What parents have to say about tutoring from AHeadStart.
“We are very happy with Claudia’s lessons and that her test results in class have improved considerably, with her end of year report and conversations with her science teacher supporting her growth in this subject. Claudia’s confidence has grown heaps!
Claudia is a quiet student who struggles to ask for help when she needs it, so the one on one lessons have been amazing for her. Marwah is fantastic and Claudia just loves her, which makes her lessons a delight rather than a chore.
Thank you for our short time with you last year and we really look forward to 2014 with AHeadStart.”

"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!"
Mikayla’s mother Leeann, November 2014

“Maths and English were two topics she greatly struggled with. By the end of Level 1 and Level 2 she was achieving in ways that not only shocked us but also her teachers. The improvement was mind blowing.
In Maths it was all new work to her and she did not understand it at all, her tutor was honestly the best tutor we had ever met, he not only taught her skills to understand Maths but he got her from basic maths to achieving mainly merits throughout the two years. For English her first internal she went from getting achieved to suddenly getting excellences for every internal she ever did. And passed all of her exams.”

"Just wanted to say a big thank you to Laura for all her help with Ashleigh. She has finished all her English assignments and achieved with Merit. Ashleigh is thrilled as she was convinced she would fail English this year."

“Hello Melanie,
Thanks to you & Amelia for all your help with Neve. Her Chemistry & Physics have improved dramatically! Neve walked into the exam on Monday with confidence and is proud of her achievements and hard work. She really enjoyed going to tutoring with Amelia as she made it easy to understand and helped build her confidence in the subject.
Neve's looking at Year 12 Biology next year so will be keen to continue with AHeadStart in the new year.
Thanks again.
Cheers Shirene :)”

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

“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”

“We wanted to let you know how much Olivia has enjoyed her tuition. Amelia has been a great match for her. Olivia has improved a lot over the time Amelia has tutored her to the point where her teacher at school has commented. Also she has made a significant improvement in her end of year maths tests and has gone up a stanine.
We really hope that Olivia can continue her tutoring with Amelia next year.”
