How to Become a Chemistry Tutor

How to Become a Chemistry TutorWhen the chemistry tutor, or individual wishing to obtain the class is looking for a method of becoming certified, the popular suggestion has always been through taking the Exam available from a school offering it. However, there are actually a number of ways to go about acquiring a teaching certificate.To begin with, there are many different kinds of chemistry tutors available. Some of these tutors require the candidate to obtain certification in a single school or in a particular region. For instance, if the tutoring candidate wishes to be accredited in the UK, then they will need to obtain their certification from a specific school.Okay, so perhaps you have figured out this doesn't make any sense to you. Well, it certainly does not apply to you. Why? Simply because there are many schools around the world offering tutoring for students.For example, you may consider a tutor at your local college or university. Yes, many offer certification in areas tha t include Chemistry, and you may want to try those options.However, I would suggest that you check out the eligibility criteria as well. In some cases, they are hard to get into, or simply cost a lot of money. Of course, if you really are interested in getting into the certification program, then it would be in your best interest to pay the fees!Then again, perhaps you would like to learn about a specific teacher's hands on experience. In this case, you may find it in your best interest to go and attend one of their workshops. The benefit to this is that the tutors can actually work side by side with you, without needing to spend thousands of dollars on travel expenses.Of course, you may be asking why pay for your own private tutor when you could just go out and try the free ones. The good news is that, yes, you can learn on your own. You can also benefit from the teacher's guidance, but the only catch is that you may have to pay for the class.Of course, these are all only two of th e main factors to consider when you are trying to decide whether or not to attend a seminar or workshop. If you have tried looking online for examples of successful student tutors, then perhaps you would like to try searching them out yourself. After all, that is what will give you the most accurate picture of whether or not this is a good idea for you!

First Tutors goes free to attract new tutors

First Tutors goes free to attract new tutors As the busiest period in the private tuition calendar approaches, First Tutors, www.firsttutors.com/uk, has made advertising tuition services free of charge for tutors across the country. The award-winning website, which already helps over 10,000 tutors to promote their lessons locally hopes that by making the website free-of-charge for tutors this spring, it will attract many more, building supply to meet seasonal demand in the pre-exam revision period. Thousands of families now use the online service every month to find private tutors because it profiles family reviews of tutors and provides a much more affordable alternative to a tuition agency. Many families search for help with school subjects such as English and Maths, but First Tutors has also begun listing tutors to help adults and children alike in learning languages, musical instruments and arts, as well as IT and Business-related subjects such as accountancy and law for professional learners. New tutors are increasingly coming from varied walks of life, for example, bankers preparing professionals for finance exams, actors tutoring drama and elocution, teachers topping up their incomes with a few hours of school entrance tutoring, or PhD and post-graduate medicine students helping struggling undergraduates to get ahead. The hourly fees are determined by each tutor and vary by subject discipline and locality, with tutors charging a nationwide average of 17.50 per hour. First Tutors will be gathering feedback from clients over the next few months on the impact of this change and will review accordingly.

All The Places Ive Been While Taking Online Language Courses With italki

All The Places I’ve Been While Taking Online Language Courses With italki One of our italki Language Challengers,  Anil Polat runs a self-travel blog called foXnoMad.  Hes been taking sessions even before the Challenge and is already at 6 weeks where he began Arabic with absolutely no ability.  For our Challengers, this is something that you can expect after you complete the Challenge!  He only did 19 hours so far (at 6 weeks) but its pretty close.  Reprinted with permission. Original article here. For you Language Challengers out there Anil travels the world and manages to squeeze in language lessons on italki. Not only that, but hes taking the Language Challenge to boot! If this guy can do it with just a backpack, you have no excuses! You can’t help but be amazed by the Internet when you’ve been attending a virtual classroom with teachers from all over the world while traveling and blogging for a living. But that is exactly what I’ve been doing since I began taking Arabic lessons on italki in December. Despite shifting timezones, a long layover or two in Istanbul plus the occasional rickshaw traffic jam, I’ve learn to read, write, and speak Arabic conversationally. These are the 7 cities across 3 countries, from the developed to developing world, where I’ve been able to log in most days for class. Sofia, Bulgaria Although Bulgaria doesn’t quite have the amazing Internet speeds of neighbor Romania, in Sofia the average download is faster than 90% of the world. Maintaining a solid Skype connection was never an issue, at least on my end. Varna, Bulgaria Despite being a 5 hour grandmother’s drive from Sofia, by the time I got to this Black Sea coastal town I hadpicked up quite a bit of Arabic. Istanbul, Turkey There are always late nights in Istanbul but I made sure to set aside some time during the day for an Arabic lesson. New Delhi, India This being my fifth (or sixth, I can never remember) visit to India, I was well prepared for the first 48 hoursâ€" during which I was able to get in two lessons. Varanasi, India The Internet in Hinduism’s holiest city wasn’t the easiest to work with but the Arabic teachers I have developed a routine with were very flexible. My regular teacher Ali has especially made reschedulingaround flaky Internet connections very easy. Agra, India I have visited the Taj Mahal three times and can further confirm, it’s one of 5 popular tourist destinations that won’t disappoint you. Jaipur, India Where I am currently typing this from, a few hours before my next Arabic lesson using italki. Location Language Independence Even learning to speak tourist before your next vacation takes some time, a commodity that oddly can be scarce when traveling. Programs that don’t have a human element are great for some basic phrases you should know everywhere, but having a teacher can force you to stay committed if you want to go a lingual level deeper. Even a few hours on italki can teach you the slang, local bargaining skills, or colorful curse words to give you a much more local experience.

Would Children Be Sent Away For Tutoring?

Would Children Be Sent Away For Tutoring?As a parent, it is quite natural to want to know if I would children would be sent away for tutoring. How long would they be there? Who would take care of them? These are some of the questions that parents ask.The reality is that this will not happen. Unless your child is being punished in some way, and this has been proven to you, they are most likely going to stay in your home. What about education? Some children are already in school. Some schools allow a home schooling arrangement, but they are usually limited to one or two classes a week.For the most part, unless your child has a disability, which is very rare, they are a classroom student that will still attend school everyday. For children with special needs, it can sometimes be more difficult.Would you want your child to go to school every day? It seems that everyone would think that is the only possible solution, but it just isn't realistic. Your child would still get an education, an d your child would be in a place where the child would be learning more than they did before, and that would make them happier.Where would your child be placed? At your house? At a school?So now you might be asking, what about all the time spent at school? Well, this time will be used to teach your child how to go about everyday life, which would make your child more confident, more able to complete all their tasks, and would not leave your child wondering if they would be sent away for tutoring the next day.Another benefit to sending your child to school is that they would see many other kids their age. The best thing is that you could introduce your child to many different types of friends.

7 Famous Guitarists Who Overcame Setbacks - What Ive Learned

7 Famous Guitarists Who Overcame Setbacks - What Ive Learned Suzy S. Making it as a musician isnt always easy but its also not impossible! In this guest post, Ged Richardson from Zinginstruments shares what hes learned from seven  famous guitarists who overcame the odds   Tired of getting knocked back? Feeling like your time as a world-famous guitarist will never come? Downright depressed about trying to make it in the music industry? Yup. I know the feeling. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? But here’s the thing: what you’re feeling is completely normal. In fact, some of the best, most talented musicians experienced the very same feeling as you. Dont believe me? Here are seven  examples of how persistence and dogged determinism helped make the world’s greatest guitarists and musicians. 1. Elvis Presley If I told you the King, yes no other than Elvis Presley, was given his marching orders before his career took off, you’d think I was kidding right? No, I’m serious! Elvis was told by the concert hall manager in the Grand Ole Opry (a famous venue in Nashville) in no uncertain terms “You ain’t going nowhere, son. You ought to go back to driving a truck.” Looking back, that concert hall manager couldn’t have been more wrong. Someone needs to eat several King-size portions of humble pie. 2. Noel Gallagher Before songwriter and guitarist Noel Gallagher shot to fame in the 1990s with his band Oasis,  he endured a lifetimes worth of setbacks. He battled through family strife, expulsion from school, and dead-end jobs but he persevered with his music, writing three of his most popular songs (including Live Forever) in what he referred to as the The Hit Hut (which was in fact a storehouse at the company he was working for at the time!). Did success come quickly thereafter? Not at all. He auditioned as a singer for the popular indie band Inspiral Carpets and was promptly rejected. Instead, they  gave him  a job on the tour crew for two years. Tour crew! Now look where he is filling arenas around the globe. Some achievement, I would say. 3. Django Reinhardt In 1920s France, a bright new star was stunning audiences in the Parisian music halls with his virtuoso guitar playing. He was called Django Reinhardt. At the tender age of 18, Django got his first major gig with English band leader Jack Hylton, quite an accomplishment for an uneducated Romani Gypsy. But tragedy struck soon after. A fire broke out in his caravan and he was badly injured. He injured his left hand, paralyzing all but two fingers on his fretting hand. For many this would be the end of their playing career. But not for Django, who worked out a way to play the guitar using his two working fingers. He went on to create a whole new genre of his own with Stéphane Grappelli, known as ‘Gypsy Jazz,’ and the rest is history, as they say. 4. Paul McCartney Songwriter and bassist Paul McCartney  is the picture of charisma and confidence on stage when you see that old footage of the Beatles. But looks can be deceiving. Sir Paul was prone to bouts of stage fright, often rendering him useless in front of screaming fans. Interviewed by the NME in 2009, he said: “So I remember being on the steps of Wembley Town Hall, literally getting ill with nerves, and thinking, Ive got to give this business up, this is no good.’” If he can play through the nerves, so can you. 5. Pat Martino This jazz musician  is one of the most revered and famous guitarists  in the industry. Was it all a ride in the park for him? Far from it. Pat Martino was already established as a heavyweight guitar player, but at the age of 36 he suffered a brain aneurysm that  put him out of action. And that’s putting it mildly. Surgery resulted in amnesia and loss of his ability to play guitar. Quite a setback for a guitarist. With dogged determination he managed to relearn the instrument, while battling what he called ‘near-suicidal’ levels of sorrow. In 2004, Martino was named Guitar Player of the Year in Downbeat Magazines Readers Poll. Some turn-around, don’t you think? 6. Bob Dylan In the late 1960s, folk-singing troubadour Bob Dylan was pretty untouchable influencing the Beatles, among others. Or so he thought. When he toured the UK in 1966 playing a new electric sound, it quickly became apparent that his audience hated the new sound! Bob and his band were jeered and heckled throughout the shows, culminating in one resentful fan shouting ‘Judas.’ Did he succumb to the pressure and go back to playing folk guitar? Heck no. He powered through, ignored the naysayers and invented a new form of electric folk-based pop. We wouldn’t have classics such as Like a Rolling Stone if he’d given up. 7. Seasick Steve The American blues guitarist Seasick Steve didn’t have it easy on his route to stardom either. Leaving home at the age of 13 to avoid abuse at the hands of his stepfather, he lived as a hobo for many years, catching rides by hopping on freight trains as he sought work as a farm laborer. His rise to stardom didn’t come quickly or easily, but he persisted and eventually established himself as one of today’s best blues guitarists. He attributes much of his unlikely success to his cheap and weather-beaten guitar, The Trance Wonder. But I  think it was more a case of a spoonful of talent and a whole lot of hard work, persistence, and determination. Conclusion So there you have it seven  cases of success against all odds. It’s both humbling and motivating to learn that these famous guitarists were knocked back in some way,  but crucially overcame their obstacles to come  up on top. The lesson here? Frustration and adversity can help you   if you use it to fire you up. Never give up. If you want it badly enough, you can make it happen! Classical guitarist Andres Segovia famously said: The day I stop playing guitar will be the day after my death. Now there’s perseverance!

Find Out the Secrets of the Top Music Bloggers

Find Out the Secrets of the Top Music Bloggers Suzy S. Do you have a music blog, or aspire to start one? Whether youre hoping to get into music journalism or if you simply want to publish concert album reviews for your friends, blogging is a great way to sound off on all things music. But if you want to become the next hot music blogger, youll need to get ahead of the pack.   Just being a music fan isnt enough these days, so check out these industry secrets (courtesy of Mashable.com) to get you on your way 1. Hot For Teacher Yes, it seems like a rather obvious tip, but to write about music, you need to know about music â€"- and not just the vinyl in your own record collection. Andrew Phillips, former editor in chief of MOG, advises: “Listen to an inconceivable amount of music, especially if you don’t like it. There’s a huge difference between being a music fan and a music advocate…. The most effective bloggers (and writers) are the ones drawing from a genuinely deep well of knowledge.” And don’t limit the fact-finding mission to sitting in your room like a tragically hip, headphoned Boo Radley â€"- go to shows. Go to “good” shows, bad shows, basement shows, loft shows, shows where the only people in the audience are you and the bartender. You never know who’s going to be the next big thing; as Nicole Wasilewicz, senior music editor of FREEwilliamsburg.com, says, “As knowledgeable as you may feel about music, there’s always someone out there that’s smarter than you and has more time on their hands. It’s a constant game of catch-up. Also, pay special attention to opening bands.” 2. Cant Buy Me Love So you’re all studied up and ready to write. The only question is: To what illustrious publication should you lend your vast and impressive skills? Well, if you’re skint on experience, chances are that unless you’re that kid from Almost Famous, it’s going to be a while before pubs are going to be beating down your door. And with that, we bring you perhaps the most disdainful piece of advice out there: Write for free.   You can’t get ahead without clips, and sometimes the payment you receive for said clips is experience and a foothold in the industry.   Jason Diamond, editor in chief of Jewcy.com and founding editor of Vol. 1 Brooklyn, says: “If you’re offered to write a low or non-paying piece by a website that is influential, has a lot of traffic, or you just totally respect, take it.” Now, that’s not to say you should keep writing, sans cash, indefinitely. But doing some writing for a website you really dig can get you exposure and, subsequently, the momentum you need to launch yourself toward a legit gig. 3. Here I Go Again (On My Own) Still, if you don’t want to submit to the wily ways of “the man” (i.e. someone else’s blog), might we suggest you start your own? Really, there’s no excuse in this day and age for an aspiring blogger to not be in possession of his or her very own URL. Furthermore, once you have your own blog in place, you can either try to leverage it into its own, money-making entity by selling ads, etc., or you use it as a kind of portfolio. You can also form link exchanges with other blogs â€"- just shoot the editor an e-mail â€"- which will help you build connections in the space, or join a blog aggregator, like MOG.   However you use it, it’s as essential for any up-and-coming music blogger to have a domain as it is for him or her to have ears. Whatever your goals may be with your music blog, make sure to have fun with it!   Write about what you love and let your personality shine.   Whats your favorite music blog to read?   Do any of you own there have your own blog?   Leave a comment below!

How to Study for the Quantitative Reasoning Section of the GRE

How to Study for the Quantitative Reasoning Section of the GRE When you first begin preparing for this portion of the exam, the seemingly endless variety in math problems may overwhelm you. Such a wide array of mathematical concepts are covered, making it seem impossible to digest them all. That is why committing a substantial amount of time to them is key. In fact, the Quantitative Reasoning section of the GRE may be the most time-consuming in terms of studying. But dont freak out just yet not all of these problems are going to be foreign to you. In fact, youre likely to remember a lot of them, or at least recall the processes relatively quickly. This is because the math on this exam represents a very lengthy time span in the your academic history. Problems you will face will range from recognizing prime numbers to identifying permutations to solving for x in complex equations.Although you wont be able to predetermine which of the many possible problems youll need to solve on the exam, you can adequately prepare yourself for what ways these pr oblems will be presented to you. This wont be like past math tests youve taken; there are very specific forms that these questions will take that if you make yourself familiar with, the exam will go far more smoothly for you.One question type you will see will ask you to compare two quantities. These two quantities wont be given bluntly, however. One or both of them will be some sort of equation that youll need to solve, i.e. 3x/4y. There will often be a side note of given information necessary for you to know in order to solve the problems, i.e. x y, or something along those lines. Every problem has different circumstances, but you will always have the same set of answers to choose from for this question type. You will either choose that one of the quantities is greater than the other one, that they are equal, or that it can't be determined with the given information. So when it all comes down to it, the definitiveness in the answers of this question type is quite simple. Study up on the tricks to determine just enough to figure them out.Once youve made yourself familiar with the comparison of unknown quantities, all you have left to worry about is prepping yourself for direct problem solving and data interpretation. The remaining questions will range from word problems to breaking down equations to comprehending various graphs and charts. The tricky part is re-learning all of these things. If you majored in something that kept you studying these concepts every semester, then you probably wont have as much intense reviewing to do. However, if math hasnt been kept as an integral part of your curriculum, youll really need to sit down and vigorously go through a lot of material so giving yourself plenty of time to study before test day is absolutely crucial. A lot of these things will probably come back to you easily, such as concepts like y-intercepts and the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2). But there will inevitably be a ton of equations and methods yo u havent thought about in a long time that will definitely require some work to comprehend once again. You will face complex geometry, large ratios, percentage-fraction conversions, and much more. The best thing to do is practice the problems extensively. More importantly, determine right away what sorts of things the on-screen calculator will allow you to do this calculator wont be able to do everything. Look into the details about this specific calculator so you will know which concepts it can help you with and which ones it cant so you will not be dependent on it for the wrong things. Additionally, youll know which concepts you dont have to waste time figuring out how to solve by hand.Get yourself well acquainted with these ideas and this section should be yours to work through like a champion!
