Parent progress review template

A termly one-pager that keeps tutoring honest: what the goals were, what the evidence shows, what the tutor says, and what happens next.

What the template captures

Tutoring works on a rhythm: goals set at the start, evidence gathered along the way, an honest look back each term. Without the look-back, arrangements drift: sessions continue because they continue, and nobody asks whether the original reason still stands.

The template below is the complete printable content: a one-page review form in four parts, covering goals, evidence, tutor comments and next steps. It is the termly version of the first-month scorecard in our guide to evaluating the match in the first month, and it works whether the tutor is ours, another agency’s or an independent.

The review form

Part one: goals. Copy the agreed goals from the start of the term, unedited.

FieldYour entry
Goal 1, as agreed at the start
Goal 2, as agreed at the start
Goal 3, if any
Part one: the goals, restated exactly as agreed.

Part two: evidence. What do you actually have, this term, that bears on each goal?

FieldYour entry
School results or teacher comments this term
Work samples showing change, with dates
Test, quiz or mock scores, where relevant
Your child’s own account: what do they say is different?
Session notes received: how many, and what pattern do they show?
Part two: the evidence gathered this term.

Part three: tutor comments. Ask the tutor for three short written answers before you finish the review.

Question for the tutorTutor’s written answer
What has improved most this term?
Where is progress slowest, and why?
What do you propose for next term?
Part three: the tutor’s view, in writing.

Part four: next steps, agreed and dated.

How to run the review

Set aside half an hour at term’s end, ideally the same week each term. Fill parts one and two yourself first, from the session notes and school evidence you have kept; then send part three to the tutor and complete part four once their answers arrive.

Involve your child for five minutes of it: their account of what is different is evidence too, and it is often the most accurate line on the page. Younger children can simply be asked what felt easier this term.

Judge against the goals as written, not against a vague sense of how things feel. If the goals were wrong, that is a finding too, and part four is where you fix them.

Involving the tutor

A tutor who knows a review is coming writes better session notes, so tell them at the start of term that the form exists. Most tutors welcome it; the three questions in part three are ones a good tutor is already asking themselves.

With our own placements you receive a short note after each session and a progress summary every four weeks, so part two largely fills itself. Either way, if the review shows stalled progress, say so plainly and change the plan or the tutor; the review exists to make that conversation normal.

If completing the form raises questions about what the tutor knows about your child, our guide to telling a tutor about learning needs covers the information side.
