Tutoring in Ōamaru, because your child counts

North Otago sits in the long gap between Timaru and Dunedin - and neither end has much tutoring to offer anyway. Impact serves Ōamaru and the Waitaki district online: one-on-one weekly lessons in maths, English and NCEA subjects with the same matched tutor.

Built around Ōamaru students

Ōamaru families are used to services thinning out between the bigger centres. Tutoring no longer has to: students at Waitaki Boys' and Girls' High, St Kevin's and the district primaries get an assessment-first plan and a consistent weekly session at home, with parents kept in the loop in plain English.

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
