"Free assessment" can sound like code for a sales pitch. We get why parents are wary. So here's the plain version of what a Lynn's Learning assessment actually is, what your child does, what you'll walk away with, and why there's genuinely no catch.
What is the free assessment, exactly?
The point isn't to grade your child or sell you a program. It's to find out where they actually are: where they're confident, where they hesitate, and how they work through something they haven't seen before. That's what tells us whether we can help and, if so, exactly what we'd work on.
What happens on the day?
Your child works with one educator the whole time, so they get personal attention and never feel lost in a crowd. The check is pitched to feel achievable, not intimidating. We want to see how they think, and a stressed child doesn't show us much.
Does my child need to prepare?
There's nothing to study and nothing to bring but a pencil case. Tell your child it's a quick, friendly catch-up with a teacher, not an exam. That's the honest truth of it.
Do I stay while it happens?
What do we walk away with?
Every program we design starts from this assessment. We build it around your child's actual level, fill the gaps underneath, add extension where they're ready, and align it to the Victorian and Australian curricula. It's reviewed and adjusted every term as they grow. You can read more about how it works.

How long does the assessment take?
About 30 minutes per subject, so roughly an hour if you're considering both Maths and English, plus a short one-on-one chat with you afterwards. Most families are done within the hour.
Is the assessment really free?
Yes, completely free, with no cost and no obligation to enrol. The honest recommendation at the end is the whole purpose.
What should my child bring or study beforehand?
Nothing to study, and just a pencil case to bring. Preparing actually hides the gaps we're looking for, so it's best to come as you are.
What year levels can be assessed?
We assess children from Foundation to Year 10 in Maths and English, plus Years 3 to 9 for Selective and Scholarship preparation. The program is matched to your child's ability, not their age.
