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
Robert's biography
Robert is an experienced, Oxford-educated teacher and tutor of History, Classics, and Ancient History, with a proven track record of helping students to reach their fullest potential. He spent four years as Head of History in a high-performing London school, raised A Level results to their highest ever level, and placed 13 students in Oxford or Cambridge courses following a dedicated program of one-to-one prep sessions. As a published author of a widely used textbook series, he also has close familiarity with almost all commonly taught history and ancient history topics in UK schools.
Robert's academic background is in both History and Classics, with a Master’s degree from the University of Oxford in Greek and Roman History (graduated with distinction in 2016). Prior to commencing his degree at Oxford he studied History and Classics for four years at the Australian National Univeristy, where he graduated in 2013 with honours. Driven by a sincere passion for communicating and teaching the subjects he loves, he has worked in teaching and tutoring for the past eight years.
Robert is also one of the authors of the Knowing History textbook series published by Harper Collins, which is used in History departments throughout the country and commands over 10% of Key Stage 3 History textbooks sales in the UK. Writing and contributing to these books across multiple editions entailed researching and designing teaching resources for a vast range of topics, far beyond the wide range that have taught in the classroom, and has equipped him with the subject knowledge to instruct students in a much wider range of areas than most history teacher.
Robert finds that working one-on-one with students allows him to have the greatest possible impact on their education. Through focused, tailored teaching of key material and precise guided practice, he has found that it is possible to dramatically and permanently improve a student's performance.
