    2U Maths Tutor Needed (:

    I'm a Ext 1 student who is in need of a 2U maths tutor in the Canterbury/Bankstown district. As my school is in the city, any libraries in the city for tuition are easily accessible for me -- this is for people that have uni on weekdays that wouldn't mind tutoring me after uni.

    Traditional of Simplified characters, and why?

    I personally prefer traditional, because it looks more 'correct' but i'm happy that i'm even learning Chinese traditional or not. Traditional looks really nice in essays =) Sounds crazy but its true!
