Parent Testimonials

"Angus has received good results with AHeadStart and we as parents have really appreciated Melanie coming to his school for the tuition."

Angus’ mother Bridget, December 2009
Year 10 Mathematics & Science

“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.”
