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?
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
The tutor's remaining availability
Howard's biography
Not just a qualified teacher with a Doctorate and First class Physics degree, but a published scientist and founder of 2 tech start-ups. If you want to achieve academic excellence to prepare you for science & technology in the real world, Howard is your man!
He provides real motivation to his students as they see the real-world application of the subject matter. Combining that with his knowledge of pedagogy from classroom teaching and tutoring, he meets the student where they are at in their educational journey and walks with them.
His light-hearted and friendly demeanour put his students at ease as they enjoy grappling with tough challenges and gain satisfaction in their completion.
School teaching experience:
- Science and Maths teacher North Cambridge Academy
- Physics teacher at Hills Road Sixth Form College
- Computing and Physics teacher at the British School of Sofia
Individual tutoring experience:
- School tutoring with Swavesey Village College in Cambridgeshire
- University tutoring at the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University
- Homeschooling in Oxford
Approach:
• Student-centred: By first understanding where the student is at, I tailor my approach to their needs.
• Confidence is key: I often meet pupils whose confidence was damaged by the classroom environment and thus offer plenty of encouragement and meaningful support.
• Practice makes perfect: Using well selected exercises that meet the pupil at their point in the learning journey and guide them forwards.
• Motivation is crucial to unlocking the effort required to succeed. Knowing why it is important and how it is used in the real world can really help.
• Genuine enthusiasm for the subject matter - passion is contagious!
• Instil a love of learning by making the whole process enjoyable.
