Meet the Manager: Myra Reitsma

PALMERSTON NORTH Myra Reitsma

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!

My son has been attending NumberWorks'nWords for the past 4 years, he was behind by a lot when we chose tutoring and now he is where he needs to be. We carry on with tutoring not because he needs it but because he loves it.

— W. Ferrancullo

Great tutors. They provide the children with a programme that caters to their specific needs.

— H. Giles

We love the individualised approach to our son's learning goals, whilst he is still integrated into a class-style environment. This has given him more confidence in his school classroom and the maths exercises have helped him achieve better results at school.

— S. Murphy

It has been great for my daughter. She has gained so much confidence, as she was falling behind and getting upset at not understanding her maths at school. The teachers their are such nice people and they provide an amazing environment for the kids. My daughter absolutely loves attending and I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with it.

— M. Anne

Ally, Myra, and the team at Palmerston NumberWorks'nWords have been so engaged with our son’s progress. We are so pleased our son has been enrolled with them. We have no hesitation in recommending the team.

— J. Mikkelsen

Before NumberWorks'nWords, my daughter struggled to understand the concepts of basic maths and couldn't do basic facts. With the help of NumberWorks'nWords, she is now near the top of the class and finally enjoying maths!

— L. Assa

It has been amazing to see our daughter progress since attending NumberWorks'nWords but more importantly, she has gained confidence in herself and a passion for learning!
