“I am very happy with how the sessions are going. Avalon was sitting on a D to C and just  received a B- in Math! Her teacher marked improvement with both maths and confidence. Our Academic Personal Trainer, Andrew, takes the time to discuss and draw out of Avalon what she understands and also struggles with. He is very patient and takes time to repeat things. She loves how he gets her to repeat back what he is teaching her to ensure she understands, as she normally is too shy to say. He has great communication skills and he somehow gets through to her as she is difficult to read. All round a lovely young man.”

“Everyone comments on her confidence.”

“Cecelia has never passed English before so we’re really celebrating this C.  The teacher said that she’s on course for a B this term and everyone, her teacher, her teacher’s aide and her reading group leader – they’ve all said she’s far more confident, putting her opinion out there, and finally feeling brave enough to read out loud.  This has been a big celebration in our house.”

“Our APT has improved Jasmine’s confidence, motivation, grades and so much more! They have developed such a strong bond and get along so good. Our APT has helped Jasmine develop the ability to study on her own and how to set up a dedicated study space and even recently helped her get a 95% on her Science test.

 Whenever I remind her to come straight home for her sessions she responds with an excited ‘Awesome!’ that isn’t sarcastic. We are really happy!”

“Jasiel was very apprehensive initially, our APT encouraged Jasiel to speak about her math concerns and Jasiel soon felt a level of trust. The way our APT explained the concepts and encouraged Jasiel to participate was great and received by her very quickly. Our APT has a great approach, very warm, friendly and funny. He spoke about his love for math and his current studies which Jasiel was quite impressed with. I can see why you mainly use University students.

Jasiel is actually looking forward to ongoing sessions with her APT, he gave her such a boost to her confidence which has been so low, he didn’t question her lack of understanding or belittle her, he was so encouraging and supportive. He gave her tips, let her know what to put in her math workbook when she has her exam next week – a few “don’t forget” points. He was brilliant. After what I saw last night, I’m looking forward to seeing the end result in her overall school, study, motivation and confidence.”

Their unique approach to helping students feel confident in their preparation for exams, assessments and increasing their literacy and numeracy skills, sets them up for success, no matter their hesitations. It is so important, especially within this generation, to find ways to keep students engaged in the learning process.

“Hayley has been having wonderful sessions with her Academic Personal Trainer Mia and she is extremely happy to have her as her tutor and mentor. Haley has been very positive and very motivated and definitely feels lucky to have found Mia to help her!”

“Before Belle’s first tutoring session she was a little anxious and kept asking me “what will I ask her?”….”what will she do?”.  After their first session, Belle is upbeat, positive, calmer and feels Jessica is a perfect match for her saying, “she’s just like me”. Thank you so much for making the effort to match Academic Personal Trainers based on personalities; it makes all the difference.”

“Bill received his math exam result yesterday and he received an A!!!! He is over the moon and we are so thrilled for him.  His APT, Jordan, did a fantastic job working with him and his teacher to prepare him for his exam.”

“My daughter’s Academic Personal Trainer, Mitch, has not just supported my daughter towards improving her results. He has also allowed her to take ownership of her own learning, and given her the strategies to become a self directed and independent learner. She looks forward to her weekly tutoring sessions and always has a feeling of productivity and achievement at the conclusion of the session. The APT feedback is also timely and relevant every single session. Thank you Mitch and A Team Tuition!”

“My son described his first session with his Academic Personal Trainer, Eric, as “awesome”! He was on such a high afterwards. He was thrilled with the way Eric explained a maths concept advising that he taught him in a way that he really understood and my son is really excited about plans they have made together for his English. After the session with Eric, he continued to consolidate what he had learnt in prep and then was returning to study more that night on geography. Doug and I were so happy to hear all of this. Thank you so much. Sounds like we are off to a great start!”
