Greetings and Salutations!

My name is Akash and I am a university graduate with a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Physics who is offering tutoring in Science and Mathematics.

It will cost (would offer them for free but I need to eat, really I do!) $25 (Special discount for people with a Community Service Card) per student for single student sessions.

These lessons will be one (1, for those who no longer spell numbers) hour. If you want a longer lesson then this can be organized with me.

The subjects that can be taught by me are:
Mathematics:
Year 9,
Year 10,
NCEA level 1 .
Physics :
NCEA Level 1,
NCEA Level 2,
NCEA Level 3.

The tutoring session will include help with any homework that the student has been given and/or (time permitting) extra lessons. These lessons will include revision of topics covered by the student in class if reinforcement is required and may also include an introduction of new topics if so desired by the students who wants to get ahead with their coursework (or who want to show off to their peers….).

Notes have been prepared by me to help with this and examples that the student will hopefully find interesting will be studied. When exams are close, then special classes will be run which will consist of going through past exam papers and improving exam technique (psychiatric help not included).

The student may also email me questions they have about the subject throughout the week (but not ten (10) minutes before the test/exam/due date/whatever!). If an immediate (and/or an easily typed) answer cannot be provided then the question will be covered during the next tutoring session.

If the student finds that the tutor (me) is not suitable for their needs, then they may be withdrawn from my lessons at no extra cost (they still need to pay for any lessons that they attend, that is all). The only requirement is that they let me know if this is the case, this is so that I don’t go grey from worry if they do not come!

These lessons will take place at my home. One can be tutored from Monday to Thursday during the week and on Sunday. The timing that these lessons can occur will be 16:30-18:30 (4:30 PM-6:30 PM (I will not be awake if the P is changed to an A!)) during the weekdays and timings for Sunday can be negotiated with the tutor (me).

If an emergency arises my brother and mother will be on hand to render any assistance required.

If you are interested or want to ask any questions please email me at: akash.sciencetutor@gmail.com or contact me through Neighbourly.

Normally a meeting will be arranged between the tutor and the student and their parent(s)/caregiver(s) to discuss the student’s problem(s) with the subject(s), their strengths and other matters of this kind. If you are unable to arrange such a meeting then please say so when you contact me.

You (parent(s)/caregiver(s)) can also decide if you feel they can face me on their own or with a group at their back (like that will help).

To lighten the mood, some cartoons (drawn by me) have been included. These are intended to help ease the fear you probably feel every time the words “Mathematics”, “Maths” “Physics” and “Science” are mentioned!

Thank you for your time and have a good day (or night as the case may be).

When you’re homeless, sleeping under the New Zealand flag might just be a final defense. That’s what Six reckons.

Six doesn’t live on the streets any more but she hasn’t forgotten how if feels to fall. To find yourself without a roof, no corner of the world to call your own. She wanted to make sure other people understood what it’s like so she started a community paper about homelessness from the inside.

In The K’Rd Chronicles, we take to the streets of inner city Auckland and meet the people from Six’s world. Join Stuff over the next 8 weeks, as winter sets in, to learn about their struggle to change their lives … and to stay alive.

Volunteers with Auckland Coastguard have been recognised at this year’s New Zealand Search and Rescue Awards held at Parliament this week.

Congratulations to Jo Norgrove who received a Certificate of Achievement for her services to Coastguard and Search and Rescue.

Auckland Coastguard was awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Operational Activity for their involvement in the rescue of a badly injured yachtsman near Waiheke Island in March last year.

Coastguard Auckland volunteers Chris Griggs and Lynne Jacobsen received the award on behalf of the rest of the unit at the awards ceremony held in Wellington.

Griggs says it was an honour to accept the award on behalf of the unit.

“This rescue was a real team effort,” says Griggs. “We had no idea of the severity of the man’s injuries at first but once on scene we worked hard to bring the situation under control and provide as much comfort and pain relief as possible.”

On the night of the rescue, the Coastguard Auckland unit responded to the yachtsman ’s distress call who was badly burned after being engulfed in flames on board his vessel. Coastguard Auckland unit vessels, ASB Rescue and Li on Foundation Rescue, were tasked to locate and assist the casualty and then to transfer the yachtsman to the nearest land point where an ambulance and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter were waiting.

Griggs boarded the yacht to find the man sitting in the shower under the running water in an attempt to ease the discomfort from his burns. “The fire had caused significant burns to his arms, h ands and lower body. He had done the right thing by sitting under the cold water but in doing so had started to go hypothermic and was in immense pain,” says Griggs.

Once on board Lion Foundation Rescue, the man was carefully transferred to emergency services waiting onshore.

The judges said the Coastguard volunteers used their skills in a “highly stressful situation” where time was of the essence. By preventing further injury to the victim , the volunteers improved his chances of survival and recovery.

Auckland Coastguard relies on donations and sponsorship to deliver on our mission of "Saving lives at sea." If you can support us in any way, please get in touch with Owen Harrison on 09 303 9366 or owen@auckland-coastguard.org.nz
