A free learning needs assessment

Find the right support
for your child.

Your free assessment is a 30-minute conversation with Aidan about what’s difficult, what you’ve tried and what could help. You don’t need to choose a service beforehand.

  • 01
    Start with what you are noticing.

    What feels difficult? What has helped? What does your child want?

  • 02
    Ask the practical questions.

    Ask about learning needs, educator fit, schedule, location and cost. You can talk through the options before deciding.

  • 03
    Leave with a clearer next step.

    Leave with a recommended next step. If Plato+ is a fit, we propose an educator, written plan and time, usually within seven days. We tell you if matching will take longer.

You even went above and beyond to teach us lessons and skills that we could use outside of Biology. You were also a great mentor who helped out everyone you could.

After the assessment

A person to meet. A place to begin.

Meet the proposed educator

Meet your proposed educator before starting and ask how they would work with your child. We consider subject expertise, learning needs and personal fit.

Start with a useful priority

The first 60-minute session gives your child and educator time to get to know each other and begin the priorities in the written plan. Meet at home on the Peninsula or online.

See what they worked on

A short note after each session shows the work and next steps.

If the first session isn’t a fit, you don’t pay. How much does it cost?

Before we talk

How much does it cost?

Sessions are 60 minutes: $200 in your home, $175 online, for subject tutoring, executive functioning coaching and SAT/ACT prep. You're billed weekly for the sessions you've had, no contract. Move or cancel with 24 hours' notice at no charge. If the first session isn't a fit, you don't pay for it.

What if the match isn't right?

We’ll keep matching at no charge until it fits. Your learning plan carries over.

Can we combine tutoring and EF coaching?

Yes. Tutoring helps with the subject; coaching helps your child plan, start and follow through. Educators can coordinate around one written plan, with separate sessions at the same in-home or online rate.

What if I can't find a suitable assessment time?

Use the form or text (650) 556-5995. Aidan usually replies the same day.
