Mathematics Workshops for Home School Students | Beyond Play

Mathematics.

10 Weeks | Term 1-4 | Ages 8+ | Problem Solving | Logical Thinking | Communication

Mathematics is a 60-min instructor led workshop started specifically for home school students to help students from all over Aotearoa access quality Math classes. Our teaching structure goes beyond just math - our main goal is to create an environment that inspires students to learn and communicate with not just their instructor but with their peers. Math is always the same, it's the environment that it's taught in that makes the difference.

For students who are unavailable during our regular workshop times or for those in areas where we don't currently offer group sessions, we offer Mathematics Offline. This option gives students the flexibility to work through their assigned content throughout the week at their own pace. Additionally, our tutors are available throughout the week to assist with any tough questions through our private online forum, ensuring students receive the support they need to succeed. Mathematics Offline is $100/term or $12.99/week.

Our instructors are experienced with teaching NCEA/Cambridge/IB all the way through to University level Mathematics. So please reach out if you require a specific level or are looking for 1:1 tutoring.
