Yahoo News Presents Tutorfair

Yahoo News Presents Tutorfair Mum. Mum! We’re on TV! Yahoo News presents Tutorfair as the company intent on helping those in need of education at a time when private tuition is booming. As Yahoo News explains, private tuition is booming as competition in the classroom is fiercer than ever. Parents naturally want to give their children the edge and as one-to-one tuition has been proven to really make a difference in a child’s education, lots of parents are turning to this different model of teaching. It builds a child’s confidence whilst reinforcing and broadening their knowledge. However, does this tuition boom risk tutoring becoming a ‘middle class arms race’? Conor Ryan, Research Director of the Sutton Trust says that, double the amount of children from better off homes are getting private tuition than ones from less advantaged families. As a solution to this, he proposes that “we would like to see more initiatives where young people from disadvantaged homes get access to the sort of one to one tuition that others are able to pay for.” This is Tutorfair! ‘For every student who pays, we give tutoring to a child who can’t’   That’s the fair bit of Tutorfair. We partner with schools where a high proportion of students are on free school meals. The class teachers then choose the pupils who will benefit the most. Tutorfair’s tutors then go into these schools to help the students and we have had very positive feedback so far: Alexander Lee from Wilbury School said, “[the tutors] have been fantastic â€" really committed to helping the children in their progress. Thank you again for all you’ve done.” Karen Meers (IOE tutor) and Lisa Wise (DHT) said, ‘Children made outstanding progress over the course of lessons. All tutors showed an excellent relationship with the children.” Globe Academy said, “It has been fantastic having the tutors here, so thank you.” The Department for Education wants to support disadvantaged pupils and close the attainment gap because at the moment there really is a noticeable difference in education between the two ends of the socio-economic spectrum. Nearly half of children claiming free school meals  achieve no GCSE passes above a D-grade (1); about a quarter get 5 good GCSEs (2); and only a sixth get to university (3) whereas   96% of pupils from independent schools make it to university(4).  [1] This is what Tutorfair is trying to address. We believe that tutoring can benefit everyone. It’s not about tutors versus teachers though. As Edd Stockwell, a co-founder of Tutorfair explains, “whole class learning simply can’t be the complete answer in education, tutoring should augment and support teachers.” Schools themselves realise that as the tutoring industry is booming, both parties should communicate so that children are supported in their learning as best as possible. Mark Maclaine, who has been a tutor for fourteen years recounts how when he first started tutoring, it was treated like a “dirty little secret” but now things are changing and he attends parents-teacher evenings. This is the way forward. Everyone needs to work together to get the best from education. As Andrew Ground, another co-founder of Tutorfair explained, “feeling confident in yourself really is the key thing” and if tutors can help install this in children, that can only be a good thing.

Job Advice From the Editor-In-Chief of Seventeen Magazine

Job Advice From the Editor-In-Chief of Seventeen Magazine Ann Shoket, Editor-In-Chief of Seventeen Magazine, Flickr photo courtesy of Jason Meredith Landing an entry level position in the media industry can be delicate â€"  especially when aiming for a spot with a notable company like CNN,  ABC, Hearst, Seventeen Magazine, and etc. In a career field that is competitive and constantly changing, it is important to stand out from other job candidates when journeying through the application and interview process. Job advice is redundantly shoved down the throats of college students and graduates constantly, yet qualified  applicants  continue to fall short of landing jobs. Fortunately, the Editor-In-Chief of Seventeen Magazine, Ann Shoket, graced the stage this weekend at the first ever Her Campus National Intercollegiette Conference in New York , NY. With  approximately  300 young inspired students,  professionals, and media lovers under the sound of her voice, she delivered what she precisely called, Ann Shokets Plan to Getting a Job. This 3-step plan  emphasizes  the importance of making the small gestures count. 1. Write a letter to the Editor. Whether its the the E-I-C or a managing editor, find their information and send them a letter. Write a letter about your connection and what youre going to do for the magazine, Shoket emphasized. While she  acknowledged  that there is no guarantee that your letter will get a response, its vital to let them know your ideas and what you can bring to the company. Dont just say you read the magazine all of your life,  she added. Its about showing what you can actually put into action. 2. Sit on the edge of your seat. Youve managed to land a meeting or interview with the company of your liking. You know when to show up, what to wear, and how to smile like your life depends upon it. Youre invited into the interview space, but now what? Stop!  Dont you dare sit comfortably with your back against the chair. Sit on the edge of your seat, Shoket says. You have to earn the right to sit back in your seat. Its all about engagement. Dont make it  monologue; make it conversation, she added. Its okay to bring your notepad filled with questions. Make yourself memorable by not waiting to have the information pried out of you.  Just start talking. 3. Write a thank you letter. Yes, youve probably heard this more than a couple of times, but its time for you to actually start doing it. With the  convenience  of emails, not many people take the time to write handwritten letters anymore. Shoket suggests using plain paper. You dont need anything fancy with flowers, rainbows, and swirls. Ensure that your letter is not generic by including something discussed in the interview, while keeping it short and sweet. We know the economy isnt the best right now and school is expensive. But there are steps that job seekers can take to improve the process. Sometimes it just takes someone influential to say something for people to understand its importance.

June Language Challenge Tracys update learning Esperanto AND time management

June Language Challenge Tracys update learning Esperanto AND time management Tracy is taking the Language Challenge with the goal of learning Esperanto, but shes got a long way to go. Does this apply to you as well?  Dont give up! A photo posted by Italki (@italki) on May 22, 2015 at 6:12am PDT What’s your goal? I want to talk with others about  language learning in Esperanto (and to see how quickly  I can learn it). Ive heard that a large proportion of the people at the Berlin Polyglot Gathering speak Esperanto, and that it’s very easy. I’m curious to see how much I can learn in a short period of time, and  Id really like to be able to have a 15-minute long conversation with an Esperanto speaker, especially about languages, language learning, and their reasons for learning Esperanto. I’m still not sure if I’ll be able to make it, but this is my goal. At the beginning of my first class, the only words I knew were “saluton”, “dankon”, and “lernu” (because of the Esperanto community lernu.net), so this will be a fun test to see how far I can go after starting with practically nothing. After my first hour of class, Id already gained a reasonable understanding of basic grammar and phrases for asking basic information about another person (and how many languages they are learning)! A secondary goal is to learn Esperanto  through my second language (Chinese). All of the languages I’ve studied previously, I learned through my native language, English. So, my Esperanto classes are a no-English zone. Just in the first hour of class, I was already very amused by the ways that the 3 languages I’m most familiar with: English, Chinese, and Spanish, are variously influencing my attempts at Esperanto! How’s it going? Esperanto is great! It’s been a long time since I started a new language, and I love it! It’s like giving my brain a shiny new toy. I’ve heard that someone else in the office has studied Esperanto before and I’m already excited to try out my 1 hour of learning on him. As for the 12 hours… Between my family visiting, a music festival, going-away parties, a generally demanding schedule, and the fact that at the beginning of the Challenge, there was only one Esperanto teacher, I knew that I’d have a hard time scheduling lessons. I was, sadly,  correct. That being said, I really do want to learn as much Esperanto this month as I can, so I’m glad that now I just have to figure out a way to fit my next …11.5 hours into 1/2 a month. Deadlines make things happen. Im still committed to finding a way to fit my hours into  the next  two weeks. The fact that my classes are so fun is definitely going to help me put in the time. However, if I have trouble scheduling Esperanto hours, I might fall back on scheduling more time to practice Chinese or maybe even start dabbling in other languages that Id like to focus on later. How are your classes? Really fun! My teacher Teddy Nee has an obvious passion for languages and language learning. I’m very fortunate in that he’s also fluent in Chinese so I can avoid using English (my native language) during my lessons. I’m really looking forward being able to talk with him (and others!) about language learning in Esperanto! Someone commented before that Esperanto was so easy that you can learn quickly without a teacher. But, the way I see it, if Esperanto is that easy, then I should be able to learn EVEN FASTER with a teacher! Since my goal is to talk others, then I might as well jump into practicing that! What are you doing outside of class? At first, my daily goal was to write one question and answer pair that I want to be able to say in Esperanto. I’ve been discovering that actually, a better way to do this might be to write out my questions and answers for the week all at once and then make sure I look at at least one every day. This method would let me get all of the “thinking” done in bulk and then during each day of the week, I can just relax and follow my own instructions. So, I might change that to have a weekly goal of generating my desired questions and answers for each day of the week and then a daily goal of reviewing my notes on the way to and from work + before bed. Duolingo has recently opened an  Esperanto section, and I’m excited to start using  it as a supplement, but (this is embarrassing) it actually seems to be incompatible with the device that I have right now ?? (an old iPod that is incompatible with the current iOS). So, I’ll have to either use it on my computer or hurry up and get a new device. [Edit: Actually, its because the Esperanto Duolingo is still in beta version, and was unavailable on mobile devices. ] Other than that, I just discovered some old videos for Chinese speakers learning Esperanto on Youku, and I walk around on my commute to and from work, reading from my notes and asking myself questions out loud, mumbling like a crazy person.  I should also start making use of the lernu! community and resources. Tell us more about Esperanto: Even though Esperanto doesn’t have a country, I’m learning that it does have a sort of culture. For example, I learned that since almost everyone who speaks Esperanto does so as a second or third language, Esperanto speakers are attentive to taking into account each others’ native languages and how different native languages may influence the way a person speaks Esperanto. I appreciate that level of consideration for others! I’ve also heard that some people have suggested learning Esperanto before learning other languages. After the very little bit that I’ve learned so far, I already agree with this for 2 reasons: Since Esperanto is a “Conlang” a ‘constructed language’, it’s very well organized. There are no exceptions that I know of. There is a pattern to the vocabulary and to the grammar that just snaps into place (it was designed to). It’s very elegant. Since Esperanto IS so well-organized, the basics can be learned very quickly. This means you wouldn’t have to spend much time training your language learning skills on Esperanto before moving on to a different language. If you’ve never studied a language before, I think learning Esperanto would be a great way to make it very plain to yourself how a language is structured. Then, when you begin learning other languages, you will already have a sort of abstract language “blueprint” in mind that I think would make it much easier for you to approach learning other languages. Esperanto seems it could be a kind of training wheels for mastering the process of language acquisition. Maybe I’m just a little over-enthusiastic about my classes right now, but I’m on the verge of saying that everyone (at least, English speakers or Europeans) should try Esperanto before they learn any other languages, even if just as a sort of language learning boot camp. Tips for other Challengers? Really, I think the hardest part (for me, anyway) is scheduling the lessons. I often get anxious about scheduling my time because I try to anticipate what else might be going on. I easily over-plan things. But, once I just bite the bullet and put the time on my schedule, it actually is easier than I think, and I actually feel much better knowing that the hours are there on the calendar. Its actually kind of a relief. I would highly recommend just buying packages for the amount of time you need to finish and then just requesting the sessions all at once and getting them on your calendar. Its so much easier than having to decide hour by hour when to have class. Get the decisions out of the way and then just do it. This is actually very good time management practice for me, so not only am I learning Esperanto on italki, but I’m learning some good life skills as well! I’m also very glad to be reminded how much fun it is to start a new language this is definitely a positive addition to my life.

Participation Points Fake It Till You Make It - TutorNerds

Participation Points Fake It Till You Make It - TutorNerds Tips From a Private Orange County Tutor: Participation Points Fake It Till You Make It Tips From a Private Orange County Tutor: Participation Points Fake It Till You Make It Whether you are in high school or college, you are likely to have classes with grades that incorporate some type of class participation credit. More and more teachers are including this factor to help incentivize students to speak up, ask questions, and contribute to communal discussion while in the classroom. It is also commonly included in online or hybrid-style classes where there is a requirement to post comments or reply to others in an online discussion book your private Orange County summer tutor today. Your participation grade may be well-defined (two required comments in class per week for full credit, participation in a designated group discussion for credit, total discussions tracked throughout the semester, etc.) or it may be more arbitrary where the teacher simply assigns a grade based on how much they feel youve been contributing during the class. This grade is usually around 5 â€" 10% of your grade, but Ive seen grades as high as 20 and 25%. Regardless, it should be easy points that you can get. As a student myself, I despised participation grades. In high school, they were typically the well-defined variety, and I struggled when I did not have any questions or what I thought were interesting comments during class. In college, the participation grades transitioned mostly to the arbitrary group, and I never knew what my grade would be until the end of the class. Ive found that many students voice similar concerns. Maybe you consider yourself to be shy and dont like speaking up in class. Maybe you just never have any questions that need answers. Maybe youre embarrassed by your questions and dont want to look like you dont understand. Maybe you feel like theres never a good opportunity or opening in the conversation for you to contribute something. These are all common issues, and it is okay to feel this way. The advice that I give is simple: fake it. An easy and effective tactic to solve any of these issues is to come up with a question that you already know the answer to. Take something from the beginning of the lesson, or something you already understood, and ask about it anyway. This might seem counterintuitive, but heres how it benefits you: If youre shy or anxious, it takes a lot of the stress away by asking something you already know. Now, instead of having the anticipation of not knowing the answer and the pressure of having to try to understand and learn something new, you will know that you just need to ask the questions and allow your teacher to give a response you already understand. And, importantly, you will also be getting good practice at making yourself speak up. Its okay to have anxiety or feel shy in class, but you will need to be comfortable asking questions for when you do need help in the future. If you feel like you dont have any real questions, this allows you to get your participation points without the stress. You can ask simple questions that you know, or you can challenge yourself to come up with more complex questions. This can show off your knowledge by still being a question that gets you credit. Remember, the class participation points will help your grade, so you need to treat participating just like any other required assignment: make yourself do it. If youre embarrassed by the questions you have, this tactic will allow you to ask questions that you consider less embarrassing. If you feel embarrassed by easy questions, then ask something complicated that you do understand. Better yet, ask something complicated that you dont understand. Dont worry about the answers your teacher gives and dont worry about understanding. Remember that you are doing this for the experience and the participation grade. Consider listening to some of your classmates questions and mimicking the same types of questions they have. Doing this too, you will hopefully also start to recognize that theres no need to be embarrassed by your questions and that many of your classmates either dont care, have the same confusions themselves, or wont ever think about your question later. If you dont know how to speak up and find an opening in a class discussion, this can make the process easier. Often, a student will listen to the previous point and spend some time thinking about a related comment or question. In the meantime, however, the discussion has already changed topics and moved to something else. Now the student has to think of something new, only for the conversation to change again. Combat this by taking something straightforward that you understood and make up your mind to ask it early. Questions and comments like so it sounds like youre saying… do you mean that… and that seems similar to… are good roots. Similarly, you can purposefully misunderstand someone and ask about it. Remember, you need credit and practice. Your comments and questions dont need to be profound â€" they need to get you your points and make you more comfortable in the setting. Treat your class participation grade like the assignment that it is and get it done. This strategy of coming up with fake questions can make the task easier regardless of what you felt was holding you back before. It can also give you good practice with speaking up in class for when you do need to ask questions and get feedback. Remember, many students struggle with participation grades and thats okay if you feel that its difficult. To get a perfect participation grade and learn how to speak up in class we can apply the classic adage about confidence: fake it ‘til you make it.

5 Proven Memorization Tactics That Will Help You Learn Italian Vocabulary

5 Proven Memorization Tactics That Will Help You Learn Italian Vocabulary Brooke Neuman When learning a foreign language, memorizing vocabulary is one of the most important steps. A college-level mastery of Italian grammar or a near  perfect accent  means nothing without a solid foundation of Italian vocabulary. In fact, many claim that a vocabulary of at least 3,000 words is necessary to obtain fluency in a foreign language. If youre having a hard time getting your Italian vocabulary list to stick dont give up, as there are many tactics to help you memorize words more easily. But first let’s discover just how our memory works. Now, let’s dive into five tactics will help you memorize Italian vocabulary and hopefully ace your next quiz! Tactic 1: Label the world around you When you start learning Italian, the first vocabulary words you learn are focused on describing yourself and your surroundings. Make signs to label the various appliances and pieces of furniture in your home. As you go about your day, these signs will remind you that you keep milk in il  firgorifero and go to sleep in il  letto. You can apply this tactic to pictures as well. For example, you can print a picture of a person and label the various parts of their body in Italian, such as gamba (leg), testa (head), dito  (finger) and orecchio (ear). This tactic works well because you learn to associate words with mental images. Tactic 2: Learn words in context Instead of simply learning that correre means to run, you might find you remember the word  better by learning it as part of a sentence. Create a simple sentence such as I like to run. or Mi  piace  correre. By learning the word in context, you will remember the word and its meaning easier. As an added benefit, it allows you to practice and learn other Italian vocabulary  words at the same time. Tactic 3: Practice with flashcards Flashcards have long been a popular memorization technique because theyre a highly effective way to learn new words. While you can use traditional paper flashcards, there are many  flashcard  apps you might like. Below are our three favorite flashcard applications. Chegg Flashcards: This free app made for the iPhone allows users to create their own flashcards or access pre-made sets. The app also tracks results so users can see how they are progressing. Download the app here. StudyBlue: This app allows users to create flashcards with text, pictures, or audio files. It also enables users to pause and save study sessions in case they need to cut it short and go back later. Download the app here. Flashcards Deluxe: If you want a simpler user interface and design then go with Flashcards Deluxe. The app features a database of over 4 million flashcards and you have the option to create five-sided cards. Download the app here. Tactic 4: Create mnemonic devices Mnemonic devices are another great way to memorize Italian vocabulary lists. Basically, you’re creating a familiar phrase or a short song to help you memorize something that would otherwise be difficult to remember. In other words, it’s all about association. For example, the Italian word for to believe is credere. The beginning of this word looks and sounds similar to the English word creed. Because a creed is set of beliefs, making this connection can boost your ability to remember credere. Tactic 5: Write a story in Italian When learning a list of Italian vocabulary words, create a story that links the words. It doesnt matter how silly your story is, as long as it creates a vivid image in your mind. If you dont know a word in Italian, simply use the English word in its place for now. As your vocabulary grows, you can start translating the remaining words into Italian and making your story more complex. For example, if you were studying animal names in Italian, your story might start with: Il cane (the dog) chased un  gatto  (a cat) that was running after un  topo  (a mouse). No matter which tactics you choose to employ, practicing your vocabulary daily is important for long term retention. In most cases, it is better to dedicate 15 minutes to practicing Italian every day than to spend several hours once a week without reviewing what youve studied in between sessions.
