Meet the Owner: Wendy Dumée

Kia ora, I’m Wendy Dumée, the owner and manager of NumberWorks’nWords Papamoa. I was the teaching team leader for the Gifted and Talented students in Totara House at Tauranga Intermediate for many years. Now, it is great to be able to encourage and support students in my local community with their learning. In my experience, the NumberWorks’nWords programme works because it is fun and it matches the NZ school curriculum. My stepdaughter loved her years learning at NumberWorks’nWords and she felt comfortable working alongside the young tutors. Her confidence blossomed and so did her results! 

I love walking my dog Rosie, in the Wairakei Reserve and the view of the beautiful Papamoa Hills. Learning to speak languages, such as Mandarin, French, and te reo Maori, is one of my favourite pastimes. 

Me and my team of kind, encouraging trained tutors will be able to fill learning gaps and give your child that boost in Maths and/or English which can make all the difference!
