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

Angus's biography
Angus began his teaching career in Edinburgh working with both English and Scottish exam boards. He then moved overseas and began his engagement with the IB Diploma Programme. He has taught in three different international schools and delivered a range of subjects. He has also held a variety of roles that have given me an insight into the wider programme and ways in which he can support students achieve their goals, including aspirations for tertiary education institutions.
The common thread throughout his teaching career has been chemistry and as well as helping students enjoy the subject by appreciating a topic's wider implications, he is also able to ensure they maximise their marks through his experience as an examiner. he is a patient, responsive individual who encourages problem solving as part of the learning process. A professor he met once shared, 'learning is what happens when people think hard', and to get the most out of his sessions, participants can expect to be challenged and pushed to take risks with their thinking.
IB Experience
Extensive experience with the IB. Currently still working as an examiner.
Angus has taught TOK, Chemistry and ESS at IBDP. He has supervised many EEs over the years. Angus been a CAS coordinator and IBDP coordinator so is very familiar with the programme, its rigour and philosophy.
