Before we recommend a tutor, we want to know what the learner actually needs. That is the whole point of the free home assessment.
Before the visit
We ask for a short description of the challenge and, where possible, recent school work: exercise books, test papers, a school report or the current scheme of work. This lets the assessor arrive with the right material instead of guessing.
During the session
The assessment usually takes 45 to 60 minutes with the learner, plus time with the parent.
- A short conversation about school, subjects and what feels difficult.
- A few diagnostic questions pitched at the learner's level.
- A look at recent work to spot patterns: careless errors, missing foundations, unfinished topics.
- A discussion about schedule, location and how lessons would run.
There is no obligation to continue, and no pressure to sign anything on the day.
Afterwards
Parents receive a clear summary:
- The strengths we noticed.
- The specific gaps, in order of priority.
- A recommended number of weekly sessions and subject focus.
- A suggested tutor profile — level, curriculum and teaching style.
Why we do it this way
Matching a tutor without an assessment usually means guessing. A learner who is failing word problems needs different help from one who understands the method but rushes the arithmetic. The assessment separates those cases before anyone pays for lessons.

Assessments are free for families in Greater Accra and can be arranged online for learners outside the city. Request a tutor and mention that you would like an assessment first.
