How can I save money when using an Owl Tutor
Consider online tuition if you have not already done so. Most students at KS2 or above will have no problem engaging just as efficiently with an online tutor than a face to face one. Face to face tuition can be up to 50% more expensive for the same tutor!
Consider shorter sessions. Most tuition sessions are one hour. 40 minute sessions can often be effective and could reduce your fees by 33%.
Find out if there are times that you can offer to your tutor that are more convenient for them. Most tutors find it difficult to fill their hours during the day (9am to 3pm) in the week. Many of them will accept lower rates at these times.
How do our fees work?
Our tutors set the rates that they wish to be paid on each job. The rate that they will request will be dependent on a number of factors including:
The rate they wish to earn per hour
Whether the job is face to face or online
How much preparation time is required for each session
The tutor's remaining availability
Nancy's biography
Nancy acquired a BSc before pursuing a career in education. She has worked in primary education for nearly twenty years and across all year groups.
Nancy has extensive experience preparing children for Key Stage 1 and 2 SATs and a proven track record of improving pupil outcomes. She also offers comprehensive support for pupils targeting entrance to London based grammar and independent schools preparing them for all elements of the 11+ exams.
Nancy believes that tutoring sessions should be tailored to the need of the individual child to enable them to develop a strong conceptual understanding of each subject that can be build upon in future. She also aims to employ a range of interactive strategies in sessions to keep pupil engagement high and help to foster a lifelong love of learning.
Nancy has held several leadership positions in schools including, but not limited to the leadership of maths and humanities and has made substantial contributions to curriculum development. Her work as a private tutor includes preparing pupils for the 11+ and supporting pupils to 'catch up' with age-related expectations (particularly post covid).
