How to Find a Good Chemistry Tutor

How to Find a Good Chemistry TutorYou're a budding chemist with a strong interest in chemistry and are eager to start your chemistry studies but just don't know how to find a good chemistry tutor? This is a common problem and you will find that many chemistry teachers around the world are struggling to help their students to achieve this aim. Even if you've already taken up your first university chemistry course, it's important that you continue your studies as chemistry is a very broad subject, as well as a hard one.The best way to find a good chemistry tutor is to seek out information from those who have been successful at achieving this goal. They can guide you in some ways on how to find a good chemistry tutor online or even by contacting a private tutor in your local area. Whatever you do, it's important that you know the value of the advice given by someone who has been there before.When you look for a chemistry tutor it's important that you are flexible and willing to change c ourse if you realise that you are not enjoying your studies or there are a few areas that are not being tackled properly. There's a lot of information available about the topic that you're studying so it's important that you utilise this before you look to find a good chemistry tutor. If you get all the information that you need from a good online chemistry tutor, then you should be able to decide on what course to take, what subjects to cover and the learning style that is going to suit you best. Once you know what you want to do, then you should be able to find a tutor who will be able to help you achieve your goal.Chemistry is a very broad subject and it's extremely difficult to cover all the different branches of this subject without a specialist chemist who specialises in it. It's possible to become a professional chemist without having any specialist knowledge and this would require that you get involved in a course or take part in an internship. These two methods are both hig hly recommended if you want to learn how to find a good chemistry tutor online.Another option if you have just begun your studies in chemistry is to join an online chemistry course. Online courses are often very expensive and it's important that you don't become trapped into signing up for something that is unlikely to be suited to your needs.

Whilst online courses are great, they don't guarantee you will reach your goals in chemistry. If you can't afford the online course, then you might need to look for a private tutor who can offer advice for your particular situation.Taking part in online courses is very beneficial but you must make sure that it suits your schedule, finances and the le vel of chemistry that you're interested in. Some people find that online classes are too structured and that's why they find it difficult to understand their lessons, so it's important that you find a tutor who you can understand and learn with.

5 Things to do Before Going Back to School This Fall

5 Things to do Before Going Back to School This Fall Five Things Every Student Should do Before Going Back to School this Fall Fall is just around the corner, and there are a few short days left until students go back to school. There are some things every student should do before going back to the classroom to be successful and have a well-balanced and low-stress experience throughout the year. Its important to get organized, be mentally rested, and prepare for the year ahead. Students who know what to expect during the first weeks of school are much more likely to be successful overall and enjoy this time of their life as they receive their K-12 education. 1. Organize your workspace Students who have an organized workspace will be able to jump right into homework assignments that will appear sooner than they might think. Students should have access to a desk, paper and pencil to take notes, a laptop or desktop computer, various highlighters, sticky notes and other helpful organizational tools, and a comfortable chair. Keeping on top of assignments and deadlines as well as keeping subjects separated will help students of any grade level prepare for the year ahead (READ: Get your elementary school kid ready for back-to-school in the Fall). 2. Join a study group Most students end up joining a study group after they start falling behind on assignments. However, its better to join a study group before school even starts and get to know other dedicated classmates who will be supportive and serve as good peer role models. Each member of the group should have similar goals and enough time to dedicate to the success of the group. When students break up tasks and help each other stay organized they end up being more successful in general and also have higher self-esteem when it comes to academics. 3. Finish last-minute summer assignments Students in younger grades wont start academic work until the school year starts up in a couple of weeks. Older students, however, may have had summer assignments that are due on the very first day of class. Advanced placement courses have a long list of summer assignments, so its important that students finish all of these assignments in the next few days to avoid falling behind. Additionally, students who are preparing to take their SAT or ACT in the fall want to make sure they have completed all the test prep needed before they tackle classroom assignments. 4. Meet up with school friends Many young students have different friends at school than during the summer. This is especially true for kids who live far away from their local school or attend a private school program. The first day of school is a lot easier when kids can look forward to seeing a good group of friends at the other end of the room. Its a great idea to meet up with school friends before the first day so students can reacquaint themselves and make some plans after school to make the first couple of weeks enjoyable. 5. Find out about the new teacher Students will also be getting to know a new teacher once they start school in the fall and may be a little bit stressed out wondering who he or she will be. Classroom lists are usually available a few days before the start of the school year so kids can find out who their new teacher will be. This takes a little bit of uncertainty out of the first day and makes it easier for kids to feel comfortable in the classroom environment. Start the school year off strong!

An Interns Guide Managing Your Companys Social Media Pages

An Intern's Guide Managing Your Company's Social Media Pages Image via Pexels 1. Build the profile If your company does not already have a social media page and you are making one from scratch, do not freak out it is not as hard as it seems. Building a social media account for your company requires a few key steps, all simple but important. Ginny Mineo of HubSpot notes 12 Dos and Don’ts of Using Facebook for Business, noting to  â€œuse a recognizable profile picture, include relevant information about your company in the ‘about’ section, and tailor organic posts.” The first two tips noted may seem obvious, but they are important nonetheless! The third tip, “tailor organic posts” essentially means to utilize the targeting tools Facebook has in order to select your audience by traits such as gender, age, educational level, religion, etc. This is important as it will help your content go to the right audience, only boosting the success of your company. 2. Plan your activity As an intern, you are going to be required to make posts either on a daily or weekly basis. In order to keep your company’s page relevant and updated, you should build a schedule that includes certain tasks you want to accomplish for the company each day. Megan Conely of socialmediaexaminer.com said the following: “For example, comment on and/or link content on three different  Facebook pages. On  Twitter, tweet and retweet 3-5 times per day (you can schedule these). If you’re using  Pinterest, pin and repin 3-5 images per day. If  LinkedIn is the best platform for your audience, share a link and like other people’s links.” By frequently engaging on your social media account, the brand of your company constantly builds, which can then allow you to be more involved in different groups and communities! 3. Note specific trends While you are managing your company’s social media account, it is important to record certain trends that occur relating to your company. Emily Cobb of HootSuite recommends that the most important aspects to keep note of are, “mentions of your brand or product, purchase intent, and industry news and updates.” Mentions of your company’s brand or product can be done by typing their name in the search bar with either a keyword or hashtag and can help determine the frequency of people checking out your company. Emily states that purchase intent can help establish your audience and suggests, “instead of only listing your brand keywords in streams, for example, list words that customers might use when they’re looking for a solution that your company solves or they’re evaluating your product.” Image via Pexels   Taking control of your company’s social media pages is not that hard, see? All it takes is knowing how to start and what to do from there. Especially if you understand technology easily and are familiar with social media sites, managing one for a company is a breeze! The great thing about social media and management is that while part of it relies on concrete rules, another part if it relies on you and your creativity! So, let your greatest qualities show and take advantage of all the connections possible through the internet as always, good luck!

The Pros and Cons of New Years Resolutions for Children - ALOHA Mind Math

The Pros and Cons of New Year’s Resolutions for Children New Year’s resolutions for children ages 5 to 12, when done well, can be a positive experience. However, if done poorly, they can set up a child to feel disappointed and inadequate, according to mother of three and family therapist Michele Southworth of the Council for Relationships in Philadelphia PA. Unkept New Year’s resolutions can be even more demotivating for kids, than they can be for adults. “New Year’s resolutions are hard enough for adults. Let’s not model for our children the feelings of making a promise to change that, by February 1, they’ve forgotten or failed; let’s not set up our kids to have that experience,” said Ms. Southworth. Resolutions can Help Teach your Children about the Decision-Making Process According to Ms. Southworth, resolutions can be looked at as laying the groundwork to help children learn about the decision-making process and, when achieved, can build confidence for many kids. They can be an opportunity to help children learn how to set realistic goals, and to spearhead a discussion on realistic thinking. Parents and children can have a very fruitful conversation how to go about making choices for yourself, and being responsible for your own success and how having goals can be helpful in life. “Achieving a New Year’s resolution can help children develop a sense of self, and of being a capable person. It can help them learn to make a decision, to evaluate it, and then to make it happen,” Ms. Southworth said. “These are work-related skills that can have a lot of value over time, but they are most effective when there is no parental pressure, and when the goals are realistic and internally-driven,” she added. Two Concerns to Watch for When Setting New Year’s Resolutions with Kids Parents need to guide children in a reality-based discussion that is supportive in helping a child develop the skills to make decisions. “There needs to be a balance between setting realistic, achievable goals and perhaps pushing themselves a bit to reach them, rather than feeling parental pressure to do so,” Ms. Southworh said. Resolutions Need to Come from the Child, not the Parents “One thing to definitely watch for is parents suggesting or setting goals for kids, rather than the child selecting a goal for him or herself,” said Southworth. For example, if a child says, “I don’t know what I should pick as a resolution,” a parent suggesting, “Wouldn’t it be great if your New Year’s resolution was to lose some weight,” is loaded with problems. “Parents should not try and sell their own ideas of a resolution to the kids. Adults need to be very clear whose goal it is,” she added. Externally-motivated resolutions can set up destructive habit patterns of pleasing others at the expense of one’s own needs, and a feeling of failure, even though the goal was not something they really wanted. If parents wish the child would pick a resolution like, “I will get my homework done on time,” the parent should really think of making their OWN resolution instead along the lines of, “I find ways to make it easier for my child to get his/her homework do ne on time this year,” and let the child select something of his/her own desires. Resolutions for Children Younger than 10 “Most kids under 10 don’t really have enough of a sense of time or managing themselves for resolutionsto really work,” according to Ms. Southworth. To increase the potential for success for children under 10 pick very simple and achievable goals. Recognize that for your child to be successful, parental involvement may be required. With young children, you might think about a one-time goal, or something that can be repeated monthly, rather than a longer, broader goal. One resolution is more than enough for most children. How to Start a Conversation about New Year’s Resolutions Ms. Southworth suggested a conversation starter such as: with the new year coming up, some people choose to create a New Year’s resolution to help them make changes in the coming year. “Is there anything that you would like to be doing differently this year? Or something you want to learn to do, or to do more of, or less of than you’ve been doing?” The younger the child, the simpler the resolution should be. If the child picks a wildly unreachable goal parents can talk them through the decision process, “Let’s think how complicated or not that goal is what’s going to be involved in your doing that?” Without squashing their enthusiasm, adults can talk through the mechanics asking, How hard will it be to do that?” said Ms. Southworth. You can talk about how aiming very high can help them push their boundaries and achieve more than they thought, but that setting a goal too high can leave them frustrated and disappointed if they end up not achieving it. Resolutions for an Older or more Mature for their Age Child Another thing to discuss with older children is to ask how will the child know if they succeeded, how can they measure how well they did? Again, without adding pressure. Ms. Southworth suggested that giving incentives if they follow through on a resolution is usually not effective. Is the child doing the resolution because of an internal motivation or only for the reward? Incentives can also lead to more pressure around the resolution than is good for kids. One of the goals of ALOHA Mind Maths programs is to build confidence in our students. We hope this article helps you decide if New Years resolutions can help build your childs confidence or not, and if so, how to go about it constructively.

Marcus and Xavier Individuals in their own right, but on the same path towards learning success

Marcus and Xavier Individuals in their own right, but on the same path towards learning success Marcus and Xavier: Individuals in their own right, but on the same path towards learning success Marcus and Xavier are seven year old twin brothers who light up their local Kumon Math Reading Center with their wit and charm. Marcus gave his Kumon Instructor a chuckle when he told her he was too tired to get his Kumon homework 100 percent correct. Xavier is good humored and studious. Their individuality complements each other as it gives rise to them both meeting their learning goals. In the first grade, reading wasn’t as enjoyable an experience for Marcus as it was for Xavier. In school, Marcus was required to attend tutoring instead of gym class, leaving him feeling frustrated and in the shadow of his brother, Xavier. At the start of the second grade, their parents enrolled them in the Kumon Reading Program. By the end of the school year, Marcus’ reading and comprehension abilities improved, along with his grades and confidence. Marcus beamed when presented with a Perseverance Award from his school. The siblings are on par with their academic progress and Marcus and Xavier have been honor roll students for the past three marking periods at school. Both Marcus and Xavier also achieved Kumon Advanced Student Honor Roll (ASHR) status in Reading. ASHR is awarded to students working on Kumon assignments that are above their current grade level. The boys picked up such a love for reading and every night they fall asleep with a book, says Christina, their mother. “My husband reads a scary book to them every night, and if he forgets they make sure to remind him.” Their dad, Nando, brings them to the Kumon Center, making sure they are prepared and organized for class. Christina balances their time between academic and recreational activities, knowing when they need a small break from all things academic to engage in other activities. Working closely with their Kumon Instructor, both parents understand Kumon’s independent learning approach and have enjoyed seeing their boys flourish in school. After about a year into the Kumon Reading Program, Marcus and Xavier were enrolled in the Kumon Math Program. Pairing the reading program with the math program builds a solid foundation in their learning abilities. “Marcus and Xavier have become individuals and it’s really cool to observe them grow and advance on their own,” says Ryanne, their Kumon Instructor.   Given their current learning pace, by 6th grade, it’s likely they will be at the Kumon advanced algebra level, working their way up to the factor theorem. “I really can’t wait,” beams their Kumon Instructor. What a support trifecta â€" Marcus and Xavier have each other, their parents and their Kumon Instructor, all cheering them along the road of success.
