How we Assess Your Child's Learning Needs
We offer professional assessments to evaluate your child's reading, spelling, phonological awareness, comprehension, writing, and math skills using recognised New Zealand curriculum testing tools. These assessments help us identify any learning gaps and enable us to customise lessons that support your child's specific needs and help them progress.
