Study Buddy is a fantastic option; where older students are helping younger students with exam preparation or particular subject area. These one on one sessions are very popular and particularly useful for college students preparing for NCEA or Cambridge exams in Maths or some other subject area.
Your child decides what they would like to focus on. Students can bring what they are working on in school, homework requirements or past exams to work on.
Your child's Study Buddy will give guidance on how to achieve better marks/grades, help with time management and clever tips and tricks as they have been there and done that!
All Thinking Caps Study Buddy’s come from local colleges or are at university, with excellent character references and exceptional individual grades. They provide a sounding board and become a mentor to students wanting to improve.
We match your child with a Study Buddy that fits their personality and individual needs.
Why our parents love our Study Buddy tutoring sessions
We have seen the benefits of our son attending the ‘in person’ tutoring sessions with his study buddy at Thinking Caps.
He has bonded with his tutor and this has helped in his sessions and understanding. A close bond is formed which benefits all and creates a positive learning environment. The results being seen in his school work and the best report received this past term.
Could not recommend more highly. Thanks.

In a short period of time, Thinking Caps has given our daughter the confidence she needed to help improve her Maths and grasp the basic foundations to help her overcome early obstacles and fear of BIG numbers. We can’t thank you enough! Kara has a totally different outlook now to Maths!
