For nearly 15 years, these Adelaide-based after-school tuition centres have played a key role in building children’s confidence in learning. NumberWorks’nWords Norwood and Unley welcome students of all abilities, offering tailored support in Maths and English.
Founded in 1984 by passionate educators, NumberWorks’nWords was created to make a difference in children’s lives through education. With more than 40 years of experience and 69 tuition centres worldwide, it is one of the longest-running tuition providers. Their mission is to improve school results and boost students’ confidence, helping them succeed both academically and beyond.
The centres offer free English and Maths assessments to identify gaps and areas for improvement. Using this information, the team collaborates with parents and students to develop a personalised learning programme tailored to each child’s needs.
Whether students are learning to read and write, strengthening basic numeracy skills, preparing for exams, or seeking advanced challenges, NumberWorks’nWords provides customised tuition to support their growth. Covering 11 levels of the school curriculum, their centres collectively deliver over 120,000 English and Maths tutoring lessons every term.
Adelaide franchise owner Stella Walls brings extensive experience as a classroom teacher, with a strong background in Special Education. Having helped thousands of students unlock their potential, she first discovered NumberWorks’nWords 15 years ago when she moved to Auckland and sought additional support for her own child.
“There were some challenges teaching my eldest daughter at home because she believed that I didn’t know anything about teaching,” Stella says with a laugh. “So I decided to outsource the tuition and found NumberWorks’nWords.”
When her daughter walked out of the first session with a smile, Stella knew she had found something special.“That really caught my eye as a parent, and I loved their fun and engaging approach,” she recalls.
After moving to Adelaide a few years later, she brought NumberWorks’nWords to Norwood. Due to growing demand, she soon opened a second centre in Unley. NumberWorks’nWords Norwood offers a free assessment and lesson for all new students.
To book your child’s free assessment, call Stella on 8333 2121.
NumberWorks’nWords is located at Norwood – 5, 53-59 The Parade; Unley – Level 1, 277 Unley Rd, Malvern.
