My Tutor Friend 2 Simulates High School!

My Tutor Friend 2 Simulates High School!My Tutor Friend 2 is a micro-simulation of high school, taking the students from one week of classes to another. The micro-simulation is based on certain mathematical principles that allows students to learn skills without having to spend the whole day in one classroom. These principles are mentioned below.It should be mentioned that there is a different method for teaching in the world of My Tutor Friend. The true 'school' is teaching. My Tutor Friend is teaching the students without spending all the time in one class.My Tutor Friend teaches the students by stimulating their mind and making them see the relationship between words and facts. They are taught what they can do, with a series of instructions and the students are given the chance to answer it. Students should see the possible combinations of words they can come up with, and by this process they will see how to combine words and sentences.My Tutor Friend is the student's tutor. When the student wants to ask questions, he can easily ask the teacher who will provide an answer. There is no difference between the tutor and the teacher.When the students learn how to use simple instructions such as 'Use X to Y', they are taught to solve many problems. They are not taught to solve the problem they get. In the later part of the learning process, when they are taught the combination of words and sentences, they are taught the combination of words and sentences. The combination of words and sentences creates the formula to solve the problem.Some of the students think that they are learning very fast, but the truth is that they are only learning by the little bit each day. For example, they will learn how to copy the number of times the word 'one' appears. But they are not learning how to do the same with a single word.My Tutor Friend does not cost too much. It is only two dollars per week and a tutor can teach the students all their lessons for a week.

(Source: rawpixel)As a teacher in a foreign country, you may not enjoy all the benefits you have as a teacher in the UK. However, in some cases, you enjoy even more benefits.That said, there are a nu mber of different options teachers have or working abroad:In a British school abroadIn a private establishment or local schoolingIn an overseas territoryAlso in terms of your stay:Short termLong-termIn some cases, you may even move abroad, back to the UK, and then back to the same foreign country or a different one. There's nothing stopping you from getting jobs overseas and travelling around the world.However, if you move between several countries in a short space of time, it's unlikely that you'll gain the status of a permanent resident and enjoy all the benefits that come with the status. Similarly, a recruiter may be hesitant to hire someone to teach a TEFL course if they constantly travel abroad, go back home, or then move onto somewhere else.Of course, if you're a certified ESL teacher (either with a CELTA or a TEFL qualification, for example) with a lot of experience, it'll be hard for your potential employer to reject your application.There are also a number of steps you hav e to take in order to enjoy these kinds of statuses and all were different benefits that come with them. In fact, teaching abroad is sometimes a compromise between escaping the British educational system while also losing any benefits that come with being a part of it.When it comes to applying to jobs in other countries, the application processes can be very different from what you're used to in the UK.For example, in some educational systems, you can't apply directly to the school where you want to work and are instead sent to schools where teachers are needed.While this might be an interesting prospect for more adventurous teachers, it's not ideal for those who have their hearts set on a particular place for establishments.  Thus, some teachers have absolutely no say in where they teach.Step One: Creating Your Application for a Given PositionThere are two main ways to do this:Apply to job offersApply directly to establishments you’d be interested in working for.Before you get a job abroad, you'll have to apply to one. (Source: StartupStockPhotos)In both cases, you'll be expected to prove your qualifications and your experience with copies of said qualifications and references from previous or current employers. If you want to become a teacher abroad, it can help to already be a teacher in the UK. Having language qualifications can also be very useful.The teacher looking to work abroad should make sure that they prepare their application well in advance and not at the very last moment.Candidates will have to follow the application procedure, which can vary wildly depending on where you are applying to. For example, applying to state schools in certain countries has a stringent application procedure that requires almost two years of training and tests. Additionally, you will need to prove your experience and your qualifications.You should know that the PGCE is rarely accepted outside of the UK, except in British schools.Generally speaking, you will see job a dverts appear before the summer holidays as schools and educational establishments look for teachers for the upcoming year. That said, there are also positions advertised at short notice.  These are usually when a teacher falls ill or goes on maternity leave.The application will usually include:A covering letter and your CV.A number of documents such as a copy of your degree certificates or any other teaching qualifications, your language qualifications, copies of your passport or ID, for example.While we live in the digital age, many institutions and establishments still required paper copies of applications.A lot of those teaching overseas choose to teach English. This is because teaching English is something you can do without a PGCE. When it comes to teaching English abroad as a foreign language (commonly known as TEFL), being a native English speaker is sometimes the only qualification you need.However, a language school with such low requirements probably won't be very good. A good school will probably require a TEFL certification or that their teachers be qualified teachers in the UK.When it comes to these types of jobs abroad, be them in Asia, Africa, Europe, or the Americas, the more requirements the school has for the teacher, the better the teaching jobs tend to be.Once you've sent your application, what's next? What should you do?Step Two: Accepting a Position Outside of the UKIn most cases, you will know well in advance of your start date whether or not your application has been successful. There are two possible outcomes:They reject your applicationOr you will be called to an interview or given the job.Depending on where you're going, there'll be different administrative steps to follow. (Source: 12019)It's very likely that during your application your language level will be tested. While this isn't very common if you teach English as a foreign language because you're expected to always teach in English, it's a fairly common part of the recruitme nt process for teaching opportunities in regions and countries where there are very few English speakers.Following the interview procedure, establishments usually select candidates. In some cases, candidates will be shortlisted before being chosen, which can make the application and selection process take more time. Unsuccessful candidates are usually informed that they have not been chosen.As we said, teachers are usually chosen before the start of the new school year. Usually, foreign teachers are told well enough in advance to prepare their move to their new country.Since this step is usually the hardest, you'll have to put a lot of effort into preparing your application.  Keep in mind that even really good applications are sometimes rejected. You mightn't always get your first choice.If your application is accepted, it'll be time to move on to the third step, the administration.Step Three: The Administrative StepsIn terms of administration, you'll be expected to provide a lot of documents and, in some cases, official translations of said documents when you apply to different  teaching positions. Then, you'll have to start preparing for your life abroad by are looking for accommodation and getting a visa, if necessary.If you're not sure of about where you're going, your new job, the work you have to do, or anything else about living abroad, there are plenty of places where you can get help and information on how to teach abroad.Don't forget to make a list of all the things you have to do before moving abroad. (Source: Free-Photos)One of the advantages of working abroad is the possibility of joining interesting and multicultural teams. As with everything, there'll be paperwork.While English teaching is the most common path teachers take, you could always teach other subjects in an international school. Admittedly, it's easier to find a teaching job abroad if you're an English teacher willing to teach TEFL courses but it's not the only route when it comes to international teaching.If you speak a second language, there are plenty of ways to earn money as a private tutor. You could teach English to students privately to bolster your earnings while you find a job or enjoy a gap year in a country that you're fascinated by.The only real downside to working for yourself is that you'll have no employer to sponsor a work visa for you if it's required. If you do an internship or work as a language assistant in a foreign classroom, you often are given visas and helped with the paperwork to enter the country legally.Universities are often recruiting native English speakers to teach as language assistants as well. Since these programmes are designed for foreign students, getting the paperwork done tends to be a little easier. However, these programmes are usually for a single academic year and you'll have to find other work once your placement is over.Whether you're teaching in a state school, a religious school, a private school, or an independent academy, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to teaching abroad. You can discover a different type of educational system while learning about new cultures and languages at the same time. If teaching in the UK is getting you down, teaching abroad could be the ideal solution.

Forty Years of Helping Students

Forty Years of Helping Students Huntington Learning Center is celebrating its 40th year of helping students unlock their academic potential. Since its founding in 1977 by Dr. Raymond and Mrs. Eileen Huntington, the company has helped millions of students of all ages and abilities learn the skills they need to excel in school, improve their study habits and build self-confidence. As schools across the country struggle to keep up with the demands of an increasingly complex global economy, Huntingtons commitment to our childrens educational success has become more important than ever. A 2015 Program for International Student Assessment study showed that 15-year-old students in the U.S. ranked just 24th out of 72 educational systems in average reading literacy, and only 40th in math literacy. Additional studies show the U.S. lagging behind in other critical areas as well: 17th out of 40 in overall educational performance and 6th out of 49 in fourth grade reading. This academic gap has created a tremendous need for specialized skills-based tutoring and test prep. Huntington works exclusively with certified tutors to deliver individualized instruction across a wide range of academic areas to students from kindergarten through high school. To help ensure consistent results, the company has designed a proprietary 4-step approach that includes a comprehensive evaluation, personalized learning plan, individual tutoring and regular communication with families and schools. The results have been profound. On average, Huntington students increase two or more grade levels in reading and math over a three-month period. Average SAT scores increase 192 points after a two-and-a-half month program, while ACT scores increase an average of four points. When Eileen and I started this company four decades ago, our hope was to help children who were struggling to keep up in school and give them the one-to-one supplemental instruction they needed to boost their confidence and their grades, says Dr. Huntington. Today, we are simply astonished by the results weve seen. The companys success is grounded in its mission, which is to give every student the best education possible. Huntington is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools as well as the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and is one of the nations first approved supplemental education services providers under No Child Left Behind. Eileen Huntington, co-founder and CEO, adds, While weve received numerous awards and accolades over the past 40 years, our greatest joy is knowing we have helped millions of students gain the skills, confidence and motivation they need to succeed. This commitment to their students has led to tremendous demand and expansion. In 1985, the company began franchising outside of New Jersey and Philadelphia, growing to 148 franchised centers by 2000. Today, it operates nearly 300 centers in 38 states from coast to coast. We have so much to celebrate, says Dr. Huntington. To have reached 40 years in business is something that makes us incredibly proud knowing that we have changed so many students and parents lives. Despite this enormous growth, Huntington remains a family owned and operated company. Dr. Raymond and Mrs. Eileen Huntington are proud to welcome the next generation into the business to continue the mission. We look forward to the next forty-plus years of changing students' lives across America, adds their daughter, Anne Huntington, who is actively involved in all aspects of the business as head of partnerships and development. About Huntington Learning Center Huntington Learning Center is the premier national tutoring and test prep provider for the K-12 market with locations in 38 states.

Afinal, você literalmente pode dizer literally apenas para dar ênfase

Afinal, você literalmente pode dizer literally apenas para dar ênfase Gualberto107 / FreeDigitalPhotos.netExistem termos que, mesmo para falantes nativos, podem causar muita confusão. Um destes termos é a palavra literally, que se traduz para literalmente. Não é raro encontrar pessoas que usem a palavra literally quando o correto seria dizer metaphorically  ou adicionar outra palavra para dar ênfase. Por exemplo: I have literally received thousands of letters. A não ser que eu efetivamente tenha recebido milhares de cartas, a palavra literally estaria sendo mal empregada, dado que, literalmente, eu não recebi milhares de cartas.Esta é um discussão recorrente, tanto que em várias séries como How I Met Your Mother, por exemplo, existem dicussões sobre o uso impróprio da palavra. No entanto, hoje, encontrei um artigo que pode mudar o rumo dessas conversas. De acordo com a notícia, o Oxford English Dictionary adicionou um novo significado para a palavra literally, fazendo com que seja correto, em ambiente informal, usar essa palavra para dar ênfase a uma ideia. Portanto, se em uma conversa com amigos eu disser: I have literally received thousands of letters, não vou estar a cometer nenhum erro crasso. Contudo, se for em um ambiente formal, é preferível não usar esta construção. Vale referir que essa alteração foi feita há dois anos, mas, por algum motivo, as pessoas só deram conta da alteração agora.Para dizer a verdade, embora muitas pessoas tenham ficado completamente estarrecidas com a adição dessa explicação, que permite que a palavra literally  seja usada como um auxiliar para o exagero no discurso, o Telegraph apontou o fato de que esse uso não é nada de novo, não é apenas uma modinha que o dicionário resolveu acolher. Segundo Fiona McPherson, editora sênior do Oxford English Dictionary, até Mark Twain usava a palavra como uma alegoria para o exagero. McPherson comentou também que o seu trabalho é retratar a língua como ela é falada, por isso, se houve essa alteração no dicionário é porque as pessoas usam a palavra dessa forma e o dicionário tem de acompanhar a evolução da linguagem.Veja a explicação sobre o uso da palavra literally:In its standard use,  literally  means ‘in a literal sense, as opposed to a nonliteral or exaggerated sense’:  I told him I never wanted to see him again, but I didn’t expect him to take it  literally. In recent years, an extended use of  literally(and also  literal) has become very common, where  literally  (or  literal) is used deliberately in nonliteral contexts, for added effect:  they bought the car and  literally  ran it into the ground. This use can lead to unintentional humorous effects (we were  literally  killing ourselves laughing) and is not acceptable in formal English.

Sincerity and Success in Student Networking?

Sincerity and Success in Student Networking? Student Networking Tips? From An Irvine College Consultant It’s more important now than ever for teens to start networking the minute they arrive on campus. However, many students have not yet determined the minute but all important differences between genuine and insincere networking. Although making connections is important, students should ensure that all of their interactions are genuine and that they have something to offer their connections in return. When done right, networking can lead to fabulous job opportunities in the future. However, insincere interactions can go disastrously wrong. 1. Networking is a Two-Way Street It’s important to remember that students are all at the same point in life and that they can help each other out. This doesn’t mean that every favor must be kept in record and returned in kind but one-way networkers are usually left out in the cold.   If it’s not possible for a student to add significantly to their networking community, they should understand the inherent value of a “thank you” note. Simple acknowledgment is a form of networking in and of itself (CLICK: The dos and donts of student networking). 2.  The Power of “Please” and “Thank You” Many students receive recommendations or opportunities that they cannot repay. Generation Y should never forget the power of a handwritten thank you note. Email, texts, and eCards are not appropriate when it comes to a proper “thank you” within the professional networking system. If a professor, classmate, or any other member of the professional networking community does someone a genuine favor, a hand written “thank you” note should always be provided. This is something that was common and mandatory for Generation X but is quickly falling by the wayside. The formality of “please” and “thank you” never goes out of style. 3. Networking with a Professor or Professional in the Field When networking with seasoned professionals, it’s important to either pay it forward or pay it back. If a professor or professional writes a letter of recommendation or offers an interview, it’s important that students provide appropriate positive feedback on job sites or offer to write a letter of recommendation for said professional. students should be advised that, if theyre not able to provide a networking opportunity in return, they can certainly pay it forward in the future. Graduates of 2015 will be seasoned professionals in 2025 and are advised to provide the same internship opportunities, interviews, or tips and tricks of the trade to the next generation when the time comes. 4. Study Group Etiquette Students are advised to remember appropriate study group etiquette. Students are expected to contribute to the group as a whole and to participate fully in group projects. This can be especially difficult for students who attend a college or university that grades on a curve. Many students are concerned about their graduation ranking and become overly concerned with a sink-or-swim academic situation. It’s important for students to both protect themselves and continue to add to their student community in productive and appropriate ways. If nothing else, it will be a great learning experience for future on-the-job experiences (READ: How to Make Extracurricular Activities Extra Significant) 5. Volunteer or Start a Club Volunteering is one of the best ways that a student can network because, once in junior year, many students do not have a chance to network outside of their own major. In reality, the vast majority of American students will work with an amalgam of people with different educational backgrounds once they start their career. Volunteering in a club that attracts students from across the campus will allow students to have a chance to gain different perspectives and network across a broad spectrum. Better yet, students who have an entrepreneurial spirit are encouraged start a club. Although a vast time commitment is required, students who maintain the authority to start and keep a club going will often be viewed as leaders and can receive the respect and admiration of their peers. Leadership skills and an entrepreneurial spirit are both fabulous qualities to demonstrate as a student networker. All blog entries, with the exception of guest bloggers, are written by Tutor Nerds.

Tips for Sophomores and Juniors Summer To-Do List

Tips for Sophomores and Juniors Summer To-Do List Tips From a Private Irvine Tutor | Rising Sophomores and Juniors: Summer To-Do List Tips From a Private Irvine Tutor | Rising Sophomores and Juniors: Summer To-Do List There are countless information and advice available for incoming freshmen and students who will be entering the workforce for the first time this fall. However, there are plenty of things that rising sophomores and juniors in college can do this summer that will help them be successful as well. Students who are in the middle of their college career should consider reviewing important information from past courses, should look for internships and internship-like situations, and should look for ways to streamline their class schedule. The more efficient students are throughout their entire college career, the more likely they will be to graduate in four years and have a successful and invigorating post-secondary learning experience become a more efficient college student with the help of an Orange County summer tutor. 1. Create a flexible internship situation Although internships are highly competitive (and not that easy to come by these days), college students can learn just as much by doing an unofficial internship. This may include working with a professor or professional in their major field of study who will allow the student to shadow them throughout the workday. In this situation, the student will learn a lot about the field or the workplace and can gain valuable skills about choosing a major or learning where to get started in the business. Although they may not be able to put these skills on their resume as an ‘internship’, they can gain valuable information about future and career. 2. Review past material Many students ‘luck out’ when it comes to a test or two. If this is the case, it might be a good idea to review material that may have been overlooked. Although some students may have breezed through finals and then promptly forgotten a lot of important information, they are reminded that English 1A is followed by English 1B. If a student had to know how to write a 5 page paper using MLA format with every comma in its place last year, they will probably have to write a 10 page paper using MLA format this year. Students who feel iffy about the material they learned in the past year are encouraged to review said material over the summer. A day or two of review could potentially save a student hours upon hours of wasted time during the fall semester (READ: 10 Study Tips from an Irvine History Tutor). 3. Get started on a career search Although it may seem totally overwhelming for a rising sophomore or junior to start thinking about their career, its a smart thing to do given the nation’s current economic and employment situation. It would be better for a student to find out early on that one thing or another might not work out or that their dream job may require additional study or funding. This way they can still change their path relatively easily or prepare for a potentially tumultuous career search. Many outgoing seniors are discouraged to find out that it takes them over a year to land a good starting position because they havent done an internship or certification program needed to start in their field. Additionally, many seniors find out a little too late that the field they dreamed of entering requires a Masters degree or other additional education that they cannot afford at this point in her life. However, if a student finds out this information earlier on in their college career, they have a better cha nce of getting certain things out of the way so they can enjoy their dream job earlier rather than later. 4. Make connections The importance of making connections prior to graduating from college cant be stressed enough. Many new grads find that they didnt get enough references or that they dont have enough fluid connections, those that continue to be updated through friendships and current professional connections, to help them with their initial job search. Students who work on making connections sophomore and junior year can finish college with a long list of people to call for help when it comes to education and work (READ: The 2016 SAT: Vocabulary vs. Vocabulary in Context). Bottom line Although many college students only think about using the summer as a way to either make money or take summer school, there are many things they can do that can be highly beneficial to the efficiency of their fall semester and potential career choices down the road. Students who spend just a few hours making connections, reviewing past material, and learning how to streamline their curriculum will have a much easier start to the next semester.
