Book an Appointment
with Spout Education
HOW WE BEGIN
New families start with a short introduction so we can hear about your child. After that conversation we book the assessment, and then tutoring.
1. Getting Started
15-minute introduction A quick conversation to discuss your child’s learning needs, answer your questions, and see if we’re a good fit.
2. Initial Assessment
Assessment and Plan Includes a comprehensive intake, 40 minutes of testing/observation, and a 25-minute meeting to review findings and create a personalized learning plan. A link for a follow-up meeting will be sent after this session.
3. Ongoing Tutoring
Regular tutoring sessions are available after the initial assessment.
Book Regular Tutoring Sessions Choose your preferred tutor and view their availability.
Please note: The Initial Assessment must be completed with Katia before booking ongoing tutoring sessions with either tutor.
4. Educational Consulting and Assistive Technology Support
Sometimes families need more than weekly tutoring. These services offer focused guidance on assessments, school supports, adaptations, and assistive technology, including how to use those tools in real schoolwork.
Then keep the two appointment descriptions underneath:
Educational Consulting
60-minute meeting to review assessments, IPPs, and adaptations. Includes suggestions for IPP learning outcomes and adaptations, school-meeting prep, and guidance on public, independent, or French school options. Can be added to tutoring. School team meeting attendance is booked separately.
Assistive Technology Support
Practical session to choose tools and use them on real homework: speech-to-text, text-to-speech, organizers, or tools named in a report. Please bring the report if you have one and one assignment that usually falls apart. Can be added to tutoring. Does not replace the school’s official technology plan.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
After you book
-
This is a short conversation to see if Spout Education is the right fit for your child, and to answer any questions you have. No forms are needed. Bring your questions, and a picture of how school and learning feel at home.
-
You will get a confirmation by email, with the intake and consent form attached. Please complete the forms before the first meeting. We cannot begin until they are back.
If you have a psychoeducational assessment, please include it. That helps us choose the right work for your child.
The session is about 40 minutes with your child. We look at how your child works, not only what they miss.
Please tell your child they will do some talking and some work with a teacher. It is not a test they can fail.
After the session we write an initial report and a tutoring plan. You will receive those first. Then we book a short virtual meeting to walk through them. The whole process takes about two and a half weeks.
Tutoring is booked once the assessment is done and the forms are in.
Please let us know if you have any questions about the forms.
-
We will send you a consent and intake document. Please send the report and any other documents we should see. We will use the hour on those papers and on what to ask the school.
