Ivan Leary Cashmere

I have been involved with NumberWorks'nWords since 1992, when I started as a tutor! In 1999, I started the Cashmere branch in south Christchurch, where I have stayed for twenty years. It's obvious by my long term commitment to NumberWorks'nWords, that I still absolutely love seeing students develop their maths & English skills, and become more engaged in their learning. I'm proud to have taught thousands of students, and helped them increase their confidence, and love of learning. In some cases, I now have the privilege of teaching the children of some of my original students, from the late 1990's!

I'm always happy to meet with you and discuss your child's educational needs, and to help your child reach their full potential.

My two daughters (years 3 and 4) have been at NumberWorks'nWords for the last couple of years. Prior to NumberWorks'nWords, they were already reasonably good at maths but were starting to lose interest in it as it got harder at school. As a result of NumberWorks'nWords, they now find maths at school enjoyable because they understand it - and they are able to help others in their class who find it more difficult. Achieving at maths is fun, even exciting, and quite empowering for them. They get rewarded and celebrated when they achieve or move levels. The staff at NumberWorks'nWords are really encouraging, and the tutors are young and good academic role models.

Our children have been attending NumberWorks'nWords for a while now and love it. The teachers are approachable and the teaching is fantastic. Highly recommended for children who need to catch up and those that need extension work.

My daughter has only been at number works for a few weeks but is already gaining much-needed confidence. She really enjoys her sessions there the staff are awesome and very supportive.

We have had such a positive experience with NumberWorks'nWords. Our kids love it and their confidence in maths has increased significantly. Ivan is incredible. He has such a wonderful rapport with the kids and his high energy personality is encouraging.

I have two daughters aged 8 and 9 who have been doing NumberWorks'nWords for a couple of years. They were already reasonably good at maths but, because of doing the extra maths at NumberWorks'nWords, they are really achieving and as a result feel really confident in class. They have developed a love of maths that they would not have had if they were not doing NumberWorks'nWords. The tutors are really vibrant and motivating and clearly have an invested interest in the student's success. My daughters really look forward to their class each week and I see them continuing it for some time.

NumberWorks'nWords has been amazing for my son! Ivan and the team quickly worked out what he needed to work on and made the learning so much fun. He wanted to go each day!
