TUTORING Before Tertiary Studies 2020 begin
If you (or someone you know) is enrolled or enrolling with Te Ohomai at the Waiariki Camus in Rotorua,
then read on.
As a qualified teacher and tertiary lecturer (retired but active),
I Know there are some students who have been let down by their secondary school.
They may not feel confidant about approaching academic studies
- in reading to understand text books, articles, lessons ...
They may not be confidant about approaching academic writing
- essays, assignments, reports, reviews ...
I am (as Red Penn Services) offering private tuition in a family environment to help address such difficulties.
I have tutored for pre-employment in the use of IT software, and in tertiary reading and writing.
I did this for "Step By Step" (who were contracted to WINZ).
I used SBS resources, but found my own methods helped more students,
some of which went on to create their own job - self-employed in their field of interest.
I have had students come to me, then go on to Ave their academic and/or Trade studies.
I am Confidant I can help almost anyone.
I will tutor one-on-one, supply resources for my student to take away for future reference,
and will focus on what each student needs.
Rate is hourly, and invoices and receipts supplied.
Please contact me via (close the gaps and replace the words with symbols)...

Queries here, tho' email preferred. Studies begin late February.
Latest scams to look out for 👀
Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:
NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.

NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.
Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.
