How can I make the most of my tutoring to ensure I maximise my results?

To make the most of your tuition with Owl Tutors: Attend sessions regularly and punctually. Complete all set homework and actively review your notes between lessons. Keep your tutor informed of topics you find difficult or uncertain. Use the tutor's feedback to refine your exam technique (for example, timing, structuring answers, using correct terminology). Consider grouping revision topics around the exam structure, and practise past papers under timed conditions.

Fees for our Qualified Teachers

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!

Our hourly rates start from £70.00 and increase depending on experience and availability. Please see the table below for indicative price ranges for different types and levels of tutoring.

Tuition Type	Price range (£ per hour inc. of VAT)
UK School entrance tuition (7+, 8+ , 11+ and 13+)	80 - 160
Key Stage 1,2 & 3	70 - 100
GCSE / IGCSEs	70 - 100
A-Level	80 - 120
International Baccaluareate DP	90 - 140
International Baccaluareate MYP	80 - 120
Pre-U	100 - 140

*Please note that these prices are indicative only, rates for tutors will be confirmed upon Owl Tutors making recommendations to you.

A placement fee of £95 is payable for each tutor that is introduced to you - this will only be charged if a tuition session takes place and will be added to your first invoice.

There are no registration fees. This means that you can meet a tutor without having to pay anything. You will only be invoiced if you engage one of our tutors to deliver tuition after having discussed your requirements with them.

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
Many of our tutors are also examiners
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

Ready to be matched with your ideal A Level AQA Chemistry tutor?

Owl Tutors matches you with a specialist tutor who knows the AQA A-Level Chemistry syllabus intimately. Your tutor will assess where you are currently, identify the specific topics you struggle with (for example, physical chemistry, organic mechanisms or transition metals), and build a bespoke plan to strengthen your knowledge, hone exam technique (such as tackling 10- and 12-mark questions) and optimise your revision. This targeted one-to-one approach aims to elevate your performance and confidence.

Yes. Every tutor listed via Owl Tutors is a qualified teacher or the international equivalent, has undergone an enhanced DBS check, and has passed Owl Tutors’ rigorous selection process. Many also have direct experience as examiners, giving them valuable insight into what examiners look for.

Absolutely. The tutors provided by Owl Tutors are familiar with the AQA (7405/7406) A-Level Chemistry syllabus (or its updated codes), including the required practicals, assessment objectives and mark schemes. Lessons are aligned with your exam board’s format and are designed to meet the requirements of the AQA examinations.

Certainly. Owl Tutors offers both online and (where feasible) in-person tuition. The online option is highly effective, utilising digital tools, screen-sharing and interactive resources. If you prefer face-to-face, this can be arranged subject to your location and tutor availability.

The number of sessions will depend on several factors: your current level of understanding, your target grade (for example, aiming for a grade A* vs C), how much independent revision you’ll do, and how far ahead of your exams you begin. In the first meeting your tutor will review your background, set realistic goals, and propose a schedule of lessons and tasks to support your preparation.

Yes. A key part of the value from Owl Tutors is that the one-to-one sessions are complemented by focused independent study. Your tutor will set appropriate homework (such as past-paper questions or concept reviews), supply revision materials (digital or printed), give feedback, and help you build confidence with those more challenging parts of the syllabus.

Owl Tutors prioritises ensuring the best fit between student and tutor. If you feel the match isn’t working (teaching style, rapport, communication), you can discuss this with Owl Tutors and they will help you find an alternative tutor better suited to your needs.

To make the most of your tuition with Owl Tutors:

Attend sessions regularly and punctually.
Complete all set homework and actively review your notes between lessons.
Keep your tutor informed of topics you find difficult or uncertain.
Use the tutor’s feedback to refine your exam technique (for example, timing, structuring answers, using correct terminology).
Consider grouping revision topics around the exam structure, and practise past papers under timed conditions.
