What parents have to say about tutoring from AHeadStart.
“She learned that physics is fun! She learned that it is really easy to understand when she knows the language and has more confidence in her own abilities. Her marks improved markedly and she ended up receiving the Cathedral College Physics Cup for Year 13. Her teacher had always had a lot of confidence in her ability to understand physics, but Edie was almost holding herself back by thinking she wasn't capable.”

George is really enjoying maths now and recently got the top score in his class maths test and has been asked to join a maths extension group at school! We are certain this is all thanks to Sean. He really looks forward to his tutorials with Sean each week which is great!”

“I have to say that Jeremy was not only a fabulous tutor but also a good role model for an impressionable 12 year old boy! He now wants to go to University to do a mechanical or electrical engineering degree majoring in robotics!!
Thanks again and no doubt I will be calling on your services at some stage in the future.”

“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.”

“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”

“Hi Melanie,
Just thought I would let you know Ryan’s results for NCEA. Ryan was endorsed overall in Merit. He got individual subject endorsements as well. He passed every external which was amazing considering he was so sick! So proud of him.
With the subjects Hayden helped Ryan in I couldn’t believe he got a Merit in Mechanics because he failed his practice exam and he had found the subject difficult.
Maths Excellence in Chance and Data and the rest Merits.
Thank you to Hayden for all his hard work. Would highly recommend him as a tutor. Thank you to you also, you are amazing.
Thanking you and Hayden,
Kerrie and Ryan.”

“Hi Melanie
Harry said the tutorial with Hayden was really really good. He said Hayden is was clear and kept moving (didn't waste time on stuff Harry knew) but made sure he understood before moving on.
Thanks so much Melanie - I felt the stress draining away after Harry told me the above about Hayden. It makes such a huge difference when I can be confident Harry has such great help to pass his exams. I am so impressed with how you run AHeadStart, so organised and on to it. I hope you are getting lots of students - I certainly have told quite a few people now.
Thanks and kind regards
Judith.”

“I'd like to say a very big thank you to both Ashleigh and Hugh for the support that they have shown Megan through this year. They have been wonderful and a huge help.
It has been a very tough year for Megan, far worse than we could ever have imagined, but she seems to have pulled through. They were both very understanding and accommodating to the way Te Kura set out their lessons etc. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!”

“Our daughter was home schooled and when she decided that she would like to do the qualifications that her friends were doing at school, we soon realized how behind she was, that was the reason I looked into a tutoring service.
