At Nīkau School, we are excited to offer Montessori mathematics tutoring for children who would benefit from a little extra support in building their mathematical confidence. Using authentic Montessori methods, our tutoring sessions focus on hands-on, visual, and tactile experiences that bring maths to life — no heavy textbooks or rote memorisation here!
Why Choose Montessori Mathematics Tutoring?
Montessori education approaches mathematics in a unique and powerful way. Instead of memorising abstract rules, children work with concrete materials that allow them to physically experience mathematical concepts. Beads, number rods, golden bead material, and other beautifully designed tools help students see, touch, and explore numbers in a meaningful context.
Through Montessori mathematics tutoring, children develop a deep, intuitive understanding of numbers, place value, operations, fractions, and even more advanced topics. The approach supports the natural progression from concrete to abstract thinking, setting a strong foundation for lifelong mathematical confidence.
Flexible and Child-Centred
We know every family’s needs are different, which is why our Montessori mathematics tutoring is flexible. Parents can choose the frequency that suits their child — whether it's an hour per week for steady reinforcement or more frequent sessions during periods when extra support is needed.
Tutoring can be arranged either after school or during school hours. This flexibility ensures that learning support fits smoothly into your child’s routine without becoming an added stress.
Who is Montessori Mathematics Tutoring For?
Montessori mathematics tutoring is ideal for:
Visual and tactile learners who thrive with hands-on experiences.
Children who need a boost of confidence in mathematics.
Students who have gaps in understanding that traditional methods have overlooked.
Families who want their child's learning to be joyful, meaningful, and connected to real-world experiences.
A Focus on Confidence and Curiosity
Above all, our goal with Montessori mathematics tutoring is not just to “keep up” — it’s to nurture a genuine love of learning and problem-solving. When children feel capable and in control of their learning, confidence grows naturally. We believe that every child deserves to experience maths as something beautiful, logical, and accessible.
