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!

Why do our tutors cost what they do?
They are all experienced qualified teachers.

They have achieved academic excellence themselves
Many of our tutors have achieved other relevant skills such as qualifications to assist students with special educational needs
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
Kevin's biography
Kevin is an experienced and passionate Geography Teacher, with over 23 years experience of teaching and examining since qualifying in 1999.
Kevin has worked with the IB as an examiner on Paper 3, IA and the Extended Essays. This has given him a unique insight into the keys to success for the IB Geography course. He has worked as an Assistant Headteacher in London and been a Head of Humanities and Head of Geography, in both London and international schools.
Kevin is very flexible in his approach used during lessons. Whether it is to focus on exam skills and deconstructing exam questions, reviewing syllabus knowledge and doing quick checks to ascertain whether there are gaps, or using past exam papers to practise before an important test or mock exam. Lessons normally last an hour, but he can adjust this according to your needs.
As well as being an experienced teacher, Kevin has tutored students online and face to face in a range of locations and time zones from China, Athens, Switzerland and the USA.
Kevin has lots of resources and revision packs provided will be sent before the lesson begins to ensure time is maximised. I allow plenty of opportunities for students to engage in the learning as active participants to both ensure a memorable learning experience and to formatively check understanding.
IB Experience
As well as being an Ib teacher for the last 8 years, Kevin is also an IB examiner. He works with the IB on the IA, Extended essays and Paper 3 components. He is also experienced in ESS tution and IA support.
