Top Tips on How to choose a tutor

Top Tips on How to choose a tutor For a parent or guardian, choosing a tutor can seem like a daunting task. This is someone who will potentially spend a lot of time with your child. If they get on well, the tutor is likely to have a great deal of influence over how your child sees their own education and the world. Firstly, before looking for a tutor, remember to discuss this with your child as this could be a sensitive issue for them. Parents then find tutors in many ways. There are a growing number of agencies throughout the country, some people use personal ads and a great number rely on personal recommendations. Tutorfair is the first website that allows you to actually book online, and since it funds charity work which addresses educational disadvantage, I would definitely suggest that you have a look there first. Before choosing a tutor it is often a good idea to meet at least a couple of other tutors first. Each will have a different style and the most important thing is to see who seems to fit best with their potential student, your child in this case. It can be tempting to base your decision on who you like the most, or indeed, the tutor that seems to have a tutoring style that you would have liked when you were a child. However, it is not you that has to work with them. It is therefore very important to listen to your child, see who they like and who they feel they could learn best from. If your child likes the tutor then half the job is done already as they will often start to work harder just to impress their new mentor. If your child doesn’t like anyone this can make the choice a little harder, and it may not be a problem with the tutors, more that the student has a problem with tutoring altogether. I’ve heard some parents actually ask their kids ‘ok, you’re going to have to work with one of them so who do you hate the least?’ This is not to say that you shouldn’t also trust your own gut instinct, just remember that it’s the student who will work with them. During your decision making process there are some key questions that I think are really worth asking your potential new tutor. If asked early on you could save a great deal of time later. Here are a few: • What kind of learner are you? Were you more visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, or did you learn by rote? • How would you deal with a student who doesn’t feel like doing any work that day? • Have you had any very difficult students and how have you dealt with them? This might all sound like an interview, and in some ways it is. I would advise against giving the potential tutor a hard time in this meeting but do voice your questions or concerns. Part of a tutor’s job can be to act as a go-between for the parents and kids regarding academics. However, I would be wary of any tutor who cannot explain what their working method is. Most of my work is gut feeling nowadays but I do have a set of approaches that I like to try first. If they can’t explain this to you in an initial meeting then I’d be concerned about their ability to explain anything challenging to a child who is really stuck. Something else to look out for is how qualified your new tutor is. Many tutoring agencies stipulate that a tutor should have qualifications that are at least one level above the ones they teach. For example, a GCSE Geography tutor should have an A-level in that subject, and some even stipulate that they should have a degree. This makes a lot of sense, however, it should also be pointed out that just because someone has a degree (or even a PhD) in a subject, doesn’t necessarily mean they can teach it. Some of the most inspiring tutors I’ve ever met have been those who struggled themselves at school. Most of the maths teachers I had in school had never really struggled with maths. However, it is clear to me now that this potentially made it more difficult for them to really empathise with a student who didn’t ‘get it’. I only started to understand maths later on, which in some ways has meant I find myself being more patient with students who do struggle, simply because I’ve been through the same struggle myself. Aside from being good teachers, the most successful tutors are those who are half way between a teacher and a best friend. These tutors inspire their students to want to learn, and often kids like them so much that they will work harder, perhaps in some way, to impress them. This is one of the most powerful tools that tutors have and therefore a great deal of their success will depend on the chemistry they have with their students. I’m not saying that every student should love every tutor they have, but if they really don’t get on then it’s bad news for both the tutor and the student. The tutor risks negative reviews from parents (and these do count in the playground outside school) and students risk wasting valuable time. It’s therefore important to see how a tutor interacts with your child, and although I do recommend leaving them alone to work together, don’t be afraid to ask your kid how they feel after the lesson. They don’t have to be overjoyed but it’s a good idea to see if they feel like they’ve learnt something and that they don’t feel completely overwhelmed and lacking in confidence… Once you have selected your tutor, the next question to ask is how to get the most out of your tutor. To find out my thoughts on this matter, please see my next blog, ‘Parents: How to get the most out of your child’s tutor’ which is coming soon

Instructor Spotlight Laisa Mathissen

Instructor Spotlight Laisa Mathissen Instructor Spotlight: Laisa Mathissen Laisa Mathissen, Instructor of Kumon Math and Reading Center of Fairfield â€" Downtown 4,826 miles. That’s the distance between Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Westport, Conn. It’s also the distance travelled in Laisa Mathissen’s journey with Kumon.  Laisa was 9-years-old, living in Rio de Janeiro,  when her parents enrolled her in Kumon. She remained enrolled for six years and credits the discipline, time management, and organization skills she possesses today to those years spent as a Kumon Student. Laisa’s academic studies eventually led her to London where she studied economics. After briefly working in the finance industry, Laisa and her husband moved to Connecticut in 2010. Around the same time, Kumon had a unique way of re-entering her life. “My stepchildren needed a little extra help with math,” said Laisa. “I recalled the success that I had with Kumon as a child and told my husband that we should enroll them. Shortly after enrolling, I realized that it could be a good job opportunity for me as well and asked the Instructor if she needed help.” Laisa worked at the Kumon Center for about a year-and-a-half as a center assistant. Because of her background in finance, she primarily worked with the higher-level math students. She eventually started working with newly enrolled students and was exposed to many of the business aspects of running a Kumon Franchise. “After about a year or so, I realized that Kumon didn’t just have to be a job for me. I could turn Kumon into a career,” said Laisa. “After experiencing Kumon as a student and as a parent, I knew that the method worked, but then seeing how the center was run as an employee, I was immediately drawn to the idea of becoming a small business owner.” Laisa saw the potential with Kumon and wanted to give other children the same opportunities she had.    For the past eight years, she has had two unique advantages that have helped her daily. Firstly, she was a Kumon Student, so she knows what they are going through every step of the way. She has experienced their joys, successes, failures and fears. Second, she is a Kumon Parent herself. “My two older children were enrolled in Kumon, but now my youngest, six and four years old, are also enrolled,” said Laisa. “Parents see that I’m not just passionate about what I do, but that I also believe in the product enough to have my own children enrolled in the program. That helps me build a relationship with my parents because I can give him tips not just as an Instructor, but also as a parent.” What is it about being an Instructor you enjoy the most?   As an Instructor, I like that I am in my student’s academic career for the long-run. I want my students to know that we are on this journey for a long time, that way they can trust me. Seeing them go from below grade level, to grade level or beyond is so satisfying. I enjoy being able to offer this growth opportunity for my students. What is the most valuable lesson you’ve learned as a Kumon Instructor? No two children are alike. I already knew this in theory, having four children of my own. When you are working with an early learner, you must be flexible. The key to success is being flexible to adapt to a child’s learning condition. Once I truly grasped this, I could see each of my students in a different light, and their strengths were more evident. Can you describe an instruction moment where you made an impact on a student?   Luckily, there are many moments I can recall. Most recently, we had a second grade math student who came to us because he was really struggling in school. His parents weren’t confident when I gave him a low starting point, but they luckily took a leap of faith with me. I was so elated when I heard he recently won a math competition in his class. This was a very special moment in this child’s life. It was the moment he realized he can do anything if he sets his mind to it. Moving forward, he can apply this method to virtually anything in his life, whether it’s cooking, learning a musical instrument, or learning a trade. What do you like to do in your spare time?   In my spare time, I really try to invest in my health. Exercise is a priority and it makes it even better when I can do it with my friends or family. I also really enjoy playing with my daughters and love to spend as much time with them as possible. What is a fun fact about you that people may not know?   Every Friday, I play in a soccer league and take Bikram yoga (hot yoga) classes. When I’m not lost in the next good read from my book club, I love binge-watching shows on Netflix with my husband, especially political dramas. I recently started painting, which I find to be very relaxing! Learn more about the Kumon Franchise opportunity and discover additional franchisee success stories.

What Is Precipitation Chemistry?

What Is Precipitation Chemistry?Precipitation Chemistry is a rather important branch of Chemistry and has had a massive impact on all forms of research. For more than the last few centuries, researchers in this field have worked to understand the different elements that make up the whole universe, how they interact with each other and how they combine. They are involved in many types of experiments, ranging from simple methods of identification to those that carry out chemical and physical experiments. Whether you are an amateur or professional researcher, it is important to pay attention to all the aspects of precipitation chemistry.Precipitation can be defined as any type of process that occurs as a result of water. The most common type of this type of process is rain. Rain falls on the earth's surface and carries all the water necessary for plants, animals and people to survive. It also carries important nutrients such as sodium, potassium, calcium and nitrogen for the growth of p lants and animals. Although there are other processes that produce rain such as wind, gravity and pressure, it is essential that you understand the basics of precipitation.Precipitation chemistry deals with how elements react to one another when they come into contact with each other. This is a complex subject that has many variables and can be difficult to understand for even the best of scientists. Most meteorologists attempt to explain how precipitation occurs by taking several meteorological events and working out how all the elements of the atmosphere react to them. This is not always an accurate process, though, because some forms of precipitation may be entirely internal to a weather system, which can only be explained by examining this same system under a microscope. This explains why meteorologists need an understanding of precipitation in order to determine what the weather is going to be like.There are many different forms of precipitation and the way that they affect the environment. One form is called volcanic ash and it tends to fall as pebbles and ash on the ground. Volcanic ash is formed by volcanic eruptions, which occur on average every ten years. Other forms of precipitation include snowfall and hail. Hail is made up of silicates, which are similar to sodium chloride. Snowfall occurs when water vapor condenses and changes into a solid form, which leaves a thin layer of ice.There are many forms of precipitation that have a significant effect on the environment but very few of these are studied in detail in the scientific community. These include fog, haze, dust, smoke and rain. There are many different forms of precipitation that have a significant effect on the environment but very few of these are studied in detail in the scientific community. These include fog, haze, dust, smoke and rain. We are all familiar with water vapor, which is generally made up of oxygen and hydrogen gas. In addition to the water, the atmosphere consists of other g ases such as methane, ammonia and carbon dioxide.We can also take water vapor and convert it into a gas, or dry air. Air is made up of gas molecules that interact with one another in the process of compression and expansion. They are both made up of atoms, but atoms tend to move very quickly and they do not stay still for very long. When water vapor combines with other gases, it becomes a gaseous state. This occurs when it is in contact with other atoms, or when it finds itself in a gas that is already in motion.When we study precipitation, we do so because we want to understand the way that certain gases and particles interact with each other. The result of these interactions is a reaction. This is important because different gases have different effects on the environment. For example, the very cold air that forms a storm can be replaced by warm air that makes a storm more intense. When you study the relationship between water and other gases, you can learn a lot about these inter actions.

Online Slant Asymptotes Tutors

Online Slant Asymptotes Tutors Asymptote is a straight line which almost approaches the curve and doesnt cross it at any finite points. There are three possible asymptotes for a given curve they are horizontal asymptote, vertical asymptote and slant asymptote. Slant asymptote is also called as oblique asymptote. A slant asymptote is where the numerator has greater degree than the degree of the denominator. The slant asymptote is the found by the method of long division where the numerator is the dividend and denominator is the divisor. Example 1: Find the slant asymptote of the curve y = (x3 + 5x2)/x2? Solution: Given is the curve y = (x3 + 5x2)/x2. Here the degree of the numerator is 3 and the degree of the denominator is 2. The degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator. The numerator can be factored as (x3 + 5x2) = x2 (x +5). The denominator is x2 dividing gives x2 (x +5)/ x2 = x +5. Hence the slant asymptote is y = x+5. Example 2: Find the slant asymptote of the curve y = (x2 + 3x + 2)/(x+2)? Solution: Given is the curve y = (x2 + 3x + 2)/(x+2) Here the degree of the numerator is 2 and the degree of the denominator is 1. The degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator. The numerator can be factored as (x2 + 3x + 2) = (x + 2) (x +1). The denominator is (x +2) dividing gives (x +2) (x +1)/ (x + 2) = x +1. Hence the slant asymptote is y = x +1.
