Over fourteen years of tutoring, Colette has helped many children of all ages feel more comfortable with and have a better understanding of maths, at most levels of the curriculum (up to Year 10). This has resulted in many wonderful endorsements and personal testimonials.
Below are a few, randomly picked comments from the many hundreds received over the years.
The games make the maths really easy. I think we are just playing but I keep getting better marks in class!

These classes fly by! Where does the time go?

Thank you for helping me lose my fear of maths. When I don’t understand something in class, I think about how you would show me the maths and then I can do it.
Student.
It’s good to get time to think things through because that helps me understand what is happening.

I used to think I was bad at maths but now maths is my best subject!

Thank you for all your help leading up to my 11+. Maths is a subject I am no longer afraid of.

Dear Colette, Thank you for the great maths games this week. It was super fun.

Many, many thanks for your support and friendship over the past 8 years. You made life so much easier for both of us and eased the burden greatly.

I can’t thank you enough for the positive impact you have had during what has been a very difficult year. You have given her confidence and space to time out and learn maths in a way that suits her.

We had the parent/teacher meeting today and the teacher is now happy with her maths. The Deputy is back from a course which highlighted that the rote learning of tables doesn’t work so they will be bringing deeper meaning to them in class!
Parent.
Her brain seems to have just clicked for lots of things: thank you.
Parent.
She loves Maths now: that really is the best present.
