It’s only $10 for homeschoolers – just say that you are homeschooling and you can pay $10 instead of $50.
That gets you access to the site for the whole year and to all of the languages (French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Japanese, Maori & Indonesian). Plus it makes a big difference in your English spelling too  They have a free trial if you want to check it out. www.languageperfect.co.nz

Technology Teacher Bill Bassett has a new website. Bill teaches technology to home educated students. The classes are for students from age 10 up, and cover electronics, woodwork and metalwork, and can be done in conjunction with a TCS course for teens seeking NCEA credits in technology (since Bill is a registered teacher).
See his website for his prices . There are 4 students per class so they get plenty of 1:1 support. His workshop is in Papakura -not far from the motorway offramp.
