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

IB Experience
Jane has been an examiner for the IB since 2009 and has taught SL and HL English Language/Literature and Literature at one of the leading IB schools: The Abbey which is a pro-active and forward-looking school. She was one of the pioneering teachers to teach the IB diploma at the school; they went on to achieve excellent results (averaging 39 points) every year. The IB has allowed Jane to become a more creative teacher, one who can provide opportunities to extend the personal autonomy and independence of the students. She has been an examiner for the IB for several years which has been extremely beneficial in helping her to prepare students for their final examinations. She has also supervised extended essays and it was extremely rewarding to see the students develop their critical thinking skills and confidence from the experience.
