Meet our mentors: Bobbi

Shereen Lee from West Auckland Academic Mentoring

"My name is Bobbi, I have just finished my degree in Biomedical Engineering (Hons). At the moment I am working at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, using computer science to get more information from MRI images for heart disease diagnoses. In my degree I've had to tackle plenty of tricky maths and physics - in school I always wondered whether these subjects would actually be useful in the 'real world', but now I use them every day, and for cool stuff!
I've been tutoring maths and physics for the past few years. I never found these subjects easy in high school, so I understand how much of a struggle they can be. I love tutoring because it's incredibly rewarding to see your student grow more confident in their subject - it's great when you see the pieces start to fall into place.
There are few things more satisfying than solving a particularly gnarly maths problem!"

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
