Assessment
Student assessment in Bali
A structured look at where your child stands in their schoolwork now: curriculum-aligned tasks, a written report on strengths and gaps, and clear next steps before you commit to a longer programme.
What a student assessment is
A student assessment is a structured, one-to-one reading of where your child stands in their schoolwork right now. An experienced tutor works through reading, writing, number or subject-specific tasks matched to your child’s curriculum, watches how they approach problems, and records what is secure, what is shaky and what is missing.
The output is a written report: strengths, gaps and practical next steps, mapped against the curriculum your child’s school actually teaches. It is the document a good tutoring programme is built on, and many families commission one before deciding whether tutoring is needed at all.
When an assessment helps most
Commission one when the picture is unclear. A child who has moved schools or curricula mid-year and seems unsettled. A report card that says “meeting expectations” while homework says otherwise. A parent new to Bali who does not yet know how the new school’s expectations compare with the old one.
It also helps before a big decision: entering an exam year, changing curriculum, or starting a long tutoring programme. If you already know exactly what your child needs, you may not need an assessment; tell us the brief and we will say so honestly.
What the assessment covers
- Curriculum-aligned tasks in the relevant subjects, at your child’s year level
- Working methods: how your child plans, starts, organises and finishes tasks
- Reading, writing and number foundations where relevant
- Confidence, attention and approach to difficult work, observed rather than tested
- A written report with strengths, gaps and recommended next steps
How the assessment works
It begins with a short conversation with you about the concern and the school context. The assessment itself takes place at your home or villa, in one or two sessions depending on age and scope, at a pace your child can manage. It is not an exam, and your child cannot fail it.
Afterwards we write the report and talk you through it. If tutoring is recommended, we propose a tutor profile and a plan; if it is not, the report tells you what to watch and what to ask the school. Either way, you keep the report.
What the assessment is not
It is not a clinical diagnosis. We are tutors, not clinicians: we do not diagnose or treat conditions such as ADHD or dyslexia, and nothing in the report should be read as a medical or psychological finding. Where the picture suggests a clinical question, we say so and suggest you speak to a qualified specialist.
It is also not a guarantee of any outcome. It is an honest, professional reading of where your child stands, written down so that decisions rest on evidence rather than worry.

Frequently asked questions
Is the assessment a clinical diagnosis?
It is an educational assessment by an experienced tutor, with a written report on strengths, gaps and next steps. We do not diagnose or treat; clinical questions go to qualified specialists.
How long does it take?
One or two sessions at your home or villa, depending on age and scope, followed by a written report and a conversation with you.
What does it cost?
Standard assessments run from IDR 1,500,000 to IDR 2,000,000, specialist from IDR 2,000,000 to IDR 2,500,000, and reassessments from IDR 1,000,000 to IDR 1,500,000. Every assessment is quoted in writing before booking. Ongoing tutoring rates sit on the pricing guide.
Do we have to continue with tutoring afterwards?
The report is yours either way. If tutoring is recommended and you would like to proceed, we propose a tutor profile and confirm rates in writing.
What should we bring to the assessment?
Recent school reports, current topic lists, and any learning notes you already have. A quiet workspace and the usual school materials are enough for most sessions at your home or villa.
When is assessment more useful than starting sessions immediately?
When several subjects are slipping, the curriculum has just changed, or school comments conflict. Catch-up without a map wastes hours; for clearer single-subject gaps you may prefer to go straight to tutoring after a discovery call. Context on catch-up sits on child falling behind.
How does assessment relate to SEN support?
The report can inform a learning-support brief, but it is not a clinical diagnosis. Where SEN-aware tutoring is the next step, see SEN tutoring; we remain tutors, not clinicians.
