We believe that qualified teachers are uniquely positioned to provide outstanding tuition. However, we also recognise that not all qualified teachers excel in their craft. That’s why all of our tutors are not only certified educators but have also successfully passed our rigorous assessment process, proving they are truly exceptional teachers!

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
Swithun's biography
Swithun has 4 years experience as an AQA A-level Economics examiner. He is also a fully qualified teacher and has taught and tutored both children and adults since 2011. His specialisms are A-level Economics and Business Studies but he has also prepared candidates for Oxbridge entry.
He has tutored both the domestic and international exam boards for many years including: AQA, Edexcel, OCR, EDUQAS, WJEC, CIE, International Edexcel, IB, Pre-U and SEB.
He has tutored online for over 3000 hours and finds that for Economics and Business Studies it is as good as in person, if not better, since it is much easier to send model paragraphs and diagrams. He endeavours to make sure his students feel as comfortable as possible and encourages them to ask questions because asking questions is the best way to learn. His sessions are always tailored to the students' individual requirements and are focused around the specific requirements of the exam. Parents often remark that their child is much more confident with the subject following sessions with him.
Swithun has also written 195 questions for a Cambridge University Press iGCSE Economics Textbook.
He is a father of four and a fully qualified teacher turned full-time private tutor with Enhanced DBS Clearance. He is an enthusiastic tutor who has an excellent track record in helping students achieve, or exceed, their target grades. Finally, he has fibre broadband for an excellent online experience.
IB Experience
Swithun has successfully tutored in both IB Business and IB Economics at the Higher Level. He assisted in planning and constructing their extended essays in addition to improving their knowledge of the syllabus.
