Our maths programme caters to school-age children in larger groups, with one tutor for every four students.

Lessons Offered
Maths & Music for Preschoolers
Maths AND Music instruction integrated into each 40 minute class.
Preschoolers learn while having fun, led by award-winning teachers. Small classes utilise an astonishingly varied and innovative set of resources.
Students may enrol at the beginning of the term in which they turn four years old, and continue until they start school — allowing at least four terms of instruction.
The course objectives are for preschoolers to learn basic music theory, play a simple tune on violin and piano, and demonstrate confidence in arithmetic and geometry.
Individual Lessons
Our expert teachers provide individual tuition in piano, violin, cello, viola, music theory, composition, and of course mathematics.
Students learn in the manner and at the pace which suits them best, according to tailor-made lesson plans.
One-on-one lessons give teachers the flexibility to provide tuition perfectly tuned to the specific needs and desires of students.
Daily practice is expected.
Support is provided for Trinity College music exams in addition to school maths or music exams.
Maths Programme
Our Maths Programme is designed for school-aged students seeking more structured learning to help them reach their true potential. They work at their own pace through carefully selected workbooks, while being constantly monitored and assisted by tutors. Workbooks are chosen according to need and personal goals, as opposed to age or year group.
A 60-min class and at least one 20-min Zoom maths demonstration is offered each weekend. Students are expected to complete daily homework during term time.
The Primary programme is designed to not only consolidate numeracy skills, but also to embed key concepts and build confidence in word problems. The Secondary programme is oriented towards the new secondary NZ maths curriculum and the numeracy co-requisite.
Chamber Music Coaching

Expert Chamber Music Coaching is provided to committed students who want to experience the joy of small ensemble playing (3 to 8 players) and need some extra guidance.
