“Grace came out buzzing from her first session with Kyle, the 1-1 format really works for her and she was very happy. She walked in the door and went straight to her room to start some of her homework for the week!! So we are very happy thank you. I think this is going to be really beneficial for her so thanks again :-)”

“We tried Numberworks when the children were younger. I think the total one on one AHeadStart tutoring was better for our Catherine.”

“Through tuition, I learned study techniques that worked for me. Before tuition, I was struggling with my studies (maths in particular) but after I started receiving tuition, merit and excellence grades became regular occurrences!”

“For both Level 1 and Level 2 I received for English in both years Merit Endorsements which I am thrilled about and it is all thanks to AHeadStart and their amazing tutoring service as I know there is no way I could of achieved what I wanted to achieve without their help, encouragement and skills to learn what was expected of me. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of tutoring, they truly help you succeed in the topics you need help with.”

"You have summed Georgia up well [in the progress report] and I am delighted with her progress with you - there is certainly a real difference between her school work and the work that you are doing with her and this has meant her ability to achieve good grades that she sets herself is now very achievable.

Thank you for your tutoring of her - she obviously benefits from her one on one sessions with you."

"Having the tuition mainly in physics allowed me to gain a much deeper and clearer understanding of the subject. Having Mel helping me through papers and questions enabled me to gain more confidence and feel prepared going into the exam."

"Melanie had exactly the right approach to engage Elsie about Maths. We all enjoyed Wednesday nights - and Elsie made real progress. Her confidence and enjoyment of the subject improved and she got improved test results - having struggled to "get" maths all the way through High School."

“Had found Kip McGrath OK when children were younger, but not the specialists available for years 12 and 13 in science.”

"Wow, that is really great! Jackson certainly seems to have the gift of being able to get the information across so that the pupil understands. It's all very well knowing something, but teaching it effectively to others is quite another thing.

Edie will be cross with me for telling you about the prize, but I thought that you'd both like to hear that your services were working very effectively!! For Edie physics has gone from being something of a mystery, to very interesting things which apply to all aspects of life and the world around her. She was accepted into Fine Arts at Canterbury yesterday, which she is thrilled about, as are we, as it sees her being in an environment where she will continue to grow and to learn, and to keep on loving learning! (And physics will be very useful applied to sculpture!)"

“Thanks so much Melanie for everything you have done for Georgia this year. Hoping that Georgia can continue her tutoring with you if you are available next year.”
