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

Ariella's biography
Ariella has been teaching in the UK for the past 9 years and she is an experienced classroom teacher. She has taught in two independent schools in London and Berkshire and she has a proven track record of excellent grade progression. Ariella is passionate about Literature and she has taught across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.
Ariella has worked as EPQ co-ordinator and she knows how important it is to engage with language in order to gain confidence and clarity in the study of English. Although Shakespeare has become an increasingly difficult area of study for many students, Ariella has always loved theatre and she brings Shakespeare's plays to life in such a way that they remain a part of student's lives forever.
As an experienced classroom teacher, Ariella has also worked closely with students who have more complex learning needs. She is a patient and warm person who genuinely wants her student's to share in her love of language. In many instances, the one-to-one support that Ariella has offered her students throughout her career has afforded them the key insights that they need to produce their best work regardless of their learning needs.
