Why do our tutors cost what they do?
They are all experienced qualified teachers.

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

Erica's biography
Erica is a patient, friendly and knowledgeable teacher able to inspire. Her focus is on conceptual understanding over procedural knowledge. She is able to identify and correct misconceptions. She is quickly able to ascertain current levels to ensure teaching is challenging but not overwhelming.
Erica has a Master's degree in Physics and Astrophysics from Leicester University. She has been teaching and leading maths and science in schools for over 15 years. She was awarded 'teacher of the year' by the local education authority while working at a British International School.
Erica has had great success tutoring students in maths and physics. Over an intensive Easter-holiday intervention, she helped a student from a prominent English public school move from a D-grade to an A in their IGCSE maths. She’s helped many students achieve the exam grades they are looking for, enabling them to move on to the colleges and universities of their choice. A recurrent testimony is that they couldn’t have done it without her.
Over and above exam results though, are reviews describing students that were struggling with a subject but went on to not only enjoy it, but to choose it for A-level study or a career.
Erica is is a versatile and sensitive teacher who is happy to tutor students across all ability ranges. She is familiar with a huge range of curriculums and exam boards including IGCSE and international A-level, as well as the international baccalaureate (IB) and all the main UK exam boards.
