A simpler first paid step before committing to lessons
A diagnostic review is for families who want more than a free enquiry, but are not ready to buy a full lesson package. We use the student profile, recent work and exam timeline to recommend a realistic next step.
Best for uncertain families
Useful when parents are unsure whether the student needs tutoring, mock marking, planning or independent revision.
Evidence-led
The review works best with a recent mock, topic test, writing sample, school feedback or clear description of the problem.
Low management
The scope is narrow: review the evidence, identify priorities, then recommend the next service or no paid package yet.
Clear conversion path
If lessons are appropriate, the review can become a tutoring plan, revision sprint or small group fit check.
What the diagnostic should answer
The output should help the family make a decision, not create another vague conversation.
| Question | Useful answer |
|---|---|
| What is the main academic issue? | Topic gap, weak method, exam technique, writing structure, time management or unclear exam route. |
| Does the student need lessons? | Not yet, short revision support, mock marking, planning, one-to-one lessons or small group if suitable. |
| What should happen first? | A small action the family can understand before paying for a larger package. |
| What evidence is still missing? | Mock paper, school comments, writing sample, exam board, expected exam session or availability. |
