Initial Ability Assessment
Before regular tutoring begins, students complete an Initial Ability Assessment covering English, Maths and Verbal Reasoning. This allows us to:
-
Identify your child’s current attainment
-
Highlight learning gaps
-
Establish realistic goals for tuition
After the assessments, I provide a written attainment report and learning gap analysis. We’ll then discuss the results and create a personalised learning plan.

-
Targeted teaching based on assessment results

Step-by-step question techniques
