The Importance of an Hourly Computer Tutor Rate

The Importance of an Hourly Computer Tutor RateIn this article I will try to explain to you why hourly computer tutor rate is extremely important. It is worth considering that if you are going to be spending a large amount of time on the internet you might as well get a decent hourly rate.We all use the internet to do pretty much everything we need to do. This includes looking for jobs, banking, shopping and even using our social media accounts to contact people. Because of the popularity of the internet it is quite possible that you could be wasting some of your valuable time with a tutor who does not have a good rate for their services.Even when you are getting a really good rate, it is worth looking out for some of the other costs that come with using a tutor. Some of the additional fees might include things like international calling rates or even phone credit as well as a travel expenses allowance.I don't know about you but my learning experience just isn't going to work well wh en I'm paying hundreds of dollars for a class. I am a good student and I know how important it is to be able to learn effectively so I cannot afford to put money into that form of investment. I am much better off getting the knowledge that I want on the internet for free.In fact, if you have been thinking about switching to a college or university then I would be very surprised if you did not consider getting a paid study guide or textbook from your chosen institution to help you learn. There are many books available through the library or online, where you can choose the topic that you are interested in learning about. Using a laptop also means that you can study at your own pace so that you do not spend too much time on a specific topic.If you think about it, you are literally increasing your learning time by about 10 times, which is probably more than you are actually spending with a tutor. With the many advantages that you get when you go online and study at your own pace you ca n really cut down on your time spent learning and make it work out cheaper for you.I am sure that you will agree that this is just one of the many benefits that you will get from going online and spending some of your speed online. You might even find that you save money on tuition fees because you can always take up a study course at your local library when you feel like you need a refresher.

How Do You Make a Difference in Your Community - Heart Math Tutoring

How Do You Make a Difference in Your Community - Heart Math Tutoring How Do You Make a Difference in Your Community? How Do You Make a Difference in Your Community? November 13, 2018 Today, UNC Charlotte and TIAA partnered to host the “Making A Difference in the Community” Luncheon to honor Charlotte-area Difference Makers in recognition of TIAA’s centennial anniversary. On this #WorldKindnessDay2018, as we ‘celebrate and promote good deeds’, Executive Director Emily Elliott was among five individuals honored for making a significant difference in the Charlotte community. “It is exciting to see the work of our volunteers and students getting recognized, and I am honored to accept this recognition on their behalf! If you are not yet a Heart tutor, we need you to join the team at hearttutoring.org!” Elliott says. TIAA, one of Heart Tutorings volunteer partners and donors, even took it a step further by asking, “What kind of difference maker are you?” An Advocate, a Connector, or a Giver? Jarian Kerekes, TIAA’s Senior Director of Corporate Social Responsibility and a devoted ambassador of Heart Tutoring, was able to highlight some of the reasons why Elliott and Heart Tutoring were deserving of such an honor. He has also been instrumental in engaging more than 60 TIAA employees to serve as Heart Tutoring volunteers. As an Advocate for local elementary students who have fallen behind in math, a Connector of willing volunteers to deserving students and a Giver of time, talent and resources, Elliott was humbled to accept this recognition on behalf of Heart Tutorings volunteers, students, and partners. She has led Heart Tutoring in its substantial growth from serving 2 CMS elementary schools in the 2013/14 school year to 22 schools in the 2018/19 school year. In addition, over 1,000 volunteers are currently supporting CMS elementary students who have fallen behind in math. UNCC’s partnership with Heart Tutoring, by providing student volunteers from the Cato College of Education, has enabled Heart Tutoring to provide an unprecedented number of volunteers to individual elementary schools. Continued support from the college’s dean, Dr. Ellen McIntyre, has ensured consistent and enthusiastic volunteer participation from 200 education majors to date. Heart Tutoring is also grateful to TIAA for a surprise $3,000 donation announced at today’s luncheon. This donation will help Heart Tutoring to continue its mission of ensuring that all elementary students develop the strong foundation in math and enthusiasm for academics needed for long-term success, by helping schools use volunteers are tutors. Thank you, UNC Charlotte and TIAA, for your continued support of Heart Tutoring and our students!

Five Tips to Prepare for Exams

Five Tips to Prepare for Exams Improving Academic Performance As you move into the end of a semester, the pressure of exams can daunt even the most successful students. It’s a busy time of year in general, and the mounting strain of a large looming test can feel outright agonizing! Fear not. Here is a list of go-to tips to help you be your most prepared and confident self going into those final exams (or any tests, at any time!) Prioritize Prioritize and get your schedule in order. Which final gets first, as they say, dibs? It might be the one that gives you the most stress, your most challenging subject, or perhaps one that holds more weight on your final grade. Whatever the reason, pick an order of how you want to tackle each subject area and test. You might devote five hours to an algebra final and only two to an English one, or perhaps vice versa. Know yourself and set realistic goals for each individual exam. Get organized(click here for more tips from the New Yorker) Gather your materials and get them in a relatively neat and organized folder and space. Do you use tangible materials, like notebooks and flashcards? If so, get them in order. Know where they are. Have all necessary textbooks, novels, printouts, and websites readily available. Are you more techie and have it all compiled on your laptop or tablet? Have a folder on your device for each set of test notes. Pick a study space The area where we choose to study can have a great impact on our ability to concentrate and retain information. Where do you focus and study best? The library? Coffee shop? At home in your room? Pick a space that you know is conducive to concentration and staying on track. Perhaps a study partner helps you, someone to bounce ideas around with or to quiz you, and maybe you do your best alone. As an article from Edutopia states, if you’re introverted, certain personal choices will make learning a whole lot easier. You might need to choose the absolute quiet or invest in some of those noise-cancelling headphones. If you’re more extroverted and like the bustle of a study group, join one or form a crew of your own. Talk to your teacher/professor Got some last minute questions? Need some clarity on a certain formula, theme, or essay question? Don’t be afraid to talk to the teacher. Bounce some of your ideas off of them. Engage in a dialogue about what you learned throughout the semester. Reflect on what you’ve learned and also look ahead. Such conversations not only help clarify your queries, but they can also create a bit more peace of mind around a stressful time. (Just, you know, don’t badger them - they’re stressed, too!) Set goals and rewards Setting small goals for each study period and providing rewards at the end of both small and larger tasks creates motivation and inspiration. If you put in a solid two or three hours working through your science or history notes without huge interruptions to check social media, give yourself a nice reward, like a delicious (nutritious) snack or something indulgent for the weekend like a massage or a little shopping trip. Humans respond very well to the process of achieving something and being rewarded, so do a little experiment on yourself. That snack or massage or shopping item will feel far more satisfying if you’ve sufficiently met a goal. Try it out! And the icing on the cake… If you take good care of yourself and practice these suggestions, things will fall into place, but always remember to put good self-care at the forefront of your overall recipe for success. Remember those things mom used to bug you about, like eating well and getting enough sleep? Well, they work! Stay hydrated and well-fed on nutritious snacks, avoid all-nighters, get some exercise and time outdoors, and perhaps try meditation or breathing exercises in order to keep the cortisol and adrenaline in your body to a healthy minimum. Most of all, have confidence in your ability to be successful. Best of luck, and remember - learning is fun!

Why I Hate Buzzfeed - A Rant on Page-View Journalism

Why I Hate Buzzfeed - A Rant on Page-View Journalism BuzzFeed aka NOT journalism. Photo credit to Flickr user Scott Beale / Laughing Squid Many of us rely on our Facebook feeds for information and news and every week without fail I see at least two or three Buzzfeed articles pop up on Facebook. As a student journalist and as a somewhat intellectual individual, heres all the reasons why I hate Buzzfeed, and why you as a human being with a brain should too. I despise idiotic clickbait. Reading through the headlines and subheaders on the BuzzFeed homepage, I can almost feel my IQ points dropping. 14 Places You Have To Poop At Before You Die. This Supercut Of Animals Yawning Might Kill You With Cuteness. 4 Famous People Amanda Bynes Has Called Ugly. Heres a headline for you, BuzzFeed 14 Reasons Why No One Cares About Your Imbecilic Articles. These are headlines designed to fuel page-view journalism, something we call clickbait. They want you to click on the link so they can waste more of your time and thus get money from their advertisers and sponsors. Sure, any online news org has ads to support the running of their site and paying their staff, but BuzzFeed is designed around this concept instead of being forced to rely on it as many news orgs are. As such, BuzzFeed keeps your attention with idiotic clickbait that serves no edifying aim. Its not journalism, its not purposeful, and its just plain stupid. Wheres the writing? Theres a reason why Im studying Journalism in school writing articles is what I love to do and I want to learn how to become a pro and eventually write for a prestigious news organization, doling out the latest and greatest news in a field I love. Now take those aspirations, flip them around, and you have BuzzFeed. BuzzFeeds so-called articles oftentimes contain little to no writing and are just listicles with cute images. On BuzzFeeds front page currently is an article objectifying Kate Upton Kate Upton Topless On a Horse what more could you ask for? And thats all thats written the headline and subheader, the rest of the article is a video, an image, and a .gif of Kate Upton topless on a horse. Or how about the articles compiled full of 40 Cutest Animal Gifs You Have To See Before You Die which have 40 animal .gifs and no writing?  Sometimes, they even screenshot other sites, such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook, and post those images as stories. I can screenshot Tumblr posts too! Okay, heres a piece with some writing the Top 10 Reasons Atheists Suck by the BuzzFeed founder and CEO himself that is either very poorly done satire or extremely offensive discrimination against a subgroup of people? When did this become accepted as articles? As a journalist, I find it incredibly infuriating that BuzzFeed articles are shared as though theyre so creative when all they are are compilations of other peoples work. As Something Awful writer Jon Hendren told The Daily Dot, Its not writing, and its not journalism, to put 18 GIFs into a list and publish it. Reposting is stealing. As I discussed in my article on Tumblr speak, reposting, or using someone elses images as your own new post just so you get the credit, is considered a very bad move. This is also exactly what BuzzFeed does with all of its multimedia articles that use compilations of clever, cute and funny .gifs and .jpegs to tell their stories. Sure, they might credit the original poster in small 8-point print below each image, but reposting without first attaining permission is still stealing. No, its not flattering to use someone elses photos or artwork or .gifs (contrary to the novice belief, .gifs are really hard to make and stealing them is extremely insulting), its stealing. As we all know, stealing has real-world implications, as proven in an ongoing  lawsuit with a professional photographer suing BuzzFeed for 3.6 million over copyright infringement. Fact-checking, what fact-checking? Journalists should read the fine print and check all their facts before publishing stories. Photo by Flickr user crabchick. Anyone can post to BuzzFeed; what keeps BuzzFeed thriving in fact is this feature. Anybody with an inflated ego and some understanding of how the right-click-save-as-repost features work can contribute to BuzzFeed. What really irks me about this is that there seems to be no fact-checking on those few pieces that actually have words in them. What is fact-checking? Its only the most important part about being a journalist. Its making sure that all your statements in stories are accurate and true, because there are readers out there who are dependent on your information and misleading them in the position of a journalist can lead to serious consequences. Cue this BuzzFeed post which accuses Matthew Inman, creator of popular webcomic The Oatmeal, of a great many things on circumstantial or no evidence, all of which Inman then shot down on his site. A+ example of sensationalist, poorly-researched defamatory journalism. All in all, those are several reasons why I hate BuzzFeed and grit my teeth as I scroll past every article of photos claiming to restore your faith in humanity wildly shared by my friends as though it were the best thing since sliced bread. How do you feel about BuzzFeed and page-view journalism? Let us know in the comments below.

Our company structure is based around the idea that input from the foreign staff, and their initiative in the classroom is the foundation of a successful business. Our new school opened recently, and we need new teachers to come and join our educational family. Currently we have 8 foreign teachers from the UK, US, and Canada; many of them have been working with us for many years. Joining Sunflower is to become a part of our foreigner family away from home.
