Why do our tutors cost what they do?
They are all experienced qualified teachers.

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
Great teacher.

A dynamic, experienced and friendly teacher of economics with 19 years experience of teaching the subject at AS/A2, IB Higher and Standard Levels and GCSE/IGCSE levels . Before becoming a teacher Peter worked for the American International Bank Citibank and spent some time running his own business.

My son has thoroughly enjoyed learning with Peter. After all the disruption to schooling over the past two years, Peter has patiently and thoughtfully explained and prepared him for tests, mock papers and the final exams in Economics throughout his GCSE year.
