Child Drill Run Tutor

Child Drill Run TutorA Drill Run is an important lesson for any child as it gives the child the opportunity to learn how to run around a circle using their arms and legs. Many parents are wary of their children's first experience with the Drill Run, fearing that they are in danger or even worse hurting themselves. The truth is, while Drill Runs may feel like a challenge, it does not require much physical exertion. It can be as simple as helping your child to hop into the correct position.A Drill Run can be dangerous, however, if children do not start moving away from the circle of teachers when they hear their teacher calling 'out' during the Drill Run. This could mean an unnecessary delay and perhaps more tension on the shoulders of the children. This could lead to the instructor repeating the instruction.Since there is no physical exertion involved in the Drill Run, children tend to get bored quickly if they have not been given a drill. So to help the children remember what is goin g on, you should record each drill as you teach it. Later, when you give the children a Drill Run, you will be able to say, 'This is what you have learned,' or 'What you did last time.'If you have had students who are very anxious about their Drill Run or simply find it too difficult to teach, you can always find a Drill Run tutor. This could be a family member, a friend, or even a tutor online. Most of these tutors are well experienced and know all the best drills for teaching Drill Runs.Although you may feel it would be better to work at your own energy level, doing Drill Runs is a great way to help improve a child's self-esteem and confidence. The feedback that you will get from an individual who knows how to provide constructive criticism will be invaluable.Drill Run tutors are extremely qualified to help children with their Drill Run as they understand the importance of drill and are able to translate this understanding into effective teaching. They have the skills and resource s to help children overcome their fear of Drill Runs and therefore boost their confidence. No child should have to deal with Drill Run fear, as this is an essential part of the Drill Run program.Children who have been helped by a tutor are much more likely to enjoy their Drill Run experience, as it becomes a fun and enjoyable activity instead of a stressful one. Furthermore, the tutor will have used drill tips that you will have found helpful. If you are struggling to teach your child how to move correctly, then a Drill Run tutor could make the difference between not moving properly at all, or doing so perfectly.

5 Reasons to Learn a Second Language in College

5 Reasons to Learn a Second Language in College 5 Reasons to Learn a Second Language in College 5 Reasons to Learn a Second Language in College Although it has always been beneficial to speak more than one language, the working world is shrinking more every decade. Major companies in the United States often do business with other countries, international business is ever popular, and technology is broadening our horizons and introducing new cultures to each other every day. Although speaking two languages used to be considered a special skill, it will soon become a requirement. Although not every student can speak every language, communicating in a second language is extremely beneficial when it comes to job prospects after graduation learn a second language faster with the help of an Irvine foreign language tutor from TutorNerds. 1. Think about your field Before you pick which language you want to take its a good idea to consider which language or languages will best suit your career. Are you planning to travel to or work in another country? If so, will you be based in Europe, Asia, or South America? To what extent will you be expected to communicate in another language? Will you need to be fluent or just conversational? Learning a second language is a major feat, so its important to ask all of these questions prior to making an extensive learning commitment (READ: Tips From an Irvine Academic Tutor: 5 Apps for ESL Tutors). 2. Do you have previous experience in a second language If you have already taken four years of Spanish in high school and feel that you are somewhat proficient, this may be the way to go in college. If your career path doesnt require a specific language, then its often best to stick to what you already know. Learning a new language within the classroom format can be pretty difficult if you are entering the course with no prior experience. Additionally, most students in a language class will probably either speak some of the language already or have taken a class in high school (READ: 5 Ways to Help ESL Students Study for the ACT and SAT). 3. Will you have an opportunity to study abroad If you are taking a language more for personal reasons than your career path it might be nice to use your newfound skills while studying internationally. Have you always wanted to visit Mexico City? If so Spanish is probably the class for you. Do you have your heart set on Paris? Then sign up for that French class. International study is an excellent part of the university experience so why not spend that time focusing on honing your language skills. 4. Get a leg up in the working world With the workforce ever competitive its important for students to be on the cutting edge of whats expected of a college graduate. Even if a student doesnt plan on working overseas and they are in a field that only requires speaking English, larger companies often like to have somebody who can speak multiple languages. If somebody can serve as a translator or interpreter, or if they can help land a big account because they speak the language of the client, they could be a really big asset to a company. Why not beat out the competition while also broadening your horizons? 5. Communicate with colleagues and supervisors Even if you never plan on working outside of the United States you should consider learning a second language while in college. The United States has and will continue to be a diverse country and it’s important that employees can communicate with all of their coworkers and supervisors who speak multiple languages. Which language a student chooses to explore may depend on what part of the country they plan on living in after college. Some languages are more commonly spoken throughout the United States than others but speaking any second language will help with communication in any office environment.

Discover the world of English literature

Discover the world of English literature Many students will associate reading great works of English literature with having to do exams on them come the end of term. Of course, it was never Virginia Woolf's intention to have To the Lighthouse form a part of an A-level English course. Admittedly this can deaden the impact of great literature, but with the help of an English tutor your child could take real pleasure in these great works while working toward satisfying academic achievements. When it comes to getting your kids to read there's an awful lot to compete with. The quantity and variety of media that they are exposed to is staggering. From television and video games to iPods and the internet, it's no wonder their attention might appear to wander a few pages into Sense and Sensibility. However much of the pleasure of reading comes from its slow release, which can initially feel like inaccessibility. A great entry point is to try and find something of the modern day within these seemingly foreign worlds of centuries past. How would your child feel in the shoes of the orphaned Oliver Twist? Can they relate to Winston Smith's desire for freedom in 1984? If you think your child would benefit from getting acquainted with English literature to help them through their A-level or GCSE English course and they need some extra motivation, as well as some help in appreciating the text at hand, it can be useful to hire a tutor for some one to one sessions. Their tutor can point them towards some of the best works in English literature to start with and guide them through the process of reading, enjoying and critical thinking. First Tutors has plenty of excellent tutors who can help your child in their journey through English literature. Why not browse our site for one near you?

How NOT to suck at language challenges

How NOT to suck at language challenges Olly Richards is an polyglot (he speaks 7 languages!) and runs a popular language learning blog called I Will Teach You a Language! This is a great post that he wrote which we hope will help you through the italki 2015 New Years Language Challenge. Reposted with permission. Original Post here. “Language challenges”, you may have noticed, are cropping up all over the place! Typically lasting either 30 or 90 days, you come together with other learners from around the world to set goals, learn from each other and make giant strides forward in your language learning. That’s the theory at least. In language challenges, as with anything else, there is the potential to waste your time and even set yourself back. Get it right, though, and you can genuinely catapult your level in your target language into the stratosphere. In this post, I’m going to draw on my experience in the first Add 1 Challenge(back in 2013) to show you exactly how to make a language challenge work for YOU. I know this, because in my first language challenge I made a lot of mistakes…despite being a fairly experienced language learner. Suddenly finding yourself in a new environment can really throw you, even if it does happen to be online! I worked too hard, tried to outdo myself, took it all a bit too seriously… …and ended up burning out! Luckily I managed to turn it around, and wrote about how I did it in this post about learning Cantonese. I don’t want this to happen to you, so read on… 9 keys to success in a language challenge 1) Don’t aim too high. Small steps forward in the right direction are infinitely better than shooting for an unachievable goal and burning out, or beating yourself up for not reaching it. “Be  fluent” is not a good goal. “Have my first 15-minute conversation with a native speaker” is. Modest goals, by being achievable, create space for you to actually enjoy the learning process, and help you avoid the kind of stress that leads to you becoming demotivated and even giving up. 2) Don’t do things that aren’t sustainable in the long term. Sure, you  could  study for 3 hours every night during the challenge, but you won’t be able to keep it up for long.  Rather than aiming  to do as much as possible during the challenge, instead aim to develop habits and routines that you can sustain beyond the end of the challenge. This means focusing on approaches to studying that can fit around your lifestyle. Don’t try to make your lifestyle fit around your language learning â€" it won’t last long. 3) Don’t set goals, but do know where you’re headed. I’ve found that traditional goal setting in language learning doesn’t work for most people. Although this is counter-intuitive (goal setting is very powerful for most things) the reality is that you can’t really control what you learn.  You can, however, control the kinds of activities that might result in learning. By focussing on the process, and not worrying about the product, you will get much further along than if you’re constantly obsessing over “Have I learnt my 20 words for today?” I call this methodology Sprints, and have written a detailed explanation of it here. It has helped a lot of people move forward in their language learning and I highly recommend reading this post if you often find yourself confused about what to do. 4) Aim to experiment as much as possible. It’s by trying new things that you will eventually find  what really works for you. I’ve often found that one small discovery can change the way I learn languages altogether. This is yet another application of the 80/20 principle â€" most things you do will make no difference whatsoever, so learn to set them aside and keep pursuing those that will. 5) Talk as much as possible with other people also involved in the challenge. We’re social beings and shouldn’t exist in bubbles. You are the average of the 5 people around you. Firstly, there’s the moral support and motivation to carry on that you can get from other people. You can learn so much from what other people are trying, and you should always remember that it only takes one person to give you one idea that can change your direction totally. 6) Take the opportunity to push yourself outside your comfort zone.Try things that you wouldn’t otherwise. Scared of booking that tutoring session on iTalki? It’s now or never, and it certainly won’t get any easier once the challenge is over. 7) Announce what you’re doing to friends and family. Accountability is a big deal. In fact, telling people publicly that I’m learning Arabic  has been  a huge motivating factor for me in those moments when I’m less than up for it. I know, for example, that when I head to next year’s Polyglot Gathering in Berlin I’ll be quizzed (in a nice way): “So Olly, how’s your Arabic?” If I say that I haven’t got very far with it, I’ll feel rather foolish! 8) Speak with native speakers more than you currently do. A lot more. Speaking is probably the one thing you don’t do enough of, if your aim is ultimately to be fluent in your target language. Let’s be honest, if you did enough speaking you wouldn’t need to join a language challenge.  And this means that you need to go into the challenge understanding that the elephant in the room really is speaking you’re going to have to find ways to speak more, and services such as iTalki really are the best. If you haven’t started speaking your target language regularly with people yet, it really is much easier and less daunting than you think, and I’ve written a guide to getting started which will help you with this. 9) Don’t ever compare yourself with others. It’s not about how good you get in 90 days. Don’t fall into the trap of comparing yourself to other people or their level. Everyone is at different stages and will end up in different places. That’s fine. What matters is what you learn for yourself, and, ultimately, what you carry forward to the weeks and months after the challenge is over. As such, don’t worry one bit about “his Japanese is better than mine” or “her accent is more convincing than mine” â€" it may well be, but it doesn’t matter, because you should only worry about how far you’ve come and what you’ve learnt. Follow these guidelines and you’ll be way ahead of the pack.

What is a Ligand in Chemistry?

What is a Ligand in Chemistry?As a chemist, you have to know what is land and what are the lands that will be used for all of your chemistry experiments. It is crucial that you know what this is because the discoveries you make will be crucial to your future as a chemist.A ligand is a chemical substance that binds to a ligand-type receptor on a cell. This receptor is in the endoplasmic reticulum. The land is not in the endoplasmic reticulum but in the membrane that surrounds it.This holds the cell together, preventing other molecules from getting through the cell to cause harm. The cell is always alive, which means that the ligand that binds to the receptor is in constant contact with the cell. Whenever a molecule gets through, the cell suffers damage and death. So, ligands work to hold the cell together by forcing it into something called an endocytosis process.An endocytosis process is when a land comes into contact with a cell. This causes it to bind to the cell membrane of the ce ll, where it attaches to the receptor. Once the land is in the membrane, the cell is said to be in the active state, and it can then go into a process called export or translocation.In an endosymbiotic transfer, the ligand and cell membranes are able to do one of two things. They can unbind to each other, causing them to separate, or they can unbind, allowing the land to enter the cytoplasm of the cell. Once in the cytoplasm, the ligand is able to attach to the receptor. Once it has attached, the cell becomes part of the organism.The ligand has the ability to act either as a poison and an aid to life. For the most part, the ligand in chemistry is either a free radical, a compound that does not react well with other compounds, or both. The free radicals are found mostly in the form of OH radicals, and the compound that does not react well with other molecules is found mostly in the form of carbonyls.It is important that you know what a free radical is, as it is one of the most damagi ng substances known to science. Many of the chemicals that we use every day can cause havoc with our health if they are exposed to too much of a compound, especially if it is more than one. In order to protect yourself from harmful molecules in your environment, it is necessary that you know what a ligand is.

(Source: Wokandapix)Since parents aren’t present in class, they often find it difficult to truly understand why their child is strug gling. This means the problem can get increasingly worse. Everyone wants to avoid this. Tutors, therefore, need to tailor their tutorials to each student and their needs.For one reason or another, they’re struggling with a certain lesson. The academic support tutor can’t take the same approach as they would with other students.Tailored TutorialsTailored tutorials adapt to a student’s personality. That's one of the biggest benefits of one on one tutoring.Not every student has the same needs and neither does every student learn in the same way. Private tutorials are often seen as a punishment and the tutor needs to provide a relaxed environment.Some students won’t feel like making an effort. The tutor’s role is to make sure that they do.Other students might be quite shy. Of course, they can’t be as shy in private tutorials as they can in class. In tutorials, they have to make an effort. The tutor needs to encourage them to participate.Put simply, there are plenty of differ ent types of students.

While they probably won't provide much academic coaching or tuition during this hour, it can be useful to see what kind of tutor they are and whether it's worth scheduling more in the future.If you're concerned about the cost of hiring private tutors, you could also consider getting a tutor to do a group tutorial or a workshop for several students at once. While these sessions will be more like a seminar at college or university, students can get far more out of them than they otherwise would in the larger classes they're used to at school.Whether they're at primary school, secondary school, sixth form, college, or university (undergraduate and postgraduate), any student can benefit from having someone there to assist them with their studies during the academic year and the holidays.Of course, don't forget that you don't have to be studying for exams to get a tutor.
