The main thing we wanted was for our son's maths confidence to improve. NumberWorks'nWords did that and more. Our son now loves maths, he is getting great results and he approaches problems with a can-do attitude. He enjoys the classes and says the tutors always take their time to explain things, no matter how many times he asks. Thanks, NumberWorks'nWords!

Good curriculum and a good tutor to student ratio. They pay good attention to the student during the sessions and the games and rewards make it fun!

Excellent tuition provider. Kids love their tutors and mix of computer games and fun activities. I recommend the tutoring as an excellent way of extending, plugging the gaps, or just for enjoyment.

Wonderful tutoring so well organised and a great setup. My 12-year-old daughter had developed a fear of math and was falling well behind at school but after the first few sessions her confidence returned and she has come along leaps and bounds.

It was a good experience for my daughter. Being there restored her confidence in herself to learn and understand maths. The instant feedback of answers, the interactive learning, and having a tutor right there with her to see how she worked and help her make connections turned her around.

Our Daughters confidence in her own abilities has improved dramatically since she started with Number Works n Words. The Team at Pennant Hills has been amazing, using teacher feedback and reports to provide a more targeted approach to learning. We would highly recommend this service to all parents.

My son has attended NumberWord'nWorks and before coming along he really struggled with the basics, avoiding maths if he could. He now has increased confidence, enthusiasm and loves to tackle his maths problems. He has improved numeracy skills. Ross and the tutors have been so supportive, organised, and very caring. They keep him on task, the program is enjoyable and I am kept up to date. I recommend this program if your child is struggling with numeracy.

My son was not getting good results in English at the beginning of the year. After starting tuition at NumberWorks'nWords, he was getting Merit and Excellence.

My grandson has been attending NumberWorks'nWords for two and a half years. We have found it has improved his confidence and ability in learning mathematical concepts. The friendliness, personalised learning, and great communication are the reasons for continuing with NumberWorks'nWords.
