A Year-Maths tutor gives your child the help he needs in the areas he needs it most.
Before a Year-Maths tutor can formulate your child's personalised
tutoring program, we require a detailed profile of your child's individual
academic strengths and needs. The specific needs of your child are captured by a Year-Maths
Assessment, a unique combination of standardised tests, diagnostic tools and personal interviews
(including vision and hearing screening). The results are a blueprint that
your Year-Maths tutor uses to determine areas where your child needs to the most help.
We work with you to develop the most personalised program possible for your child.
For more than 20 years, the Year-Maths Assessment has served as
the springboard that launches your child toward his learning goals. The Year-Maths
Assessment is an essential component of every Year-Maths tutoring program.
Below we have outlined the advantages of the Year-Maths Assessment.
- Academic subjects don't exist in isolation. Addressing what "someone thinks the problem is" in one subject
does not uniformly remediate or enrich a child's school studies. For instance, a student might be
struggling in maths because he cannot read word problems. Without the Year-Maths
Assessment, a tutor could mistakenly spend time covering maths units, when the most pressing needs are in reading.
- We also find that problems in school are rarely limited to one subject. While trouble in one subject may be
more obvious than another, more often than not, the Year-Maths
Assessment will uncover gaps in other subject areas.
- The Year-Maths Assessment also provides a benchmark from
which each child is starting. As students see their own progress made during regular subject testing,
their motivation and confidence levels will rise.
Additionally, the results of the Year-Maths Assessment are used in the regular
progress reports
your Year-Maths tutor schedules. The assessment is the basis for determining
and proving the success of your child's work with a Year-Maths tutorial program.
The Year-Maths Assessment results are also used to measure if
Year-Maths's performance guarantee has been met.
The Year-Maths Assessment is guided by assessment practices
espoused in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing and Code of Fair Testing Practices in Education.
