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!

*Please note that these prices are indicative only, rates for tutors will be confirmed upon Owl Tutors making recommendations to you.
A placement fee of £95 is payable for each tutor that is introduced to you - this will only be charged if a tuition session takes place and will be added to your first invoice.
There are no registration fees. This means that you can meet a tutor without having to pay anything. You will only be invoiced if you engage one of our tutors to deliver tuition after having discussed your requirements with them.
Why do our tutors cost what they do?
They are all experienced qualified teachers.
Many of our school entrance tutors have significant experience and track records in preparing students for competitive school entrance exams
Many of our tutors are also examiners
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
Peter's biography
Peter is a highly experienced preparatory school teacher with 20 years of experience in preparing children of all abilities for entrance exams, including 7+ and 11+. Peter has enabled pupils to gain places at some of the UK’s leading independent schools, such as Brighton College, City of London Freemen’s School, Epsom College, Reed’s and St George’s School.
We all have our preferred learning style and Peter takes great pride in enabling pupils to discover theirs and work to their full potential in a fun and engaging environment, online or in person. He will teach exam technique and revision strategies, allowing pupils to be fully prepared and confident for their entrance examinations. In addition to the key examination elements: grammar, comprehension, mental arithmetic, problem solving, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, Peter has a keen interest and knowledge in a broad curriculum and can provide support and guidance in any KS2 subject.
Pastorally, Peter will ensure that any pupil under his tutelage will receive the best possible care and attention needed to flourish. A happy child will naturally be productive, motivated and keen to learn. Peter will keep open and regular communication with parents and pupils so that all parties can work together to achieve the same goal.
I have helped 4 students gain places at Brighton College in the last two years.
I have led specialist classes in ISEB entrance examinations, focussing on English, Maths, Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning.

Peter qualified to teach Primary education in PGCE QTS, and holds a PGCE General Primary from Exeter University.
