One of the biggest drawcards to Rotorua has gone. Every Sunday my partner and I would go and enjoy a cup of coffee and pot of chips and wonder about all the stalls, I am sure it will be very much missed and a lot of people will be out of pocket over the craft they make and sell. I am sure there must be other places for the craft stalls to be held.

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)...

Red Penn at Hotmail dot com

Queries here, tho' email preferred. Studies begin late February.
