"Thank Ryan for me please. He has been a great teacher & William has enjoyed the way he relates to working out problems that he has trouble with."

“Melanie has given my daughter more confidence in her own abilities and she is more positive and engaged in her maths. I highly recommend this to anyone who feels their child needs a boost in a subject.”

Emma’s mother Karen, January 2016

"Anna was delightful! Madeline seemed relaxed with her, they appeared to be having fun whilst focusing and working hard together, so I am thrilled! There was lots of positive energy which Madeline thrives on as she is quite outgoing by nature. Thank you."

Madeline’s mother Louisa, July 2015

"I would like to thank you very much, your professional service and Jackson's tuition have been fantastic, and has really made all the difference to Edie's stress levels (rather the lack of stress) and understanding of physics, and has been a huge boost to her confidence. She actually won the Excellence in Physics cup, and although she says that this is purely because she goes to a school where there is a very small class size and very little competition in the field, I have been assured by the staff that they don't give out the prize if there is not a deserving recipient! So please pass on our thanks to Jackson, as his tuition has been behind her success. That success and confidence has also contributed very much to her overall self-esteem, which is so important at this time of life!"

“Tuition with Hamish was fantastic - thank you. Sophia said he explained things really well and was able to answer her questions. She even came back enthusiastic and explained to us how you calculate the charge of elements in the periodic table! We would like to keep the Monday sessions with him.”

"[Melanie] made her feel more confident and relaxed about biology, confirmed her knowledge and allowed her a relaxed environment in which to ask questions which were concerning her about details of the subject."

“Thank you so much for the feedback on Victoria’s tutorials. She has really enjoyed her sessions with Anna, who is just lovely and seems to be able to get the best out of Victoria.

Many thanks again for the great service you provide and the wonderful tutor we have been fortunate to have.”

"My son did not achieve in the first school topic test for physical science. After getting tuition from Melanie all his other topic tests were Merits and Excellences and his end of the year test for Year 11 was Merits and Excellences. Thank you very much Melanie. "

"Thanks so much for the progress report. I am thrilled with the progress Harry has made in this area. He seems much more confident when doing his English homework. He also can now see the benefits from this extra tuition with his results at school."

Harry’s mother Jane, May 2012

“We assessed AHeadStart and Kip McGrath. My son had a definite preference for AHeadStart as it was much more 'slick' and professional with younger tutors.”

"Mikayla absolutely adored Laura and James, they were both so amazing and helped her so much. I know they really had to work hard in getting Mikayla up to scratch and without their help she would not have been able to get through this year, so I am incredibly grateful for all their hard work and for your service that you offer!"

“Just want to pass on some great news. Ben has passed a Maths Internal with Merit!!!! This is the first Merit he has received in Maths.

So we feel very satisfied that Tuition is good for Ben. He also is very happy with James and pleased that he swapped.”

“[Tuition with AHeadStart was] Much better. Tom was having maths elsewhere but in a group. He liked one on one so that it was all about him and didn't feel like he was interrupting when he wanted to clarify something. Price was also very similar.

It was awesome, easy to organise, great tutor and flexibility. Thanks heaps.”

Tom’s mother Kim, January 2016
Year 11, Science

“Hi Melanie

Adam & Tim really connected & as far as Adam is concerned the extra tutorials were absolutely worth it & all being well the mark he receives will prove it. He doesn't think he would have felt the way he does if it wasn't for Tim. He even bought him a large bar of chocolate to say "thanks"! I presume he'll let Tim know once he receives his mark.

Thanks again.

Cheers, Ade”

“Thank you for the tuition with Julia, she was struggling with chemistry at school and her teacher suggested she drop 2 papers this year, but she was determined to complete all papers she started successfully. She did still struggle at exams but as a result of your tuition did have a better grasp.”

Julia’s father Graham, December 2015

“She has really enjoyed her time with Hamish and felt the best she had ever going into an exam, regardless of the result. That is something for her.”

“Hi Melanie,

Thank you for the progress report for our daughter Helena.

Connor is doing the most fantastic job as her tutor!

Helena has gone from failing in Chemistry to passing with Merit, and it is all down to Connor!

Last week Helena was given a letter of recognition from her school, that was awarded by her teachers, for outstanding effort in English, Mathematics with Statistics........and in Chemistry!!!!!!

We have recommended' A Head Start' to a number of parents that are looking for help with their teenagers.

The true miracle is that Helena, having grown in confidence, has decided to continue with Chemistry in Yr 13 !

Thank you, once again, for employing Connor as a tutor at 'AHeadStart'.

Kind Regards, Rachel”

"The feedback which I have received from my student has been extremely positive. He had Jason as a Maths Teacher, and I know that the one on one tution made all the difference to the confidence of my student. I would definitely recommend the agency they are easy to contact and very helpful. He will be using the services of your agency again in 2010. I am the guardian of this young man, and I know that from his comments he is extremely satisfied."

Thanks again and no doubt I will be calling on your services at some stage in the future.”
