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
Natalie has been a brilliant maths tutor to our daughter over this academic year. Natalie has a very calm, warm manner and takes time to plan engaging and well-paced lessons. Natalie took time to set manageable homework tasks and gave helpful feedback on my daughter’s progress and areas to focus on. My daughter never complained about logging in to online lessons with Natalie and definitely benefitted from Natalie’s patience and interactive ideas. Natalie’s experience as a class teacher meant that I was confident that the lessons were focussed on the curriculum yet adapted to an appropriate level. I would definitely recommend Natalie!

Natalie's biography
Natalie has extensive experience teaching and tutoring, including twelve years as a primary school teacher and over twenty years tutoring. In addition, she is the author of educational resources and eleven plus materials.
Natalie taught Year 5 for five years in an independent preparatory school in London, preparing her entire class for eleven plus exams for both grammar and private schools. Prior to this, she taught across all years in primary school, from Reception to Year 6.
In terms of one-to-one tuition, she has prepared students for eleven plus and seven plus exams. Pupils have gained places at a number of schools, including City of London (a scholarship awarded), City of London School for Girls, Bancroft’s School, Forest School and Chigwell School. Grammar school places awarded include Woodford County High, Wallington County Grammar School and Chelmsford County High School for Girls.
In addition to preparing students for exams, Natalie has helped numerous children gain greater confidence and develop their skills in maths and English. She is able to engage children in the learning and to make lessons enjoyable. She sets work at just the right level to encourage success. Natalie has an excellent track record of teaching dyslexic pupils who are struggling to read – three students particularly became avid, enthusiastic and fluent readers, having been behind the rest of their class in this area.
Since 2020, Natalie has been tutoring online. She has found that this platform works extremely well. The lessons are interactive and engaging for the student. She now works exclusively as a tutor.
