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
I've been very impressed with Janette I've also appreciated her honesty/candour with how my daughter, is progressing. Janette is working hard to get Naomi to her A level grade- but (and this is what I wanted) has been clear that my daughter effectively needed to buckle down/get more tuition and get herself focused.
Janette's biography
Janette gained a first class honours degree in Biology from the University of Cardiff. She then achieved a PGCE from the University of Southampton where she was awarded the Southampton Teachers Association Prize as the best PGCE student of the year.
Janette has enjoyed teaching in a variety of different schools and is currently teaching in a small, successful private school after almost 8 years teaching Biology at one of the top state grammar schools in the country. She has an infectious enthusiasm for her subject which inspires the students she teaches. She has a patient approach to teaching and encourages students to strive to achieve to the best of their ability. She is proud that one of her GCSE Biology students attained 197 out of 200 mark in the summer 2023 examinations session.
In addition to her classroom teaching she has been a private tutor for more than 15 years. She enjoys the opportunities this allows to work with each student as an individual building the self-confidence which underpins their success.
Janette is also an experienced senior examiner with more than 15 years examining experience at both GCSE and A level. This work has given her an invaluable insight into the intricacies of often very strict mark schemes.
In her spare time reading is a passion, as is walking through beautiful countryside with her children, enjoying the wonders of the natural world. She also enjoys yoga which she finds an invaluable tool for relaxation.
