EducateMaths was founded as Principal Director Steve Cornelius experienced the struggles of his own son as he entered NCEA level 1. Thinking that everything was going well, Steve was surprised when his son came asking for help.
Having successfully tutored math to his son, Steve made the move to build EducateMaths as a business helping young minds excel through an individually tailored learning program covering all mathematic learning areas every week.
Today EducateMaths has succeeded in empowering children with confidence and ensuring everyone has the tools to keep moving forward in their learning. With a network of tutors, EducateMaths is able to provide a personal experience whether joining as an Online Independent Learner or in Direct Sessions across the country.

Meet Steve Cornelius
Hi. I’m Steve Cornelius
During my time as an educator with over 30+ years’ experience, I have been a classroom teacher, a Principal of three Schools and the Manager of Resource Teachers of Learning and Behaviour.
I work currently out of a Red Beach Primary School providing direct maths tutoring for students who need that extra learning to boost maths progress and confidence. I have been having a great deal of success in improving maths achievement levels for students. One of my independent on-line students (who does not see me directly), has progressed her maths achievement level nearly 3 years in 21 months and is now achieving above her Actual Age in Math.
I am able to support students through ‘live video feed’ when they have a particular ‘struggle/frustration’ in math. Parents have found this very useful preventing many family math conflicts.
If I was to be asked what my biggest takeaway would be when teaching/tutoring students it would be:
“My biggest thrill is to see the smile on a student’s face when they have succeeded at something they thought was impossible.”
