EXCELLENCE IN MATHEMATICS IS EXHILARATING
Hi Neighbours,
With the School holidays coming to an end many secondary school students will be entering the NCEA maths curriculum and may find themselves struggling.
I have been teaching Mathematics in Devonport over the last 20 years using plenty of diagrams and emphasising the importance of solid working. A little bit of chess has also been used to successfully improve memory and develop the sequential tactical problem solving skills so critical in maths.
I am able to tutor in your homes around the Devonport area and I’m happy to zoom otherwise.
All my full time students passed their NCEA course requirements in 2023.
Perhaps I could help you discover excellence in mathematics.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
