A Schoolwiz tutor gives your child the help he needs in the areas he needs it most.
Before a Schoolwiz 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 Schoolwiz
Assessment, a unique combination of standardised tests, diagnostic tools and personal interviews
(including vision and hearing screening). The results are a blueprint that
your Schoolwiz 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 Schoolwiz Assessment has served as
the springboard that launches your child toward his learning goals. The Schoolwiz
Assessment is an essential component of every Schoolwiz tutoring program.
Below we have outlined the advantages of the Schoolwiz 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 Schoolwiz
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 Schoolwiz
Assessment will uncover gaps in other subject areas.
- The Schoolwiz 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 Schoolwiz Assessment are used in the regular
progress reports
your Schoolwiz tutor schedules. The assessment is the basis for determining
and proving the success of your child's work with a Schoolwiz tutorial program.
The Schoolwiz Assessment results are also used to measure if
Schoolwiz's performance guarantee has been met.
The Schoolwiz Assessment is guided by assessment practices
espoused in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing and Code of Fair Testing Practices in Education.
