Why do our tutors cost what they do?
They are all experienced qualified teachers.

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

Richmond, being a popular area for families to live in London, has several independent schools known for their academic excellence and facilities including King’s House School, a co-educational school (from September 2024) for children aged 3 to 13, offering both preparatory and pre-preparatory education and The Harrodian School, a co-educational independent school for students aged 4 to 18, providing a balanced education with a strong emphasis on arts and sports.
In addition, there are single-sex schools, including St. Catherine’s School, Twickenham, a girls’ independent school for students aged 3 to 18, offering a broad curriculum and a supportive learning environment.
Slightly further out but still accessible from Richmond are Lady Eleanor Holles, a top-performing school for girls aged 7 to 18 in Hampton, and neighbouring Hampton School, an incredibly popular choice for boys aged 11 to 18, which also has an associated prep school.
Richmond is a wonderful area with plenty to offer for families, including:
Richmond Park, a large and beautiful royal park with deer roaming freely. It’s an excellent place for picnics, walking, cycling, and even horse riding.
Kew Gardens: visit the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Kew Gardens is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site but also a fantastic place for children to explore and learn.
Richmond Riverside: take a stroll along the scenic Richmond Riverside. You can enjoy picturesque views of the River Thames, watch boats, and perhaps feed the ducks.
Ham House and Gardens: explore Ham House, a historic mansion with well-preserved gardens. It often hosts family-friendly events and activities.
These are just a few suggestions, and Richmond has much more to offer. The area is known for its family-friendly atmosphere, green spaces, and cultural attractions. As you settle in, you’ll likely discover even more activities and hidden gems that cater to your family’s interests.
