What You Need to Know About Requesting a Tutor by Request

What You Need to Know About Requesting a Tutor by RequestFinding a UW Madison tutoring service can be very easy when you request one by request. Many people request a tutor by request because they don't know where to begin searching for one, and they aren't certain what they want or need. Here are some things to consider when requesting a tutor by request:Choose a tutor by request for several reasons. First, you may want someone for just a few classes or a couple of semesters. If this is the case, you'll have to decide which classes to include and which to leave out. This is a choice that will greatly impact your financial aid process, so it's important to take your time.Secondly, if you are considering a family-style tutor, you may also want to choose a tutor by request. Some schools require families to pay some of the tuition, so if you've already paid for your tuition, you may be more limited in what you can pay for. If you would like to know how much money you need to pay for the services of a tutor by request, it's important to compare this figure with the tuition you have already paid.Thirdly, if you have already paid for the services of a tutor, it can be difficult to know whether you have paid enough, if not, or how much more. It's always a good idea to research how much you will owe a tutor before beginning the request. You'll probably get better results from one that charges less or a similar amount as the one you've already paid.To request a tutor by request, all you have to do is write down what you want, and then the school or the tutors' agency will do the rest. Your request will be reviewed to ensure that the student needs the help, and that the budget fits. If you have any concerns, orif the school or tutor doesn't seem to meet your expectations, you'll have to either change the request to another one or ask the agency for additional details.Some tutors offer many services by request. These services vary, and it's wise to check the agency for in formation on all the options they provide. You should find out how long the tutor has been trained and who trained him or her. They may have specialized training or background in different areas than other tutors.You can request a tutor by request from your school, from a tutoring agency, or from an individual tutor. You can also request a tutor by request, but if you want to, you may have to spend more time researching and meeting people who specialize in different areas, depending on the agency you request from.

Finding a Tutor

Finding a Tutor Improving Academic Performance Millions of students seek private tutoring each and every year. Given overcrowded classrooms, overworked and underpaid teachers, and the increasing competitiveness of the college admissions process, this is not a surprise. To meet this demand, dozens of companies have sprouted up with a “value proposition” and “business model” that involves simply matching students with tutors â€" there are many web-sites which operate this way, and more are appearing every week. Some of the most prominent such web-sites include… www.universitytutor.com www.tutorsteach.com www.tutonation.com www.craigslist.com www.premiumtutor.com …and there are many more. However, with the number of sites of this type steadily rising, the value of the “tutor matching” service to parents and students comes into question. These sites generally allow anybody to post a bio and list their “subject expertise” so they can eventually be contacted by students. From the student’s perspective, it’s nice to have a list of available tutors. However, too long a list is not necessarily a good thing â€" you don’t know where to start your search. You may reach out to five tutors, and hear back from three, two of which take several days to respond. Pricing may vary wildly as well. Nobody wants to pay too much per hour, but everybody wants a high quality tutor. In addition, the actual qualifications, interpersonal skills, and communication skills/style of the tutor you choose hasn’t been vetted with anyone, in many cases, if you choose to use a tutor matching web-site. Plus, an individual tutor might know his or her material, but may be unable to provide the structure you or your child needs to begin to succeed in class. If you don’t ask the right questions, you might not get the help you need. We believe that working with a company like MyGuru provides an attractive middle ground between finding a tutor on one of the tutor matching sites mentioned above and working with a high priced tutoring agency like Kaplan or Huntington Learning Center. First, MyGuru explicitly seeks to be a very selective recruiter of tutors. It isn’t trying to build a large database of available tutors â€" in any given subject and geographic area, it typically has 2-3 expert tutors available. It starts by eliminating anyone who didn’t attend a college ranked in the Top 100 nationally by U.S. News and World Report, and requires a minimum of two years prior experience tutoring or teaching. All tutors then go through an interview process and trial period. In Chicago thus far, its favorite source of tutors is Northwestern University, but obviously many tutors also come from the University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Chicago, and Depaul or Loyola. Second, MyGuru provides all of the “back office” and customer facing support it can to make the process of matching students with tutors easy for everyone. We’ll respond to your request within hours, discuss a variety of tutoring options, provide references, and let you speak to a few potential tutors. You pay MyGuru directly (we offer a money back guarantee) and then we pay your tutor on the 1 stand 15thof each month (like any business). Third, we provide just enough structure to make sure tutoring relationships are successful. We’ll work with students and tutors upfront to set reasonable objectives for each session â€" instead of walking into each session “cold” â€" the tutor and the student know what they’ll review and have prepared in advance. When it comes to test prep, we use our significant knowledge of each major standardized test to design simple packaged solutions that combine “off the shelf” test prep materials with an expert tutor for a customized experience that hits on all the major sections of the test and all of the key test taking strategies for that particular test (ACT vs. GMAT vs. MCAT, etc.). Large national test prep and tutoring chains might be able to make similar statements (although MyGuru’s tutors are probably better on average). However, the biggest such companies charge exorbitant prices for 1-1 tutoring and test prep. It is common for a student to find that a major test prep firm charges $150+ per hour for customized, 1-1 help. MyGuru takes tutors of similar quality and makes them available for less than half that â€" this can either save you a lot of money, or provide you with twice the number of sessions for the same investment.

Is Online Teaching for You

Is Online Teaching for You Regardless of whether you specialize in the GRE or TEFL, teaching online has quickly become the new frontier for teachers looking to make more money or increase their flexibility. Plus, with companies like online teaching behemoth VIPKID raising nearly $3 billion in funds, it’s pretty obvious that online education has gone mainstream. What does this mean for tutors and teachers? If you are currently a tutor (in any subject), then the world just became your oyster. The barrier to entry into teaching online has never been lower and the available technology + widespread publicity driven by companies like VIPKID means the stigma to learn online has been eliminated. Now is the perfect time to: -Start tutoring from home -Looking into starting your own online tutoring business -Increase your income with some online teaching hours Is it for everyone? Before you start building your home office, it’s important to note that online teaching (and learning) is not for everyone and there are some disadvantages to going virtual. The primary issue is a lack of face-to-face interaction even with the ability to see your student via a screen, there is no substitute to in-person interactions. In addition, if you teach a subject that requires frequent work on a whiteboard or scratch paper (like math or logic problems might), then you will find it difficult to accomplish the same level of instruction online. There is good news, however, as there is demand for online tutors from pretty much every subject: Teach English with VIPKID -Teach science -Teach LSAT The list goes on, but it’s safe to say that even tutors in obscure subjects won’t find it too difficult to find an online audience. How can you get started? Let’s go over a few different scenarios and explore how each can get started with online tutoring. You’re a freelancer looking for your first online student There are a few different channels you’re looking for students but don’t want to work for an established company: -College job boards (both online and on-campus) -Reddit groups like I Need a Tutor -Facebook groups specializing in your subject Note: while it’s my personal opinion that it pays off in the long run to freelance, you may need to offer discounts or promotions when just getting started. You want to work for an established company that provides you with students In this scenario there you would search for jobs through traditional means: -Indeed job board searches -Apply directly to tutoring companies Note: while this is definitely the path of least resistance, expect there to be a trial period where you either have to prove your abilities or build up reviews from students. You want to start your own online tutoring business In this scenario you are really swinging for the fences and will need to combine the go-getter attitude of being a freelancer with the business acumen of an entrepreneur. Unsurprisingly, this is a multi-step process. First, you will need to at least setup a website advertising your tutoring business. The process for this is outside of the scope of this post, but here is good step by step guide from WPBeginner. Second, you need to determine what tools you will use to schedule and interact with your students a good place to start is a free tool like Google Hangouts. Finally, you will need to find students just like a freelancer in the first scenario, but in this case you can use other tactices like paid Facebook and Google ads as you have a website to send them too. In my opinion, new tutors should not try and build a business without first being a freelancer there are just too many moving parts and unknowns that can become overwhelming. The good news is that pivoting from freelancer to business is quite easy once you have a few students as you’ve already accomplished the hardest part of the process! Is online teaching for you? There are two sides to this argument: if you are just getting started with tutoring I’d suggest pursuing online options first I believe that is where the industry is heading and there are an abundance of opportunities. However, if you are already doing in-person tutoring, don’t mess up a good thing and try and convert your students to online OR dump them in pursuit of online learners. Instead, slowly ease your way into the online realm and do a few hours a week online before you consider making the transition.

Mission Viejo English Tutor 5 Note-taking Tips for Freshman

Mission Viejo English Tutor 5 Note-taking Tips for Freshman Tips from a Mission Viejo English Tutor: 5 Note-taking Tips for High School Freshman Tips from a Mission Viejo English Tutor: 5 Note-taking Tips for High School Freshman Freshman year in high school is a huge transition perhaps second only to that of moving on to college. There are higher expectations in general, and teachers expect students to ask them for help if theyre lost rather than reach out to students who they think might need help. Once in high school students will be expected to read more text in their math and science classes and read several novels in their English classes, while retaining this information for cumulative exams later in the year. With all of this new information to remember its extremely important to develop excellent notation skills. Some teachers will go over how best to take notes, or at least go over a few popular methods. However, students will have to determine independently which method works best for them. Until they do they are missing out on some really valuable skills that can help them understand new material, review past material, and get higher grades overall. Here are five note-taking tips from a Mission Vi ejo English Tutor. 1. Put things in your own words One thing most students should do but often fail to do is to put things in their own words. Students who write down phrases from a textbook verbatim will generally not remember the information at all. Unless freshmen can take these notes into the test with them, which is rare in high school, they will have wasted a bunch of time. Instead, students should take the time up front to write phrases in their own words. If they cant do this, its a sign that they dont really understand the information and they should probably look to their teacher or tutor for help (READ: A Students Guide to Study Breaks). 2. Use bullet points For many students, writing things in paragraph format can become overwhelming and distract them from the task at hand. Using bullet points or other notation formatting can help students write down information quickly and effectively while still keeping their notes clear and easy to read later on. With practice, students will find a balance of the correct amount of things they need to write down and which information is important for the exam. 3. Stay organized Taking excellent notes is only helpful if the student can maintain basic organization. If note cards and papers are stuffed at the bottom of a backpack or find their way to the trash too quickly, the notes wont be any help at all. When students have finished studying for an exam or have completed a chapter in their text book they are encouraged to put them in a separate binder for past assignments where they keep all their notes. Then, when it comes time to study for the midterm or final exam they will have all their notes ready and available to them at a glance. 4. Put information in plain language Many students new to high school will write down notes using the jargon that their text book or novel did. The point of taking notes is to make the assignment easier, not more difficult. Jargon is difficult to deal with when first presented and is just as tricky when it comes time to study. Thus, its important for students to write their notes down in plain language using vocabulary words they currently understand. Although students will need to broaden their vocabulary and understand new terms and phrases; their personal notes should always be easy to read (READ: 10 Study Tips from an Irvine History Tutor). 5. Never throw away your notes Its very tempting for students to rip up and throw away their notes once their quiz has been completed. Unfortunately, many students find out later on that their final exam encompasses that novel from two months ago. Students who have thrown away their notes will have to work with their study group or tutor to take duplicate notes all over again or risk doing poorly on the test. However, students who have saved and organized their notes will be able to spend an hour or so looking back at them rather than several hours redoing the assignment. Students should keep all their notes until they have gotten their final grades for every class at the end of the academic year in June.

Looking for a Place to Live

Looking for a Place to Live Many students who are planning to attend a college out of town cannot afford nor do they want to live in one of the dormitories the universities may provide. These students will be looking for an apartment, usually with a roommate. Ive got some information for you, especially if you are going to attend one of the wonderful universities in Los Angeles, California, such as UCLA, USC, or one of the many Cal States and private and commercial universities that cover the city. For over twenty years, I managed properties in the Los Angeles area and hopefully have some good tips for those of you planning on making L.A. at least a temporary home while in school. Keep in mind that most cities are pretty similar in the way they go about this so the information here may  improve the chances of anyone anywhere in getting a place they want, so pay attention. Before you even get started searching for your new digs you need to do a little research. First decide what the maximum amount of rent you can afford to pay. And then because it’s Los Angeles simply expect to pay a bit more. Depending on where your campus is located, you need to decide on the area you prefer. You can use Craigslist as a tool for getting an idea of the rents in the different neighborhoods. They can change drastically from place to place. Also, ask around about the safety of neighborhoods. There are some places in L.A. that are more dangerous than others. For example some of the areas surrounding the University of Southern California are pretty tough and you may want to stay somewhere else.  Somewhere that an evening walk would not be a matter of will we get back home or not afterward? When applying for an apartment never tell the landlord or manager that this is temporary. Apartment owners didn’t dish out money for fresh paint and new or at least steam cleaned carpets and cleaning crews just so you can temporarily live there. They want a tenant who will stay a few years. Make it worth their while. Next, when visiting a unit, have your basic paper work ready, in case the manager is there and ready to take applications.  Basic paperwork would be copies of your Identification, driver’s license, school ID, bank documents, etc. Have a copy of your credit report also. Your credit rating has become the main decision maker for which possible tenant choices are made. So the higher your credit ratings, the better off you are. Don’t be too discouraged if your credit rating is not spectacular. Property owners vary and sometimes they will rent based on first impressions and interaction with a prospective tenant. So be sure to dress neatly at the very least. Also, the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles has a rental application that most owners prefer. You can get one online at AAGLA.  No offense to the Apartment Rental companies around town but, don’t waste your money. Craigslist and a little effort on your part will give you equitable, without the middleman. A word of caution based on an experience I had a couple years ago. I had posted a rental unit on Craigslist with the location and monthly rental amount. Just like I always did. This was standard procedure for me so, no big deal, right? I’d been doing this deal for many years. One day I got a call from someone who was at the building where the vacancy was and wanted to know why no one had met them there. I told them that I had not set an appointment with them and didn’t know what they were talking about. Also the rental amount they said they were given for the unit was much less than the actual rent for the apartment. They were irritated and hung up. I received a few more calls like that in between the regular calls I received from the ad. Something was up. I searched through Craigslist and eventually found another ad for the same apartment I was renting, but with a much lower rent. And … their ad said that they would be at the unit all day and that the owner was so desperate to rent it quickly that they had lowered the rent to this unrealistically lesser amount and it would be first come first serve for rental.  They also suggested that you go to FreeCreditReport.com and get your credit rating to bring to the apartment.  For convenience, the ad had a direct link to the free credit report site. This all sounds good right. Wrong! I clicked on the credit report  link and went over the details of the page carefully. It looked perfectly normal. All the details of the credit form were right. Then I did a google search for FreeCreditReport.com and went to their site from there. These two pages looked identical; however  there was a slight difference on the actual addresses in the browser. The page from the Craigslist ad was a fake. One of the most important pieces of information needed for a credit check is your social security number. These ads were collecting social security numbers for identity theft purposes. Pretty tricky devils, huh? Keep in mind this happens all over the country, not just in Los Angeles. So pay attention. Be careful, be prepared and go get that cool apartment for study, comfort, and maybe a little fun too.

Stem Tutoring - A New Form of Education

Stem Tutoring - A New Form of EducationStem tutoring is a program designed to provide skills training to underprivileged children in specific professions. In many ways, the program is similar to the traditional school-based education, except that students work with adults in their profession. The quality of the education varies widely depending on the teacher who takes part in the program.It should be noted that the teaching methods employed by instructors at the Brookdale Center for Math and Science Instruction in Stem Tutoring programs are generally unconventional. These methods include using computer-based learning software and using computer game technology to help teach the students how to learn. This program is an excellent choice for students who find traditional school-based education unsatisfactory because of the lack of structure and lack of discipline. While some teachers may not enjoy participating in this type of program, the fact that the students are highly motivated a nd respectful of their teachers shows that this form of education is beneficial.You may be asking why a young person should go to Brookdale when there are other institutions offering the same program. Here are a few reasons why students will find this program an effective way to improve their potential.The amount of time they will spend at the school may be greater than the amount of time they will spend in the classroom, since they will be receiving positive reinforcement from their peers as well as the instructor. With this type of program, students will be given the opportunity to learn how to perform all of the techniques they need to know to succeed. This is often not the case when the teacher is trying to push students through certain skills such as basic math skills.Students that attend this program will also have an opportunity to interact with other students that may have similar goals, and they will be given an opportunity to develop leadership skills as well. They will al so be able to interact with the instructor, and if you ask him or her if it is worthwhile to enroll in this program, they will likely agree that it is. As a result, the students will become more self-sufficient, and they will be able to stand on their own two feet.In the current society, it seems like there are an obsession with pop culture and what you should be doing, where you should be going, and the kinds of people you should be working with. However, some people still believe that these are things that happen in school or while you are in the workplace. This is why the internet has become such a popular venue for education, especially for students.When you look at the experience and success that people have with this program, it becomes easier to understand why it is such a highly recommended available program. Since students do not have to stay in one place, they can take advantage of their own opportunities and be their own supervisor. The majority of students say that they were more motivated and happy to be a part of the program than with other programs that they had attended.
