“Ben was nervous initially. Afterwards he said it was really good and he felt relieved and a little bit excited that he finally understood it.”

“Tuition with Hamish was fantastic - thank you. Sophia said he explained things really well and was able to answer her questions. She even came back enthusiastic and explained to us how you calculate the charge of elements in the periodic table! We would like to keep the Monday sessions with him.”

"Anyway, thanks again. And to Hannah and John, they really were excellent tutors for Monica. Perfect match in both cases. Both very fine young people.

I think one of the advantages I hadn't considered when thinking about whether to go with more traditional 'crusty old schoolteacher' tutors or young uni students was the role model aspect. and I think it’s great for Monny to see young people, only a couple of years older than she is who are doing really well at uni, studying hard, but still very cool.

Needless to say, we are very big fans of yours now and recommend you to everyone. We have our fingers crossed for NCEA, but know that without John and Hannah she was really facing a huge challenge to get through maths and chemistry."

“The one on one in a comfortable and familiar environment really helped as did getting to know the tutor and his style/interaction. Also, being able to ask questions and go at a pace that kept information front of mind assisted overall learning.
His English grades improved in essay writing (personal responses) from an achieved to a merit. Overall he received a merit endorsement for this subject when he was nervous at the beginning of the year he may not be successful or only just achieve. This has increased his confidence with this important subject!”

In her NCEA Lvl 1 externals she got 2 merits and 1 excellence. Joe was amazing and in 10 weeks she learnt more than a whole year in the class room.

Her maths was always good but needed help with the end of year subject. She achieved Merits and got Maths Lvl 1 endorsed in Merit."

He is the perfect tutor – turns up on time, is polite, focused, friendly to Josh and does a great job of teaching.
