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

Rob's biography
Robert is a linguist with a passion for French and Spanish. He studied French and Welsh at Cardiff University and also has an MA (distinction) in International Development and Education from UCL. Robert's approach is methodical and empathetic, helping his students find enjoyment in the subject by breaking down complex ideas into simple language.
He has spent the last eight years teaching in both state and private schools: after finishing Teach First, he taught at Cranleigh School and then at Reading Blue Coats School where he taught French and Spanish whilst also advising their languages department on how to teach the Edexcel IGCSE French course.
Finally, until July 2022 he worked for four years at the West London Free School where he taught French and Spanish and trained a number of incoming members of staff. In all three of these schools, he always made time to pioneer extra-curricular interventions that targeted pupils who were underperforming in both French and Spanish at GCSE.
