The assessment flow
What Happens in the Demo Assessment?
A focused 35-minute session designed to understand the child's main learning need and what should come next.
02
Check the relevant skills
The teacher focuses on the skills connected to that concern—for example phonics, reading, grammar, writing, spoken English or communication.
03
Identify the starting point
We identify which skills appear secure and which area should receive attention first.
04
Recommend the next step
Parents receive a recommended Tiny Steps programme and starting point based on what was observed.
If speaking is the main concern
The assessment uses the Tiny Steps speaking framework as an observation guide
The teacher does not force every child through a ten-part test. Instead, the child's concern and current task determine which speaking dimensions are most useful to observe. The aim is to identify a starting point, the support still needed, and one high-value next target.

The speaking framework is an educational teaching and observation method. It is not a clinical, developmental-age or standardised language assessment.
A useful fit check
Who Is This Assessment For?
Especially useful when you can see the difficulty but are not yet sure which programme or starting point fits best.
Your child knows letters or sounds but struggles to blend and read unfamiliar words.
Your child reads but is slow, guesses words, or has difficulty understanding connected text.
Your child makes recurring grammar or sentence-structure errors while speaking or writing.
Your child needs help developing ideas, paragraphs, stories or school writing.
Your child gives short or hesitant responses in everyday English conversation.
Your child needs public-speaking, communication or confidence support—or you are simply not sure where to start.

A clearer view of the child’s present skill level in the area assessed.

Which learning need should receive attention first.

The most appropriate Tiny Steps programme and starting point.

What parents can review next if they choose to continue.
Decision support
Before You Enrol
You should feel clear about these four points before choosing a paid programme or package.
Programme
Which learning path is being recommended?
Starting point
Where should your child begin?
Class format
Is the suitable option live 1:1 or an available small group?
Pricing
What does the recommended format currently cost?
Assessment recommendations are based on what is observed during the session. A single assessment does not measure every English skill, and individual learning progress varies.

What can my child be assessed on?
The session is targeted to the child’s main concern and current level. Depending on the need, the teacher may check phonics, reading, grammar, writing, spoken English, public speaking or communication confidence rather than trying to test every skill in one session.
