The gap between qualifying as a teacher and feeling ready to teach is real. This diagnostic surfaces it. There's no judgement, no result page, no email capture. Just a list — for you — of what to work on.
Most online quizzes optimise for a result you'll share. This isn't that. The questions are drawn from twenty years of conversations with teachers in their first three years post-graduation. They surface gaps. They are not a test you can fail.
Each question names a real situation a working teacher meets in their first year. Three options each — Confident, Uncertain, Not yet. No long form, no story prompts, no scoring rubric. Just twelve honest reads on where you currently stand.
Your answers stay in your browser. No submission, no email field, no marketing follow-up. Close the tab and the page forgets. We don't see your responses, your training provider doesn't see them, and your future studio doesn't either. The list is yours alone.
The output is a small private list of the items you marked Uncertain or Not yet. Use it to start a learning plan, to bring honest questions to your training provider, or to choose your next continuing-education credit deliberately rather than by topic appeal.
Read each question. Pick the answer that's true today, not the one you'd like to be true. The list at the bottom updates as you go.
These are the questions you marked Uncertain or Not yet. The list updates as you answer. Nothing is stored — refresh the page and it's gone.
Take a screenshot if you want to keep it. We don't, and we won't.
When you finish, you have a small private map of where you currently stand. There's no good or bad list — every teacher in their first three years has one. The question is what you do with it.
Not all twelve at once. The one that makes you most uneasy is usually the one to take first, because the unease is data — it tells you where the gap between your training and your teaching is widest. Start there. The rest can wait a month.
Most providers offer alumni clinics, follow-up office hours, or a graduate group. Show them your list. The conversation is more valuable than the curriculum that produced it — they know your training, they know what was rushed, they know what to suggest.
Continuing professional development credits are usually picked by topic — restoratives, anatomy, philosophy. Pick by gap instead. Three of the items above are common CPD modules; the others may need a private mentor or a peer-teaching group rather than a course.
The diagnostic is a snapshot. These are the surfaces that turn the snapshot into a path.
Sample classes, contract scripts, what to charge, how to find your first studio. Practical fundamentals for the first thirty days post-graduation.
