Why do our tutors cost what they do?
They are all experienced qualified teachers.
Many of our school entrance tutors have significant experience and track records in preparing students for competitive school entrance exams

They have achieved academic excellence themselves
Many of our tutors have achieved other relevant skills such as qualifications to assist students with special educational needs
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

Samuel's biography
Samuel holds a BA in English & Spanish and an MA in International Relations. He has more than four years’ experience as a secondary school English teacher and has more than two years’ experience as a GCSE/A-level English Language & English Literature examiner. Throughout this period, he has developed individual question expertise and knows typical students' mistakes and misconceptions to ensure tutees do not perform the same miscalculations for GCSE & A-level English Language & Literature papers. Samuel also speaks Spanish and Portuguese and is highly knowledgeable of both GCSE and A-level papers.
Having taught in an ‘Outstanding' Ofsted rated grammar school, Samuel is well-positioned and experienced in facilitating students’ efforts in achieving success in the 11+ exam (English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning). In addition to entrance exams, he also has extensive experience teaching the IGCSE and IBDP. Many of his students/tutees have gone on to beat their predicted GCSE/A-level/IGCSE grades in English Language and English Literature as well as the IB.
Samuel holds expertise in GCSE & A-level English Language & Literature and in International Relations, Politics, Spanish & Portuguese. His versatility in teaching is underpinned by his enthusiasm to teach and achieve ‘light-bulb moments’ together with academic success for his tutees. This versatility is matched by a plethora of proven resources that he has designed, developed, and consolidated with several years of teaching experience. Spaced repetition and retrieval practice are two fundamental, research-based strategies that characterise teaching with his tutees and which he believes helps to make learning stick.
Samuel is determined to achieve academic success amongst his tutees. He enjoys putting together bespoke resources and worksheets for students that are tailored to their specific learning needs/goals. He recognises the importance of building rapport with both parent and tutee in the learning process and believes in creating a safe & challenging learning environment where tutees are comfortable making mistakes and learning from them.
