A face-to-face tutoring centre on High Street in central Dunedin, where children from Year 1 to Year 13 get small-group help in maths, English and structured literacy. It is set up for children who can do the work but need a calmer, more personal place to learn, and for those who have fallen behind the class and need the gaps closed step by step.
Sessions are in person, with qualified teachers and small groups. The programmes are built around what each child needs, from number confidence and problem solving to a more carefully structured literacy pathway. The centre describes its approach as research-based teaching, with clear explanations and plenty of chance to ask questions.
The space is kept quiet and welcoming, and the website says there are dogs around the centre, which some families find helps children settle. Families who have written about it say their children became more confident, and that the tutors are patient and kind. One parent says their daughter, who had long struggled with maths confidence, made real progress over the year. Another says a child attending once a week after school started to show clear gains in reading and writing.
To find out more, families can call, text, email, or message Lisa on Facebook.
Our pick in central Dunedin for a child who needs steady, one-on-one style support in a calm room.
