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
Words just cannot describe our appreciation for Kevin’s remarkable teaching and the tremendous support and care he has shown towards my son’s learnings. In just a short timeframe with Kevin, my son has taken a huge leap forward in his understanding and confidence in Mechanics. Initially, we took Kevin on for help on my son’s Mechanics but he has recently been instrumental in helping my son with his Pure as well. Kevin is truly a gem. My son had other tutors in the past but none was able to effectively improve him. We are very blessed to have found Kevin at the crucial time to the finals. We couldn’t be more please! You have my deepest thanks, Kevin!
