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
Carrie's biography
Carole originally trained as a Primary school teacher after studying Psychology at university. Her first job was in a diverse Primary school in an inner-city area with many EAL students. Carole then switched to teaching adults and sixth form students Psychology and Sociology at dynamic Further Education colleges. Carole then moved into the independent sector and spent many years as Head of Psychology at Bruton School for Girls in Somerset. During this period Carole worked seasonally for AQA as both an examiner and a senior examiner. She has tutored a diverse range of students from primary level to undergraduate level.
More recently Carole has moved from Head of a Psychology department to working as an editor online. Her current work involves undergraduate and postgraduate reports and essays from every corner of the world. This has added greatly to Carole's skill set as she is proficient at structuring essays and scientific reports. It also means that she is up to date with recently published research papers from around the globe. Carole can therefore help to improve your subject knowledge but also polish your essay and report writing skills in terms of structure and grammar.
