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

Matt's biography
Matt has extensive experience in teaching children in Independent schools. For 15 years he was a teacher at Eaton House Belgravia where many boys were accepted into Westminster Under, St Paul’s Junior, Kings College, Sussex House and Wetherby. He has been a private tutor throughout this time and has an enthusiastic and caring teaching style. He is a brilliant motivator and deliverer and guides students with a belief in themselves and constantly reinforces their self esteem. His strengths are in understanding children and using teaching styles that make learning fun and exciting. He is able to teach effectively all the core subjects but particularly English, Maths, Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning and Science. Matt can also guide students in Exam and Interview techniques, as he has learnt many tricks and secret strategies schools use to filter out applicants in the hectic exam process. Aside from this, Matt can also assist in offering general help, guidance, structuring and securing areas that the child needs boosting in.

School entrance experience
Matt has worked with children aiming to attend the following schools:
While teaching in London, Matt has assisted and guided many boys to these top schools. The ‘Big Five’ were Westminster, Kings, Wetherby, St Paul’s (formerly Colet Court) and Sussex House. It was remarkable how the child gained a place in the school best suited to him. That is the reason for these exams and observations and interviews, after all. For the 11 years, Matt was a classroom teacher, it was a tricky time for most of the boys. It was tough for them to be so young and exposed to such a rigorous experience. His role was to get them as ready as they could be, to have them relaxed and able to show their skills and knowledge to each of the schools they applied for. With boys so young, it isn’t possible that each is mature enough at that age. When Matt became the Head of Science, he did continue to tutor boys. Some of the students he coached gained places in these schools after they left EHB and had time to click into their potential. Matt cared about the child rather than the school they were applying for. He knew that if the students understood what they did and could demonstrate their knowledge, however they were asked, they would stand out as a suitable candidate.

Matt qualified to teach Primary education in 2004, and holds a Bachelor Primary Education. from Southern Cross University.
