What parents have to say about tutoring from AHeadStart.
“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”

"Thanks very much for this progress report. It is very comprehensive and much more thorough than a school report. She is performing much better than I have anticipated thanks to Molly’s support. Many thanks.
Charlotte looks forward to her sessions and was extremely pleased with her test result. The ability to go over the questions she found difficult was most worthwhile to her."

"Eva just texted with her physics result. One mark off excellence, and half the class failed. I am so relieved that we have Max on board. He is fabulous. [Eva] was one of the few pupils who had even seen some important model thing, and this was only because Max had gone through it with her. Thank goodness for Max!"

“I can't thank Joe enough for all he has done with George! We are happy to see that he has regained his confidence with Joe's help. I am sure it has not been easy to get a 9 year old to want to do an hour’s maths work after school but he has done an amazing job at making it fun and interesting. I am sure George will miss seeing him on Thursdays.”

“[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.”

“Mae has found Emma to be an excellent tutor. She was punctual, knowledgeable and friendly. Mae said she could always answer her questions and was an informative teacher. Her exact words were "she knew heaps about chemistry!"
Please pass on our thanks to Emma.”

“The tuition helped Ellen pass all the Chemistry Papers at Level 3 that she sat. She learnt to understand the chemistry concepts that were proving difficult for her. [She enjoyed the] one on one time to fully understand the chemistry that she wasn't grasping in a full classroom situation and the opportunity to have her questions answered in a manner that she understood. She improved her results from the mock exams until the final exams.”
