School breaks can widen learning gaps — our expert-led holiday maths classes help your child stay ahead, not fall behind.

Holiday Maths Tuition in Auckland That Keeps Your Child Ahead

For many children, holidays are synonymous with movie marathons under blankets, baking with family, or chasing puddles in gumboots. This mid-year break is meant for fun, rest, and recharging. But amidst the hot chocolates, board games, and some excessive screen time there’s a quieter more worrying trend: the steady erosion of hard-won academic gains, particularly in mathematics.

Studies highlight, the ‘summer slide’ is no myth. Between 70% and 84% of students experience a notable dip in maths performance during school breaks, with consequences that can compound year after year.

By the time students reach Year 5, some may already be lagging 2.5 to 3 years behind their peers due to accumulated summer learning loss. The data is striking: a Johns Hopkins University study revealed that nearly three-quarters of the achievement gap by ninth grade stems from academic regressions during the holidays.

Tailored Learning Plans That Make the Difference

At EMT Tuition, we begin with a one-on-one assessment to craft a tailored learning plan that meets each child’s individual needs. Our Auckland holiday learning programs are designed for Years 5–13 and tailored to each learner’s needs.

Our approach, refined over a decade, combines academic rigour with cultural relevance, particularly for Māori and Pasifika learners. By embedding mathematical problems in familiar contexts, we make maths both meaningful and engaging. When children see themselves reflected in the learning, they stop thinking maths is for "other people" and start believing it’s for them.

These holiday sessions aren’t simply a stop-gap — they’re a springboard. With small groups, individual attention, and alignment to the New Zealand curriculum, students return to school not merely ready, but ahead.
