Teacher Tutor Rates - How To Get The Right Rate!

Teacher Tutor Rates - How To Get The Right Rate!Being a teacher is one of the most important jobs that you can get. A well experienced teacher will have his own form of fame, but he has to follow the instructions given by the government, the law and also the standards of the discipline. He has to obey his teachers and always keep his hands free from personal corruption.A good teacher will get promotion very quickly. To become a teacher, you need to complete the requirement tests for the post. The tests will not be carried out for long as you want to work very quickly so that you can take on your position. You are required to have a high grade so that you can get the post of teacher.Most of the people who are in the teacher profession do not have high grades. They earn a low salary and do not have any other job to support their family. They are deprived of the education that they have earned.This has created many problems as the salary of the teachers is less than that of other employ ees and they do not get very high pay. They are under the government's eye. Many schools have started allowing the teachers to leave the institution after a year. Some have gone for more than 10 years.Now the schools are only looking at the school papers and if they are able to get some high value they are more likely to retain them. The times have changed but the system has not changed and so the teachers are still forced to cheat in order to get good grades. They have to change the format and the subject matter of the tests to suit the kids' likes.The teachers are aware of this fact and so they always try to cheat in order to keep the students satisfied. The students will start to cheat as well and that is the main reason for the rise in the teacher tutoring fees. The fact is that there are a lot of people who are suffering because of the incompetence of the teachers.There is new technology being introduced in schools but the teachers have not adapted to it. So the test results ha ve remained unimpressive. The whole issue has become quite important and hence many people are blaming the teachers for the same.

A 5 Point Review of 2 Minute GMATs Daily Email Service

A 5 Point Review of 2 Minute GMAT's Daily Email Service GMAT MBA Admissions Blog A few months ago, the founder of 2 Minute GMAT contacted us at MyGuru about forming a partnership involving guest blogging and other shared marketing activities. As a provider of customized, in-person and online one-on-one GMAT prep, we are always looking for high quality partners who offer products and services that nicely complement GMAT tutoring. So, we took him up on the offer, but not before asking for a free trial of his product. Our quick summary â€" for $29.99 for three months of emails about the GMAT and business school, the service is pretty good, but not great. That said, for $29.99, I wouldn’t expect great. It provides legitimate GMAT practice and business school advice, but some of the information provided gets relatively simple and would be free in dozens of other places. That said, the price is right and it’s not a bad study tool at all (especially for $29.99). 2 Minute GMAT is a service that sends you 10 GMAT questions every day for 3 months via email. In addition, each email comes with a few quick facts about the GMAT or applying to business school. Given that a test prep book typically costs at least $25.00, a test prep class costs $1,000+, and private GMAT tutoring costs between $50 and $250 per hour, 2 Minute GMAT’s price of $29.99 for this three month service seems reasonable right off the bat. In our mind, the best use of this service would be to layer on 2 Minute GMAT over your existing prep plan. In other words, simply take 15 minutes each day to complete the 10 questions. After three months, you will have completed 90 days x 10 questions a day = 900 more questions than you otherwise would have. Of course, if the emails and questions you get every day aren’t useful, it might be worth paying $29.99 to avoid having the emails clog your inbox, but based on our review, $29.99 is well worth it for the service for 5 basic reasons: The GMAT questions you get each day are reasonably difficult. We had a 700+ GMAT scorer answer the questions each day for a few days, and he was scoring 8-9 out of 10 each day. So, these obviously aren’t the most difficult GMAT questions, but they force you to think. The GMAT questions cover all sections of the GMAT â€" so, it’s a nice broad overview of the GMAT. The emails do sometimes provide helpful GMAT tips. For example, this tip on GMAT sentence correction is not bad at all: “Sentence Correction questions often have long sentences where the main subject and the verb are separated by many words. With these questions, you must identify the subject of each sentence and make sure the verb matches it in number. Typical errors have a plural noun taking a singular verb and a singular subject taking a plural verb. To study for these questions, practice identifying the subject and verb of every sentence correction question.” The business school facts in each email are sometimes interesting (though not always). Here are some examples â€" “A part-time MBA is ideal for the individual who wants to earn an MBA but cannot take time away from his or her career. Part-time programs will enable you to balance school on a part-time basis with your full-time job. An individual will graduate with the same degree and education, although frequently it takes a longer to complete the curriculum…part-time programs typically take two or three years to complete. and “At the Tuck School of Business, in 2009 the average GMAT score of incoming students was 710, and the average undergraduate GPA was 3.4.” and “The Northwestern JD-MBA program is completed in three years, as opposed to the four years required at most institutions. The price is right - $29.99 for three months of information about the GMAT and business school, topics you are obviously interested in, isn’t bad at all. We hope you found this review of 2 Minute GMAT helpful. Comments are welcome. Also visit our MyGuru GMAT Tutoring page to learn more about our services.

Idioms and a Magic Roundabout

Idioms and a Magic Roundabout I recently spent time in  Medellín, Colombia, where a roundabout in the road meant driving into a clustered mess of cars, darting out when you see your exit and hoping for the best.  However, in Swindon, England they  really hit the nail on the head.  It seems that adding more circles to a roundabout would only make it more chaotic, but in the following video youll see how well it works.  Watch this short video, then answer the questions in the comments section to practice your listening comprehension and some commonly used idioms.What does England like to call some of its intersections?Why would you think the Brits are off their rockers upon seeing this roundabout?For how many years has this roundabout been working?How can people avoid traffic in this roundabout?You just _____ your vehicle ______  where you wanna go, _____  to cars already in the _____  of the magic, then Brexit on the other side.How did Swindon use the roundabout to celebrate a town anniversary?Now, lets take a look at some commonly used idioms:lose the plotcant understand what is happening. (He has lost the plot.)at the drop of a hatinstantly (I would go to that show at the drop of a hat.)beat around the bushavoid the main topic (Dont beat around the bush.)hit the nail on the headdo or say something exactly right (You hit the nail on the head.)off ones  rockercrazy (You are off your rocker.)Your challenge this week: use all of these idioms in one short story/paragraph.  Well respond and share the most creative or humorous  responses!

3 Signs Its Time To Transfer Colleges

3 Signs It's Time To Transfer Colleges Photo by Buro Millennial from Pexels #1. You Finished Your Associate’s Degree If you have finished your college studies up to the point that you have achieved your Associate’s Degree, then you are at a really good stopping point to transfer schools. An Associate’s Degree basically encompasses all of your general education requirements, without necessarily going (or going too far) into your major’s requirements. A big concern with transferring schools is that you will lose credits for classes that you have already takenâ€"just because you transferred does not mean your credits will. But an Associate’s Degree is a good springboard that will help more of your classes be accepted if and when you do transfer schools. The degree basically offers you a lifetime lock on the credits you have already completed. It is often cheaper to get your Associate’s Degree from a community college and then transfer to a four-year college or university for the specialized classes from your major. Why pay more for the same classes? And if you find that your studies are not a great fit, you transfer schools and it is still not a great fit and you decide to leave school if you did not first earn your Associate’s Degree when you leave school you will have nothing to show for it. If you use your Associate’s Degree as the turning point, you will always at least have that degree on your resume. #2. Your Major Program Is Not What You Wanted Maybe you are super psyched about being a theatre major. Or a business major. Or whatever major it is that you chose. But something about the program your school offers makes you sort of hesitant. If you are a theatre major, maybe the program does not offer enough support to those students interested in aspects of the field besides acting. If you are a business major, there is not enough emphasis on entrepreneurship, which is what you are most interested in. Yeah sure, you could get by, but you are not getting what you wanted or needed from the program you are enrolled in. If you are not getting what you are paying for our of the program, it might be time to transfer colleges and into a program that better matches your goals. #3. The College Just Is Not the Right Fit Sometimes, the best-laid plans go awry. Maybe you researched the heck out of this school before you chose it. Maybe you visited campus a dozen times before you started there. Maybe you talked to several people who do or have attended the school. But once you were actually there, enrolled as a full-time student, you just knew something was not quite right. Maybe you thought you would like a small student body, but now you feel as if you know everyone but can’t find the right people to fit in with. Maybe you thought you could handle harsh weather, but once you were living in it, you hated it. Maybe you thought an urban or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, a rural environment might be best for you but once there, you knew it just was not the right vibe. Sometimes, a school will simply not be the right fit for you. There’s nothing wrong with thatâ€"you just need to find a better fit! pexels.com In the end, only you can decide if it the right time for you to transfer colleges or if transferring colleges is really the right fit for you. But keep a close eye on the signs because you want to make your future as bright as possible while keeping yourself happy and healthy too. Keep in mind that everyone’s college journey is a little bit different and there is no shame in doing things at your own pace and in your own way. Good luck!

Fun Activities that Dont seem like Learning for Kids but are - ALOHA Mind Math

Fun Activities that Don’t seem like Learning for Kids but are Some fun activities for children are just thatfun activities. Other activities you can do with your child can sneak learning in with your child not even knowing it. Cooking is a Great way to get Children to use Math and morewhile having Fun Cooking is something you can do with your children. Yes, it might make a bit of a mess, but it is a great opportunity for your kids to use their brains in a different way. What can children learn while cooking with you? -Math and counting skills while measuring, fractions and volume -Following instructions such as a recipe -Creativity extrapolating from a recipe that you know, and making a few changes to make it more interesting. With some recipes, you can change some things, but not others especially in baking where exact measurements are crucial -Decision-making how to put together a meal, what main dish, sides, and desserts. Or how to get out your tools and ingredients first, then get cooking. -Knowing how to cook simple items can help you child build confidence in their abilitiesbut make sure they stick with simple things, and are not doing too much unsupervised in the kitchen. There are many sites on the internet and books about cooking with children to help you get started. Gardening is another great way to Engage Children in Learning Gardening, especially vegetable gardening is both physical and mental. If you involve your child from the very beginning and walk them through the decisions you have to make, that is a big head start on learning. What skills would your child gain by gardening with you? -Decision-making and problem-solving where to place your garden in your yard, or where to expand your garden, (this can even be done on a small scale in a sunny apartment window). What vegetables to choose based on what the family likes and the sun, soil and moisture you have in your yard. Also, what hardiness zone you are in (what plants will grow in various parts of the country.) -Veggie gardening also helps kids connect with where the food on our table comes from. I remember my young nephew liking French fries, but not believing that baked or mashed potatoes were from the same vegetable. -Gardening is also a lesson in setting and achieving a goal: taking steps along the way, from planting to watering, to harvestingand in managing expectations not everything we grow will make it to the table. Again, there are many sites on the internet and books about gardening to give you tips and ideas. Playing Video Games in Moderation has more Benefits than you Think Many parents have a love-hate relationship with video games, on the computer, with game consoles on the TV, tablets and smartphones. They can entertain your child, but often it is hard to pull them away. Yes, we need balance, but the next time you child wants to play a digital game, ask them to teach you how to play and then take turns. Or find a game that you can play together, or one that has two players so you can play at the same time. Some games are created to be educational as well as entertaining. Of course, make sure that the games are age-appropriate for your child before you jump in. But you’d be surprised at how much the brain has to work at some games even those that are not “educational.” -Have them teach you how to play the game. It can give the self-confidence, and by teaching they have to think through what they do. -Educational games make help them learn or use math or vocabulary words or other school-based skills -Problem solving most games have rules kids have to figure out a strategy how to play and how to make progress in a game. Usually each level adds new twists, and decisions, to the game. -Decision-making and consequences many games have interactions and choices that have an effect on the next steps in a game. Doing something questionable, often has negative consequences. -Imagination kids think about games even when they are not playing. Just like you imagine in a book and what will happen next. -Reading yes reading! Many games incorporate reading to learn the rules of the game at least. But often kids get motivated by games like Minecraft to learn more about how to do or build more things in the game. They may ask you to help them get onto the internet and research game guides. Studies have shown that often these game guides are at a reading level higher than they normally read, but they are motivated to read and look up words and concepts so they can play better. -Cooperation some games are single player, some are cooperative, some are competitive. Each game type can teach kids lessons about these things. But even solo games can help kids make friendsother kids who play the same game. -Even playing board games with your children can help them learn some of the same things. So try involving your children in gardening, cooking and games and let us know the results. What tips do you have for getting your kids involved in these tasks, or when have you seen your children learning, when they didn’t even realize it?

Net Ionic Equations

Net Ionic Equations Objective: In this lesson, the student will learn how to identify and write net ionic equations.Net ionic equations result from double displacement reactions in which free ions in aqueous solution react to form either a precipitate, a gas, a weak electrolyte, or water.Strategy for Writing Net Ionic EquationsIf one reactant is an acid, check for gaseous products (i.e., CO2, H2S, SO2, or NH3 gases).If one reactant is a base, check for gaseous products (i.e., NH3 or CO2 gases).An acid + a base produces a salt + water.Check for precipitates using the activity series of metals and a solubility table.Activity Series of Metals Solubility TableRemember!All chemical equations must be balanced.In double displacement reactions, the sum of ion charges on both sides of the equation must be balanced.ExampleWrite a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of sodium sulfide and hydrochloric acid. Na2S (aq) + HCl (aq) ? ? If one reactant is an acid (HCl), check for gaseous products.Na2S (aq) + HCl (aq) ? H2S (g) + NaCl (aq)Balance. Na2S (aq) + 2 HCl (aq) ? H2S (g) + 2 NaCl (aq) The above is called a molecular equation: all reactants and products are expressed as compounds.From the molecular equation, identify the ions in solution. Note that the H2S is a gas and is not in aqueous solution. 2 Na+ (aq) + S2- (aq) + 2 H+ (aq) + 2 Cl- (aq) ? H2S (g) + 2 Na+ (aq) + 2 Cl- (aq) The aqueous 2 H+ and S2- ions react to form H2S (g). The remaining aqueous 2 Na+ and 2 Cl- ions appear on both sides of the equation and are spectators. That is, they do not participate in the reaction and can be eliminated.2 Na+ (aq) + S2- (aq) + 2 H+ (aq) + 2 Cl- (aq) ? H2S (g) + 2 Na+ (aq) + 2 Cl- (aq) After eliminating the spectator ions from the reaction, the net ionic equation is S2- (aq) + 2 H+ (aq) ? H2S (g)
