Frequently Asked Questions
The MEI Roster: How We Choose Our Students
We do select our students, but not to form an elite club or anything. It’s more about:
- Can we meet your learning needs? 🤝
- Is your availability in sync with our schedule? 🗓️
As for our company culture we’re all about excellence in the substance but relax in the environment, so:
- If you’re the spontaneous type who likes to plan your life on a whim, or you want to book classes whenever the mood strikes, we’re not the drones you’re looking for. We offer a 24-hour cancellation policy to cancel or reschedule your class, but we operate on a recurring timetable.
- If you’re very uptight, nitpick and are constantly critical: look elsewhere. We deliver quality, but we do it in a relaxed atmosphere where neither you nor us are walking on eggshells.
Is there a commitment period?
For 1-1 tutoring, we’ve got a month-to-month thing going on. Cancel when you want! 🤗
Minimum two-month fling for paired classes. 2️⃣
As for mini-groups, it’s a full-blown relationship: 40 classes. ✈️What's the cancellation policy?
For 1-1 tutoring: 24 hours’ notice. ✅
Pair classes and mini-groups? Sorry, a missed class is just missed. You’re not alone, you know. 🤷♂️
In-company training requires a 48-hour heads-up. Need us in Singapore? We’ll talk. 😁What if I need to reschedule?
Same deal as cancellations: 1-1 classes can be moved with a 24-hour notice. Anything else, and the class stays paid. 🤷♂️
Remember we’re in the services not storable in space and time (plane tickets, hotel rooms and… English classes 🙂)Are M.E.I. Tutors Native Speakers?
Irrelevant.
Prioritising tutors based on native-speaker status isn’t just illegal under EU laws (Article 21 of EU Basic Rights, EU E-0941 23 May 2003); it’s also ill-informed. Your birthplace doesn’t dictate your ability to teach or understand language intricacies. By demanding ‘Native-Speakers only,’ you’re breaking the law and perpetuating a harmful myth.
Being a native speaker doesn’t mean you’re a better teacher. Our CELTA-certified tutors are proficient in idioms and slang, regardless of their native language. We also help you get to grips with various accents for you to choose which one to use, so choosing based on a tutor’s accent is both foolish and illegal.
Lastly, English is spoken in a range of countries and accents. If you’re going to discriminate, where do you draw the line? British over Australian? London over Edinburgh? Upper-class over working-class? Accent discrimination is legally and morally unacceptable.
If you want to sound like you’ve just stepped out of Downton Abbey, we can certainly teach you that. But don’t demand we keep up the act as well—unless, of course, it’s our natural accent.
How qualified are your tutors?
Cambridge CELTA-certified and worth their weight in gold. Academic trained, business background and years of teaching experience. To all this add MEI specific training and a lovely personality.
Seriously, you’re in good hands. ❤️🤝How are tutors assigned?
Think of it as Tinder for the academically inclined. We match you based on what you need and what our tutors excel at. ❤️
Do you teach children?
Nope, only 21+. It’s like a pub; if you’re not old enough, you’re not coming in. 🍻
Do you teach in person?
In-person? Please, it’s the 21st century 😊
With today’s tech, you get the same quality of instruction from the comfort of your home. No traffic, no pollution, and zero time-wasting. What’s not to love? 😍
Only exception is for in-company Training, that, we still do in-person (if asked politely and offered a welcome coffee 😂)Do you offer discounts for packages of lessons?
Discounts for packages? We’re one step ahead — we only sell packages 😉
Individual classes, for instance, come at €25 a pop, but that’s because you’re already committing monthly (cancel when you want!). Otherwise, they’d be a theoretical €35 — but you won’t see that rate here.What platforms do you use for online tutoring?
We use Zoom. Secure, easy to use, and doesn’t make you want to chuck your laptop out the window. 💻
Also, you’ll have access to our proprietary platform MyMEI 2.0, featuring valuable sections and tools such as: homework, class notes, invoicing, resources, class rescheduling and much more. 💯
What are the payment options?
We accept bank transfers, online payment with all major cards and in some occasions salmon or cheese. 🐟 🧀
Is there a trial class?
Trial class? Lovely idea, but no can do. We’re swamped with requests, and giving out free hours would mean inventing a 36-hour day (worked for free), we would close in a week. 😂What's the structure of a class?
Welcome to 55 minutes of brilliance, all anchored in a proven Oxbridge syllabus and—get this—exclusively in English. No Italian, don’t sweat it. This method’s been making eloquent speakers out of complete novices since 1913. 🇬🇧
Classes are about 80% speaking, but not “unorganised speaking classes”, that’s not us! We set the stage with bite-sized reading and listening inputs, the bulk—the meaty part—is all about you putting words into action sparking everything from technical analysis to off-the-cuff debates. 💬
When it comes to nitty-gritty language stuff, we’re relentless. Grammar, syntax, language structures—you’ll get the lowdown on all of it. But don’t think we’re skimping on fluency. This is a full-package deal. You’ll get the balance of accuracy and fluency down to an art form: articulating naturally, tuning your ear, thinking on your feet—the whole shebang. 💯
This isn’t just learning; it’s a deeply immersive experience. 🎯
