This checklist helps you look back on your paid trial lesson and decide what to do next. It suits students who felt unsure after the trial, and parents who want a calm way to judge it.

After-trial reflection checklist
You have finished a trial lesson and you are not sure what to think or do next.
Everything you enter stays on this device.
How do I use it?
- Answer the learning questions with yes, partly or no. Skip any you cannot judge.
- Write the topics or questions you want to work on.
- Tick the arrangements you want to settle, such as lesson length or timing.
- Enter an hourly figure only if you want to note one to confirm. Otherwise leave it empty.
- Press the button to see your summary and an editable follow-up message.
How does it work?
The summary sorts your answers into what seemed to go well, what was partly there, what did not go well and what you did not answer. Your topics and your ticked arrangement questions appear in separate sections.
The two parts stay apart on purpose. Learning observations describe the lesson. Fees, timing and arrangements are agreed between you and the teacher, so they are points to settle and not scores.
If you type an hourly figure, the tool treats it as a note for you to confirm with the teacher. Negative or non-numeric values are rejected.
What does an example look like?
This is a worked example. A student answers yes to “I got to try a question myself” and partly to “I could explain one idea back in my own words”. She writes the topic “factorising quadratics” and ticks the questions about lesson length and timing. She leaves the hourly figure empty.
The summary lists the first answer under went well and the second under partly there. It shows the topic, then the two arrangement questions, and a message she can edit.
What can this tool not do?
It cannot tell you whether to continue, and the decision is yours. If the teacher does not feel like a good fit, you can ask for another teacher. It also cannot judge the teaching for you, and your notes are your own view.
How does it connect to the rest of the site?
The guide on what to do after a trial lesson walks through the choice. Parents can use what to review yourself after a paid trial and how to judge whether a trial lesson was useful. The page on what happens after the trial explains how arrangements are agreed.
Subject pages such as Mathematics tuition and English tuition describe what one-to-one lessons cover. If you have not had a trial yet, read about the one-hour trial class (from RM50).
Common questions
Does ticking a box enrol me or start a payment?
No. The boxes only build your own notes. Nothing on this page enrols you, takes a payment or starts lessons, and you decide what to do after reading your checklist.
Why is the hourly figure field empty?
The field has no default, because the fee depends on the teacher and is agreed with them before the trial. The trial is charged at that teacher's normal hourly rate. Enter a figure only if you want to note one to confirm.
Why are learning observations and arrangements separate?
A lesson can teach well and still be hard to schedule, or the other way round. Keeping the two apart lets you judge the teaching on what happened, and judge fees and timing as a separate conversation.
Is my reflection stored or sent anywhere?
No. Your answers stay on this page in your browser. The follow-up message is sent only if you press the WhatsApp button and send it yourself.
If the trial left you unsure, a clear look at what the teacher explained and how you responded helps you decide. Keep your notes, and if the teacher is not the right fit, you can ask for another one.
- Online one-to-one lessons for your child with an experienced teacher.
