We believe that qualified teachers are uniquely positioned to provide outstanding tuition. However, we also recognise that not all qualified teachers excel in their craft. That’s why all of our tutors are not only certified educators but have also successfully passed our rigorous assessment process, proving they are truly exceptional teachers!

Why do our tutors cost what they do?

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
The tutor's remaining availability

Barbara has extensive experience in creating and delivering bespoke booster classes and interventions for small groups and on a one-to-one basis to enhance her pupils’ knowledge and confidence in Maths, reading and grammar and to prepare children for exam-style questions.
She is skilled in supporting children with a wide range of needs.

Her experience also includes working with children who have special educational needs, such as ASD, dyslexia, speech and language difficulties, as well as those with English as a second language.
When tutoring, Barbara values building a picture of a child’s current abilities in the chosen subject, so she has a clear idea of their strengths and areas for growth. Barbara prides herself in using interactive and motivating activities, games and strategies tailored for the child’s needs. With her carefully planned lessons, constructive feedback and effective communication with both children and parents, Barbara’s goal is to secure pupil’s core skills and develop their confidence. This sets a solid foundation for her to build onto in tutoring sessions, and for the child to thrive with when back in their classroom.
