Why Individualized Tutoring is More Effective Than Group Tutoring

Why Individualized Tutoring is More Effective Than Group Tutoring Youve seen several red flags, including a decline in grades and a poor report card. Maybe your child has asked you for homework help but you can tell your child has big skill gaps and you feel unequipped to help him or her close them. If you know your child could benefit from the help of a tutor, your next decision is what type of setting is going to be most effective: a one-to-one or group tutoring setting? At Huntington, we are proponents of individualized tutoring for students for a variety of reasons: One-to-one tutoring programs are customized for each students needs. In a one-to-one tutoring session, the teacher determines what to cover based on the students specific needs and goals. The curriculum is designed to address each students challenges. Sessions are built specifically around the student. Students cant get lost in the crowd. Just like in a classroom with many students, students in a larger group tutoring session can fade into the background by avoiding asking questions or engaging the teacher. Not so in an individualized tutoring program. Students get the help they need because they are the sole focus. The programs scale according to students growth. Because an individual tutoring session is designed around each students areas of weakness, theres no risk of students getting left behind. Tutors will not move ahead to a new concept without ensuring their students master the essential building block skills first. Students learn more than just school skills. A quality subject tutoring program focuses on more than the academic skills your child needs for success. At Huntington, for example, we strive to help students boost their self-esteem and turn around any negative feelings they might have about school. Our goal is to help students become motivated self-starters who are confident in their abilities. Signs its time for tutoring So, when should you call Huntington? When the grades have fallen, of course, but here are several other signs your child needs personal tutoring help: Your child lacks study skills. Watch for sloppy or incomplete notes from class and a haphazard approach to nightly homework. Take note if your child seems to make things harder on him or herself by succumbing to distractions or failing to set up good habits during homework and studying. Homework takes way too long. Tasks that you know should be quick take a long time because your child gets distracted or easily confused. Observe how your child spends his or her time and how long it takes to get going when he or she sits down to do work. Your child doesnt care. If your child once enjoyed school and now seems lazy and apathetic about the idea of learning, there might be something going on behind the scenes. Theres a reason for that lack of effort. You need to find out what it is. Your childs typical nightly routine: avoid. If procrastination and avoidance have become the nightly norm, your child is probably be struggling with school material. Avoidance is easier than slogging through something difficult or asking for help. Call 1-800 CAN LEARN to learn more about Huntingtons one-to-one student tutoring plans. We work with children of all ages to identify and target their areas of weakness so they can get back on track in school.

Tutoring and Homeschooling Is Booming in the UAE

Tutoring and Homeschooling Is Booming in the UAE On June 22nd I blogged on why Georgias Black Families Replace Schools With Tutors. The short answer to this question was: While most states prohibit homeschooling parents from tutoring anybody except their own children, Georgia has no such restriction. Remember? Today, I am continuing this topic I was surprised and happy to learn that the booming of homeschooling is not only a phenomenon observed at home in the US but also a worldwide trend. For example, in 2014 the United Arabic Emirates (UAE) reported 4,000 students were officially home-schooled a number that is likely much higher, for it only includes students who are above age 15. 4 Reasons For The Tutoring and Homeschooling Boom In The UAE The number one reason of the rise of tutoring is simply the fact that there exist little legislative restrictions on homeschooling. Parents in the UAE are free to tutor their children. Interestingly, this micro trend in freedom of education reflects the larger trend in increased personal and economic freedom available to citizens of the UAE. The libertarian Canadian think thank Fraser Institute anally publishes a ranking of counties. In 2014, the UAE ranked 5th of the countries in the world in terms of economic freedom; a ranking higher than most Western countries (The US ranks 16, the UK 11th, Germany 29th). The second reason for the tutoring boom is the rising costs of schooling in the UAE. Traditionally, women stay at home for child-rearing and house-holding. Now that household technology has eased these tasks women do find the time to home-school their own kids and often that of their neighbors as well. The teaching of unfamiliar subjects is typically left to tutors. Reason #3: Governmental schools focus on scholastic subjects. Not so in Homeschooling. It enables parents to teach practical subjects such as cooking, household responsibilities, buying groceries and organizing parties. Reason #4. Some parents decided to pull their children out of the public schools because they are killing the childrens interesting in learning. In the UAE kids often complain that hey just sit around and learn nothing new or interesting. More details can be obtained from the UAE magazine The National who published an the article Why are more parents in the UAE are homeschooling their children. Too bad that TutorZ.com does not yet offer tutoring in the UAE. But we are eager to expand our service to the UAE, a rich country with the right attitude towards tutoring!

Exams are approaching - top 5 revision tips - Tutor Hunt Blog

Exams are approaching - top 5 revision tips Exams are approaching - top 5 revision tips Exams are approaching - top 5 revision tipsSecondary SchoolsIt`s that dreaded time of year once again - for thousands of pupils across the country, the exams that were safely far away in the future are now are very real and immediate prospect. The GCSE and A-Level tests are fast approaching! Indeed, they are just over the horizon, and coming closer with each passing day. It`s revision season - all the knowledge amassed over the last 2 years must be revivified, and made immediately accessible to the mind. Pupils need to have everything they have learnt ready and at their fingertips; two years of learning distilled into a two hour exam. But what are the best ways to ensure you make the best use of the study time left? Should you cram nonstop, reading textbooks during every waking moment? Should you obtain audio files for your subjects, and listen to them while you are asleep? probably not, but here are a few things you can try to get the most out of your revision schedule: 1. Be clear what you specifically need to revise for This is vitally important - you don`t want to waste precious time studying up on topics that have no chance of being in the test. Try to obtain a copy of your subject syllabus, and consult any exercise books from the past year. The syllabus will clearly specify which topics you will be examined on, and your exercise books will show you how your teacher set out to teach parts of the syllabus. 2. Construct a revision timetable If you don`t organise your time you may fall into the trap of spending the most of your revision schedule on the subjects you enjoy the most, which will probably mean you waste precious days and weeks on parts of the syllabus you already have a good understanding of. First of all work out which parts of each subject you need to do the most work on, and make sure you apportion the majority of your time to these areas. Work out how many hours each week you can give to your revision - if you are allocated study time at school make sure you include this in your plan, along with time after school and at weekends. It may seem that the next few months of your life will be nothing but revision, but the next section will assuage that fear! 3. Ensure you take regular breaks No one is able to read and study non stop for hours on end - even the most studious individual will reach a point where their brain will be unable to assimilate any more information, unless they are permitted to take a well earned break. The danger is though that once `recess` times are permitted, the student will take them whenever the going gets though. Struggling to understand a particular part of calculus… time to take a break! getting tired of all these irregular french verbs… time to take another break! Without a good structural plan to the revision timetable the student may well reflexively take a break just at the very point where they are struggling with something difficult. For this reason break times should be written into the revision schedule, with a 15 minute interim every two hours or so. 4. Seek out videos online to help These days there is such an abundance of online video educational content, be it from students themselves helping share their knowledge in an approachable way, to world famous lecturers from prestigious schools and universities all around the world. Many students can be mentally fatigued by studying the endless pages of their textbooks - videos can make learning come alive, and the right online teacher may engage the student, and help them understand concepts they previously couldn`t come to grips with. 5. Obtain past papers A student may have a thorough and in depth knowledge of their subject, but unless they are able to apply and express their comprehension under exam conditions their true capabilities will not be reflected in their grade. For this reason students should actually practice taking exams, in order that, when the day comes, they are not intimidated and anxious, and can perform to the best of their abilities. Past papers can be easily obtained from the respective subject`s syllabus - the student should sit some of these exams under the same strict conditions they will have to adhere to when they take the real exam. This will allow them to become acclimatised to exam pressures, while also allowing them to calculate their own `predicted grade,` and identify any areas they need to study up on. 9 months ago0Add a Comment

Coping with culture shock while teaching overseas

Coping with culture shock while teaching overseas Many of those who teach abroad will experience some degree of culture shock. Moving to a new and often different cultural environment makes the feeling of culture shock a very normal and real psychological phenomenon.With any move comes natural stressors, but relocating abroad presents a whole crop of new challenges: a different local language, new customs, new manners, and cultural norms. It’s typical to find yourself in a social situation where you’re not sure what is the right thing to do or say. And while coping with these stresses can initially be clouded with the “honeymoon phase” of travel, eventually an adjustment phase kicks in. This adjustment is what is known as culture shock.What causes culture shockThe onset of culture shock varies from person to person - it can be anywhere from a couple of weeks to six months. The initial three months are often characterized as the honeymoon phase, where new cultural phenomenons might intrigue and delight more than upset. Everyt hing seems new and exciting. But internally, our bodies are really dealing with physiological stress: lack of control, understanding new social norms, and perhaps difficulties in communicating. Trying to decipher how to respond properly in these situations can be exhausting and overstimulating.  Culture shock symptomsCulture shock can manifest in many ways, and can appear as fleeting feelings or can last for weeks. But indulging these feelings can lead to unhealthy behavior such as over- or under-eating, or serious sadness or depression. Watch for the following symptoms during your first few months:HomesicknessSadness/loneliness/hopelessnessBoredomAversion to social interaction, or withdrawing from local relationships and communicating only with family at homeSleeping and eating too muchStereotyping or an increased tendency to think badly of local culture and peopleUncontrollable emotions (like crying over seemingly anything)Constantly comparing your home country to your placement countryThe symptoms of culture shock can come and go throughout your first year of teaching abroad.How to manage the effects of culture shockOne of the best ways to manage culture shock is to be aware of symptoms as they crop up. When you start to experience them, it’s important to tell yourself, “What I’m experiencing now is probably culture shock.” After acknowledging that you are experiencing culture shock, which is a very normal reaction to lots of change, you can take the following steps to overcome any of the symptoms:Reassure yourself that these feelings will eventually pass once you’ve settled.Take time to connect with yourself and honor your needs: keep busy with activities you enjoy, exercise regularly, develop a new hobby and set time aside for it each day.Dedicate some time to learning the local language to help overcome communication difficulties.Be easy on yourself: adjusting is hard work.Establish a daily routine that you stick to. Make sure to get lots of s leep and eat healthily.Make your apartment more comfortable with souvenirs from back home.Schedule time to indulge in a healthy dose of culture from your home country: listen to some music, watch one of your favourite movies, or eat your favourite dishes. These small things can help. And if you can, sharing some of your culture with local friends can provide some relief.Try to stop yourself from making cultural value judgments or comparisons with your home country.Most importantly: encourage yourself. Remind yourself of your reasons for going abroad in the first place. Each time culture shock symptoms show up, know that it’s just your body taking some time to adjust to everything that’s new. Eventually, you will feel more comfortable in your new country and these pangs of nostalgia and homesickness will be shorter and more controllable.Again, culture shock is normal: it isn’t a sign that you aren’t suited to teaching abroad, it’s a sign that you’re human and you’re wor king through a very natural process. Being aware of the fact that you will likely experience some degree of culture shock is a good way to combat serious side effects or symptoms.

The Concept of Irreducible Representation in Chemistry

The Concept of Irreducible Representation in ChemistryAccording to the concept of irreducible representation, the two sides are essentially equally independent. On a strictly general level, it means that every position which occupies the same space in the two people's mind is equally valid and real. Irreducible representation says that two sides that have no physical connection with each other do not exist. In the context of science, irreducible representation can be utilized to refer to the situation where a scientific experiment cannot be carried out in all possible ways.Irreducible representation has been extensively used in the field of chemistry. It is primarily employed when the question of ordering molecules in a certain order appears as difficult to address. The first reaction that appears to be the easiest to carry out is for the molecules to be ordered in a specific order. This seems to be the most sensible option for many chemists, but if one is not careful the order may b ecome imbalanced and difficult to deal with.Irreducible representation can be effectively employed in this context. It tells us that it is not possible to arrange the molecules in a specific order by a single force such as gravity. To put it more precisely, it tells us that in this situation, some existing order must be created by the intervention of some other force. A better method would be to divide the molecule into two identical copies and to attach them together in such a way that each copy of the molecule has an equal chance of forming the best possible arrangement of the molecules.This creates an attractive force or repulsion between the molecules. These forces create a sort of symmetry and the most effective methods of creating this symmetry are determined by the conditions. In this respect, chemistry is defined by the principle of irreducible representation. For example, in the absence of matter, the atoms and their molecules would never be able to break the bonds of the m olecules which make up the atoms and hence wouldnot be able to bind.Irreducible representation is an important tool in the understanding of a large number of physical phenomena such as superconductivity and in the study of the molecular basis of life. The most recent applications of irreducible representation in chemistry have been made in the fields of biochemistry and the history of man. It is important to mention here that the use of an irreducible representation is still being used in many other fields.These include molecular dynamics, information theory, and so on. However, it should be noted that the use of an irreducible representation is not restricted to these areas. When a couple of colleagues in the Department of Chemistry in the University of London made the discovery of the C3 alcohol HHO, they used it in their research.The discovery was based on the fact that HHO is a compound that contains the nucleus of an oxygen atom, and on the fact that the oxygen is bonded to the indium oxide indium and this bond forms a highly reactive ionic molecule. The discovery has led to a revolution in the use of several atomic concepts in chemistry.

Tutoring in Chemistry

Tutoring in ChemistryTutoring in Chemistry is an excellent idea for students who would like to learn the basic principles of this science and have the knowledge required for successful science careers. Chemistry is the science of the elements with their chemical properties. The periodic table, which features the elements, can be found at the beginning of the book, the first page, with the appropriate entry for each element.A well-organized chemistry textbook will contain a long list of chemical elements. The book will provide the student with all the requirements that are necessary for this class. The instructor of this class should ensure that he or she is the one to explain and guide the student in the subject. One of the reasons for tutoring in chemistry is that teachers know that it's important to be able to explain the topic so that the student has a proper understanding of the topic.In elementary classes, teachers need to educate the students in chemistry in a structured manner . They should be able to show the students how to read and understand the elements in the periodic table. Teachers should also teach students the basics of chemistry and basic molecular interactions, if they would like to know more. The chemistry class should be based on clear instructions and clear explanations, so that the students will learn in a systematic manner.Students would like to pursue a career in chemistry, so that they can interact with other students in a wide range of scientific fields. The tutoring in chemistry will enable them to gain the required knowledge. Chemistry tutors would also introduce the students to various chemical applications. Students will also learn how to handle chemical samples and prepare samples for testing purposes. Some chemistry tutors would provide the students with in-depth lessons about the major areas in chemistry.A chemistry class should include one or two in-depth lectures on the different aspects of chemistry. Teachers could also condu ct research projects to test the students'knowledge. For advanced students, a tutor can prepare an introduction to advanced subjects.Chemists would also make use of the chemistry tutoring services to enhance their level of knowledge and understanding of the subject. Chemistry tutors would be able to guide the students to the principles of chemistry and teach them the techniques necessary for the job. Many tutoring programs are available on the internet.
