So let’s talk about what we actually do at Global Education Testing — and more importantly, how it can help your child thrive.

We offer comprehensive Educational Psychology Assessments — specifically designed for students attending international and private schools. These are not rushed, checklist-style assessments. Every evaluation we do is bespoke, deeply thorough, and led by experienced Educational Psychologists who understand the pressures of high-achieving school environments.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

We assess for a range of learning differences — including:

• Dyslexia, which affects reading, spelling, and processing language.
• Dyscalculia, which makes maths and number-based reasoning a real challenge.
• Dysgraphia, which can affect handwriting, written expression, and working memory.
• Dyspraxia, which impacts coordination and motor planning.
• ADHD, where focus, impulse control, and executive function can be difficult.
• And also Anxiety, which can quietly undermine academic performance and confidence — especially in high-pressure schools.

Once the assessment is complete, we don’t just hand you a report and disappear.

You’ll receive a clear, detailed report that meets international standards and is recognised by schools, exam boards, and universities across the world. These reports can be used to apply for:

• Extra time in exams,
• Reader or scribe accommodations,
• Access arrangements for the IB, A-levels, GCSEs, SATs, and more,
• Or simply a better, more tailored educational experience in the classroom.

We also consult directly with your child’s school, if you’d like us to, to help interpret the findings and make sure support is actually put in place.

And the best part? You don’t need to fly anywhere.

We’ve built a fully remote testing platform, designed specifically for globally-mobile families. Whether you’re in Singapore, Dubai, Bangkok, Hong Kong, London, or even somewhere more remote — we can assess your child online in a calm, familiar home environment.

That means no waiting lists, no bureaucracy, and no compromising on quality. Just answers, actionable steps, and a team that genuinely cares.

We’ve helped hundreds of families through this process — including many who came to us after being told by their school: "We don’t see any issues..." or "They’ll grow out of it."

We know what it’s like to have that feeling in your gut — that your child is bright, but something’s being missed. And we’re here to help you uncover what that something is.

Is a School Screening Enough?

While school-based screenings for Dyslexia and ADHD can be helpful, they are often insufficient for a full diagnosis. Most school-led screenings are conducted by Teachers, who are not qualified to provide a detailed diagnosis or unlock the full range of accommodations available to a child with a learning difficulty.

Our Educational Psychologist Testing

Following our assessments, parents will receive a comprehensive diagnostic report that provides valuable insights into their child’s learning profile. This report will include any diagnosed learning disabilities, such as Dyslexia, ADHD, or Dyspraxia, and provide recommendations for accommodations in exams such as the 11+, GCSE, and university entrance exams.

We don’t just provide a diagnosis; we empower parents and educators with actionable strategies to help students succeed academically. Our assessments ensure that every child can reach their full potential, no matter what learning challenges they may face.

At Global Education Testing, we maintain strict privacy and confidentiality with every assessment we conduct. Parents have complete control over how and when their child’s results are shared, allowing families to decide what information they disclose to schools or other parties.

This approach provides peace of mind, knowing that the process is entirely private and focused solely on the student’s well-being.
