We believe that qualified teachers are uniquely positioned to provide outstanding tuition. However, we also recognise that not all qualified teachers excel in their craft. That’s why all of our tutors are not only certified educators but have also successfully passed our rigorous assessment process, proving they are truly exceptional teachers!

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
The tutor's remaining availability
Targets the areas my son needs in terms of material and exam techniques

She has also marked for AQA, OCR, and Edexel exam boards, so has an excellent understanding of exam board requirements and exam technique. Kelly also has a wealth of experience in private tuition with students from all over the world, and teaches at an online international school with extremely high expectations. She worked for two years for the local authority tutoring one to one and small groups of students who couldn't attend school due to physical, mental, and behavioural issues. Therefore she has experience in a wide range of different abilities and is able to adapt her lessons to suit.
Kelly enjoys working closely with students to ensure her lessons are tailored to their learning style and academic needs, this is regularly reviewed and progress monitored to ensure they can reach their goals.

IB Experience
Kelly has taught the IB in Psychology and Sociology with various international students since 2015 on a 1:1 basis. This includes supporting students in the structure and creation of essays at the standard and higher level.
