FAQs

Our dedication to providing high quality services begins with our rigorous vetting process for tutors. We personally vet, interview, and review a teaching demonstration for each tutor who applies to us. This meticulous approach ensures that every tutor not only meets our high performance standards but is also safe to work with children. We model our recruitment process after best practice in British schools, aiming to mirror their standards to ensure the best possible tutor and experience for you and your child. By prioritising quality and safety, we uphold our commitment to delivering tutoring services that exceed expectations.

Tutors working with Merlin Tuition set their own rates, allowing you to find a tutor that not only matches your educational needs but also fits your budget. We believe that quality education should be accessible to all, so if you have any queries regarding budget, we'll do our best to help you find a solution what best suits your needs.

We understand that every learner has unique preferences and needs. Based on what you and your tutor determine to be the most effective approach, sessions can be conducted either in person or online. If you have a strong preference, please let us know so we can pick the best tutor for your preferred learning style.

To meet the high demand for quality tutoring in core subjects, we primarily work with specialists in English, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, 11+ and 13+ entrance exams. We also offer other subjects and embrace tutors from a wide range of backgrounds and levels, fostering a diverse community dedicated to education.

Our consultations are available to all clients, and offer an excellent opportunity to discuss your needs and address any questions or queries you might have. Once you have submitted a request, we will arrange a consultation via email, video or phone call at your discretion. Every consultation is different, but our goal remains the same: to help you make the right choice for your family.

We will discuss the student's needs in detail and explore how we can support you and match you with your ideal tutor. After your consultation, we’ll send you an email with a link to our system, connecting you with your new tutor seamlessly.
