How to Study - The Benefits of the Howard Street Tutoring Manual

How to Study - The Benefits of the Howard Street Tutoring ManualHoward Street Tutoring Manual is one of the best sources for studying and improving your academic achievement. Students with high-school or college students studying the same subjects could both benefit from this book. It focuses on one subject at a time to help students learn through the small steps, so that it won't overwhelm them.One of the things I like most about this manual is that the author, Doug Schoon, gives examples of every lesson. He gives good explanations for why he gave certain lessons for example. The advantage to this is that students get to see examples to make it easier for them to grasp the lessons. They can start to practice the lessons right away.Another thing I like about this manual is that the lessons are organized and in a good order. For example, the first lesson is the introduction of a subject. Each lesson begins with an explanation of what the main purpose of the subject is, and then there is a list of tools or resources to help you in your learning process.There are many other advantages of this manual to students in regards to the learning process. They can also choose different reading materials with each lesson, and they can also add new reading materials as they go along with each lesson. For example, they can include the points made in a paragraph in the next lesson, or they can add new points.Another way they can be helpful to students is that there are several quiz games to make studying and learning fun. Students get to practice in front of the mirror and the computer to get the required points, and they can use their own study tools for the game.If you are taking the kind of course that includes homework, then this manual is useful to you. This manual will give the students easy access to the information for each lesson and will help them get through the assignments faster. They can also choose different resources for the assignments, and it will give them a way to learn and practice it as they go.I recommend the Howard Street Tutoring Manual to everyone. This manual has helped me to improve my study skills, and I've learned a lot in just one year. I'm sure that the information that I gain in my studies will help me be a better student.

English Listening Exercises 5 Ways to Listen Better

English Listening Exercises 5 Ways to Listen Better I saw the video 5 Ways to Listen Better (posted below) on TED today, and thought that a video about how to be a better listener would make a great English listening exercise. You can learn about listening better, while you learn English.I found this video interesting myself because as a teacher, I think one of the most important things I have to do is listen carefully to my students. When Im not listening carefully, I miss opportunities to have more meaningful interactions with my students, they become bored, and they dont learn as much. When Im really listening to what they say (dont worry, this is almost always, but we all have our bad days) classes are more fun and the students learn more.Below youll find a TED video featuring Julian Treasure talking about why listening is important, why people are not good listeners, and 5 ways you can learn to be a better listener.Click here to contact us and take an English class based on this video.Why you should listen to Julian:Julian Treasu re is the chair of the Sound Agency, a firm that advises worldwide businesses offices, retailers, hotels on how to use sound. He asks us to pay attention to the sounds that surround us. How do they make us feel: productive, stressed, energized, acquisitive?Treasure is the author of the book Sound Business and keeps a blog by the same name that ruminates on aural matters (and offers a nice day-by-day writeup of TEDGlobal 2009). In the early 1980s, Treasure was the drummer for the Fall-influenced band Transmitters.Here is the video below youll find listening questions:We are ______ our _________.How does Julian define listening?So in a _______ _____ like this, if I say ____ ____ ___ ________, some of you just sat up.What is pink noise?What did he promise his wife when they got married?In this scenario _________is listening to ___________.Name two synonyms for quiet that he says.What reasons does he give for people losing their ability to listen?What exercises does he suggest?Why is so important in listening?Every human being needs __ ______ consciously __ _____ to live fully.Do you think listening should be taught in schools?Do you spend any time listening carefully to something?Are you ever required to listen carefully to something?Do you think it is hard to listen sometimes? Has it gotten harder?

Choose the right Musical Instrument for your Child

Choose the right Musical Instrument for your Child There is so much choice in instruments out there that even the most savvy muso mums and dads can find it a hard task choosing the perfect one for their kids. We have found you the perfect pair to help you choose the right musical instrument for your child: introducing high energy music experts, the Musical Adventurists. Get in touch to ask for their guide, which covers everything from bold brass to soaring strings, describes each instrument’s personality and the pros and cons of learning that specific instrument. It is short and sweet, beautiful for your child to look at too, and is sure to give you a strong impression of the next step to take. The process of learning an instrument sets of fireworks off in the brain like no other skill, so get started! Matthew and Lydia, the Musical Adventurists, will come to your house and run a super fun, high energy Music Birthday Party for your child’s big day. Here they are, doing what they do best: “Being a Musical Adventurist has its perks. We’re too silly really, laugh endlessly and get to sing all the time! On top of that we love it because children respond to music so brilliantly... Usually children immediately join in at our parties, creating wacky dances and belt out some showstoppers, but occasionally, there is a child who is unsure. Once, last summer, we welcomed an immaculately well dressed tiny 5 year old boy who found the prospect of singing and dancing completely nightmarish. He hid behind the curtains, he shielded himself from comparatively Amazonian 7 year old girls and he barely made a sound. Lydia and I are always careful to encourage the children to take part and even to lead parts of the party but we won’t push anyone, and since he wasn’t wailing we assumed he was enjoying himself. The parents would obligingly pick him up saying how much he enjoyed it and off they would go. A few events later, we were half way through a particularly impassioned rendition of Frozen’s Let it Go when we asked if anyone wanted to have a stab at singing it as a solo. The room gasped, hands shot to the sky and Lydia and I had the enviable task of picking potential hopefuls. Suddenly I noticed that our tiny 5 year old friend was there again, and this time had his hand up. Well, we obviously had no hesitation in asking him up to the front and away he went, as pretty as a bell and sang his way all through the chorus. Now, the other children there probably had no idea of this little boy’s past shyness but it genuinely was a time when Lydia and I took stock. We love our parties and we always stand by our continuously proven philosophy that music unlocks the soul. Any inhibitions he might have had before were left outside, thank you very much! We were graced with his adorable grin till the end of the party. All I had to worry about was trying to stop Lydia from crying with joy. Well, perhaps both of us.” Lydia and Matthew met quite by chance one year at the International Edinburgh Fringe Festival where they were both on the famous Royal Mile promoting their respective shows. Lydia was performing in a short musical that eventually won Best New Musical at the Fringe called ‘Ed’ and Matthew was performing with his University sketch group, the Durham Review, which went on to win best student comedy! They realised they were both about to enroll at The Royal Academy of Music for their Post Graduate Diploma and the rest is Musical Adventurist history! After training at the Royal Academy, Lydia and Matthew set out into the London musical theatre scene. But they both felt that they had more to give, besides acting, particularly to children. Lydia had done a Music degree at Trinity College in Greenwich and Matthew had achieved a degree in Music at Durham.  After almost a year of work-shopping various ideas, they came up with 'The Musical Adventurists' music parties for children and haven’t turned back since! They are extremely nice, extremely silly, love working with children and have a strong desire to stand out from the crowd. Visit Matthew Lydia’s Musical Adventurist website  to ask their advice on choosing an instrument and to book a party, or search on Tutorfair for your dream Music Teacher.

College Admissions Essay Crunch Time

College Admissions Essay Crunch Time College Admissions Essay: The Time is Now                                                             Its that time of year when students have to hand in their college admissions essay. For students whose SAT or ACT scores are a little bit on the low side or for students whose GPA is lower than they would like, its extra important to have a fabulous essay. So what is it that makes an essay well above average? One â€" The essay should be incredibly unique. It must be unique in content but also in writing style. Many students have similar life experiences at age 16 and 17. However, students can put a unique and original spin on their particular struggles, volunteer experience, or personal outlook on life. Students should also show originality and writing style. If it appears that the essay has an overly rigid structure it will appear less interesting to the reader. Two â€" The essay should have absolutely no errors. It is especially important for an admissions essay to have appropriate structure, proper grammar, and absolutely no spelling or punctuation errors. Student writers should have multiple people proofread their essay or hire a professional proofreader who can catch any and all errors as well as provide appropriate suggestions for structural improvements our Irvine English tutors would be more than glad to read it. Three â€" The essay should be about you as a person. College admissions departments do not want to admit students who are all exactly the same. US colleges and universities like to have diversity on campus and so its important that the internal “you” can shine through your essay. If theres something unique about your personality or what you would like to do with your life or something that you have a particular passion for, its important to mention that in the essay (READ: College Application Crunch Time). What to Do Now So what do you do now that your college applications, including your admissions essay, are due less than a month from today? Here is a last minute timeline that you can follow to allow yourself the best chance at success as a student writer. One â€" Start writing right now. If, for some reason, you have not yet started writing the first draft of your essay now is the time to get started. Seriously, stop reading this blog, sit down at your computer and start typing. There is not much time left but there is still enough time for a dedicated student to finish a first and second draft and to arrange for a proofreader. Two â€" Polish up the content. If you have already written a rough draft for your essay now is the time to pull it out of your binder, backpack, or the drawer that you stuffed it in and take a second look. Read through it and see whats working and whats not. Grab two different color highlighters and highlight the things that are really great and the things that you would like to keep, and then highlight the things that need improvement (READ: 7 Best Essay Contests). Ask a parent, a trusted and dedicated friend, or a tutor to take a look at your essay. Ask them to give you absolutely honest feedback. What do they like about it and what dont they like about it? Then go ahead and write your second draft. Remember to do all of your content edits before you start your grammar edits, otherwise you may find that youre simply correcting things over and over again when it wasnt really necessary to do so. Three â€" Polish up the structure. If you feel that your structure is rigid or if you dont have any transition sentences, arrange to sit down with a tutor for an hour or two and get it polished up. If it is an option, hire a proofreader to go through and give you suggestions. It may take a couple of proofreads because you may need to send it back for a final edit after you fix the first set of corrections and suggestions. The college admissions essay is incredibly important and should not be overlooked and it is especially important for students who have lower SAT scores or a lower GPA. A fabulously written essay can often take a student’s application from the ‘maybe’ pile to the ‘yes’ pile in the college admissions department. For students who would like to attend a small liberal arts college, keep in mind that the essay is given a heavier weight on acceptance than at larger universities. There is still time, so start writing and get it out of the way so that you can enjoy your winter break. All blog entries, with the exception of guest bloggers, are written by TutorNerds.

Irvine Tutoring Tips Make Studying a Social Activity

Irvine Tutoring Tips Make Studying a Social Activity Tips From a Private Irvine Tutor: 4 Benefits of Making Studying a Social Activity Many students find that its helpful to study in the peace of their room or a library without any distraction. On the other hand, some students find it hard to get started on assignments or test prep without a social element to their studying. There are a lot of benefits of making studying a social activity and students who work together may find that their overall GPA is higher and that they are more capable of tackling those especially challenging assignments. 1. Motivation There are some subjects that students find especially dry and just arent motivated to work on. However, in a social situation, they want to keep up with the crowd and be able to participate to the same extent that their friends are. Many study groups split up different tasks so each student only has to delve into one or two chapters, which they can later present to the group. Sometimes, an especially motivated member of the team will create a study guide for everybody that will help them focus on different things that the teacher pointed out during class. Students are more motivated to succeed in front of friends than they are on their own and often find they are more successful in classes they dont particularly like. 2. Make studying fun Students who study as part of an official group or even just with a friend on a more informal basis are more likely to have fun studying and associate learning as something positive. When students are having fun, they are more likely to want to repeat the activity, which will help their grades and test scores overall. Alternately, students who find studying to be a constant chore want to avoid it, which can cause their grades to slip over time. Middle and high school students spend a large part of their day in a classroom and will begin to have increasing amounts of homework that needs to be completed in the afternoon. If they can have fun doing some of this, they will also have more of a work-life balance and enjoy this part of their life. 3. Get specialized help Students who work with a tutor can also make studying social. Tutors can act as excellent role models who can motivate students to work harder and also pinpoint which topics are especially difficult. When students realize theyre able to improve the quality of their assignments by working on just two or three weak areas, they often become more excited about learning and gain self-confidence in the difficult subject matter. Students who work alone may not receive the same amount of motivation and specialized help that they can get from a one-on-one tutor. 4. Cover all bases Some students who work solo can remember anything and everything that was assigned to them, while other students perhaps are not so organized. When students work in a group, they have an opportunity to keep each other in check, so each student remembers every single deadline for each class. It is helpful to have several people looking out for each other while staying organized. One student might be especially talented in English and can keep everybody else on track but might need a lot of help in math and rely on somebody else in the group to help them remember important assignments and deadlines.

Fargo an Educational Engine of North Dakota

Fargo an Educational Engine of North Dakota Fargo is the North Dakota’s largest city with population over 100,000. The city was founded in 1871 and was initially named Centralia. Later it was renamed Fargo in honor of William Fargo, a pioneer expressman, director of Northern Pacific Railway and founder of Wells Fargo Express Company. The arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad gave rise to the rapid development of this region. Since that time the Gateway to the West, as Fargo was called, had become an economic, manufacturing, educational, cultural and health care center of southeastern North Dakota. Several large businesses, such as Microsoft, Nokia, Case New Holland and Cetero Research operate in this area. Owing to the Fargo’s low unemployment and crime rates coupled with the decent supply of affordable housing Money Magazine ranked the city near the top of the list of Americas “100 Best Places to Live” (July, 2010). Forbes has also rewarded Fargo by ranking it the 7th best small city in the nation to start a busine ss or a career in 2009. Higher education, along with manufacturing, technology, food processing and retail trade, is one of the most progressive sectors of Fargo’s economy. Fargo with its twin city of Moorhead is home to three four-year universities. There are 35 K-12 schools in Fargo, including 26 public schools and 9 private schools. There are special education classes for students with special needs and advanced placement classes for high-performing high school students. The student to teacher ratio in Fargo for public schools is 15:1, which is 27.5% greater than the North Dakota student to teacher ratio and 5.6% less than the national student to teacher ratio. North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Sciences in Fargo, founded in 1890 as North Dakota’s first land-grant university, is a public research institution with an enrollment of more than 14,000 students. Colleges within the university are Engineering and Architecture, Science and Mathematics, Human Development and Education, Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Pharmacy, Nursing Allied Sciences, Business, Agriculture, Food Systems, Natural Resources, and University Studies.

The main fields of research at NDSU involve agriculture, chemistry,  nanotechnology, RFID t echnology and polymers/coatings. NDSU was named among the top 108 research universities in the nation by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education. It is the first and only university in North Dakota to achieve such prestigious status. Tri-College University, located on the NDSU campus, is a consortium of three major  Fargo-Moorhead colleges and universities: NDSU, Concordia College and Minnesota State University Moorhead.
