Chemistry 2 Tutor - Whats the Difference Between Chemistry 2 Tutor and the Real Course?

Chemistry 2 Tutor - What's the Difference Between Chemistry 2 Tutor and the Real Course?I don't know about you, but when it comes to giving an objective opinion on something that I've taken an interest in, my first reaction would be, 'So, what's the difference between Chemistry 2 Tutor and the Real Course? 'The reason I want to answer this question is because I took a Chemistry course from a local school in Ohio, and I was really frustrated with it.While I remember getting the information out of the textbook and some of the lessons were pretty interesting, the problem was that I couldn't think clearly and knew little about the subject. I was also being tutored by someone else.I found out later that the school had started the program after they were underperforming for a few years. The teacher had been off sick for several months and the main person who came in to teach for the next couple of years, had already taken the chemistry 2 course. After one year, they decided to change thing s up, give their students a little extra help, and they hired the new teacher for the entire class, which was very unusual.Even though I don't think that this was really necessary, it's better to have someone else teaching your Chemistry 2 course than to teach yourself. If you're struggling with the material, and you know that you have problems with reading and remembering, then it may be helpful to have someone come to your help. And when it comes to what it is that you'll learn, you'll get far more out of the real Chemistry than you will from the synthetic Chemical Alchemy teacher!On another note, if you're taking a science class with a Chemistry tutor, then it's always going to be easier for you to understand and remember. And it's easy to see why this is.Because Chemistry isn't so much about numbers, it's more about knowing how different molecules are put together and how they relate to one another. You can't really get this information through reading or listening, and with a C hemistry tutor, you have somebody to guide you along the way, guiding you and teaching you.There are some chemists that feel that chemistry is too hard, and this is probably true if you're taking the class for the first time. But if you're not already prepared, and you've taken the class before, then it's best to go with the tutor that has experience and familiarity with the material.

How do we learn Part I

How do we learn Part I How can I help my child…. learn better? …study? …do better at school? These are just some questions that I get asked by parents’ on a daily basis throughout my practice â€" and the type of questions I (Stephie S, Educational Psychologist on Tutorfair) aim to tackle in this article. The answer isn’t simple - there are a vast number of theories of how we learn; some of which contradict each other and others that complement each other. These range from Pavlov (behaviourist), to Piaget’s (cognitive) and Vygostky’s (social learning); to name a few. You could spend days sifting through evidence based theories of learning, and only touch the surface. Throughout, I find Harring et al’s (1978) hierarchy of learning provides me with a structure to better understand how to better help the pupils I work with. Acquisition: Learning a new skill is not easy! Have you noticed the large number of times babies and toddlers like to hear the same story? Sing the same nursery rhyme? Count to 20? Sing the alphabet? To help me understand this phase, I think of when I first started driving, it took me a VERY long time before I became remotely confident to manage all the skills needed so that I could drive beyond 20mph. Some people acquire certain skills quite easily and struggle with others â€" have you noticed a difference between your ability to pick up languages? Number facts? Dance sequences? How do I know when my child is moving to the fluency stage? They: Can do the skill accurately BUT cannot do anything else as they require a great deal of concentration and attention to execute the skill For example, when I first started driving I struggled if I had the radio on while driving as it was too much of a distraction (but that may just be me!) Fluency: How do I know when my child is in this phase? This is when your child begins to do the skill With increased speed With confidence While doing other, simple tasks at the same time This is the stage at which ‘overlearning’ needs to take place, so as to increase the speed and ease at which your child can complete the target skill. Back to my learning to drive analogy, this is when I was able to drive and listen to the radio. How do I know when my child is moving to the Generalisation stage? They can: execute the skill accurately with relative ease BUT struggle to generalise it to different settings. Generalisation: How do I know when my child is in this phase? They start to learn to use the skill in different contexts For example, when they are able to read the words they learnt off a flash card, in a book OR use the times tables they have learnt in their maths work. How do I know when my child is moving to the Adaptation stage? They are: able to do the learnt skill in a variety of learnt contexts Adaptation: How do I know when my child is in this phase? The target skill: is strong in all settings and contexts can be executed with relative ease can be performed alongside other tasks In this stage they are learning to adapt it to new and novel situations. For example, now I can listen to radio and drive in most weather conditions and at all times of the day. For more information on this topic, head to How do we learn? - Part II (coming soon) for ways on supporting your child progress through these 4 stages Although this has been written in the context of how children learn, it is in fact applicable for how all of us learn new skills. Have you experienced this pyramid when acquiring a new skill recently?

Troubleshooting Your Student

Troubleshooting Your Student Five reasons why your child’s grades may be suffering.It’s the most frustrating, heart breaking thing in the world when your child is not thriving at their school and you don’t know why. Here are the five most common reasons at the core of poor grades, and a few suggestions to course correct the issue. 1. Learning StylesWhile there are many types of learners, teachers are fairly limited in the methods they can use to teach a particular subject. Your student may favor a hands-on (kinesthetic) approach, but the teacher may only be able to accommodate for a lecture and a few examples, leaving your child lost in the woods, or simply bored. Fortunately, this particular issue is an easy fix. Depending on your child’s learning style, there are a variety of techniques to tutor any given subject. Youtube and Pinterest are great resources for educational games and ideas.2. Lack of EngagementEveryone has a subject they don’t like. Either your student feels he or she has already mastered the subject and has no vested interest in the material, or the material simply is not interesting. If the first, schools often offer screening for gifted and talented programs. Psychology Today also offers some wonderful resources and insight on how to gauge if and how far your child is ahead of the curve. If the second, try to find a way to relate the subject to their interests. It might be hard to get a History buff to care about Math, but if they hear the story of the life and times of Pythagoras, they might be a little more inclined to crunch some numbers.3. Time ManagementLet’s be honest: even you procrastinate sometimes. It’s hard to get excited about work when just outside your window it’s warm and sunny. Try introducing a routine and don’t be afraid to add in 10-15 minute study breaks, maybe every hour or between subjects. After sitting through seven hours of school and two or three more hours of homework it’s easy to burn out. If you break up the work into parcels, it’s much easier to focus on the task at hand.4. DisorganizationHow do you study for a test when your dog has apparently eaten your notes with fava beans and a nice chianti? Set aside separate folders and notebooks for each subject and take a few minutes after homework and before bed organizing them. I t also helps to have designated pockets in your child’s backpack for certain supplies, such as pencils and pens in one area, cell phone and wallet in another. For the hard luck cases, some tutoring services, such as Frog Tutoring, also offer organizational assistance as part of their tutoring packages.5. Self-EsteemEducation is a self-fulfilling prophecy, but it is easy to get discouraged. Remind your student that there is no such thing as stupid; it’s only a matter of finding the best way to understand. Personal issues, such as bullying or major life events, may also affect how much focus he or she is putting on school. Generally speaking, the best way to solve these problems is to talk to and really listen to your child. About 90% of building a relationship with a student is just making sure that they understand that when they speak, they are heard. Note: This post was written by Megan Ybarra for FrogTutoring

5 things to know before teaching in Korea

5 things to know before teaching in Korea Experienced ESL teacher, Adrian, at Teach Away shares some essential insight into living and teaching in South Korea.1. Learn some basics of the Korean language. Even a few key phrases can go a long way when it comes to carrying out basic tasks and getting around. Take the time to study correct pronunciation. You wouldn't want to end up confusing a hot pepper for a part of the male anatomy. Trust me.2. Don't expect students, especially younger ones, to behave as they do in Western countries. Students are well-disciplined and friendly - not to say that they aren't in Western schools. But you may see students of the same gender sitting on each other's laps outside of class, or holding hands down the halls; a little friendlier than my school days I'd say.3. Take your job seriously and you’ll be rewarded. You may find some foreign teachers are in Korea just for fun and not really focusing on student needs. Don't be phased by them. Korea is known for it's strong work ethic. Follow suit and your experience will flourish with your employers.4. Make the most of your free time. Anytime you're off from teaching, you should be taking advantage of the beautiful sites around Korea. Travel is cheap and easy. Whether visiting Jeju island for it's famous views and oranges, or a day trip into Seoul for late night shopping, there's never an excuse to be a shut in.  5. Mild food is still spicy. Better yet, there is no mild option in Korea. You'll either learn to love the spiciness of food in Korea, or quickly learn to, as I did. Not everything is spicy, but just be warned. Korean food is delicious, so don’t be afraid to be adventurous.Find out more about teaching in Korea here and search for our current teaching positions in Korea here.
