NumberWorks'nWords St Ives

St Ives Staff

Owners: John and Tinara Eagles

Hi I'm Tinara and this is John, and we are the Owners and Managers of NumberWork'nWords St Ives.

I have been with NumberWorks'nWords since 1997 and am still enjoying working for the company as much as I did on my first day! My husband and I purchased the St Ives Franchise in 2004 and we also work together as the NSW State Managers for NumberWorks'nWords.

I really enjoy the challenge of tutoring children and find it an extremely satisfying job. There is nothing better than seeing children grow in confidence and start to not just like, but love learning!

Our spare time is taken up with our little daughter Gabrielle in whom we gain much delight as we watch her grow and learn new things. Children are an amazing gift and we feel very blessed to have her in our lives. John enjoys playing basketball and I love a game of netball. We are also members of St Mark's Anglican Church in Pennant Hills.

Manager: Glen Spencer

Hi, my name is Glen Spencer, and I am the manager of NumberWorks'nWords St Ives. I have always enjoyed helping young people achieve their full potential and teaching them that learning can actually be a fun experience! I've had the opportunity to teach in various primary and secondary schools around Sydney, including Newington College, Sydney Secondary College Leichhardt and Lidcombe Public School. For three years, I also worked as a teacher supervisor and English teacher in Nagoya, Japan.

This is a photo of me with my wife, Denin and my son, Christopher, celebrating his second birthday. When I'm not at NumberWorks'nWords or gallivanting about with my wonderful family, you can usually find me either reading a book, painting a canvas, or eating something scrumptious that my wife has made.
