Who we are

As a father of two and a passionate educator, I founded AddVenture, a unique program designed to make math an engaging and fun activity for kids. By integrating creative storytelling, mathematics, and the arts, AddVenture provides an innovative experience that brings the world of math to life.

We offer tailored tutoring and workshops that involve warm-up activities, character creation, math challenges woven into stories, artistic expression, and reflection. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding and love for math through imaginative narratives and artistic exploration.

  • At AddVenture, safety is a priority, and our team is well-prepared to handle emergencies, first aid training completed as recently as 2012. We enforce strict safety protocols and conduct regular policy and policy checks to ensure that all practices meet the highest standards of safety. Additionally, all staff members are required to have current Working with Children Checks (WWCC) and Police Checks.

  • Public and Professional Indemnity insurance are crucial for safeguarding the well-being of our children during their participation in our programs. We maintain up-to-date and comprehensive insurance policies that provide essential coverage to ensure a protected environment for all children involved in our activities. This commitment to safety helps us create a secure and nurturing space where children can explore and learn without undue risk.

  • We are committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment where all staff and children are treated with dignity and respect. Staff are expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct, demonstrating professionalism and courtesy in all interactions with children and colleagues. Similarly, we encourage children to engage with each other and staff members in a positive and respectful manner, promoting an atmosphere of mutual respect and learning. Misconduct, including any form of bullying, discrimination, or inappropriate behavior, will not be tolerated and will be addressed promptly to maintain a safe and supportive environment for everyone.
