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

Dysgraphia
Intro
Dysgraphia is a recognised need that relates to difficulties with writing due to an impairment of fine motor skills, which are essential when it comes to writing.
This is most often associated with subjects such as English and the humanities but Dysgraphia can also impact a students work in mathematics, particularly when it comes down to writing extended responses.
As such, if left unsupported, Dysgraphia can impact a child’s attitude to writing, and by implication, learning. No-one really knows the root cause of Dysgraphia and unlike Dyslexia and Dyscalculia it is harder to research clinically and therefore there is much less research data available.
That said it’s important that those children with Dyspraxia can get specialist support to help them. This short guide is designed to give you an overview of the key features of Dysgraphia and how a child (or adult!) can be supported.
Key Features
Like many needs, dysgraphia can vary from person to person. There are however, broad features which many people with Dysgraphia share. Some common features include, but are not limited to:
Painful and sore writing hand after a period of extended writing
Illegible writing that does not stay on the line
Unorthodox arm and body position when writing
Cramped sentences with varying degrees of spacing between words
Problems with typing
A marked difference between written and verbal articulation
Inconsistent writing style e.g. moving from joined-up to printed letters within the same sentence
Reluctance to write
What can help?
There are a number of strategies available that can help children and adults with Dysgraphia. It’s important to remember though that unlike other needs there is much less research associated with Dysgraphia than other needs. It is worth liaising closely with your child’s teacher and dysgraphia specialists. Things that might help include:
Providing extra thinking and writing time (for public examinations there will need to be a formal clinical assessment by an educational psychologist)
Support from an Occupation Therapist
Keep writing short and sweet for a period
Speaking with your child’s teacher and school SENCO
One-to-one support to build confidence and boost writing consistency
Final Thoughts
As we have seen, unlike many SEN needs there is little in the way of consistent research into Dysgraphia. That said, there are useful strategies that can be employed to support children and young people.
Melisa has been such a brilliant tutor for Jonah. She is knowledgable, supportive and caring and Jonah’s confidence and understanding of Maths has increased tenfold since having his sessions with her. Her feedback after each session is extremely useful and provides detailed information on what has been covered and useful tips for his teacher and us as well. She really is an incredible tutor and we feel so lucky to have found her!
