My Child is Having Homework Problems, How Can Online Tutor Help

My Child is Having Homework Problems, How Can Online Tutor Help 0SHARESShare Often children get stuck up doing their day to day homework problems. The reason can be lack of understanding while learning the topic at school or lack of time to complete the homework after the school hours. Whatever may be the reason, but children requires some extra help to fill up their gaps in understanding the topics, guide them in solving difficult homework problems or revise the lessons for test prep. There are a number of websites offering  online tutoring  services offer tutors and resources to facilitate an easy and convenient method of working.   The tutoring websites provide online help to the children to complete their school homework done at the time they want. The homework is done by the children and not by the tutor. Often people criticize the concept of homework as an extra burden to the children. Although, in reality, homework help children in improving their skills and abilities by revising the topics learnt in the school classroom.   Online tutors work very close with the students to work on their homework like reading and understanding the topic, to memorize, problem solving, preparing QA, designing projects and working on experiments. They help improving memory and thought process. The daily practice work and revision of school work prepare your child get ready for the next day.

Online Antiderivative Tutors

Online Antiderivative Tutors Derivatives and anti-derivatives are the two important methods used to solve questions in Calculus. Anti-derivative is the process of finding the area covered below the graph of the given function. Anti-derivative is the opposite of the derivative process and is commonly known as the process of Integration. Example 1: Find the anti-derivative of the function, f(x) = x3- 2x In order to find the anti-derivative of the above function, we can use the formula The Power Rule of Integration says that (x) n dx = x (n+1)/ (n+1) + c where c is a constant Using the above formula we get, f(x) dx = x3+1/ (3+1) - 2x1+1/ (1+1)+ c f(x) dx = x4/ 4 - 2 x2/ (2)+ c f(x) dx = x4/4 x2 + c Example 2: Find the anti-derivative of the function, f(x) = 5x4 + 4x3 x-2 In order to find the anti-derivative of the above function, we can use the formula: The Power Rule of Integration says that (x) n dx = x (n+1)/ (n+1) + c where c is a constant Using the above formula we get, f(x) dx = 5 * x4+1/ (4 +1) + 4 * x3+1/ (3 +1) x-2+1/ (-2+1) + c f(x) dx = 5 * x5/ 5 + 4 * x4/ (4) x-1/(-1) + c f(x) dx = x5 + x4 + 1/x + c

Volunteering In-Schools - Roses Story

Volunteering In-Schools - Rose's Story At the Foundation, we never cease to be amazed by the calibre of the volunteers that come forward to support our projects. Top-selling tutors, ex-teachers, retired professionals and promising undergraduates. What a group! At a recent training event we met Rose, a recent physics graduate who’d been tutoring under her own steam for years. We were so impressed with her passion â€" particularly her desire to open the door for young women in STEM. No time was wasted in finding her a school placement and right off the bat she started with 6 hours per week volunteering in the maths department. We reached out to find out a bit more about Rose and how she’s been getting on… Tell us a bit about you â€" how did you get to where you are now?     I grew up in South London and went to school in Tooting, where I did Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry at A-level. I went on to study for a bachelor’s degree in physics at Oxford University and graduated in July 2019 with a first. Now I’m back home and taking a few months off after finishing university, working in catering and teaching myself to code. How did you hear about the Foundation? How did you first get involved?   I have been a tutor in maths and science since I was 15, and I have always found it enjoyable and rewarding. On leaving university, I wanted to find a volunteering opportunity and after some research I discovered  Tutorfair  Foundation online and signed up! What are you doing with the Foundation this year?   Since the start of  November  I have been volunteering on Mondays at a school in Bethnal Green. I spend the first two hours of the day supporting a Year 12 Maths lesson, and the next two supporting a Year 13 Maths lesson. After lunch, I run a two-hour intervention session with 3-5 students, where we go over topics they are struggling with. What’s your favourite thing about volunteering with young people?   I really enjoy seeing the effect that a little extra help can achieve. It can be very hard to keep up in A-level maths, especially if the student isn’t very confident in their ability, but with a tutor there to fill the gaps, the student can really improve. What do you think is the biggest challenge working with young people?   Specifically  in maths, I have found that the biggest challenge is giving students the confidence to apply their knowledge from lessons and exercises to tests and exams. I try to keep this in mind when tutoring and get them to do lots of exam and harder questions. Has volunteering made you a better tutor? I definitely feel like a better tutor. Supporting lessons has given me an appreciation for the planning and structure of class teaching, and it’s interesting to see what approaches work best, and what students respond to. What’s your number one top tip for tutoring?   Listen to the student and let them do most of the work! If you plough ahead without them fully understanding the basics, then it will be really hard for them to make progress and gain confidence.

Economics How do you teach it when even experts disagree

Economics How do you teach it when even experts disagree Economics is an increasingly popular subject for students at AJ Tutoring, both at the high school and college levels. It’s also one of the most interestingâ€"and challengingâ€"to tutor because so little of it is scientifically testable the way chemistry or physics are. President Truman supposedly once asked if he could get an economic adviser with only one hand, so they would stop saying “on the one handbut on the other” Ideas in economics come, but they rarely goâ€"they just sort of pile up on one another! Theories like the Laffer Curve, Taylor Rule, Keynesianism, Monetarism, Behavioral Economics, and the Real Business Cycle all attempt to explain the real patterns we see in the economy or to prescribe a set of policies that will best manage it. However, since we can’t do a randomized test with two different economies to see which theories hold water, the process of coming to which theory is best is a long and winding road. One of the newest theories to gain prominence is Mo dern Monetary Theory, or MMT, a theory which has been discussed in economics circles for a long time but suddenly got thrust into the public eye when New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mentioned it in an interview with Anderson Cooper. Plenty of economists stepped in to explain to the public what MMT means and what the implications are. Brad DeLong, who teaches at UC Berkeley, and Noah Smith, who writes for Bloomberg, have two of the best takes in my opinion. The simple version is this: MMT proponents argue that since the Federal Government can create all the money it wants, there is no real need for taxes to fund programs directly. Instead, the government merely needs to pull enough money back out of the economy in the form of taxes, bond sales, or some other method to prevent inflation from getting too high. Supporters say this gives the government more options to deal with economic situations like the 2008 financial crisis in which the economy is depressed and even v ery low interest rates aren’t producing inflation. Others say that this way of approaching the economy gives members of Congress, rather than the experts at the Federal Reserve, too much power over delicate economic balancing acts.So, do students need to start learning yet another economics term?  Probably not yet, at least not in high school! While there are many economic theories discussed in popular economics textbooks, most AP classes follow the AP Course Description, which is updated only every few years. AJ Tutoring’s academic departments carefully track new changes and make sure that all of our economics tutors and materials align with AP standards. Students can be confident that their tutors will be well prepared to teach them the material most relevant for the test even as new economic ideas gain prominence and old ones are called into question. However, other classesâ€"especially undergraduate coursesâ€"can vary a great deal more! This is where having a one-on-one tut or can be particularly valuable. Every time I meet with a college-level economics student for the first time, I ask for the syllabus and any textbooks being used and make sure I’m following the course carefully. Every professor has his or her own ideas of what models and theories are most important to learn. This reality makes tutoring college economics students a challenge, but it also keeps it interesting as I get to teach from multiple perspectives at varied universities!If you or your student need individualized and expert help with a challenging economics course, please reach out to us today!

Show Students the Real Purpose of Math - ALOHA Mind Math

Show Students the Real Purpose of Math Show Students the Real Purpose of Math 1 Like Show Students the Real Purpose of Math Mathematics is an essential and mandatory part of academic life for students. However, many students are uninformed when it comes to the purposes of math outside of the classroom. Math is not always about constructing angles, drawing transversals or solving for x. Love for math can be kindled consistently only if the school, teachers, parents, and tutors can demonstrate the real-life value of math, which is much more important than memorizing formulas to earn passing grades. Applications of Math in real-life Dont teach mathematical concepts; get students to experiment with them. Ask students to budget or manage a program at school to show them the application of math not only in the confines of a classroom, but also in the real world. Fun with numbers can be brought about by designing creative worksheets and case studies, or creating competitions. At every grade level, you can find relevant and engaging activities that require the math skills being taught so make sure those are implemented. Purposeful math activities are better than text-book problems Repetitive text book problems can dampen students interest in solving problems. Word problems often are hypothetical and rhetorical, and they lose the real-life connections and applications. Use longer form case studies that require many steps and more complex problems to solve. Acting as managers and problem solvers while applying the knowledge they are acquiring will help that material be digested more thoroughly and will increase engagement of the students. Math excellence can create responsible citizens, not just mathematicians Academic success in math is often projected with charming visuals of high paying jobs or lucrative careers behind a computer. What can be transformative is the demonstration of the relevance of the subject in every walk of life and not specific to a professional career. To make a budget for the family, to plan your next vacation, to shop online competitively, you need the power of math. Living within your means and in harmony with natural resources are fundamental to creating good and responsible citizens. Showing how math can help bridge this gap can encourage students to truly understand its importance. By encouraging planning, budgeting and optimization, from elementary school and up, math education builds not only mathematicians but also capable communities. Not every chapter in your math text-book will come of use every day. But the real purpose of learning math is to help you solve real-life problems in a scientific manner. Highlight the need for clarity and decisiveness in students and show them how quantification of real-life purposes strengthens them with more negotiating power. Numbers give them knowledge, empowers them and encourages them to question stereotypical decisions taken with subjectivity.

Parents banned from using mobile phones - Tutor Hunt Blog

Parents banned from using mobile phones Parents banned from using mobile phones because they are ignoring their children Parents banned from using mobile phones because they are ignoring their childrenSchoolsThe majority of schools do not allow mobile phones to be used in class, and there are some schools that demand pupils hand their phones into their form teacher at the start of lessons, with the devices only being returned at break times and the end of the day. France has gone one step further: as of July 2018 it completely banned the use of all mobile phones by pupils on school grounds. Applied all the way from kindergarten to the ninth grade, the ban was put in place after research proved (as if the research was necessary) that phones distract pupils, and impede their learning. A news story caught my eye this week, concerning a school banning phones in the playground. I initially thought this restriction seemed a little harsh - why shouldn`t pupils, enjoying a well earned break from their lessons, be granted the right to a little time on their phones? A second reading showed that I had misunderstood the story - the restricted use of phones in the playground didn`t apply to pupils, but rather to their parents. St Peter`s CE Primary School in Leigh has recently banned all parents from using their phones when collecting their children in the playground. Wendy Cathie, headmistress of the school has instigated the ban, as she had become increasingly concerned with how parents were not engaging with their children at the end of the day. A post she issued publicly on social media explains her feelings: `How many of you are so engrossed in a conversation with your friend or on the phone, that you forget to say to your child `Hi how was your day?` smile warmly at them or give them a hug?` She went onto say that she hoped the banning of mobile phones would contribute to the pupils` mental health, while also strongly encouraging parents to listen to their children at the end of the day. `Please take a moment to listen and talk to your child. The power of talk has a huge impact on our children`s language development,` her public Facebook continued. This story is depressing on so many levels. Why is it that a school is required to discipline parents, to enforce guidelines so that they will not ignore their own children? The end of a school day is so very important for children and parents. A child spends the majority of its time either at home or at school - the end of the school day is where these two words join. Children haven`t have seen their mother or father for five or six hours - what kind of a message does it send if their parents are more interested in looking at their phones than engaging with their child at this moment? `It really pulls at your heartstrings when you see parents on phone calls and pupils are running out to see them,` Ms Cathie went on to say. `Sometimes they don`t even say `hello`, they just walk off.` Philip Pulman, well known author of His Dark Materials, has spoken out many times regarding the insidious nature of mobile phones, saying parents need to ditch their phones and speak more with their children to boost their vocabulary. `It fills me with despair when I see somebody pushing a pushchair along with a child in it and the parents walking along behind them talking into a mobile phone,` the author has said. Mr Pulman`s were made after a study, conducted by the Oxford University Press, found that almost half of all five and six year olds are at serious risk of underperforming academically because they have a severely limited vocabulary. The study went on to disclose that more than four in ten children in their first year of secondary school possess a deficient vocabulary, and were suffering from a `word gap` that was likely to negatively affect their education. 4 months ago0Add a Comment

The Types of Tasks You May Do Working in Retail

The Types of Tasks You May Do Working in Retail via Pixabay You probably already know what a retail associate does in his or her line of work. These types of people are almost everywhere you go shopping. At Wal-Mart, at Target, at Best Buy, at the mall, retail associates are often eager to tell you about the store’s sales or new products, assist in finding items that are more difficult to find, answering questions of regular shoppers and the occasional curious visitors, and ringing up purchases at the register. Like cashiers at grocery stores or convenience stores, people who work in retail help to manage the cash registers and keep track of the money that goes in and goes out. Sometimes, we encounter retail associates throughout the day without even realizing that we’re talking to someone in retail. A good retail associate is extremely knowledgeable about the product or service that is being sold. They also have to have a good deal of patience when dealing with all customers, especially the difficult ones that are bound to come through on any given day. Additionally, a person working in retail must be genuinely friendly, have a cheerful attitude, is a naturally happy person, and have a willingness to go above and beyond for the customer without a lot of prodding to do so. Long hours, busy days, and nights and weekend work are often a normal course of operation in many places of retail. The busiest time for retail stores is often in the fall/winter months and of course on holidays and special occasions throughout the year. For example, 4th of July may be a busy day/weekend, Memorial Day may be the same way, and graduation/back to school season may be busy as well. In short, if you’re not the type of person who is cheerful, helpful, and energetic, retail is probably not the right job for you. If you are this type of person and can see a future in the world of retail, you may be asking what are some of the job positions you can hold? Good question. There are a couple job titles that you can hold and gradually grow into others as time goes on. Most new hires will begin as stockers, cashiers, baggers, or sales associates. These are very important jobs as those in such roles also serve as the face of the company in many regards. Companies have been given a bad rap by customers simply because a cashier was rude or unhelpful. On the other hand, some customers love going to certain places not just because of what they can get but because of the people who provide the service. Then there are middle positions which include team leaders, floor directors, or staff supervisors. Some retail stores even have a lead cashier or someone who unofficially acts as the go-to person, the problem solver, or the one who has earned the respect of his or her peers. In such a role, you will ensure law and order are kept. For example, you’ll make sure other employees sign in and sign out on time, take appropriate breaks, and work well with each other. Then there are managerial roles. A department manager, store manager, branch manager, assistant manager, or chain manager is often responsible for multiple teams and sometimes, multiple locations. People in this position are responsible for onboarding new staff, training current and new staff, establishing goals, making decisions, and ensuring consistent service is given across all stores or chains. A fair amount of skill is needed to work in retail. However, if you have the personality, most places will offer training for what is specific to that store. There are many people who rise through the ranks of retail without an education. This is not permission for you to drop school altogether; school is still important, but you can learn specific aspects of the  business. Those with a bachelor’s degree, or even an associate’s degree, have a better chance of getting managerial roles quicker. Abundant opportunities exist in the world of retail. We are always going to need that extra hand to guide or that person to smile at the door or at the register when we come through after a long day at work or school. Finding a position in retail is a great option for a first job in high school and college. It is also a good choice for those who are interested in selling specific products (e.g., selling electronics at Best Buy or selling clothes at Macy’s). Retail can also be internally rewarding. It presents the opportunity to help people with some aspect of their day. Kindness and helpfulness indeed go a long way in this business. And you’ll enjoy the environment you’re working in much better if you find some real meaning in it, and not just putting in the hours to get a paycheck.
