Tutoring in Napier, because your child counts

Napier families have an Impact Hub on their doorstep: the Hawke's Bay Hub in Taradale offers in-person lessons at a 1:2 ratio, with one-on-one online tutoring as the alternative when the drive or the timetable does not suit.

Built around Napier students

Hawke's Bay parents tell us the same two stories: a primary child whose maths confidence slipped and never recovered, or a senior suddenly facing NCEA externals and the CAA co-requisites. Whether your child is at Napier Boys' or Girls' High, Taradale High, Tamatea or one of the primary schools across the city, lessons are matched to their school programme and their personality.

Every student starts with a relaxed phone call so we understand what is going on at school, then we match them with the right tutor. Juniors can begin with a full numeracy and literacy assessment so lessons target the real gaps from day one.

How online lessons work

  • One-on-one, live with your child's own matched tutor
  • Same tutor, same day and time, every week
  • Built around their school programme, from Year 1 to NCEA Level 3 and adult learning
  • Plain-English progress updates for parents

My teenager needs NCEA help - is it too late in the year?

It is never a bad time to start. Before externals we focus on exam technique and the highest-value standards; from Term 1 we build the foundations so next November is calmer.
