Spelling Tests for Tutors

What Parents Are Actually Paying to See

A tutoring session is billed by the hour, and a parent wants proof it's working — not a verbal "she's doing great," but a real score, on a real test, they can look at between sessions. Most tutors are stuck choosing between two bad options: eat five minutes of paid time reading words aloud and marking a sheet by hand, or skip testing altogether and rely on impressions.

Ezergrade™ is built to close that gap. Set up a word list once, run a real graded spelling test with a student in whatever way fits the session, and get an automatic score with zero grading time — plus a growing record a parent can see without you writing a summary email every week.

One Word List, However the Session Runs

Tutoring sessions vary — in person one week, a video call the next, a younger student who still needs paper. From a single word list, Ezergrade delivers the same test the way that session actually needs, with no re-typing:

• Class test, in the room. Ezergrade's audio dictation reads each word aloud on your schedule — you watch the student type in real time instead of reading from a list and writing down what you hear. Your hands are free to actually watch how the student works, not just what they hand in at the end.
• Self-paced. The student plays each word themselves and answers when ready — useful for a student who needs to hear a word more than once, without holding up the session or making you repeat yourself.
• At-Home Practice — assigned, done at home, still graded. Set a short list between sessions and a due date; the student completes it on their own device with Honest Input™ on, so it's a real graded score you both walk into next session already knowing. This is what closes the gap between weekly sessions — you're not starting from zero each time.
• Paper. For a student not ready to type, read the words aloud as you always have, then photograph the answer sheet — Ezergrade grades it into the same record, no manual marking, and confident matches are graded automatically while anything unclear is flagged for you to check.

Every mode lands in the same record, so a paper check-in in week one and a class test in week six sit side by side. See the full workflow on the How It Works page.

Video-Call Tutoring Doesn't Have to Mean No Testing

A lot of tutoring now happens over video call, where a spelling test used to mean asking the student to write on paper and hold it up to the camera — hard to read, and impossible to grade properly afterward. Because students join Ezergrade from any browser with a code, a class test runs the same way over video call as it does in person: you control word playback, the student types where you can both see it, and the score is ready the moment the last word is answered.

The same checks that make an in-person test trustworthy carry over to remote sessions — Honest Input™ blocks autocorrect and spellcheck on the student's device, and you see each answer appear as they type it, not after the fact.

Built for One Student at a Time — or a Whole Center

Whether it's one-on-one tutoring or a small tutoring center with several students, Ezergrade scales down cleanly instead of forcing classroom-sized setup for a single student:

• A class can be one student. There's no minimum class size — set up a single student and start testing right away.
• Word Generator. Describe what you need in plain language — "15 words with silent letters for grade 4" — and Ezergrade builds the list from a curated word database, or type your own list directly.
• No student logins. The student joins with a code — no account for you to set up or a parent to manage.
• Tutoring centers with several tutors get the same per-class organization as a school — each tutor keeps their own login, with every student and every result visible in one place.

A Progress Record That Builds Itself

The record parents actually want is a trend across weeks, not a single score. Ezergrade stores every result automatically — student name and number, the word list, the date, the way the test was taken, each word answered right or wrong, and the overall score — without you writing any of it down.

That means the question every parent eventually asks — "is this actually working?" — has an answer sitting there already, built from real tests instead of your memory of how the last few sessions went. And because it costs you nothing to keep, it's just as useful for your own records if a parent asks why you're recommending a change in focus.

Results export to CSV — one row per test with the score, percentage, and every word-answer pair — ready to attach to a parent update or keep for your own records.

Honest Input™ — So a Score Means What It Says

Once a spelling test happens on a student's own device — especially for At-Home Practice between sessions — autocorrect and spellcheck can quietly fix a misspelling before it's ever submitted, and a parent checking in on progress ends up seeing scores that reflect the phone, not the child. Honest Input™ disables autocorrect, autocomplete, autocapitalize, and spellcheck on every answer field, in every way to test, so the score you hand a parent reflects what the student actually spelled — not what their device quietly fixed for them.

Who It's For

• Independent tutors who want a real graded test they can run inside a paid session without losing time to hand-grading.
• Tutoring centers running several tutors and students who need one place to see every student's results.
• Tutors reporting to parents who want a record that already exists when the question "how's she doing?" comes up, instead of building one from memory.

Ezergrade is built for Grades 1–8 core, with optional early phonics support for Kindergarten through teacher-led audio dictation and paper mode.
