| If you're interested in receiving tutoring services, we offer communication through telephone, e-mail, or Skype. Before we begin, we'll conduct a placement assessment that typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the learner's level. This assessment will help identify areas where the learner may be struggling. The main component of the assessment is the Meta Linguistic Awareness Test (MALT).
Once the MALT is completed, we'll move on to the next stage of the assessment, which examines the learner's awareness of alphabet letters including their names, sounds, sequencing, and shapes. |
This is known as Knowledge Phoneme to Grapheme Correspondence and is essential for identifying which sounds the learner may be struggling with. Finally, the remaining portion of the assessment consists of spelling tests for letter sounds, words, non-words, and sentence writing. At the end of the assessment, we'll provide a short report with all observations and recommendations on how to proceed and where to start in the Alpha to Omega programme. |
