AHEADSTART RESPONSE TO COVID-19
AHeadstart Tutoring is still operating, with all tutorials are occuring online. We will update you when this changes.
On Saturday, 21st March the Prime Minister announced a four-level Covid-19 Alert system for New Zealand. A list of the four Alert levels can be found on the government’s website here: COVID-19 Alert Levels
As of midnight, Wednesday, 25th March New Zealand is currently in Alert Level 4.
In summary AHeadStart’s planned response is:
- Alert Level 2 - tutoring will continue in person where possible, either at the University of Canterbury (until we are updated to the contrary), a student’s home, an alternative venue proposed by the student, or online via Skype or Zoom.
- Alert Level 3 – tutoring will continue online via Skype or Zoom.
- Alert Level 4 – tutoring will continue online. Tutoring is avilable both during the school term and during the holidays.
We feel that with our ability to continue assisting students online, while they start distance learning online, means it is appropriate for us to remain operating.
Our aim is to assist students at all times, but especially at this time of crisis when students may find they need even more academic while they are unable to access assistance from their teachers in the usual way.
Please, keep safe!
Melanie and the AHeadStart team.
Tuition from AHeadStart provides students with the tools to achieve their best, no matter what level they are at.
Starting from five tutors in 2009, AHeadStart now has more than 50 tutors in Christchurch. Over 2,000 students have so far benefitted from our tuition. So many have gone on to achieve degrees they would never have believed possible while at school. Tuition with AHeadStart has opened their minds to the possibilities, altered their dreams for the better and ultimately changed their lives.
I will personally guide each student through the start of their tutoring journey, and make sure they have the best tutor to suit their needs. I give you my personal guarantee."

TUITION FOR ALL LEVELS

PRIMARY STUDENTS
Your child may require help to catch up in reading, writing or maths, gain confidence and build a strong foundation.
Or they may want extension in their favourite subject, or one not covered much at primary school, such as science or coding.
Whatever your child's goals, our primary school tutors will guide your child through every tutorial through regular assessment and lots of encouragement!
More About Primary Tuition >
SECONDARY STUDENTS
Secondary school can be a stressful time for students, especially with regular NCEA assessments throughout the year. Fitting study in around sports and other extracurricular activities can also be challenging.
Whether a student wants to gain enough credits to pass the year, or is aiming for a Merit or Excellence endorsement, our tutors can assist to make that goal a reality. And of course we can also help with Cambridge and International Baccalaureate.
ADULT STUDENTS
As an adult student it can often be difficult getting back into study, as it may have been years since you opened a text book. You may also be tacking an unfamiliar subject such as mathematics or science.
On top of this you may be studying part time or extramurally, so it may a challenge to fit study around your daily life. Our tutors can help you streamline the learning process, so you can get through your studies with confidence!
MULTIPLE SUBJECTS
Our tutors can assist students with many subjects in each tutorial
- AHeadStart can assist students with 30 different subjects - Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Science and Accounting tutoring, are just a small selection.
- Most AHeadStart tutors have strengths in multiple NCEA, Cambridge and International Baccalaureate® (IB) subjects, even including subjects as diverse as English, Mathematics & Science!
- Flexibility of tutorial structure means students can choose which subjects the cover in a lesson. This means tutors can prepare students as best as possible before each school assessment.
- Students benefit by having one tutor to cover several subjects and make the most out of every tutorial.
