Student Assessment Process

Assessments are an important part of the tutoring process, establishing a baseline and gap/strength analysis at the beginning of the tutoring engagement. Often, older and more experienced students will have a good idea of where help is needed, and have an understanding of their gaps and strengths. In these situations, the tutor and the student can collectively assess – and document – gaps/strengths and arrive at a detailed goal for the overall engagement and for each session, using existing material such as study packets, quiz/exam results, homework assignments, etc. (The student should apply our AMPS session prep methodology when needed).

For younger students, assessments can be more difficult as younger students often don’t know what they don’t know, or don’t have the motivation or support to thoroughly assess their own gaps and strengths. In these cases, we assign assessments through our partner, Let’s Go Learn, which provides data-driven, thorough assessments based on the Common Core State Standards for Math and ELA. Let’s Go Learn is recognized as a leader in this space and used by multiple schools and tutoring centers throughout the country. The assessments will provide a detailed gap/proficiency diagnosis by subject area with recommended starting points where tutors should prioritize tutoring as they start the engagement. Below are instructions for parents who need guidance for their student’s assigned Let’s Go Learn assessment.

Assessment Instructions for Students and Parents

Note that most parents will receive instructions for assessments upon registering to become a new student. Occasionally, however, parents may ask for assessment instructions from the tutor. If instructions are requested, send the below guidance:
