How to Find a Tutor That Makes a Difference

How to Find a Tutor That Makes a Difference Anna L Nov 25, 2017 When a child’s grades start to slip or concepts in the classroom begin to get confusing, sometimes the supports offered in school aren’t enough. In these cases, parents often make the decision to call in some extra academic help. But then what? How can parents ensure they are not only making the right decision for their child, but also making the right choice when it comes to the help they choose to hire? Using a tutoring database will put a large selection of local professionals at your fingertips; it is then up to you to make the right choice. With a little bit of legwork and due diligence, any parent can find a private tutor that is a perfect match for both his or her child and the child’s academic growth. How to Find a Tutor: What Help Do You Need? Before beginning a search for a tutor in your area, take stock of what type of help your child needs. Is there a particular subject that is posing problems? Is there a particular academic skillset that needs some support such as study skills? Is there a high-stakes exam or standardized test on the horizon? Is there a disability or impairment that is making learning difficult? Each of these issues requires a different type of academic support. Always start this process by opening a dialogue with your child’s teacher. Even if, in the back of your mind, you feel that the teacher bears some of the responsibility for your child’s struggles, the insight into what is happening in the classroom can be invaluable. Furthermore, this conversation should be ongoing once a tutor eventually does enter the picture. It may seem obvious, but you really do need to have a good idea of where your child is struggling to be able to find the tutor that is best prepared to help. For instance, tutors that specialize in elementary tutoring subject areas typically won’t have much to offer when it comes to preparing for the writing portion of the SATs. Someone who is an exceptional reading specialist will probably not be much help when it comes to trigonometry. It is important to recognize that not all tutors are created equal. Your initial search may turn up an assortment of tutors all offering similar ranges of subjects and test prep services. Nevertheless, it is crucial to drill down a bit deeper to see where each candidate’s strongest areas of expertise actually are. Screening Potential Tutors There are two key areas to focus on when evaluating a tutoring candidate: qualifications and fit. The easier of the two to assess is qualifications. Typically, a résumé and a few phone calls to a tutor’s references will tell you what you need to know about a tutor’s academic background and fitness to tutor your child in a specific content area. If a prospective tutor is unwilling to share either of these two things with you, they may no longer be a candidate worth considering. The tricky piece to evaluate is a tutor’s compatibility with your child’s personality, learning style, and specific academic needs. After all, if your child is uncomfortable with or unwilling to work with a tutor, growth isn’t going to happen. Rather than signing on with the first person you meet, give several a try. Ideally, conduct these sessions in your home so that you can control the learning environment and ensure optimal productivity. You can also gain some key insights by staying within earshot in another room during the session (but resist the urge to hover!). After each session, have a frank conversation with your child about what they liked and/or did not like about the tutor and the session. Between that feedback, any examples of work accomplished during the session, and what you were able to glean on your own, you should have a good idea of whether the tutor is a match for your child and your child’s needs. Some tutors make this easy by offering a free trial session to help kick-start a productive tutoring relationship. However, if a candidate doesn’t offer a free trial session, it never hurts to ask! At the very least, you may be able to get a discounted initial session. While on the subject of cost, many parents try to take shortcuts when hiring tutors and just focus on the price tag as an indication of quality. A tutor with a higher rate must be better than one that is offering services for half the cost, right? You get what you pay for. Not so fast. It turns out the old adage does not necessarily hold true when it comes to tutors. High prices do not guarantee high quality. There are all sorts of reasons why tutors charge what they charge to their clients. Regardless, since tutors can set their own rates, it doesn’t make sense to use their advertised rate as a key part of your evaluation process. Sure, affordability matters, but when it is time to decide the best tutor for your child, stick to the factors that matter most: qualifications and fit. When all is said and done, finding a tutor doesn’t have to be a difficult task. You just have to know what your child needs and how to go about securing the tutor that is the best prepared to help. The whole process may take some time and energy, but the payoff that comes with a child that is able to clear their educational hurdles is well worth the effort!

Breakdown for Tutoring Subjects Math, English, Science, Languages, Test Prep, Business and Music

Breakdown for Tutoring Subjects Math, English, Science, Languages, Test Prep, Business and Music Tutorz.com very own Dirk Wagner presented statistical analysis on the distribution of the main tutoring subjects to Dow Jones Journal Editor Missy Sullivan. Today Dirk is going to substantiate this presentation with the in-depth analysis of individual subjects for each main tutoring category. For example the mathematics category will be broken down into algebra, statistics, calculus, geometry, trigonometry, etc. The original article on the main tutoring subjects was published on March 12, 2011 and can be found here: www.tutorz.com/blog/2011/03/ceo-interviewed-by-dow-jones-journal/ This data presented in the distribution of tutoring subjects was taken from the last 5,000 tutoring requests (and not just from search data which is skewed due to spam and robot activity). The main tutoring subject categories with its respective percentage distributions are as follows: math (32%), English (17%), science (17%), languages (12%), test prep (6.5%), business (4.5%), computer-related (4%), music (3%), sports (1%) and other (4.3%). Math Subjects As one might expect, the subject category of mathematics is the most dominating category scoring 32% of all tutoring requests. Within this category algebra, calculus, statistics and geometry are the most frequent requested subjects. The requests for mathematics related subjects break down as follows: math (15%), algebra (7.7%), calculus (3.7%), statistics (2.3%), geometry (2%), trigonometry (0.3%), applied math (0.03), differential equations (0.03%). English Subjects The English subjects hold place two within subject categories and are tied with the science subjects category at 17%. Reading is the most favorite subject within the English category amounting to 6.2% of all tutoring requests. The precise breakdown of all English related subjects is as follows: English (6.9%), reading (6.2%), writing (2.3%), spelling (0.5%), grammar (0.2%), essay writing (0.3%), speech (0.14%), dyslexia-reading (0.05%), vocabulary (0.03%), creative writing (0.03%), and term paper (0.01%). Science Subjects The science subjects are dead even on place two (or three) with the English subjects category. 17% of all tutoring requests called for science related subjects. The most popular science subject is chemistry (6.1%) followed closely by physics and biology. We mention in passing the long tale in the science subjects which includes somewhat more esoteric subjects like pharmacology, thermodynamics and meteorology. The breakdown of all science subjects is given here: Chemistry (6.1%), physics (4%), science (1.5%), biology (1.4%), pharmacology (0.63%), physical chemistry (0.57%), organic chemistry (0.52%), biochemistry (0.36%), physiology (0.3%), anatomy (0.3%), genetics (0.21%), astronomy (0.09%), neuroscience (0.09%), cell biology (0.03%), anthropology (0.03%) and geology (0.03%).

Spanish is the clear winner in the languages category. This has to do with the strong influx of Hispanic workers from Latin America. Spanish is followed by ESL (English as a second language) which can also be seen as a testament of the U.S. being an immigration country. Reflecting the rising important of the largest U.S. trade partner, Chinese has become the 5th most often requested foreign language.

Control, Alt, Meet Working A Room In The Tech Age

Control, Alt, Meet Working A Room In The Tech Age Photo by LoyolaNOLA via Flickr. Take a deep breath; this is a networking opportunity, and although you may feel like the only nerve-rattled individual in the room, trust in the fact that you’re not, by a long shot. Most employers and job-seekers commonly experience this type of anxiety before speaking to groups of strangers at networking events. Luckily, there are several tips and suggestions that can assist you, and even some of the shyest individuals out there, in working a room like a professional. Embrace Nonverbal Communication While modern networking has largely become a figment of social media, there are still certain benefits of face-to-face interaction with professional contacts that, believe it or not, are worth the few hours of nervousness. Dan Klamm, Outreach Marketing Coordinator at Syracuse University Career Services, wrote in an article on social networking that “in-person meetings allow you to build stronger relationships than back-and-forth messaging online. Things like body language, eye contact, and tone of voice are all essential in helping to establish rapport and build a bond,” Klamm said. Klamm is correct in stating that body language plays an important role in the networking process, considering the fact that nonverbal language constitutes nearly 55 percent of our communications. There are several basic movements to consider while approaching and conversing with others, with some of the most important falling on eye contact and arm placement. Eye Contact According to Conversation Aid, eye contact should follow the 50/70 Rule, which states an individual should maintain eye contact 50 percent of the time while speaking, and 70 percent of the time while listening, and to also be mindful of glancing habits. when you do make eye contact, maintain it for four to five seconds, slowly glance to the side, and then look back again. This will break the illusion of staring. Remember to move your eyes slowly, and always to the side. If your eyes dart away quickly it makes you looks shy or nervous. If you look down it gives the appearance that you lack confidence. Arm Movements and Stance As with eye contact, arm movements dictate your level of interest in the conversation. Typically, folded arms give a do-not-approach, bored signal, while hands clasped behind the back indicate interest. The same is true of your stance; leaning or slouching is a sign of disinterest, while standing tall with shoulders back signals interest and confidence. Being aware of others stances at these events also comes in handy, especially when you are making the rounds of the roomlook for small groups of two to three individuals who are standing slightly facing outward toward the room, which is a sign that they are open and are welcoming more people to join. Keep Moving and Have a Goal Set a goal for yourself, such as having one solid conversation or asking for one introduction, and create a game plan with concrete steps to get you there,” said  Nancy Ancowitz, USA-based author of Self-Promotion for Introverts: The Quiet Guide to Getting Ahead. This also helps to take your mind off of the fact that youre meeting important people, and instead turns your focus to accomplishing something. This then allows for less awkward moments, as youre moving around often and building solid conversations based on your goals before you go. By remaining with one person or group for only about 10 to 12 minutes apiece, you also take desperation out of the equation. A confident individual meets and greets everyone with the same amount of kindness and interest, but does not linger in hopes of an offer or to try to sell themselves. Neediness will only drive a wedge between you and the other person. Dont Make Everything About You This is a common mistake made by many at networking events, and it is one easily fallen into, since networking is supposed to be about showing what you have to offer to potential contacts and employers, right? Wrong. While it is important, as mentioned above, to have a goal in place while making the rounds, it is equally important to not make that goal about simply selling yourself. Howard Adamsky, author of  Hiring and Retaining Top IT Professionals/The Guide for Savvy Hiring Managers and Job Hunters Alike, said he developed an elevator speech that lasts thirty to forty seconds at the most. When asked, I tell people I am a writer, consultant, and public speaker who works with organizations to support growth in different areas, Adamsky said. If they want more, I answer their questions, but I never give them a 30-minute lecture. Neither should you. With that being said, it is beneficial to ask the other person questions about themselves, and even to stray away from strict vocational talk if the conversation allows. I, for one, am a fanatic motorcyclist, and this has generated more interest than the new book I just wrote, Adamsky said. Remember, relationships are more important than trying to tell everyone in the room what you do. This also plants you as an avid listener in your contacts mind, and since true listeners are very rare individuals nowadays, you will be remembered as someone who made him or her feel special someone who wasnt just there to get a job. Follow Up Youve shook hands, swapped business cards, offered to refill drinks and now youre wondering what to do with all your newfound connections. This is where those conversations you had regarding everything but a job for yourself come in handy: your contact is more likely to remember your conversation due to the fact that it was outside of the endless business conversations they had that night. Bring up, as Adamsky mentioned, your conversation on your lives as motorcyclists or a shared interest in German Shepherds anything from your conversation that will remind the person it is you, the confident listener, that is now emailing them. Social networking behind the computer has its benefits: you can connect in your pajamas and proactively escape web pages with one click. However, in implementing these tips, you may find yourself unplugging for a while, and possibly even find meeting potential employers face-to-face not as daunting as you once thought. Heck, you may even let up on the mental delete key.

Everything you need to know about living and teaching in Azerbaijan (with job postings)

Everything you need to know about living and teaching in Azerbaijan (with job postings) Whenever I have a conversation about Teach Away with someone who’s curious to learn about the world of international education, I get asked the same question: “What countries does Teach Away post jobs in?” If you’ve visited the Teach Away job board on more than one occasion, it’s likely you would have noticed a different list of available countries each time. Although there are some nations, like the United Arab Emirates, that tend to have postings up year round, most countries appear and reappear on the job board to reflect whether or not there any schools there that are currently looking to fill vacancies. Since countries pop up on the job board’s dropdown list as schools within them publicize their openings, keeping an eye on the list can reveal some countries you may not have known we have jobs in! I was taking a look at the list of countries currently with postings today and was intrigued by a country I hadn’t previously taken the time to learn about: Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is a country in southwest Asia (and partially in southeast Europe) bordering the Caspian Sea. Armenia and Turkey are to the west, Georgia and Russia to the north, and Iran to the south. I was interested in finding out a little more about the country, so I pulled up the Teach Away info page and found the following country info and quick facts about Azerbaijan: Country Information Capital - Baku Language - Azerbaijani or Azeri Population - 9.3 million Currency - Manat Government - Unitary presidential state Baku - the nation’s capital city Quick Facts Azerbaijan's national drink is tea, often sweetened with jam. Azerbaijan was the first largely muslim country to grant women the right to vote and partake in government. Neft Dashlar is the first and largest town built on stilts. The youngest International Chess Grand Master, Teymur Rajabov, was awarded the title at the age of 13. All 8,350 rivers in Azerbaijan drain into the Caspian Sea. After deciding that I definitely need to try mixing some jam into my next cup of tea, I took my Azerbaijan curiosity a step further, taking a look at what it would be like to live and teach in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan draws influence from the West as well as from its past membership in the Soviet Union, which came to an end in 1991. The country is in an exciting place as it is emerging from beneath the Iron Curtain and taking on a new identity with a healthy variety of cultural influence. Azerbaijan is home to bustling cities and small towns - across the country you’ll find both urban density and natural rural landscapes. Lakeside in the Azerbaijan country Teaching in Azerbaijan Azerbaijan’s private international schools and public schools provide great opportunities for educators of all levels, from Early Years teachers to subject-specifc teachers for international high schools. Reflecting Azerbaijan's development on the global stage, English-speaking instructors, English language teachers, and Business English teachers are in high demand. International schools in Azerbaijan areInternational Baccalaureate (IB) schools. They follow a globally recognized and highly reputable curriulum designed to equip students with life skills as well as high academic potential. IB schools require brilliant teachers in order to deliver a world-class program. Students who are successful at IB schools will be prepared and able to attend nearly any college or university of their choice. An IB program has also been recently added to Azerbaijan's public school system with the intention of instilling a global mindset in public school students. This is exciting news for the international teaching community, as these public schools will need international educators to make its IB program the best it can be. Teachers in Azerbaijan earn competitive salaries, which vary according to costs of living across the country. Benefits in Azerbaijan typically include accommodation for teachers and health insurance. Things for teachers to do in Azerbaijan Teachers living in Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku will enjoy diverse restaurants and modern facilities. As in any city, teachers are encouraged to try the local cuisine, although those looking for variety will find anything from Irish pubs to Japanese fusion. The oil-rich city boasts modern skyscrapers and luxuries, but the core of the city is an ancient historic site. History buffs can explore towers and palaces dating back centuries. Azerbaijan’s urban areas, in particular, have large populations of expats, so teachers can develop a support network while living in the country. Teachers are nevertheless encouraged to get to know local Azerbaijanis, as their unique culture illustrates the importance of personal relationships, sincerity, and tradition. Azerbaijan Travel Traveling in Azerbaijan is a rewarding challenge for those interested in this dynamic, rapidly developing country. Azerbaijan defies classification â€" situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, this fascinating nation is a mix of cultural influences. Expats in Azerbaijan will not want to miss out on the country’s historic sites and natural wonders. Azerbaijan is home to more than half of the world’s mud volcanoes and derives its name as the “land of fire” from the burning mountain, a hillside continuously engulfed in flames. The stunning Caucasus mountains provide breathtaking scenery. Visiting areas such as the picturesque shepherding village of Khinalug (Xinaliq) is easier than ever thanks to new roads. Travelers who visit Azerbaijan in the near future will be rewarded with an authentic experience before the region becomes overrun with tourists. The fact that Azerbaijan’s tourism industry is newly developing can be both difficult and gratifying. Traveling can be chal lenging, as infrastructure is not always well-developed, and few people outside of Baku speak much English. However, travelers who are up for the challenge will enjoy the authentic experience of exploring beautiful Azerbaijan. Of course the reason I came across Azerbaijan and wrote this article in the first place is because we currently have job postings for positions in Azerbaijan! If you’re qualified and seeking an International School position overseas, Azerbaijan could be the place for you. Check out a couple of current postings: MYP Science Teacher - International School - Azerbaijan IB Math Teacher - International School These aren’t the only two opportunities… See more job postings for positions in Azerbaijan International Schools here.

This means offering them guidance on dialling up or down tone, helping them to establish better character descriptions, teaching them how to develop a plot, and much, much more.Writing lessons can make you a more confident writer. Photo credit: shawncampb ell via VisualhuntAuthors, for example, especially those who are famous for working in another industry, can benefit from writing lessons to help them to understand what it is their audience wants to read. Whether they are looking to write about their eventful life or to translate a story they have imagined onto paper, writing lessons could improve their ability to connect with their readers.  Why not discover the benefits of writing  everyday here.For beginners, a writing course can be very useful in teaching the basics of the English language. Included are common spelling mistakes, how to structure a sentence, using basic English to describe objects or others and differentiating between word types and punctuation marks.Regardless of your ability, a writing course is designed to bring out the best in you as an individual so you will be able to take away valuable lessons: improving your overall literacy, trusting your creativity and getting to know your own writing style.Writing is as much about the content as it is the way in which it is written. That is why teaching people to use their imagination and to express themselves creatively is so important. Students enrolled on writing courses can benefit greatly from being encouraged to get in touch with their creative side.Where To Start When Learning to WriteLanguage is complicated, and even more so when it is your mother-tongue. This is down to the fact that you speak the language out of habit. Using words and terms accumulated over many years, rather than thinking hard about the way in which they use them, many people write in the way they would speak. However, writing and speaking are two very different things.Putting words down on paper should make  you more aware of not only what you are saying, but how you are saying it and thus makes you rethink your use of language.When starting out as a learner, there is no shame in going back to the basics, like reminding yourself that sentences begin with a capital le tter and end with a period. It is also important to remember before attempting to write any sentences that they are usually made up of a subject, verb and complement. Furthermore, sentences should never start with the words ‘But’ or ‘And’, unless the text is of a casual nature.Would you like to improve your  spelling ability as well as writing skills? Check out this blog.Do you think Britons need a boost in spelling?  They might well do, if recent studies are anything to go by.When trying to improve your writing skills, it is good to go back to basics. Photo via Visual HuntOther key lessons for beginners are that names of people and places always begin with an upper case letter, as does the pronoun ‘I’. When using ‘I’ in a sentence, the pronoun should always come last, for example ‘Jillian, Nick and I went to the shops to buy some bread’.Any teacher of writing skills will know to start off with simple tasks and to gradually build up the learners' level of experti se and, with it, their confidence. They will no doubt ask you to start by writing short and simple sentences  like: ‘I have a pet dog called Harry’, before instructing you to begin writing more complicated sentence structures.Sentences which include commas, semi-colons and colons within them are a whole other kettle of fish so may be best left until you are a proficient writer.To better understand how to form a good sentence, writers need to have grasped the basic parts of speech and be able to identify them in texts placed before them. This means that they should recognise a noun from a verb, and an adjective from an adverb before they try to use them in their work. The British Council website offers many relevant pages and courses designed for learners of English, including those wishing to improve their writing skills.Prompts work well in beginners’ classes, as does role play. An English tutor London might offer their students prompts to get them used to structuring simple sentences. These might include ‘My name is…’ and ‘I live in…’.By asking pupils to imagine they are in a shop, English tutors can encourage similar basic exchanges to help to build confidence up in the foundations of English.When a beginner is no longer a beginner and is ready to take the next step in their writing journey, they can then start using more tools. For instance, they can begin to introduce multiple adjectives, form longer sentences and cover broader subject matters. They can also play with the perspective from which the text is being written.Being a good writer is often down to confidence.If you are confident in your ability to write a well-structured and error-free piece of text, then you are more likely to go ahead and let your imagination run wild.Writing is not all about having bold ideas and a vivid imagination, however. Different types of writing skills are required across a range of fields and sectors including journalism and marketing. Is there such a thing as a perfect essay?  A writer who is good at delivering facts and does so in a very correct manner might be just as talented a writer as someone who can write 1000 pages of exciting storytelling.There are thousands of  English tutors on Superprof ready to help.How To Teach Yourself Written EnglishIndividuals can find a range of online courses designed to improve aspects of their writing, yet using free resources can be just as beneficial. Writing is very subjective so a qualification from an awarding body does not tell others what kind of writer you are.Along the same note, it is almost impossible for an examiner to assert that you have become a good writer, because everybody has their own opinion, as reiterated by novelist and professor Hanif Kureishi (see here). So, even if you pass a particular set of specifications, you could just as easily fall behind by getting writer’s block or by simply being demotivated and less productive than others.You can either sign up to an o nline writing programme, which vary in length from a couple of to a dozen weeks, or you can look at websites offering text optimisation tools. There are, for example, websites and apps designed for marketing purposes that turn a basic sentence into a slogan or enhance the given text to make it flow better.These kinds of self-help products can help you to learn how to improve your own writing on the go, but they do require you to recognise where you are going wrong instead of this being explained to you, as it would be in a class with an English tutor.Also, whether or not a site is genuine cannot be confirmed, nor can the quality if its content because, as we have already said, language is subjective.  Learn how the English language has evolved from its Germanic roots!How Reading Can Further Improve Writing in EnglishReading and writing come one with the other: there is no point in writing if it is not for readers, and vice-versa. Their close relationship means that people who read a lot are usually good writers whereas those who do not, or cannot, read even one book a month potentially struggle with their written skills.Reading is the key to improving your writing skills. Photo via VisualHuntUsing reading to your advantage means reading as much and as widely as possible to expand your vocabulary, familiarise yourself with different notions and to appreciate what feelings and emotions the writer is making you feel. It is this latter part which helps to make you a better writer, as it encourages you to learn how to get your readers to relate to you and your story.Children learn to read before they write, not because reading is easier than writing, but because reading ultimately teaches them about how to do the other. With the two coming hand in hand, reading books should be high on any writer's agenda.On Superprof, you can find English tuition throughout the UK for reading, writing and spelling in English.
