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.

You can choose to be tutored on your own or in a group of up to three-four students.

It will cost (would offer them for free but I need to eat, really I do!) $20 (Special discount for people with a Community Service Card) per student for group sessions and $25 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If the student finds that the tutor (me) is not suitable for their needs, then they may be withdrawn from my lessons at no extra cost (they still need to pay for any lessons that they attend, that is all).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).

Original poetry....

Andrea from Eden Terrace

And so another light diminishes

Angular they said, not looking too long - enough to see you bow
So successful in her sport representing the school and all
I hear she inherited her speed from her grandmother
And so another light diminishes

Singer they said, not looking too long – enough … View more
And so another light diminishes

Angular they said, not looking too long - enough to see you bow
So successful in her sport representing the school and all
I hear she inherited her speed from her grandmother
And so another light diminishes

Singer they said, not looking too long – enough to see you bow
the voice of an angel lead singer in the choir and all
I hear she inherited her voice from her mother
And so another light diminishes

Artistic they said, not looking too long – enough to see you bow
Paints pictures like the unspoken word on a canvas
I hear she inherited her talent from her aunt
And so another light diminishes

Successful they said, not looking too long – enough to see you bow
Takes risks like a formula one driver around a blind bend
I hear he inherited his talent from his father
And so another light diminishes

Individual they said, not looking too long – they missed you square up your shoulders
Dances like a leaf in a wild northerly wind
This they say, I inherited from my self
And in my light, their darkness diminshes
