Level check
Know where your child stands, strand by strand.
They join mid-year, change schools, or you simply want a clear picture. A round of 10 to 15 minutes per subject, and the app knows where to start.
For the child
A "Discovery round", like any other round.
- The fox invites them to play, in the app they already know. Series of 5 to 10 questions, with the same games as usual.
- During the level check, no "well done" and no "almost": just "next". They answer without pressure, and their answers really show where they stand.
- At the end of each series, a small celebration and experience points for the effort.
- About 10 to 15 minutes per subject. They can stop and pick it up later; what is done counts.
- Questions are read aloud when they tap the speaker, except when the question is about reading itself.
"Show me what you already know!"
For you
A clear picture, and what the app does with it.
-
A level for each strand
Numbers, geometry, reading, spelling… Each strand is placed in plain words, "mid Grade 3", and marked to strengthen, at level, or ahead.
-
A starting point
The app starts the Map in the right place, subject by subject, instead of going back to the start of the year.
-
Review only where it’s needed
Skills from earlier grades come back only where the level check showed a need, never for everyone.
-
A report to keep
Strengths, what to work on and what comes next, as a PDF, in English or French. Share it with their teacher or tutor if you like.

How the level check adapts
No fixed list of questions. Each answer helps pick the next one, so it asks as few as possible.
-
It starts in the right place
The level check begins a little below the level expected for the time of year, so the child starts with confidence.
-
It follows the child
A success, and the next question steps up. A miss, and it steps back down.
-
It stops when it’s sure
For each strand, it stops as soon as the estimate is firm, or after 8 questions. About 40 questions at most per subject.
-
It covers a wide range
Up to three grades earlier and one grade further. "Ahead" is noted, but a child never changes grade without an adult’s say.
Who it’s for
Families
- Included in every family plan.
- Offered after the tablet is paired, and recommended if your child joins after October.
- Run it again whenever you like, from your parent space. Earlier level checks stay in the history.
Tutors and centres
- Order a level check for a new learner before the first session.
- The report arrives in your space, with what they already master and where they get stuck.
- Each level check is visible only to the adults the family has given access to.
Schools
- At the start of the year, or for a student who arrives mid-year.
- A whole class on the class tablet: each student picks their name in "Who’s playing?" and plays their own round.
- A strand-by-strand picture for each student, with no public ranking or comparison.
A child’s data, treated as such
- Answers are graded on the device; no typed text leaves the tablet.
- Only adults with access to the child’s profile see their level check.
- No external artificial intelligence, no sharing outside TutoLys.
- The level check is part of the data export and deleted with the profile.
Questions about the level check
Does my child get a grade?
No. The level check gives no mark and no percentage. It places each strand in plain words and is used to choose where the app starts.
Which subjects?
Math and French first, grades 1 to 6. Other subjects will follow.
What if they have a bad day?
The estimates are a starting point. As soon as they play their real lessons, what they succeed at quickly replaces the level check. You can also run it again whenever you like.
What if they’re ahead?
It’s noted in the report. The app doesn’t move them up a grade without an adult’s say.
Does it replace the school report card?
No. The level check helps TutoLys start well. School assessment stays with the school.
Start in the right place
Families find the level check in their parent space. Tutors, centres and schools order it for their learners.
