Hello! I'm Myra, the Manager of NumberWorks'nWords here in Palmerston North.
I grew up here in the Manawatū and love it – mostly for all the places I can walk my dogs! I started out at NumberWorks'nWords as a maths tutor in 2015 and have made my way through the ranks to become the manager in 2022. The best part of my job is seeing the students grow in their self-confidence and reach their goals – nothing beats witnessing that “Aha!” moment when a child clicks with a skill!
I’m always keen to have a chat about students and make a plan about how we can help them reach their potential. Give me a call or pop into our centre – I can't wait to meet you!
Brittany Yeo
Owner
Kia ora and welcome to NumberWorks’nWords! I am the owner of this centre and have been a part of NumberWorks’nWords since I was a teenager! When I was 13 years old, Dad opened the Palmerston North Centre and I was the first student on the books! The support and teaching I received from my tutors over the years has shaped me to this day. My background is in Primary Teaching and Counselling. I completed my Bachelor of Education at Massey University in 2007 and my Master of Counselling at the University of Waikato in 2020.
I have been involved in running NumberWorks’nWords centres for over 15 years. I love how our programme allows us to work with each student in the way that best supports their individual learning needs. It is important to me that your child’s learning experience here supports them to reach their full potential. Our shared aim is to make a positive difference in your child’s life.

Frequently asked questions
What are the lesson times?
Our centres run one-hour tutoring sessions after school, Monday to Friday, usually starting from 3:30pm. We aim to be as flexible as possible to fit around your child’s other activities. Just let us know what works best for you!
What ages do you teach?
We work with students aged 5 to 16, covering all levels of ability; from early learners to those preparing for exams or needing extension work (more of challenge).
What subjects do you teach?
At NumberWorks'nWords we specialise in both maths and English.
What happens if my child is sick and can't make it?
Let us know as soon as possible. We’ll cancel your child’s tutoring session for that day and schedule a make-up session during the same term.
