Writing a Tutoring Letter of Recommendation

Writing a Tutoring Letter of RecommendationEven though you don't want to waste your time or efforts writing a tutoring letter of recommendation, it is important that you do so. If you are trying to find a job in the area of education, then you need to have a letter of recommendation as a back up plan. And writing a tutoring letter of recommendation is as easy as you think.One great way to get started is by taking the time to look through resumes that have been filled out. In addition to your own resume, check out the resumes of other teachers you know who are seeking jobs in the area of education. You can make notes on what is written and ask questions about some of the information.Once you've looked at some resumes, you may want to go online and visit a realtor's website. Many realtors today will let you view portfolios of other applicants. A portfolio is a list of applications that have been filled out, and in some cases, a sample of what they are looking for.When you're looking at portfolios of letters of recommendation, look for those that include a signature, a title and/or the school that the letter was sent to. Most teachers would be glad to receive a letter of recommendation from their students. So take time to read the testimonials that come with them. After you've done that, begin to compile your own.Be sure to write something that does not require you to prove any knowledge or work ethic. If you can demonstrate them, then you should write your own letter. If you have a great writing style, you will have no problem writing your own. However, make sure that your letter shows genuine interest in their teaching, along with the teaching qualities that you believe will be most beneficial to them. Your student has a right to know that you truly value them as a person and that you see them as an important part of your life and your future.There are many resources online for those who are interested in writing letters of recommendation. You can begin your res earch online or through the local library. However, make sure that you give a lot of thought to how you will structure your letter of recommendation.Remember, when you are writing a letter of recommendation, you should state why you believe the person is right for you and that you recommend them to others. The best letters of recommendation are ones that state why you feel that the person you are recommending is the right person for you and also why they are the right person for you. You can give an example of that in your letter of recommendation. Keep it simple, and remember that it is important that you don't waste your time or efforts writing a tutoring letter of recommendation.

10 Facebook Language Learning Ideas Youll Like or Love 10 Facebook Language Learning Ideas Youll Like or Love Did you know that Bob Dylan is a visual artist?Or that Vladimir Putin can play Russian classics on the piano?Or that Angelina Jolie is a licensed pilot?And hey, did you also know that Facebook is a language learning powerhouse?Yep, you just need to approach it with the right mindset  to fully harness its educational potential.In this post, were going to show you how to master a language through strategic Likes, friendly Follows and other Facebook-based tricks.Below are 10 ways to make your Facebook account burst with language lessons and insights that get a big thumbs-up from us. Learning a Language Through Facebook? For Reals?!We all know Facebook as a social networking site. In fact, its the biggest of them all, surpassing Twitter, Instagram and other social media, with more than 2 billion active monthly users.Despite the funky press its received over the years, many find it hard to imagine life before Facebook. The social network has practically embedded itself in almost all asp ects of life. But all this success aside, Facebook is still often an untapped resource when it comes to learning a new language. When our idea of Facebook is primarily a place to tag our friends, post cryptic I hate somebody, guess who updates and watch viral videos, we miss out on huge learning potential staring us right in the face.The thing about Facebook is, youre already there, and you already know how it works!So you might as well make it count.Think about it. The world is on Facebook: the native speakers you seek, the language content youve been looking for. All the big language content producers are there. And in a place like Facebook, unlike with standalone websites, you get to talk to everyone. You get to comment. You get to ask questions. You have a say in things. Its very democratic.But people have not yet woken up to the idea of Facebook as a major language learning resource. The language learning taking place, if it happens at all, happens tangentially, or by chance. T his shouldnt be the case, however, because if you think about it, Facebook is practically designed for the language learner. (It has translation capabilities, for goodness sakes!)Its time we take this platform by the horns and milk it for all its worth.So here are 10 things you can do today to re-discover Facebook as the awesome language learning platform its always been.10 Facebook Language Learning Ideas Youll Like or Love1) Join language learning groups.Facebook is a very good platform for people with similar interests to find each other, interact and, ultimately, become a community. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of groups that cater to language learners. You can join general purpose language groups that welcome learners of all tongues into their fold. You also have language-specific groups like those interested in Korean, Arabic  or  German.To find these learning communities, simply go to the search bar and use search terms like [French, Spanish, etc.] language learning groups. This will bring up relevant results for groups you can instantly join.To maximize these communities, be an active member of your groups. This goes from the very day you join. Give everyone a hearty, Hello! Newbie here! The people who wave back will likely be the ones who are the most active in the group, and you should take the opportunity to strike up a conversation with them.Language learning groups can be wellsprings of information and opinion. You can ask for reviews for certain language products, you can be pointed to resources you would otherwise have never heard of and you can make friends along the way!2) Like pages that deal with your target language.Want your FB feed to be an automatic learning machine, continually serving you up language learning opportunities? Like those pages and posts that relate to the language youre studying. Smashing the thumbs-up button on these babies will let Facebook know that youre interested in topics related to your target language an d will prioritize displaying them on your feed. Facebook goes, Oh, so you like that, huh? Well, heres moreSo how do you find out about content to Like and Follow in the first place? Well, its best to step out of Facebook and use Google for this. For example, lets say you want to get to the major Italian newspapers. Type in Italian newspapers in Italian on Google and youll get the names of their major dailies. Pick one newspaper, say, Corriere della Sera  (Evening Courier). Copy and paste its name into the Facebook search bar to see if the publication has a FB presence. When you see they do, dont hesitate to smash Like on their page. Do this for several newspapers, and soon, your feed will be populated with updates and news in Italian.Try this method for any type of content youd like to have on your feedâ€"for example, foreign language TV shows, like the German Der Tatortreiniger  (The Crime Scene Cleaner), or foreign language magazines, like the French Le Point.Now your feed might b e populated with friends or acquaintances whose love life or daily lunch pics dont interest you that much. You can tell Facebook not to show things like this on your feed so your language-related content doesnt get buried under the rest of the noise by choosing to Unfollow people or groups (you can still remain friends with them, but just not see their content).This way, your timeline will show language learning content thats worth a real look.To really have more control over what shows up on your timeline, click the downward pointing triangle found at the top right corner of your screen. Click on News Feed Preferences. Youll then be shown options like Prioritize who to see first, and Unfollow people to hide their posts.3) Watch viral videos from people that speak your language of interest.Youre already watching videos on Facebook, right? Might as well watch those that have something to do with your target language. Viral videos are highly memorable, and so they make the language th ey come in memorable as well. Maybe one shows a Chinese couple arguing about some silly thing, or a French boyfriend explaining an oncoming prank or even a Spanish sketch about the lovely differences between being single and attachedâ€"milk these visual contexts for language lessons.To find these viral videos, its again best to search through Google. Type in Spanish viral videos Facebook, for example, and you’ll see an assortment of hits. You can also add search terms like funny, inspirational, top, amazing, etc.This method can lead you to whole pages of videos and images. For example, Spanish learners can get to pages like Mexican Funny Videos, which curates humor content. There, youll find videos like La Jefa (The Boss), which shows a mother telling a son to clean the house, or else face terrible consequences.Dont forget to Like the pages or accounts containing the videos so their updates get locked into your Facebook feed.If you enjoy learning with videos on Facebook, youll def initely want to check out FluentU, which curates the best of YouTube in your target language for you. FluentU tracks down real-world videosâ€"like movie trailers, music videos, news and inspiring talksâ€"and turns them into personalized language lessons.4) Add native speakers to your Friends list.Native speakers are your ultimate language insiders. They can teach you their language in a way a textbook never can.And the cool thing about native speakers is that you basically just have to find one. And that one will be connected to loads of others.One way of finding native speakers is through the language learning groups we talked about earlier. Be on the lookout for native speakers who simply joined a group because they want to help everybody else. When somebody in the group asks a question and somebody else addresses the query with something like, Im a native speaker, and the answer to your question is, thats a green light for you to add that person as a friend. Theyve already signal ed willingness to help, and are therefore a high-quality friend add.And like I said, you just need one connection, and this will likely open up a whole network of native speakers for you.5) Study status updates and posts by your newfound friends, and write your own.Lets say you already have several native speakers added to your list. Milk their profiles by following them and studying their updates and posts. (What an easy way of learning with authentic content!)They wrote something? Theres a language lesson for you! Find out what its all about. Like social media posts in your native language, it may be short, silly and mundane. Heck, they might just say that they just finished a good cup of coffee, but thats a gold nugget right there for a language learner like you.They posted pictures? Read those captions and learn the fastest ways of describing things!As long as were on the topic of posts and updates, did you know that you can write your own posts in your target language? Just act ivate Multilingual Posts in the Language section of Settings, and every time you send out a post, you can choose to write it in French, Spanish, etc. This is an excellent way to practice writing in your target language.Dont worry that your friends might think you weird when their feed shows inscrutable French from you. Facebook will automatically translate your blurbs into English and your friends will be none the wiser.6) Read (and write) comments.Comments sections are a treasure trove of language gems waiting to be discovered. They can get even longer and more detailed than posts and updates, so theyre perfect for intermediate learners wishing to flex those linguistic muscles.Whether youre on a language learning page or a native speakers account, reading replies to updates will teach you things like vocabulary, common phrases, common expressions, sentence construction and idiomatic expressions. When youve got native speakers chatting back and forth, their language on full display, oh, thats simply a masterclass in the language.Just make sure that Facebook doesnt automatically translate your target language into English. To do this, go to Settings and click Language. Under News Feed Translation Preferences, edit Which languages do you not want automatically translated? Type in your target language and save those changes.This will allow you to view the comments and post in the original language that it was written. And dont worry, if you need it rendered in English, you can always click the ubiquitous See Translation.7) Check out pages for language learners.Earlier, we talked about language learning groups, right? Lo and behold, there are also pages and accounts run by polyglots, language bloggers, language content producers and institutions that give you heaps and heaps of free material.Youll find pages like polyglot Luca Lampariellos The Polyglot Dream  or, for Spanish learners, Señor Jordans Spanish Videos.Every Tom, Dick and Harry who produces language le arning content is probably on Facebook. And guess what, you often get richer information from their FB pages or profiles than their websites. With standalone .com websites, you have a one-sided flow of information. Its the company presenting their stuff. On Facebook, theres a lot more interaction happening. People get to comment and write in their reviews, suggestions and queries.So do check these out. Follow FluentU on Facebook and well keep you updated on our latest posts with language learning tips and resources.8) Pursue your hobbies and interests but in the target language.You have hobbies and subjects that grab your attention, right? What if I told you that you can pursue those wide-ranging interests and your love for languages at the same time?Because Facebook is such an international brand, people all over the world are using it. And guess what, theyre Facebooking in their own tongue, posting content in a variety of languages.Say youre passionate about food and scouting for great recipes. Instead of hobnobbing with the FB accounts of your favorite cooking shows in your native language or your go-to native-speaking chefs, search for chefs and shows in the language youre interested in. Youll not only get to see a different set of fare from an authentic perspective, youll also learn a new language along the way. Even a one-minute video that time-lapses the process of making a simple dish, flashing the different ingredients on the screen, can be a great vocabulary lesson.So whether you have an unmatched affinity for DIY projects, gardening, stamps or cars, Facebook can help you learn a language and engage your other passions at the same time.9) Watch some live streams in your target language.Facebook has launched live streaming capabilities on its platform, which means real-time language learning opportunities for those who know how to properly look and listen.You can find videos that are currently playing live by scrolling down to the Explore section loca ted on the left-hand side of your screen and clicking on Live Video. Follow enough language-related pages and youll have more opportunities to catch an interesting live feed in your target language.However, the live streams you watch dont necessarily have to have anything to do with language learning, as long as theyre in the target language. Hey, one could be about a French lady selling the contents of her closet online, or a German knife manufacturer exhibiting the virtues of his productâ€"the smart language learner uses these events as learning opportunities.They listen to whats being said. They listen to the tone and inflection of words. They watch for the most commonly repeated phrases and expressions. They have a dictionary or translator app ready just in case.Because live streaming doesnt come with subtitles or transcriptions, its best suited to intermediate and advanced learners out to hone their listening and comprehension skills.And if youre bold enough, you can test your writing chops by joining the live chat and asking a question or two of the host, all in the target language. Theres no guarantee that your comment or question will be answered (much less read), but its still good practice for communicating your thoughts in written form.10) Unleash the beast: Set your Facebook language to your target language.And last but not least, you can simply go all the way and immerse in the target language by changing the language FB comes in. Go to Settings and click on Language. Edit the section What language do you want to use Facebook in by choosing your target language.Click Save changes. (It will change your world.)So for example, if you change the language settings from English to French, the whole Facebook interface now is in French. The Like button becomes J’aime  and See translation becomes Voir la traduction. (And you will never be the same.)Youll feel like a fish out of water initially, maybe even thinking, This isnt Facebook! But resist the urge to navigate back to the settings and change back to English. Stop yourself, because very soon, youll get the hang of it. Soon, youll be breezing through the French interface without even missing a beat.So there are 10 things you can do to your Facebook to turn it into a language learning site. Each is powerful in and of itself, but use three or four in unison and youll really be beginning to harness the platforms language-enriching capabilities.But of course, dont forget to Like that picture of your friends cat. Itll make her day!Hope this post made yours. And One More ThingIf youre looking for even more ways to fully immerse yourself in a second language, then youre going to love learning with FluentU!FluentU takes real-world videosâ€"like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talksâ€"and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.With FluentU, you hear languages in real-world contextsâ€"the way that native speakers actually use them.Just a quick look will give you an idea of the variety of FluentU videos on offer:FluentU really takes the grunt work out of learning languages, leaving you with nothing but engaging, effective and efficient learning.

March Learning Womens History Month

March Learning Womens History Month Womens History Month March is National Womens History Month. Students who want to stay relevant in the field of womens history should think about adding a few feminine voices to their studies this month. March can be an inspiration to both female teachers and students alike. Learning about womens history cannot only broaden a student’s view on women’s contributions but integrate historical feminine figures into their other studies, thus improving their education in general. 1. Test prep SAT students are consistently struggling with historical examples for their SAT essay our private Orange County SAT tutors are here to help. Many students come up with highly famous historical figures such as George Washington or Gandhi. Although both very relevant people, SAT graders do not enjoy reading about the same half dozen figures over and over again. Students should increase their historical awareness and be prepared to write about lesser-known, although equally relevant, female figures in history. Students who are about to take the SAT should learn about the biography and contributions of figures such as Jane Addams, Susan B Anthony, Catherine the Great, Amelia Earhart, Maria Montessori and so on. Writing about historical figures that are less common can help a SAT student demonstrate their knowledge of a diverse and in-depth history and potentially raise their essay grade (READ: Last Minute SAT Study Guide). 2. Understanding history in general Students of history (which is every high school student), will notice that they are often tested on pivotal people and events. Student should always remember to learn about famous women in history so that they can become better history students in general. For example, future scientists should know about the achievements of Sally Ride (the first American woman in space and also the youngest American astronaut to go to space) and Rosa Parks (one of our greatest civil rights figures in America). 3. Science and technology With STEM programs on the rise, its important for young female students to know about their famous female scientific predecessors. With more and more STEM jobs available, its essential that young students everywhere be aware of how this innovative and lucrative field started. One of our most famous female scientists in history was Marie Curie (the first woman to win a Nobel Prize), but there are many more scientific ladies to learn about. For example students should learn more about: Caroline Herschel, an astronomer, Mary Anning, a paleontologist and scientific illustrator, and Maria Mitchell, a science and math teacher as well as an astronomer (READ: March Lesson Plans and Supplemental Education Activities). 4. Women’s Suffrage Students can also learn about fabulous historical figures such as Alice Paul and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who, among many others, led the womens suffrage movement in the United States. Every American student should have a grasp of not only the historical figures in the womens suffrage movement but also the causes of it and the struggles that these now famous ladies faced throughout recent American history. This is important not only for general knowledge but for AP US history students. Knowledge of the womens civil rights movement is essential to have a well balanced view of American history in general. In Short Although the study of our great ladies of history is a fine academic pursuit in and of itself, students are advised that any study of history and our prominent feminine figures can help them better understand a diverse range of subjects ranging from test prep to current scientific theory to sociology and psychology. Students should take a couple of hours this March to learn about some of our greatest historical female figures to improve their knowledge of all subjects.

This holds true regradless of whether you’re just starting out with teaching or you’re already a highly experienced ESL instructor. After all, non-native English teachers bring some unique stengths to the job that native speakers often don’t possess. For starters, you’ve already been through the language learning process firsthand. Who could be more empathetic to the needs and challenges English language learners face than someone who’s been in their shoes before? Moreover, you (arguably) have an stronger grasp of grammar and other technical aspects of the English language than your native English speaking counterparts.

Learning An Accurate A+ Chemistry Abbreviation

Learning An Accurate A+ Chemistry AbbreviationThe A+ Chemistry Abbreviation is a very important part of any undergraduate chemistry course. It is commonly used in the first year of chemistry so that the students are not confused by the new writing system. There are four letters that make up the A+ Chemistry Abbreviation.English spelling of the word is - AC. In a word - AC. The pronunciation is similar to the English spelling, - 'AK. But with a hard 'K' sound which is quite similar to 'K'. So the two sounds are almost similar.The letter 'K', which is in the A+ Chemistry Abbreviation is called the Esperanto k. It is pronounced as the English spelling 'K' and is an alternative form of the K. The vowel in the 'K' is more pronounced when the letter is pronounced in this way.The A+ Chemistry Abbreviation is actually a misspelling of English spelling. Actually, it is very close to 'AC' in pronunciation. The letter C is also close to English spelling C and there is no special meaning attache d to the letter C.The letter Q is also close to English spelling Q and there is no special meaning attached to the letter Q. It is a mispronunciation of English spelling R and there is no special meaning attached to the letter Q. This is the reason that the students should not worry about the letter Q in their A+ Chemistry Abbreviation. This is the whole point of the A+ Chemistry Abbreviation.There is one letter that is completely different from English spelling and that is G. This letter is pronounced like the English spelling G and has no special meaning. This is also why most of the students face problems in their A+ Chemistry Abbreviation as they get confused by the letter G.It is always better to get an online copy of the exact spelling of the words for English. This is because people don't tend to write things the same way as they pronounce them. The words may look the same but if you try to read it out loud, you will know that it is pronounced differently. For example if you want to spell out A+ Chemistry Abbreviation, you would not want to spell it with English spelling.

Learning to Read Music An Introduction for Singers

Learning to Read Music An Introduction for Singers Suzy S. Learning to read music can be a daunting task for beginner singers! Here, Ann Arbor, MI voice teacher  Elaina R. shows you how to get started Not to point out the obvious, but as singers, we don’t have keys on our instrument. We don’t have buttons that emit the same pitch every time they are pressed. Most of us don’t have perfect pitch, either. This makes learning to read music quite different for singers than for other musicians. Not only do singers deal with learning how to read what is on the page, we have to learn how each note feels in our voice. We have to learn to mentally map intervals and translate them from the page to our instruments. We have to stay in tune, even when singing a cappella (not an easy feat!). But don’t despair! Learning to read music is easy if you separate out the two basic components that make up music: rhythms and pitches. Feel the Beat Drums or clapping can keep rhythm because rhythm is independent from pitch. This is helpful, since you can practice the rhythm of a song before you sing a note simply by clapping or speaking it. If you do this work in advance, you don’t have to deal with learning the pitches and the rhythms simultaneously. Rhythm is controlled by several elements on the page: • Time Signatures: The time signature usually consists of two numbers, one stacked on top of the other, that come before the first note in a song. The one on top signifies how many beats are in a measure, while the one on the bottom signifies which note gets one beat. For example, 4/4 fits four quarter notes into each measure, 2/4 fits two quarter notes into each measure, and 2/2 fits two half notes into each measure. • Notes and Rests: Notes have different durations depending on how they look. They can look like round holes (a whole note, go figure), a filled-in note with a stem attached (a quarter note), a note connected to a bunch of other notes by a single line (an eight note), etc. Rests also have durations. Learning note and rest duration helps you with the rhythm of the music. Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the different kinds of notes, rests, and time signatures, try to put it all together. Start by speaking or clapping with the time signature. For example, for a piece in 4/4, start by marking time in four (one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, etc.) Then add the notes and rests into the structure of the time signature. The Keyboard is Your Best Friend Once you’ve learned the rhythm to your song, you will need to know a little more musical theory to read the pitches. The basic gist of it is simple: the staff is made up of five lines and four spaces. Each line or space represents a specific pitch. A note placed in a particular line or space means that you have to sing that pitch. Here are some need-to-know terms for reading pitches: • Treble and Bass Clef: These determine which line and space corresponds to which note. Treble clef is generally used for higher voices, bass clef for lower voices. • Sharps and Flats: Sharps raise the notated pitch by a half step, while flats lower it by a half step. To illustrate, if there is a note on the lowest line of a treble clef staff, it is an E. Stick a sharp sign next to it and it becomes E sharp. A flat sign changes it into E flat. As I’ve already pointed out, singers are at somewhat of a disadvantage as compared to musicians with instruments that aren’t body parts. We can’t press a key and expect to hear the same note every time. Therefore, we can’t pick up a piece of music and read it perfectly without a starting pitch. This is why, for singers, the keyboard is the best tool for learning to read music. Learn your pitches at the keyboard, listening to each one and repeating it in the context of the rhythm of a song. Learning to Read, Learning to Sing Of course, it’s important to reinforce learning to read music with learning to sing it. A voice teacher can help you hit those high notes easily and comfortably, create nice phrases, and breathe in the right places. And if you get stuck trying to read the music, your voice teacher is there to help you learn the notes! Elaina R. teaches opera voice and  singing in Ann Arbor, MI, as well as through online lessons. She is currently  working on a Master of Music at the University of Michigan, and she has a B.M. from the University of Southern California.  Learn more about Elaina here!

What better way then, than to give your child a helping hand and do some extra language tutoring outside of school?This can be one to one with a tutor or in small groups with pupils of a similar age. Learning another language with others in informal surroundings will encourage them to converse with each other in the new language naturally.

Source: Pixabay Credit: GeraltTraditional and Online Tutoring Adverts in LondonThese days, it is uncommon to find anyone who does not make use of technology, especially the Internet.Statistics show that Internet usage in the UK has grown, year over year, to take third place on the global E-commerce ranks.Still, when it comes to something so personal as shopping for a tutor, some might shy away from the digital realm, preferring to search for academic support using more tried and true methods.The most diligent tutors are aware of that fact and they diversify their advertisement in order to reach the maximum number of students.If you do not have access to the Internet or prefer to search for a tutor in more a traditional manner, then newsagent windows are a good place to look.Local tutors will often put up a small flier advertising their services alon g with a contact number. Bars and cafes, supermarkets and especially your local library and community centre may also have a small adverts board or table where you might find prospective tutors.If you wanted to launch a tutor search in this manner, you could put up a flier yourself in those same locations, as a 'help wanted' type advert - but make sure you ask for permission to do so first!It's logical to reason that, if tutors post bulletins, they would also scan such adverts for prospective pupils!Tutors often advertise in the local press, so be sure to have a look in the small ads section of your local newspaper or town magazine. The beauty of finding a tutor this way is that you know that they will be local to you, so your tutor's travel expenses won't be too much of an issue!The downside of such advertising is that, often, there is no clue as to whether that tutor has a wealth of teaching experience or is only starting out; what methods s/he employs to teach or what his/her suc cess rate is. And very few of them include testimonials from past students that tutor has worked with!The phrase 'your reputation precedes you' was built on the concept of being talked up (or down) by others.Word of mouth is one of the most valuable tools for advertising. Considering that, you may ask around in your neighbourhood; the chances are that somebody else is studying with  private tutors.Even if it is not in the subject that you are looking for help in, that tutor may know someone well-versed in the subject you require. So, whether you ask parents at the school gates or even ask your/your child's teachers for advice, you'll have a contact number for someone in no time.All of these methods of finding a tutor blend seamlessly with all of the  free advertising platforms on the Internet, where tutors post ads for those needing extra help with their studies in their area.Some of these include:All 4 KidsGumtreeFreeadsCare.comNet MumsNet Mums is a particularly valuable exchange p latform for tutors who work with younger children.It is an online community of parents (not just mums!) who all swap helpful tips in child rearing and, especially, education: the best schools, the best teachers... the best tutors.This is a way you can get feedback about prospective tutors: their fees, their pedagogy, their success in helping their students achieve academic excellence...Another great way to find a tutor is to head directly to a website dedicated exclusively to tutoring.Find London Tutors with SuperprofAs we mentioned at the start of this article, Superprof is an online platform for tutors and students which works in essentially the same way as other sites meant for a specific market.For example, the Net Mums site addresses concerns that parents face, including educational issues - and you may find excellent tutors, advertising among all of the other topics of conversation.By contrast, Superprof deals with education exclusively.Tutors advertise their services and stat e their location as well as their willingness to travel, so you can find someone near to you as well as ensuring that their profile matches what you're looking for.Speaking of profiles: Superprof allots each tutor an entire page to list his/her credentials, experience and other particulars.Reviewing Superprof profiles will tell you at a glance that tutor's instruction delivery method (by webcam, in person; in your home, his/her home or some mutually agreed upon location, such as the library or a coffee shop), whether s/he works with individuals or in small groups, and how fast you can expect to hear back from him/her once you make contact.Just take a look at these Superprofs's profiles:Christopher tutors in GCSE Maths and Science, as well as A-Levels Chemistry. He generally responds to inquiries quickly and his students accord him a 5-star rating.He's not to be confused with Chris, a Maths and Physics tutor who gives his first hour of lessons for free!Basit has been voted an ambassa dor: putting his skills to use helping students advance their understanding of subject material means students consistently rate him the best!Basit also gives his first hour of lessons for free!In fact, you will find that many Superprof tutors will not charge you a thing for their first hour of instruction. They wish to give you (and themselves) the opportunity to discover if you 'click' - if you will work well together before you hand over any cash. Isn't that generous of them?There are many benefits to using Superprof in your search for a private tutor. Not only can you look for a tutor in the comfort of your own home, but you can also learn plenty about each tutor thanks to the information displayed on each of their profiles before making contact.Another great feature of the Superprof platform is that students or their parents can leave reviews for tutors they have worked with.  Their doing so may help you to make your decision come time to select your ideal tutor.Unlike many tra ditional tutoring companies that may specialise in only one or two subjects, Superprof offers tutelage in a wide range of disciplines, at all levels - from preschool and primary all the way to postgraduate, and every stop in between.And they don't just tutor in academic subjects, either!On the Superprof website, you'll be able to find dance teachers, yoga teachers; musical instrument teachers and sewing tutors in addition to finding tutors in maths, English, science and languages.Are moving to a new city? Superprof is a UK wide tutoring platform and can help you find tutors no matter where you are. You may search for a Guitar teacher in Birmingham or a German tutor in Glasgow.If you're struggling in school, you could enrol in after-school programmes Source: Pixabay Credit: Patrice AudetSchool Support Programmes in LondonIf you/your student is struggling academically, an excellent way to help yourself/your child is an after-school club or holiday programme.Many primary schools sponso r such projects. Through them, you/your child may find help with homework or, indeed, such after-school programmes   may actually incorporate a separate homework club.High schools and colleges usually host a homework club once a week and they also hold revision classes in the run-up to examinations. Those can be invaluable for worried students as well as for those who like to push themselves.Some after-school support clubs and programmes in London include:The After School Learning Centre, in North London and Southgate, works with children as young as four years old, all the way up to 18.Their long list of enrichment activities includes standard academic subjects such as English and Maths, but they go further. To help hone critical thinking skills, they have a curriculum on verbal/non-verbal reasoning skills, and they host a GCSE revision over Easter holidays. You may even study Mandarin Chinese under their tutelage!You may visit their website for more information or contact them by telephone; 0208 440 8586Young Engineers  fosters a learning environment through atypical enrichment programmes, such as building with Legos and other building blocks.  Such activities help   develop and enhance spatial abilities - the capacity to visualise and solve problems.Spatial intelligence is a cornerstone of STEM subjects, those being: science, technology, engineering and maths. Studies show that, at present, our country suffers a dearth of students - especially females, who have a firm grasp - or even any desire to study STEM subjects.Yet those same categories hold the key to our country's future economic viability!By helping your child develop spatial awareness at a young age, you are indirectly helping him/her acquire maths skills that will serve to boost future academic performance, mayhap even negating the need for tutoring later in his/her academic career!You can find Young Engineers in west London, by calling 0752 260 2122.GCSEs are a career-defining event which, natur ally, makes them highly stress-inducing. To compound that effect, well-meaning students all over the country drive themselves mad, mentally scurrying hither and yon, trying to find their best study methods.Enter  King's College London GCSE enrichment classes,  a study programme developed for the express purpose of developing sound study habits ahead of the exam.It is true that schools avidly present students with new material but very little focus is given to how students should study for optimal information retention.To that end, King's College has devised an intense, math-based curriculum that broadens into critical thinking skills development.Rather than hammering away at what types of math problems you may expect to find on your exam, they highlight connections you may find between the types of answers expected to complete the exam satisfactorily.Perhaps the best part of this programme is that preference is given to underprivileged students: those in care or who are eligible for free school meals. Those whose parents never had the opportunity to attend university are also expressly welcome.All sessions take place in the Maths building, just a short stroll away from Waterloo station.Oxford Encompass EducationIf children can't learn the way we teach, perhaps we should teach them the way they learn.This quote greets visitors from  Oxford Encompass Educations's homepage; it expresses an impressive paradigm shift in generally accepted educational philosophy.Indeed, their learning programmes include a range of student-led teaching techniques, from debate and critical thinking exercises to creative assignments designed to broaden thinking and perspective.What we particularly liked about their programme is that the learner is always seen as an individual and, to that end, will help create his/her own Individual Learning Plan - an educational roadmap to academic success.They don't hold courses just for school-aged students! University students, educators and even b usiness professionals can all get in on the fun at Encompass.For those more mature students, we present The London Business School.In searching for more scientific approaches to the art of management in the early 20th century, a specific curriculum was designed that included the cornerstones of business management: accounting, communication, business ethics and business law among them.This type of degree, the Master of Business Administration, now known as an MBA, is one of the most sought-after qualifications of any professional in the business world; one you can attain at London Business School.This is a world-renowned institution, offering said Masters courses, as well as Executive Education courses and PhDs in the world of business and finance.They host an intriguing Entrepreneurship Summer School that gives students the opportunity to assess and shape business ideas in strong, practical ways, helping to turn ideas into viable business ventures through research, skills and insig hts.Volunteer Tutoring in LondonTutoring can be an expensive proposition, especially in large cities such as London, and it's no secret that students of wealthier homes fare much better on standardised exams, thanks to that help.Where does that leave students of more modest households?There are some volunteer agencies  whose tutors delight in giving extracurricular help for free. You may find such dedicated souls through  Action Tutoring  who work with local  primary and secondary schools to bring their tutoring programmes to pupils who are preparing for their SATS or GCSEs.The tutors are volunteers and they will tutor for a minimum of one term, at the same school at the same time each week. The basic aim of these projects is to provide educational opportunities, in the form of free tutoring, to pupils who would not otherwise be able to have private lessons due to financial reasons, to  help them achieve their educational potential.University Student's Union London has a fantastic m entoring programme!They recruit undergraduate student volunteers to work with students who are struggling academically. These students, who commit to the programme for an entire academic year, tutor in small groups or mentor GCSE-level students through their exam. In fact, there are so many support programmes this organisation coordinates:Youth in Action guides disadvantaged students through social problems they may faceInto University ensures that every student has the chance at a university education through mentoring and academic supportTeam Up connects university students with at-risk kids to help them stay on the safe side of lifeReach Out does community outreach as well as school supportWhatever the subject; whichever the case: in such a large, vibrant city as London, there is a tutor for all needs!If I'm searching for tutors near me, I always use Superprof.
