Frequently Asked Questions

• Do maths tutors help?

  Our individualised maths tutoring is based on each pupil’s current ability and what their learning goals are. We choose to use high-performing students because they are very competent in the subject matter, having recently done it themselves, and the children look up to them as role models.

  Complementary with the school curriculum, you can be assured that everything learned will be relevant and useful to your child. At NumberWorks'nWords we develop a tailored learning programme for each student and support them in unlocking their full potential. We regularly report back to parents so you know how your child is progressing, and can support their learning at home.

  Specific preparation for upcoming challenges, such as tests and exams, can be integrated with lesson plans, which helps students succeed at school. We also offer advice that helps with revision plans and homework and can provide homework for pupils to take home and work on between tutoring sessions.

• Does tutoring improve grades?

  Students who attend math tutoring with NumberWorks’nWords experience a lift in school grades, improved academic performance, and increased confidence to tackle maths challenges. Our individualised tuition helps students build strong foundation skills and understanding across all areas of maths so that they approach exam and test revision with a positive attitude and confidence.

  We offer advice that helps students with their exam revision and homework, which supports students in achieving their best academic results. 

  Maths lessons are fun, which means students look forward to after-school tuition, and learning is an enjoyable experience. Our fun approach to learning motivates students' continued efforts towards improving their grades and academic outcomes. 

  A key part of our tuition model is regular progress reporting, to show parents how their children are improving and keep in touch about their children’s grades and progress. Our individually tailored learning programs can be adjusted in line with each child’s progress and learning goals, to ensure they are on track to achieve their best academic outcomes.

• How long does a maths tutoring session last?

  A tutoring session with NumberWorks’nWords runs for one hour. Most centres begin after-school lessons at 3:30pm, but lesson times vary from centre to centre. If your child requires more time with a tutor, they can book back-to-back sessions in one afternoon, or attend multiple sessions each week. Our personalised approach to tuition means we can offer each student the support they need at times that suit your family, and fit in with extracurricular activities.

  Maths tutoring with NumberWorks’nWords is delivered by specialist tutors who are experts in their fields and can provide 1-1 support for each student. The hour-long sessions fly by, and our students are eager to return to the learning centres each week.

• What is your curriculum for maths tutoring?

  Our maths tuition, for ages 5 - 16 years of age, covers all aspects of the maths curriculum (Number, Patterns and Algebra, Data, Measurement, Space, and Geometry) with a strong emphasis on numeracy strategies. 

  Each child has their own individualised learning program, based on the outcomes of the comprehensive assessment that we provide at no cost before tuition begins. The assessment process identifies strengths, weaknesses and any knowledge gaps. This information helps us develop a personalised tuition plan, which we establish in conjunction with the school curriculum, and each child’s learning goals. 

  Throughout the term, previous study areas are re-tested and revised to ensure learning has been retained, and children are on track with their learning. Some students stay with us for a couple of terms, and others choose to stay longer, setting new goals and striving for further challenges. If a child chooses to stay with us, their learning program is reassessed to ensure they remain on track with their learning goals.

• What age should you get a tutor?

  Tutoring programmes provide help for children who need extra assistance with their learning and challenge students who require an extension to progress at an accelerated rate.

  Some children need extra support early on in their education, while others experience difficulties later in their schooling. On the other side, some students may need extensions as soon as they start school, or this may come later when they develop heightened learning agility and outperform their peers. When to start tutoring for your child is a family choice, but NumberWorks’nWords can help with this process, through our academic assessment.

  You can bring your child into a NumberWorks’nWords centre for a comprehensive free assessment that identifies strengths, weaknesses and gaps, that tutoring can help with. There are many reasons why you should consider tutoring for your child, These may include:

  • Your child is falling behind with their schoolwork
  • Your child needs extra support and time with the teacher at school  
  • Your child has a keen interest in a subject area that they want to learn more about 
  • Your child shows indications of needing accelerated learning 
  • Your child is approaching an important test or exam that they need support with 
  • Your child is nervous about school and has low confidence
