Unh Tutoring - Is it Really Better Than a Traditional School?

Unh Tutoring - Is it Really Better Than a Traditional School?UH tutoring is a modern approach to what was once only done by other schools. There are still traditional schools that make the same mistakes with their programs. Other educational institutes have stopped keeping up with technology and have not been able to get their programs to become much better and cheaper as they were promised. This is why students want to seek out an alternative.Traditional education was all about socialization. These institutions came to be about teaching everyone the skills necessary to create an impact on society through their education. Those skills included etiquette, manners, and etiquette.Need for talent is always there in society. However, a lot of schools seem to be neglecting their ability to find the most talented students and what better way to do so than to look at what else their competitors are doing? They continue to hire some of the same folks and hire the same teachers because it is a ll about the bottom line.The United States has never had enough education to satisfy its workforce. Schools around the world are not doing a good job of producing graduates. They are simply not making enough money. With this in mind, how can a society afford to educate its people?Some reasons people choose unh tutoring are that it is cheaper. Nowadays, students can find cheap tuition online. For those who opt to attend school through traditional methods, there are the option of paying the fees and what not. They can also do so after their parents decide that it is time to pay the bills.One thing that students find attractive about these programs is that they do not have to endure the program anymore. They can graduate from their courses whenever they feel that they are ready to. That is a feature that no other program that people can come up with can offer.Nowadays, colleges and universities are not offering as many courses for a college education as they used to. It is therefore to the point that they are offering programs that are now one and a half years long. Students would rather have a two year degree to take part in the workforce rather than a five year degree.

GCSE French Exam Tips from Top Volunteer Tutor

GCSE French Exam Tips from Top Volunteer Tutor GCSE French exam tips Annick S is a French tutor and Tutorfair Foundation volunteer. With exam season fast approaching, she offers her top exam tips for GCSE French. Before starting the paper Good exam technique begins before even putting pen to paper. Annick recommends: “First of all remember to read the text of the essay correctly several times.” Once you are sure you have understood the question, it is then time to brainstorm. At this point Annick says, “write some ideas, arguments you wish to use for and against.” Whilst jotting down notes she advises you, “think of your vocabulary and write down some expressions you could use to make it better.” When answering the questions Once you've read, highlighted and annotated the question it is time to start responding. Annick recommends that you pause before you start and, “take few minutes to reflect on the topic and put your ideas together.” After each answer ask yourself, “what could you add or mention to improve the content.” Some areas she suggests thinking about are: 1. Conditional/Subjunctive verb tenses 2. the structures of your phrases and 3. the connections in between phrases If you are stuck on what else to write, she says you should  consider: 1. what you think of the situation? 2. How could you improve it? 3. Do you give your opinion enough? After answering the questions It is important to check over your answers once you are finished responding to the questions. Annick says, “Sentences must not be too simple. Show you have [good] vocabulary and [demonstrate that you have] grammatical knowledge as well. Take time to check your spelling and the content of your ideas.” Annick has been teaching for many years  yet she still honed her skills through volunteering in schools with the Foundation. At the  Tutorfair Foundation we offer free tuition to students who can't afford private lessons. To achieve this we partner with schools to send tutors to work with classes and groups that receive free school meals - a useful measurement of childhood deprivation. The children benefit from the extra education and the tutors develop their skill set. You can book Annick for French tuition on Tutorfair.com

The Ultimate Apartment Search Checklist

The Ultimate Apartment Search Checklist Via (Wikimedia Commons) Rent Be sure to ask these questions about dates and amounts, among other important issues relating to your rent bill. Things to look out for: *Are the offered rates compatible with that of other complexes and buildings in the area? *What, other than the rent, is included in the monthly bill (i.e., trash fees)? *Are there other one-time application fees? Application fees and parking permit charges are usually charged at the time of leasing agreement, but you should know in advance. Add them all up and compare to other places; the little details make the biggest difference. Questions to ask: 1) Can the monthly rate be pro-rated by scale size? 2) When does rent have to paid? Many leases require you to pay at the beginning of the month, but you may be able to come to better arrangements with your lease manager if you have issues with that. 3) How do I pay? Some leasing managers have you sign into online systems while others ask for money orders or checks. 4) Is the security deposit refundable? Apartment Fees Sometimes, your rental rate includes additional fees that will either benefit or hurt your outlook on the apartment. Things to look out for: *What does parking availability look like? *The distance from the parking lot to the front door: Safety is an issue if your city has some scary crime rate or you’re used to getting home late. You might want to be within a few minute’s distance just to be sure. *Check on renovation charges. Some apartments may be offered that are more expensive because of new kitchen appliances and flooring upgrades. If you don’t feel the need to spend more money, you’ll survive in an older apartment just fine. *Renewal benefits: For some properties, leases, if renewed, can help you keep the rent at the same rate, while other complexes decide to charge returning tenants a more expensive price than new tenants would pay. Questions to ask: 1) What is the estimated amount for utilities? Not all people leave their lights on or the water running so this number changes per apartment. It’s still a good number to keep in mind. 2) Do you need a parking permit? If you can park in visitor spots near your apartment, don’t waste money. 3) If you do need a permit, how much does it cost? 4) Is visitor parking close to your apartment? Most visitor spaces are designated outside or by the fences, and that could be inconvenient for you or visitors. 5) Can you sublease? Things happen. If for some reason you need to get out of your lease, see if management would be in charge of replacing you. If it’s up to you to find someone to replace you, ask your roommates if they have a friend that may be interested. If they don’t, ask for their permission to post it online. Safety One of the first things you should do is make sure the location is in a safe area or has security. Open complexes and buildings that don’t monitor entry may be cheaper, but taking extra precaution always helps if you’re planning to live alone. Things to look out for: *Timed code gates *Monitored parking garages *Security office on site *Locks on all doors Distance to Campus There must be research done before you decide to look for apartments. You don’t want to be too far from campus, or traffic and accidents may hold you back. Questions to ask: 1) How far are you to your school from your apartment? 2) Did you account for traffic? 3) Is there public transportation to and from school? It’s nice to have options. Public buses, taxis, and subways should be accessible to you and some stations offer student discounts. 4) Can you find transportation should anything happen to your car? You’re going to need a backup route to campus. Amenities Things to look out for: *A recreational area: Such an area can be a gym, volleyball courts, swimming/dipping pool, courtyard space, etc. *Laundry machines in apartment or on site *Communal lounges Questions to ask: 1) What are the recreational area operating hours? Pools and gyms may open and close at certain times. 2) What other benefits does the gym have? Some gyms may be open 24/7, and some apartment complexes even offer workout and yoga classes. 3) Do the laundry machines need to be fed coins? Some offices offer pre-paid cards that you can enter into the machines as payment. Pet Related Questions Via (Pixabay) 1) Are pets allowed? 2) If so, is there an additional fee and how much is it? This could either be a one-time fee, or there might be an extra $5-20 charge on your monthly rent bill. 3) Is the fee the same for both dogs and cats? Since cats are easier to take care of, the fee may be cheaper. Pre-Move In Be sure that maintenance is ensured, especially if you’re paying for it. Things to look out for: *There will be a deep cleaning of the apartment before any person moves in including: individual rooms, kitchen area, living area, bathrooms, closets, wall/painting mishaps, ceiling fans, windows, carpet/other flooring *The air conditioning and heating system is properly working *All appliances run well Use this as a reference when checking out a new place. If you have options, refer back to this and weigh the pros and cons of the different leases. Always know what you’re getting into, especially concerning legal and time-sensitive matters.

Interviewing to Teach Abroad Tips to Make Your Interview a Success

Interviewing to Teach Abroad Tips to Make Your Interview a Success By Ariane CampbellYou’ve likely had job interviews before, but the stakes are higher when you’re interviewing to teach abroad. You’re not only discussing a position, but an entirely different country, set of cultural expectations, and way of life. This interview could not only land you a new job, but also land you in an entirely new life.  Below are four keys points to keep in mind when preparing for your interview to teach abroad.1. DO YOUR RESEARCHTeaching abroad often involves moving to a country with vastly different customs and norms than what you’re used to. It is essential to do your research and understand what you are signing up for.Nothing looks worse in an international interview than when a teacher doesn’t know the basics of the country he is applying for. Start with researching the country’s location, the language (or languages) spoken, and the major religion. From there, look into the cultural norms and customs and how they may affect your day-to-day life a nd school environment.As in any job interview, you first have to research the organization to which you’re applying - their  goals, their pedagogical approaches, their student base, and their curriculum. If this information is not available on the internet or from the job description, it is important to ask your interviewer about it so you have a thorough understanding of where you'll be working from the outset.In Western popular culture and media, we often see stereotypes of other cultures and peoples. The only way to dispel these myths, and understand which country really will be best for you, is by doing the research. A willingness to look past stereotypes shows open-mindedness, resourcefulness, and an eagerness to learn: three extremely desirable qualities in any applicant for teaching abroad.2. BE HONESTTeaching overseas is a huge commitment. You will sign a one-, two-, or three-year contract, pack up your belongings, move out of your home, resign from your job, and begin a v ery different life. If you have a family, you will be changing all of their lives as well. It is therefore vital to be 100% honest in your interview.Your employer will be investing a huge amount in you initially, as most international teaching jobs cover your flight, housing, and visa costs. It is thus particularly important that they know exactly who they are hiring. Finding out that a teacher is not a good fit once he is already in country can be disastrous for the school and for the teacher.Being honest means not only highlighting your real skills and experience, but being realistic about your challenges. In an international teaching interview, “What is your biggest weakness” isnot a trick question - it can often be essential to understanding if someone will sink or swim once they arrive. Certain weaknesses, such as inflexibility, can guarantee someone will not be successful in international teaching. However other weaknesses, depending on the country, culture, and school env ironment, may be insignificant or at least surmountable.Remember that the interview is not a hoop to jump through. It is an important conversation to determine whether international teaching, or this specific job or country, is right for you.3. REFLECT ON WHY YOU WANT TO TEACH OVERSEASOne question you will come across in any international job interview is why you want to teach overseas. It is important to reflect carefully on what your real reasons are.In the first few tumultuous weeks of moving abroad, you will be adjusting to new home, school, language, and way of living. Having a clear goal and understanding of why you are there can get you through this adjustment phase.Those who are running away from something, or hoping that going abroad will be a panacea to their problems, are unlikely to maintain the motivation to become immersed in a new culture and successfully complete a contract. However, those with a passion for teaching and an eagerness to expand their cultural knowledg e and have new experiences are more likely to adapt, persevere, and have an enjoyable and rewarding time abroad.Money is a very common factor in the decision to teach overseas. This is understandable, but it cannot be the only factor your decision to move abroad. You still need to find a place that excites and inspires you. Without this internal motivation, it will be difficult to ultimately be successful and happy in international teaching.4. BE PREPARED TO DISCUSS YOUR TEACHING PEDAGOGYAt the end of the day, an international teaching interview is still a teaching interview. Many wrongly assume that an ability to speak English qualifies you for the job, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Overseas teaching is more competitive than ever, and candidates are considered based on their credentials, experience, and expertise. Be prepared to talk in depth about your teaching pedagogy, and most importantly, to give specific examples.Also, understand your audience. Every school wil l have different goals and methodology. A public bilingual school may be looking for someone with well-developed teaching strategies who can independently plan, whereas an ESL school may be looking for someone who is malleable and can adapt quickly to the school's laid out curriculum and teaching methods. Again, do the research and listen to your interviewer carefully so you understand which skills to highlight.  Finally, remember that flexibility, passion, and a positive outlook are what separate a good candidate from a great candidate. We are excited about international teaching, and we hope to see that same enthusiasm from you!Ariane Campbell is a Teach Away Program Coordinator.
