 Level
Adjustment
During a Trial lesson, there are 2 opportunities to
Level Adjust:

● 1st - “while” conducting the Trial lesson

● 2nd - “after” the Trial lesson is finished via pop-up

window with guided level adjustment prompts

Note: There is a 3rd opportunity to Level Adjust up or

down again at the 1st regular lesson. Often students
don’t show full potential at Trial, or Regular Lesson
material may be too difficult.
There are 2 reasons to level adjust at Trial Lesson:

● Consider Leveling Down - If the student struggles,

is very slow to understand and follow instruction or
cannot do most of the tasks “independently” after
teacher has modelled first.

● Consider Leveling Up - If the student is quick to

understand and follow instructions and can do most
or ALL of the tasks independently “after or without”
modelling from the teacher.
