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

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

What does "Other School Entrance" mean?
The most common and popular entry points for independent school assessment are 7 plus, 11 plus and 13 plus (or Common Entrance Level). These are closely followed by 8 plus examinations and 16 plus entry tests for Sixth Forms at independent schools.
There are however, a number of alternative points, including 9 plus, 10 plus, 14 plus and other entries, including 5 plus.
The tutors features on this page have experience preparing students for these less common forms of assessment.
Are these entry points more difficult to pass?
All assessments, including the more common entry points, are designed to identify which students are performing at a higher level, compared with other entrants. They can therefore be challenging assessments and the less common entry points are no exception.
An additional consideration is that there are often fewer places available for successful applicants, therefore giving the impression the places are harder to secure. It should be acknowledged however, that there are many more applicants for the more traditional entry points, so chances can be seen as broadly the same.
