Struggle with everyday maths?
Hi Neighbours
It’s Karen here, from my new business Maths4Adults. Is there an adult in your life who struggles with everyday maths? Maybe they’d like to help their children with homework, apply for a job handling money, calculate discounts or just to feel more confident using maths.
I’m an experienced, friendly, patient tutor here in Nelson keen to support adults to achieve their life goals. Some of you will already know me as a primary tutor under my Maths Spies business, but now I’m a qualified adult educator too.
I volunteer at Literacy Aotearoa helping adult students with their Learner Driver Theory and am in my 5th year of being a mentor for Big Brother Big Sister. When I’m not tutoring I’m up a hill or on the water, enjoying the great outdoors in lovely Nelson.
Call me to discuss how I can help: 021 216 3395
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
