TRANSPARENT ADMISSIONS

Your Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about our refundable deposit, technical setup, and bespoke tutor vetting before your child's trial session.

How exactly does the £10 refundable deposit work?

The £10 deposit reserves your dedicated tutor's time and prevents empty calendar slots. Once your child attends the trial lesson, the full £10 is refunded directly back to your original payment card within 24 hours. Alternatively, you can apply it as an immediate credit toward regular weekly lessons.

What technical equipment does my child need for the lesson?

All sessions run through our secure, browser-based digital classroom. Your child only requires a laptop, desktop, or tablet with a functional webcam, microphone, and a stable internet connection. No third-party software downloads or complicated configurations are needed.

How are Merit Tutors vetted and qualified?

Every tutor undergoes a rigorous four-stage selection process. We exclusively accept subject specialists from leading UK universities who hold enhanced DBS clearance. Fewer than 6% of applicants pass our academic assessment and safeguarding audits.

Can I reschedule or cancel our trial session if our schedule changes?

Yes. You can reschedule or cancel your trial appointment up to 24 hours before the booked time directly from your confirmation email. Your £10 deposit will be preserved for the new time or returned to you in full without penalty.

What happens immediately after the trial lesson concludes?

Following the trial, your tutor provides a bespoke written assessment highlighting your child's core strengths and growth areas. You will then have the option to schedule regular weekly tuition with the same tutor or pause without further obligation.
