High School Science and Mathematics Tutoring

Akash from The Self-Employed Tutor

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If the student finds that the tutor (me) is not suitable for their needs, then they may be withdrawn from my lessons at no extra cost (they still need to pay for any lessons that they attend, that is all).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).

Ego & Arrogance Causes a Mighty Fall (Day - 2)

Kiran Reddy from Mount Eden

In a lush forest known as Greenvale, there was a powerful lion named Rudo. Rudo was the undisputed king of the forest. Tall and strong, with a magnificent golden mane, he ruled the animals with an iron paw. His roars echoed through the forest, a reminder to every creature that Rudo was the ultimate ruler. But as time went on, his pride grew, and so did his arrogance. He dismissed the smaller animals and ignored the advice of his wise old advisor, an owl named Sable, who constantly urged him to rule with kindness and respect.

Meanwhile, in Greenvale’s quiet northern corner, a clever young fox named Finnegan had been growing popular. Unlike Rudo, Finnegan was not strong or fierce, but he was cunning, resourceful, and compassionate. He helped animals in need, shared food with the hungry, and listened to everyone, big or small. The animals in Greenvale admired him and trusted him more than they did the mighty Rudo.

One day, Finnegan cautiously approached Rudo to suggest a partnership. "Rudo, the animals are growing unhappy. They fear you, but they don’t respect you. If we work together, I believe we could make Greenvale thrive."

Rudo laughed scornfully. "Why would I need help from a lowly fox like you? Go back to your burrow before I remind you who rules here."

Hurt but undeterred, Finnegan left, determined to continue serving the animals in his own way. But Sable, the wise owl, had heard everything. She knew that Rudo’s pride would be his downfall if he didn’t change.

Soon, a drought hit Greenvale. Streams dried up, and food became scarce. The animals were growing weaker and desperate. Rudo, refusing to leave his pride aside, hoarded what little water remained, drinking from a secret pool known only to him. The other animals were left to fend for themselves, growing hungrier and angrier each day.

Finnegan, however, gathered a team of animals willing to work together. He instructed the beavers to dig deep channels to find hidden water and asked the birds to scout for fruits and nuts in distant areas. Slowly, the animals began to thrive under Finnegan’s leadership, sharing resources and surviving despite the drought.

Eventually, word spread through the forest that Finnegan’s coalition was thriving while Rudo’s group grew weaker. Even some of Rudo’s loyal followers began to join Finnegan, realizing that he offered them the kindness and collaboration they needed.

Days passed, and the once-mighty Rudo was now left with only a few supporters. Alone and desperate, he was forced to wander the forest, searching for food and water just as the smaller animals once had. One day, he encountered Sable, who hooted at him knowingly. "Remember, Rudo, strength without respect is meaningless. True power comes from earning the trust of others."

Humbled, Rudo approached Finnegan, his head lowered. "I was wrong, Finnegan. I let my pride cloud my judgment. Will you help me now?"

Finnegan nodded, extending a friendly paw. "The forest belongs to all of us, Rudo. Together, we can make it strong again."

With Finnegan’s guidance and the cooperation of all the animals, Greenvale flourished once more. Rudo learned to listen to others and treated the smallest animals with respect. In time, he regained his place in the forest hierarchy—not as a feared tyrant, but as a trusted leader.

From that day on, Rudo understood that even the mightiest can fall if they let arrogance guide them. And so, Greenvale became a forest where strength and wisdom walked paw-in-paw, and every creature learned the value of respect and humility.
