Every child is assessed before beginning lessons at The Literacy Clinic NZ. The Initial Assessment process also includes a series of questionnaires for parents to complete which provide context for the child’s learning needs.
The Initial Assessment
An initial assessment provides The Literacy Clinic NZ with relevant information about your child’s learning. It is NOT A DIAGNOSIS of any particular condition.
TLCNZ uses the assessment information to:
discuss the child’s needs with the caregiver
plan bespoke lessons
select the best specialist teacher for your child
The Assessment includes checking:
phonological awareness (description)
phonemic awareness
decoding and encoding skills
Additional assessments may be required depending on the reasons for support being sought e.g; a reading assessment. The fee for your child’s initial assessment is NZ$115 (incl GST).
Tuition Costs
Tuition is provided at a standard rate of NZ$115 (incl GST) per student per hour.
Tuition is normally 30 minutes in duration once per week but can be for 45 or 60 minutes once or twice a week depending on each child’s individual needs.
TLCNZ tuition practice follows the New Zealand Primary-School-year date-guidelines. Typically, this involves 35 lessons a year.
Fees must be paid in advance at the commencement of each Term.
Lesson Structure
TLCNZ is committed to one-to-one, individual tuition for your child. Tuition is face-to-face, in-person, at the TLCNZ Studio in Katikati or online using the Zoom platform.
