Discover Where Your Child Is Really At

Diagnostic Assessments That Identify Learning Gaps, Strengths & the Right Path Forward

Personalised Learning Starts with Understanding

Every child learns differently—and sometimes school results alone do not clearly show why a student may be struggling or where support is needed most.

At Australian Direct Tutoring, our English and Mathematics Diagnostic Assessments are designed to give families a clear understanding of their child’s current academic level, confidence, and learning gaps against the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0.

Whether your child needs support catching up, building confidence, preparing for NAPLAN, or simply needs personalised guidance, our diagnostic assessment is the best place to begin.

Why Start with a Diagnostic Assessment?

Understand Your Child’s Current Year-Level Ability

We assess your child against the Australian Curriculum to determine where they are currently performing—not just by school year, but by actual skill level.

This helps answer important questions like:

Is my child working at the expected year level?
Are there any hidden learning gaps?
Are they struggling with foundational skills?
Which areas need the most support?
What should tutoring focus on first?

Pinpoint Learning Gaps Early

Many students can appear confident in some areas while quietly struggling in others.

Our assessment helps identify gaps in:

English

Reading fluency
Reading comprehension
Spelling
Grammar & punctuation
Sentence structure
Writing
Vocabulary

Mathematics

Number & place value
Addition, subtraction, multiplication & division
Fractions & decimals
Time & measurement
Worded problem solving
Patterns & algebra

Early identification allows us to provide the right support before gaps widen.

Receive a Clear Personalised Learning Report

Following the session, families receive valuable feedback outlining:

current strengths
areas requiring support
approximate curriculum level
recommended tutoring focus areas
strategies to support learning at home

This creates a clear roadmap for progress.

Tailored to Your Child

Our assessments are designed to feel supportive—not stressful.

Our Academic Trainers work one-on-one with your child at their pace, using encouragement, guided questions, and personalised teaching.

If a student finds Year-level content too difficult, we adjust lower to identify foundations.

If a student is ready to extend, we assess higher.

This ensures the assessment is accurate, personalised, and meaningful.

Building Confidence From the Beginning

Many students feel overwhelmed when they don’t know why learning feels difficult.

A diagnostic assessment helps students:

feel understood
experience success at their level
identify what they already know
build confidence with support
feel more prepared moving forward

Confidence matters just as much as results.

Who Is This For?

Our Diagnostic Assessments are ideal for:

Students falling behind in English or Mathematics
Students needing confidence-building
NAPLAN preparation
Students changing schools or transitioning year levels
Homeschooling families
Students with learning difficulties or additional support needs
Parents wanting a clearer picture of progress
