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
