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?

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
Very conscientious, engaged and committed to teaching - my son enjoys the sessions very much

Jennifer's biography
Jennifer is an experienced Primary practitioner with a student centred approach to tuition which involves creating curiosity for the subject as well as building pupils' confidence in order to achieve success. Jennifer believes in discussing progress with the student at regular intervals to identify misconceptions and next steps and thereby allowing students to take charge of their own learning. This is done in an age appropriate way that builds confidence. Combined with quality teaching, Jennifer gives students the study skills and knowledge that they can apply to achieve exam success.
Jennifer completed a history degree at the University of Warwick before spending three years teaching English to Primary and Secondary school pupils in schools in Madrid and through private tuition. She is therefore experienced in teaching pupils with English as an additional Language. Jennifer completed her PGCE in Primary Education at Brunel University and has four years of UK classroom based experience in diverse London settings. She has a track record of facilitating good to outstanding progress in KS1 and 2. She has leadership experience acting as a coach to new teachers and leading RE across the school.
Currently Jennifer has left the classroom to become a full time tutor specialising in entrance exams (7+, 8+ and 11+), Maths and English. She is a dedicated tutor who takes the time to get to know her pupils' individual needs and targets in order to design a specific programme of study for them. Jennifer believes it is imperative that younger learners are given the opportunity to practice their learning in different contexts in order to embed their skills. For example in Maths using objects, real life word problems and games for learning, in English, reading and writing a range of genres. Most recently she has tutored a pupil in upper KS2 examination preparation and in a timescale of January to May achieved a 40% increase in attainment across all papers. Outside of teaching Jennifer has a keen interest in fiction and non-fiction writing and Spanish language and culture.
