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?

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

Kit's biography
Kirsty is a former Head of English with over ten years' experience of rapidly improving attainment levels at KS3 and KS4.
Driven by her desire and proven ability to help others set, achieve and exceed meaningful personal goals, she now uses her compassion and creativity to create a bespoke tuition experience for each of her students. Her calm and motivating approach is underpinned by an extensive knowledge of the core subjects of English, Maths and Science, coupled with a deep understanding of how young people learn.
As a private tutor, Kirsty has enjoyed seeing her students' successes at the 7+ and 11+ levels in the North West of England and, following a move to online teaching, is beginning to see the impact of her influence further afield. Kirsty also produces high-quality educational resources and her students benefit from using these tailored materials in lessons.
Kirsty's warm, friendly nature makes her the teacher you can 'never forget' and her genuine belief in the limitless potential of each student is evident in her every interaction.
