Why do our tutors cost what they do?

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

Joanna's biography
Joanna is a former secondary teacher with 28 years’ experience of teaching a variety of subjects including geography, French and business subjects at GCSE and A Level and now wants to focus her skills on tutoring individual students. She is available for both home tutoring and online.
For the last 14 years she was head of Geography at the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle in London where she taught GCSE and A Level as well as organising all the fieldwork trips and exam preparation for whole classes, small groups and individual students. She is experienced in conducting fieldwork at both GCSE and A Level and enjoys preparing A Level geography students for their NEAs.
She has worked as an examiner for AQA in GCSE Geography for 11 years and is now an A Level examiner for Eduqas. She has also acted as a personal tutor to sixth form students helping them with general progress and guiding them with their university applications to Russell Group universities. She is a fluent French speaker with a degree in European Studies and has enjoyed teaching French at different levels to students of all ages including adults, as well as some basic Spanish.
Her teaching aim is to get to know individuals, focusing on building their confidence through developing their strengths and tackling their weaknesses so that they enjoy learning, fulfil their potential, and achieve success. She believes developing strong communication skills, both oral and written, is vital as is improving exam technique by understanding the requirements and then practising the skills needed to answer different types of questions.
With a passion for the natural world and the outdoors, she has inspired many students to continue their geography studies beyond GCSE to university and feels that understanding the world around us and the effect we are having on it, is even more important as we face the challenges of climate change.
In her spare time, she enjoys walking, playing sport and spending time at her home in France.
