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

Jacqueline's biography
Jacqueline is an enthusiastic, experienced and creative teacher who can personalise learning and engage students at all levels. Jacqueline studied Classical Archaeology at King's College London before completing a Primary PGCE and gaining Qualified Teacher Status in 2003. She has taught across the primary age range from ages 4-11 and spent ten years as Curriculum and Assessment Lead and Deputy Headteacher. While she is experienced at teaching across all subject areas in EYFS, KS1 and KS2, her passion and specialism is teaching English, which she has taught to children in all Key Stages, from up to GCSE level.
Jacqueline has taught children working towards Greater Depth in reading and writing in Year 6 and general SATs preparation in maths and English. She gained her Master's in Education in 2019, graduating with a Distinction and her academic research on reading and identity is currently being edited for publication. Since 2021, she has worked successfully as a private tutor, supporting children with 11+ and 13+ exam preparation, English Language GCSE and English Literature GCSE. She also works as an Associate Lecturer in Initial Teacher Education at Brunel University and previously at London Metropolitan University, supervising trainee teachers with practical and academic work and supervising Master's students with final dissertation projects. She also delivers training to Early Years Teacher Trainees and assesses school leaders' submissions for the National Professional Qualifications for senior leaders.
Jacqueline ensures that lessons are tailored to individual children's needs and revised through ongoing formative assessments. Her lessons are interactive and engaging, with a variety of tasks, games and strategies which ensure children make rapid progress. Helping children to become confident, independent learners is the most rewarding part of her role as a tutor. Given how crucial it is for children to have independent practice, homework is set which will both challenge children and give them the opportunity to consolidate skills taught in lessons. Jacqueline helps children to develop strong, independent study habits which are life-long, transferable skills.
