Meet the Manager: Rowan McCaffery

Rowan Johnsonville

Hi, I'm Rowan, the manager for NumberWorks'nWords in Johnsonville. I moved to Wellington from Taranaki when I started University, and have lived here ever since. Although I do miss the mountain from time to time! After University, I went on to do a teaching diploma at the College of Education in Karori. I worked for a few years in an admin position at Victoria University, and coordinated and taught their transition maths course, where many students started with no subject knowledge at all. I especially enjoyed working with the community to make what can seem like hard concepts easier to understand.

I love the great teaching and learning environment that NumberWorks'nWords provides. We welcome you to visit us in centre to learn more about how NumberWorks'nWords can help your child.

NumberWorks'nWords saved my life as a concerned parent of a child that was just lost at school. My son enjoys going and doing fun exercises that help him learn the fundamentals of english and maths. He has been going for two years and we plan on him attending until he finishes year 12.

It is a wonderful and supportive environment, where the children receive focused tutoring support that is customized to their needs and align with the NZ curriculum. The manager and tutors quickly understood my daughters areas of strengths and gaps.

— S. Baker

They are very consistent and helpful. If there is a problem, they are forth coming and prepared to provide solutions. They are always available for a discussion if need be. They keep the kids accountable for their responsibility to tutoring.

It’s a pleasure when the kids come home after a session and are positive about what they learned and are keen to go back again … WIN!

I do not believe there is a better facility other than NumberWorks'nWords for my child. I would highly recommend any parent call and have a chat. You have nothing to lose.
