"[We found it helpful] that our tutor Michelle, was more than business - she was REALLY interested in our daughter, her experience at school, her progress, how she related to her teachers.
She also taught how to look at the problem from another angle or another way, until you find one that makes sense to you."

“I felt the help Anna received was invaluable and has made a positive contribution to her general development in both maturity , conscious application of concepts grasped and reflective appraisal of own work. Extremely rewarding to see and of immense worth to Anna and her self-esteem.”
Anna’s mother, January 2016
Year 12, Biology & Mathematics
“I would like to thank our tutor profusely as Anna has had a fantastic relationship with her .Both Melanie and I have observed a great step forward with regard to Anna's learning skills and overall progress. In the past Anna often floundered and did not know how to move forward as there was always something new coming up. Very frustrating for her which ate away at her confidence. Now Anna appears to enjoy her subjects and doesn't cry shy of them or skirt round them. Her tutor has helped her so much to devise a plan, system, strategy that has made a massive difference in how she approaches things and tackled the question. Hopefully this year ( 2016) we can build on this together.
I am so proud of Anna and I thank Melanie sincerely.”

“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”
