Kia Ora, I'm Nicola, the owner of NumberWorks'nWords in Rolleston, Canterbury. My goal is to ensure that children feel confident in their abilities and enjoy learning. Originally from the UK I visited New Zealand twelve years ago and never left. Devoting my time to working with children led me to complete both my undergraduate in Psychology and Education along with a Master of Primary Teaching up in Auckland. For the past three years I have been fortunate enough to call Canterbury home. Over the years I have worked both in classrooms and with children on a one on one basis in private settings. I have seen the progress children can make with their learning when they are encouraged and have their skills nurtured through individualised programmes. I endeavour to help learners take pride in their work and believe in themselves, setting them up for success.
