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
Antonia's biography
Antonia has thirty years teaching experience, having worked in both state and independent sectors and throughout the primary phase. She has most recently spent ten years working in years 5 and 6 specialising in English at an Outer London prep school. In this role she has been responsible for preparing students for both grammar and independent secondary school entrance exams including Whitgift, Ewell Castle, Wilson’s, Wallington Boys, Sutton Grammar and GDST. She has an excellent track record and this year assisted 8 children to reach their goals and pass into their chosen secondary schools.
Antonia has also tutored children privately for entrance exams to a number of local grammar and independent schools, as well as providing support for those children who find English difficult to grasp in the mainstream classroom.
Antonia builds excellent relationships with her students and provides detailed feedback to parents. She adopts a personal and tailored learning style, ensuring that each student feels comfortable and is encouraged to discuss their goals and strengths as well as the areas they may find more challenging. Having worked with many children with additional needs such as dyslexia, ADHD and ASD, and having held the position of Senco for four years in her most recent school, Antonia is very aware of the need to approach each student as an individual with their own unique learning style.
