WHY HIRE A TUTOR? - Some children need individual attention. In todays over crowded classroom atmosphere, teachers will not be able

to provide this. - A tutor will prepare the child well for class tests and final exams. - Working with a tutor will help the child to develop a study schedule. - While studying, children easily get distracted with videogames, TV and other activities at home. A tutor will help

in minimising these distractions. CONTACT Tim Fragogiannis on 0403 293 665 and visit my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/onetoonetution
