We are
O.W.L. Educational Services

We believe the knowledge one acquires is the key to success in today's world. This is why O.W.L. Educational Services is committed to providing academic support of the highest quality. We help students from all walks of life succeed in the world of academics and beyond. O.W.L. Educational Services works in a manner that best suits your busy schedule. 

​

O.W.L. was launched in 2018 by a former classroom English teacher who wanted to focus on providing more than just another tutoring company. We work with not only K-12 students but also adults of all ages. Since our debut, we have worked with families worldwide and have expanded our programs into the world of secular homeschooling through the 2020 launch of "Our Wisdom Leads Academy" which promotes "learning at your student's pace." We also were recognized as a top finalist in The Free Lance-Star's 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 Best of the Burg for "Best Tutoring Service."

 

Owls have long been associated with wisdom. However, our name is spelled differently. Why? We believe the wisdom we share helps lead our students towards their goals.

Hence our tagline: "Our Wisdom Leads."
