There have been a number of studies and meta analysis that focused on the effectiveness of one-to-one tuition. Some of these studies include:

1. Professor Benjamin Bloom, who examined the impact of one-to-one tutoring on students' academic achievement. The study concluded that students who received individualised tutoring outperformed 98% of their peers who did not receive such tutoring.

2. Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), an independent charity in the UK that funds education research and evaluates the impact of educational interventions. They have conducted numerous randomised controlled trials on one-to-one tutoring, which have consistently shown positive effects on academic attainment.

3. Meta-analyses combine and analyse data from multiple studies to derive broader conclusions. Several meta-analyses have been conducted on the effectiveness of one-to-one tutoring, such as those by Slavin, Cheung, Pellegrini and Hattie, which demonstrate the positive impact of tutoring and its inbedded practices, across various academic disciplines.

Buxus hedge

Pat from Feilding

I have a surplus buxus hedge for removal. It's in great condition, approx 4m long and 56 cms tall. If you have a home for it, it's free, but you have to come and dig it up yourself. Seems like a bargain! Please message me for details. Many thanks, everyone!

An email scam has re-emerged that references Police and other justice sector partners.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer locating explicit illegal material, and that a reply is needed within 48 hours or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.

This email is a scam and anyone who receives it should not reply under any circumstances. Although some versions of the email do not specifically reference money, other similar scams involve the recipient being issued a ‘fine’ when they respond. Police have received several reports of this scam and enquiries are underway.

It’s important to note that Police and other government agencies will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your password, credit card or bank details.
Anyone who received this email scam is asked to send it as an attachment in an email to the Police Cybercrime Team: cybercrime@police.govt.nz

Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails.
- Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
- Information on other scams currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection website.
- Netsafe can also provide some helpful advice about keeping safe online.

Hi neigbours,

The local council is seeking feedback on a monitored parking proposal for the Feilding CBD, funded by the ratepayer.

It's hoped three-hour limits will help turnover parks and provide greater opportunity for shoppers to find spaces, presently dominated by all-day workers.

Do you think parking limits and the threat of fines is the best way to persuade town workers to park away for the shops, or are there other ways to encourage buy-in for better parking etiquette?

Feedback closes September 12.
