Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

If this cold snap is getting to you but you're worried about the cost of cranking up your heating, don't despair.

We asked the energy experts to breakdown the running costs of all our favourite winter warmers, so you can work out how to get the best heating bang for your buck.

If this cold snap is getting to you but you're worried about the cost of cranking up your heating, don't despair.

We asked the energy experts to breakdown the running costs of all our favourite winter warmers, so you can work out how to get the best heating bang for your buck.

And while it's no shock that firing up a 2Kw electric heater doesn't come cheap, the price of a warm bed for a toasty night's sleep might surprise you. Check out the full rundown, including electric blankets, hot showers, heated towel rails and more, here.

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 was the last time you wrote a letter by hand?

The Team from Auckland Museum

Can you imagine paper being so sparse and contact between loved ones so infrequent that you'd use every last inch of paper when writing letters?

Such was the case in the early 1800s when New Zealand faced a paper famine. Letter writing was essential to keep in touch but with such limited … View more
Can you imagine paper being so sparse and contact between loved ones so infrequent that you'd use every last inch of paper when writing letters?

Such was the case in the early 1800s when New Zealand faced a paper famine. Letter writing was essential to keep in touch but with such limited paper available the technique of 'crossed letters' was adopted.

The writer would turn the page ninety degrees after finishing a page and add a second layer of text.
