How To Get The Best GCSE Chemistry Course

How To Get The Best GCSE Chemistry CourseThe Cambridge Chemistry course from Cambridge University is an exciting experience for those looking to earn a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry. It is the first in the UK to offer an online degree, and it promises to be one of the most popular degrees you will find. It is also one of the most popular in the world, with around 500 students from over forty countries taking up this course each year.Chemistry is a fascinating subject, but many people want to know more about what it is all about. In short, it is the study of matter in the laboratory, and how it changes when we make changes in our environment. This usually involves creating chemicals from their basic ingredients. The course requires that you understand both the properties of these chemicals, and the conditions under which they are created.There are different types of chemistry, from theoretical chemistry, to industrial chemistry, to chemical engineering. With a Cambridge Chemistry deg ree, you can decide on the type of chemistry you want to take. You will learn chemistry theories but also practice the methods required for the different types of chemistry.In a traditional classroom setting, chemistry requires students to study both their theory and the practical applications of that theory. Students spend the rest of the day in lectures, lab work, and discussions. At the end of the term, you can expect to have to write an exam, at which point you must answer it correctly. These exams are often graded on a curve and sometimes penalize you if you don't do as well as the rest of your class.If you are concerned about getting the best possible grades in a traditional classroom setting, then by all means take a chemistry course from Cambridge. But you may also be worried about time. While the academic schedule is much more relaxed in this type of course, you must still follow certain rules in order to give yourself a chance of being successful. These rules include getti ng enough sleep, eating the right kinds of food, and exercising regularly.It is easy to get information about the courses available at Cambridge, but if you want to know how long they take, then you need to look at the university in Austin, Texas. It is a very reputable university and offers an online degree program in Chemistry. Unlike many other universities, there is no entrance exam for the Online Chemistry program, and therefore your grades will stand the test of time.If you are someone who wants to study at Cambridge, but is worried about giving yourself enough time to study, then taking the Online Chemistry course will be perfect for you. The student body has to meet the maximum number of hours per week, and there is no need to keep on working late at night, so there is little chance of missing out on important assignments. There is no need to worry about being put off by the teaching methods, and the courses are kept well organised, and there is plenty of homework help avail able to you. Plus, the cost is a fraction of the cost of a traditional University, which makes it even more attractive.

Anna Gs experience of volunteering for Tutorfair

Anna G's experience of volunteering for Tutorfair Anna G recently completed her volunteer placement at Pimlico Academy read on to find out what volunteering for Tutorfair  can do for you....... As a Tutorfair volunteer I was offered a great experience at the Pimlico Academy as a Teaching Assistant in French (Year 10) and Spanish (Year 7) over a  5 month period. It gave me the opportunity to get classroom experience and I would recommend this experience for anybody looking for a change of career in Education; it gives the opportunity to assess very efficiently if one belongs to a classroom or not. I was involved very quickly with students and could help them from day one. This experience gave me the opportunity to create a great relationship with the students as I was not their teacher but was there to help them and they totally get it from the beginning. I think most of them are very open from the start and although it took more time for some others to accept my help, I found that after a few weeks they were much easier to approach; this was very good life experience too! The Tutorfair volunteering programme gave    me an insight on how the school is organised and specifically, in my case, the Modern Foreign Language department. I told them I would like to be more active in the department and they were happy to offer different missions on top of Teaching Assistant, such as one-to-one tuition with GCSE students to prepare a specific exam or extra-support to a group of students during lunchtime etc. During the last month I was even teaching French to a group of six students on my own every week.   It helped me to make the most of my experience there. Overall I really think TutorFair offers a “win win situation” and has got a great concept which benefits the students, the schools and the volunteers. The school and students get extra help and the volunteers valuable teaching experience. Best Wishes, Anna x

What Your Irvine SAT Tutor Should Be Able to Do - TutorNerds

What Your Irvine SAT Tutor Should Be Able to Do - TutorNerds What Your Irvine Private SAT Tutor Should Be Able to Do What Your Irvine Private SAT Tutor Should Be Able to Do Standardized tests can play a very important role in your admission to your favorite college.   Because of this, many high school students and their parents choose to hire private tutors for tests like the SAT and ACT to help the student study and achieve the highest score that they can. It is true that private tutoring is a very effective method of preparing for these types of exams.   An experienced tutor can evaluate a student’s strong and weak points, find the strategies and tactics that work best for each student, and keep them dedicated to a study plan that will lead to their best results.   You can’t get the same type of attention and experience by studying on your own or in a classroom setting. However, these results depend on the fact that you have a good and experienced tutor.   There are many “tutors” out there for tests like the SAT who are not qualified to help you the most.   Many college students who recently took the exam themselves will claim that they can tutor for the test.   Parents might hire them when they claim their high test scores as their credentials.   “Hire me and your student can get a score like mine!” Many teachers or students studying to become teachers will also tutor for these exams in their spare time, even when they aren’t experienced in the tests themselves.   “Hire me, I’ve been teaching for fifteen years and have the experience to help,” or “hire me, I teach calculus, so I can tutor for SAT math!” While many of these tutors can be helpful, it is not the same as working with someone who knows the test and the best test preparation strategies inside-out.   Here is what a well-qualified and experienced SAT tutor should be able to do for you: -Be able to consistently answer every test question correctly.   This does not mean that tutors need to be able to get perfect scores on the tests or that they can’t make mistakes, but if you have your questions or practice problems, the tutor should be good enough at the test to get the answers correct and explain them nearly every time. -Be up to date on the format of the test.   If your private Irvine SAT tutor does not know how many sections there are, what the timing is, and how the test is scored, then they likely aren’t experienced enough in the test or their experience is with an older version of the test. -Be able to provide study materials.   A good Irvine SAT tutor should be very familiar with all of the official practice tests and study materials and have them available for you to use.   They likely should also have extra materials in case you need more.   A tutor who expects you to have or buy new books or practice tests on day one (when the best practice tests are free), is a tutor who is not experienced in preparing for the test. -Be able to evaluate you and give you your own, personal strategies.   Many tutors come with generic tips that either they use themselves, or that they’ve heard other people use.   Basic tips like “read the questions before the passage” or “star the ones that look hard and come back to them later” or “skip the word problems and do them last if you have time” are all fairly common and generic tips.   There are many others like them, and they do work for many students.   But not every student.   A good tutor should NOT be giving any of this advice until they’ve evaluated your skills and weaknesses (usually from a practice test).   Then, they can pick which ones will work best for you. There are other factors that make someone a good SAT or another standardized test tutor, but these are some things you should be expecting when you’re paying someone to give private lessons to your student for a very important test.   You can get by and get good results with many other study methods, but if you want the most optimized approach, you will likely need a good private tutor.

In a Manner of Speaking How Understanding Culture Impacts Your Language Studies

In a Manner of Speaking How Understanding Culture Impacts Your Language Studies In a Manner of Speaking: How Understanding Culture Impacts Your Language Studies Learning a language without comprehending the culture is like going to the vibrant Mexican marketplace pictured above  and only eating hamburgers from McDonalds.Will your food be okay? Sure.But youre kind of missing the point. Youre not getting the full experience.The same goes with language and culture. To fully appreciate a language, you need to understand the culture of the people who speak itâ€"theyre intrinsically connected.Learning about different cultures helps us approach languages with new insight. It allows us to delve deeper into the meaning of  words and expressions  and helps us feel more connected to each other.Okay, I might be romanticizing  just a bit.Still, you cant deny that language is a huge part of culture, so much that it actually affects culture in the same way that a culture affects the language.Thats what were going to be exploring here, so read on and, hopefully, when youre done youll have a new appreciation for the language (or languages)  youre currently s tudying as well as the culture it stems from, or maybe even your own culture. Like I said, its all connected. In a Manner of Speaking: How Understanding Culture Impacts Your Language StudiesWhat Does Language Have to Do with Culture?To answer that question, lets think about the purpose of language.Simply put, language allows us to express our thoughts and feelings, it allows us to communicate and share knowledge with one another.You wont fully master a language unless you understand the culture, just like youll never fully understand a culture until youve immersed yourself in a study of their language.This is because language is constantly in flux and largely dependent on the ever-evolving views, values and customs of its speakers.Lets look at just how connected they really are.Language reflects the values and beliefs of a cultureThe differences between two cultures are reflected perfectly in their languages. Mastering the nuances of a language means really being able to understan d people who (more than likely) grew up with an entirely different set of values and beliefs. You have to open yourself up to these differences.Those contrasting values and beliefs can manifest in a variety of ways. Taking a look at common expressions and idioms gives you a glimpse into what a society deems important.For example, just looking at all the  Chinese idioms dealing with family  demonstrates the value they place on this relationship and tells us a little about the family construct and potential dynamics.Or if you were learning English, you can find lots of examples of the historical and cultural values reflected in typical English expressions and idioms by just listening to an episode of NPRs radio program  A Way with Words.Have you ever heard the phrase A Whistle in the Dark or noticed any of the other words and expressions for the word courage? Such observations would lead an English learner to believe that bravery is an attribute thats highly coveted in English-speakin g societies.But thats not the only connection between language and culture.Language reflects our perception of the worldLanguage affects the way we perceive the world and therefore, it affects how we choose to interact with it.There have been several studies on this.Ask a linguist about language and perception and theyll probably point you to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which states that the limits and structure of language determines their users thoughts and actions. Its a hypothesis supported by professor Lera Boroditsky who wrote a whole paper on the topic of linguistic relativity.A great example explored by those who study linguistic relativity is the concept of time and space between languages. Boroditsky conducted an experiment in which she found that while English speakers view time horizontally (i.e., the past is behind us or to the left and the future is ahead or to the right), Mandarin speakers are more likely to view time vertically (i.e. the order of events is viewed fro m top to bottom).Others have studied the connection between  bilingualism and personality, finding that when people switch languages they also seem to switch their personality to fit the language. That is, they seem to shift their way of thinking to reflect that of the people who speak the respective language. Its fascinating!Language reflects perception, but it also reflects the history of a culture and explains why certain ideas and beliefs are so prominent and profound.Historical Perspective: The Link Between the History of a Culture and Its LanguageTake terms that have lasted from ancient times to modernity to heartWhen you look at any culture, you cannot rightly ignore its history. Understanding its history allows you to form some idea of how and why certain words came to mean what they do. For example, in Mandarin, ?  (Xin)  is often directly translated to heart in English. However, the word also refers to the mind and ones emotions.The meaning of the word is an important conc ept in Daoist teachings and makes those teachings much more accessible to Mandarin speakers (which may explain why it has thrived since ancient times).The effects of these ancient beliefs on modern Chinese values and culture  are still present today. Clearly, the deep-rooted meaning of the term  Xin  is something a Mandarin learner would want to take to heart if they truly wanted to understand the implications behind the word.The history of a culture explains the power a term or idea can carry in a language, but it also explains the existence of certain (sometimes seemingly random) linguistic elements.To really understand, you also have to ask yourself about the influence of other cultures on a language.Watch out for footprints left by other cultures on a languageThe English language is a perfect example of mixing cultures and language. The Germanic Anglo-Normans and Latin-based French essentially planted the seed for English as we know it to grow.Learning all about  that history co uld certainly help you understand the meaning behind certain words and phrases with Latin roots, as well as other words of foreign language descent.English isnt the only example of a language with rich history. If youre studying one of the Romance languages, it helps immeasurably to learn about European history and the spread of Latin.Maybe youre learning Spanish and wondering why there are so many words that start with  al? Spanish has many words of Arabic origin due to the  Islamic conquest of Spain. Clearly, the influence of that culture has left its mark.Knowing the history of a culture is not only a way to get clarification, it also shows how words have evolved to reflect the current cultural climate.Keep track of the ever-evolving meaning of wordsYou often hear people say, back in my day, that word used to mean something else.Words change. A lot.Take a brief look into the world of etymology (the study of word origins and development) and youll find that many words once meant o ne thing but now mean something else entirely.Before the internet, it was next to impossible to pinpoint the redefining moments for these words. The broadening or dissolution of their original meanings tended to just happen slowly over time with usage. Thanks to the internet, we can study this much more closely.Words can evolve in various ways. Sometimes they can start out as harmless phrases but evolve to be quite rude, like the word bimbo which has its roots in the Italian word  bambino (little child). In English, this was a term originally referring to an unintelligent man, but over time it came to be quite a derogatory term for an attractive, but not very bright, woman.Then lets take a look at the word  awesome, which nowadays is used to describe the best things ever (like this trivia filled article)! The root of the word is awe which used to be synonymous with dread. The word maintained that connotation until around the late 1970s when people started using it to describe great things.Our ever-developing culture forces language to develop alongside it. We usually dont notice the strange ways in which these words change until we either look it up or have a non-native speaker point it out.But what does that mean on a day-to-day basis?Now that weve discussed the fluidity of language and culture over time, lets take a look at what this has to do with you and your language-learning journey.How This Understanding Affects Your Language Learning JourneyMore than anything else, your learning will help you choose your words more carefully.Understanding the culture behind a language can help immeasurably in understanding the connotations of a word, especially when theres no equivalency in your own language. Not doing so can cause some embarrassing or offensive situations.Take a language like Japanese that feature words that are closely tied to the culture. The Japanese dont just have formal and informal forms, but honorific and humble forms as well. This is referred to as keigo.No doubt you already have your impressions of each culture and perhaps even for certain languages based on your own experience (and cultures history). When trying to master another language, its best to go in without any expectations or pre-conceived notions.Learn with what you know, keep an open-mind and respect the differences you find.Now that you know why its all so importantSo what have we learned today? Hopefully you can look back at your learning experience with more awareness about what to change about your learning methods or your mindset. Weve discussed how closely related language and culture is and by association, the importance of learning the etymology of a language.It doesnt have to be in-depth but maybe just enough to form a deeper understanding and appreciation for the quirks and rules of the language(s) youre trying to learn.How deep is your understanding of the foreign words you learned? Have you just memorized their definitions or translations, or do you understand what they mean and what they imply when spoken?When you take that understanding and apply it as you learn the language, single words suddenly carry new weight and words you once found just quirky and strange start to make a lot more sense.

Why Choose a Google Tutor?

Why Choose a Google Tutor?A Google tutor is a service that allows people who have the knowledge and the resources to offer help to students and teachers to learn certain subjects. It is a great idea for someone who has no background in a particular subject to have access to education material to enhance their understanding of the subject. The internet offers great opportunities to teachers, parents, and students, allowing for students to study at their own pace and at their own convenience.Tutors have various classes and packages available to suit different types of users. They can be individuals or a company with multiple employees who work as a team to provide the right help to students and teachers in a number of different situations. Most providers have flexible packages that can accommodate a wide range of users with little or no extra cost.A tutor can take the place of a teacher. In some cases, it may be an individual that is willing to act as a tutor and give help to a student . In other cases, it may be a business with a staff that will offer different parts of the business and provide the needed help to a group of students.Tutors are trained and licensed professionals who are required to follow various rules and regulations. However, they are responsible for the students that they tutor. Most provide assistance from their own home, but some may have a designated location to receive and provide the assistance. In order to provide the proper instruction, a tutor must first possess the appropriate training, which includes practical experience in the subject matter.When searching for a tutor, look for a provider that has a fully staffed and licensed online office. This will ensure that a tutor is available at all times for help in any given situation. Since most people use the internet, it would be wise to have at least one online counselor at your disposal in case of emergencies. Of course, the internet is also good for research and self-development.Teache rs and students can expect tutors to offer help from their local or online locations. It would be beneficial to tutor a group of students in a particular class and for many tutors, this is a rewarding way to teach and make a living. There are also travel tutors who travel to remote locations in order to tutor in those areas where the most education is being offered. These courses can be grueling and involve sitting in a classroom, yet they provide the most personalized tutoring and instruction.For parents and teachers, this is a convenient method to use extra hours to attend to a student's personal or educational needs. For those who are unable to travel, getting a tutor can also provide them with the extra time to attend to the needs of their students. Whether it is a child in kindergarten or a college student in their third year, you can find the perfect tutor to improve the learning experiences of students.

The Best Way to Learn the TOEFL TestIf you are trying to find out what is the best way to learn the TOEFL test, then you might need to find a TOEFL speaking tutor who can help you get through the testing process without having to spend lots of money on private tuition. In order to get through the test with as little difficulty as possible, it is important that you choose a tutor who can give you detailed instructions on how to approach the test and help you understand each section, the mistakes you make, and what mistakes you should avoid.There are two things that you need to do in order to pass the test.

In order to help you with these two aspects, there are a number of TOEFL speaking tutors that will be able to give you feedback based on your performances.The first part of t he test consists of just listening to sentences and reading passages. You need to be able to pick up words and phrases at a rapid rate, and have the ability to repeat them back to yourself or say them aloud correctly. It is important that you understand how to draw a diagram to show a sentence, but you also need to be able to take note of where different parts of a sentence go and what they are. If you do not pay attention to the correct placement of a noun phrase, you will be penalized for it.The second part of the test consists of reading the entire document and taking notes on what you have read.

You need to be able to identify and understand if someone said 'in the park', 'on the grass', 'around the lake', or 'before the door'.

Either way, you will be better off when you find someone who can tea ch you everything you need to know.

You can always make more money, but you can't get more time. Yet, when we attempt to do things on our own we're taking the long route and wasting that time away. This is simply because we don't know the path ahead and what to expect.Think of going after a goal is like being stuck in the middle of the jungle, trying to reach a specific destination.    When you're doing things on your own, you're struggling your way through, getting lost, and frustrated.  Maybe you have a map, but you don't know whether it's the fastest way as you've never made it there before.Now,  what if I told you that I could give you a GPS system that has the fastest, most efficient way through the jungle to reach your destination?    Not only that, but if you get lost, there will be a helicopter that comes and picks you up and makes sure that you get there.  How much time would you save?  How much frustration, stress, and anxiety would you not have to go through because you already have a pro ven map?  How much more enjoyable would the process be?  This is what having a coach is like.  They can give you the map because they've already been there before, therefor saving you a significant amount of time and get there that much  faster.  They know all the short-cuts, and they are there for you if you get lost to point you in the right direction.2 - Having A Life Coach Gives You Insights Into Yourself.I've learned so much about myself throughout the years by having a coach or mentor. One of the most valuable things are the lessons and insights you get about yourself. You're always getting feedback and discovering more about yourself in the process. With the hundreds of clients that I've coached over the years, there are always patterns or behaviours that I notice that they aren't even aware of. Sometimes it's a story or limiting belief that they keep telling themselves again and again, which is holding them back. Other times, it's a way that they carry themselves, their body language or a subtle way that they're communicating that is putting people off, preventing them from having success in their relationships with the opposite sex. These patterns are often so ingrained in us, that they become unconscious. We're unaware of it.A coach is able to point these things out and help you become aware of them, so that you can change them. Often it's the little things that make a massive difference. I've seen incredible transformations within people just by making small changes to their way of thinking or how they are showing up. Most people you're around on a daily basis won't point out these things to you or give you feedback, but a good coach does. A good coach cares and is always honest with you.3 - Having A Life Coach Gives You A Stronger Sense Of Belief And Self-Confidence.benefits of life coachThere are so many ways that we limit and hold ourselves back. There's things that we WANT to do, but often aren't doing simply because we don't have the belie f or confidence in ourselves. When my coach proposed to me that I compete in a fitness show, I was hesitant. I didn't believe that I could do it, and thought it took a certain type of person with a level of discipline and commitment to make something like that happen. The truth is, I was scared. I let my fear consume me, and was lacking the confidence in myself that I could do it.My coach made me aware of this limiting pattern and made me realize what I'm truly capable of. He believed in me, which gave me a strong level of belief and self-confidence within myself. As a result, I've gained so much in the process to competing in a fitness show. It's been one of the best decisions I've ever made, simply because I've grown so much as a human being throughout the journey. I've had to step up and raise my standards to an entirely new level.4 - Anxiety And Stress Are Recurring ThemesLife can get stressful. Plain and simple. I know that when I failed repeatedly in the past, I went through s ome of the most anxious and stressful times in my life. I was depressed beyond belief. Even though I learned a lot through failure, having those constant emotions become a recurring theme in your life isn’t fun whatsoever.When you combine all of our responsibilities, from work to family and social lives, it’s easy to see why we get so stressed out. It’s not a good feeling, especially when it feels like the walls are caving in on you. Getting the perspective and outside help that life coaching affords is integral in helping you move past those disheartening emotions.Professional Coaching with SuperprofIf you have been following this blog for any amount of time, then you know that Superprof is dedicated to helping people, be they students in need of academic support or professionals in need of business coaching.In fact, as long as you have an Internet connection and have no aversion to online coaching, even people living in our land’s most remote corners can benefit from profe ssional coaching with Superprof!Currently, there are close to 800 life coaches listed on our platform; some of whom have achieved stunning results!Zangmo, an ambassador of continuous learning has earned glowing testimonials from her clients!Anri, also an ambassador, so consistently does his clients well that they have accorded him 5 stars!Laura, who has a long history of helping others, conducts life coaching either in groups or for individualsDavid: with his equally impressive resume, he brings patience and tolerance to his clients.You might wonder about fees: with such stunning reputations, perhaps these coaches would be out of your financial reach?On the contrary, you can rest easy on the fact that Superprof life coaches generally charge less than those whose offices you would visit â€" or who would visit you.The average price for a Superprof life coach is under £25 per hour and most coaches dedicate their first hour with you for free!That would be hard to match from any other p ersonal coaching venture around the country!Great results can follow online life coaching sessions!

Belfast may be the standout of that assertion; nowhere else in the UK are there peace walls and the Good Friday Agreement is not a nationwide ruling.Indeed, Belfast has had her share of Troubles; if ever there were a people to seek out help dealing with trauma, it would be us, right?Maybe that is why there are so many life coaches in our city, which begs the question: is every life coach the same?In essence, yes: the mission statement of every life coach is to help you get yourself to where you want to be. That doesn't mean that coaches don't specialise. Some coaches focus on professional development while other can help with addiction, depression and compulsion.For instance, life coach Doreen Ritchie specialises in financial coaching, executive coaching and relationship coaching.

Even if your friends point out a 'failure', flaw or deficiency on your part, most likely they would do it as gently as possible, couching it in terms of an unfortunate reality rather than an actual contributor to the situation at hand.We would all probably seek out new friends if we didn't have that level of support and comfort.Secondly, most anyone you talk to will filter your experience through their personal biases, meaning that they will put themselves in your place and imagine how they would handle the situation or emotional turmoil.Let's say you're discussion your latest romantic flop with someone - maybe your parent who has enjoyed relationship bliss for most of their life.Academically, they can understand your sorrow but not having a string of failed romantic relationships themselves, they are really in no position to help you become better/stronger at the other end. They are, however, wel l-qualified to offer warm beverages, tissues and shoulders for you to unload on.Now, instead of your dear one's comforting moves, we insert a trained life coach.It doesn't matter if a life coach has experienced heartbreak and grief; their job is not to empathise with you. Their job is to help you understand why these relationships keep failing - in other words, they help you determine your share of responsibility to the situation at hand and help you define the steps you need to take to find romantic success.  Or any success.That is what the coaches at Enlighten Life specialise in.If stress weighs you down or whether relationships prove difficult for you; if your career has stalled or you lack the motivation to follow your dreams, Enlighten Life and other life coaches in Edinburgh are ready to help you get back on track.No need to look so despondent! Life will look up if only you look up a life coach!
