What’s it like working at NumberWorks'nWords?

AI summary of recent reviews

Employees at NumberWorks'nWords find the work of tutoring rewarding, as they get to see students improving their maths skills. The company offers great flexibility, making it suitable for those with other commitments like university studies. The workplace is described as close-knit and supportive, with practices like 'huddle-time' promoting a sense of belonging. Employees also appreciate the good managers who are accommodating of their schedules and other commitments.

However, there are some potential challenges, such as the fast-paced and intense nature of tutoring sessions, with up to four students at a time, which may not suit everyone. Employees may also find it challenging to balance attention among multiple students and manage disruptive behaviour during sessions. Additionally, some employees have noted that there are very few shifts available, which could be a potential challenge.

Education Support Officer

Nov 2019

1 to 2 years in the role, former employee

Was a fantastic place to work for. Loved every minute. Missed it when I had to leave for another part-time work opportunity.

The good thingsGreat training & very close-knit workplace that includes a 'huddle-time' before every work session (which promotes belonging). Tutoring is very rewarding, as you get to see the students improving. Great if wishing to work a second job or wishing to work shorter hours.

The challengesThe tutoring sessions are in one hour slots with up to four students at a time. These sessions are extremely full-on from start to finish, so you have to be ok with a very fast-paced environment that can run for at least a few hours in succession. Only casual.

Rewarding!

The good thingsFun working environment that was very rewarding knowing students were improving their maths skills and knowledge not only during the tutoring session, but also at school because of me.

The challengesBalancing my time spent with each of the three students when one of the students had difficulty grasping the math skill/technique. Managing disruptive behaviour was also challenging.
