Question 2

Tell us when you book and we will plan around it. There is no timer, no red pen and no pass mark. Tutors are with your child throughout, and if they need a break or want to stop, that is completely fine. How your child responds to the situation is useful information for us as well. Our environment is designed to be warm, friendly, and completely pressure-free. Most children find the interactive activities engaging rather than stressful.

Question 3

The assessment itself is around 45 minutes. We book a two hour slot so there is time at the start to get to know you both, and time at the end to go through what we found together. Your child is not working for two hours.

Question 5

No, and please do not let them. A baseline is only useful if it shows us where your child is on an ordinary day. Revision makes the picture less accurate, not more flattering.

Question 6

No. You will get the snapshot and our honest recommendation, and then you go home and think about it. Sometimes our recommendation is that a child does not need tutoring at all, and we say so.
