How to Prepare For the Honors Chemistry Test

How to Prepare For the Honors Chemistry TestA good way to prepare for the honors chemistry test is to get the help of a mentor. You can't expect to get an all important grade without help. You can usually find a number of mentors, both at the school you're applying to and online. This will give you the advantage of having someone who knows exactly what to say to different test takers.The test will cover many different concepts and topics. It may cover things that you have only heard of or has never actually thought about. This is why it's essential to seek out a tutor who is familiar with the material, but also someone who will be sympathetic to your needs of the course.When you choose a tutor, make sure they know your schedule, what you want to do and how much time you have for studying. They should have a very clear idea of what you want them to do and be able to provide the advice that you need to get through the test. Many of these tutors have undergone the same type of testing t hat you have.If they haven't, then make sure they take a recent past year test and show it to you. Don't let anyone try to sell you something that you haven't even heard of before. You need to trust the people who are going to give you the test.The one thing you need to remember is that the test isn't designed to be easy. The goal is to give you a sense of accomplishment and this can only come from someone else knowing what you are going through and helping you succeed. Taking tests like this can be difficult so do not allow any third parties to put you under pressure.Take an honors physical therapy course and use your experience in the classroom to prepare you for the test. A good guide will also tell you how to use your test answers correctly. This will help you get better grades in your classes.Your counselor should have your test report before they hand it over to the student who is going to take it. After all, you never know when they are going to pass or fail. This will help y ou take it more seriously than if you had no idea what the question was about.

Teaching in the Middle East with your family Kuwait vs Dubai (With job postings)

Teaching in the Middle East with your family Kuwait vs Dubai (With job postings) While many teachers dream of living abroad, they can often feel scared to make such a big life change. That change can feel even more daunting when you’re relocating with your family. Despite the potential hurdles you might encounter on the way, though, there are so many great reasons to raise your family abroad. The benefits of moving overseas with your family Teaching abroad is a life-changing opportunity for your whole family to witness the world from a culture that differs from your own. Your children will get access to a diverse and unique education, becoming truly global citizens and developing a stronger understanding of other cultures and backgrounds in the process. Plus, it’s a great chance for them to experience more of the world and even learn a new language! Kicking off your research Anyone with parental responsibilities will know that, regardless of where you choose to live in the world, there are a number of issues relating to the needs of your family that have to be taken into careful consideration. The quality and cost of living, especially, are important things you need to think about when living and teaching abroad with children. So, if you’re thinking of taking the plunge and teaching abroad with your family, your next step should be to undertake some in-depth research into the most family-friendly teach abroad destinations out there. As you’re googling, more often than not, you’ll probably see the Middle East topping most lists, if not all, as the most attractive location for experienced educators with families. This is, in large part, due to the tax-free salary and sweet parental perks like free tuition. The best country in the Middle East for teachers with families While many teaching families do end up living in or near cities in the UAE, like Dubai or Abu Dhabi, it's still well worth investigating other countries in the Middle East you may have otherwise overlooked in your search. Especially Kuwait - one of the most family-friendly teach abroad destinations in the world. Right now, Teach Away is recruiting experienced educators for a wide range of teaching jobs at the American United School of Kuwait (all of which offer unbeatable family perks): Math teachers Science teachers English teachers Kindergarten teachers Elementary teachers Elementary counselor ELA teacher ICT teachers High school PE teachers Librarian/Information Specialist AP economics teacher AP environmental science teacher AP geography teacher AP English teacher Despite their close proximity, Kuwait and Dubai offer very different things to teachers looking to raise children abroad. Here’s why Kuwait might be a better fit for you and your family: 1. Teaching salaries in Kuwait are higher. This isn’t to say that teaching salaries in Dubai aren’t also sought after (they are). But the vastly higher cost of living in Dubai is bound to eat into a fairly large portion of your take-home pay. Especially given the fact that you won’t be on the hook for housing or tuition, your saving potential will be much higher in Kuwait. Depending on your teaching experience and subject, teaching salaries at Kuwait international schools, such as the American United School of Kuwait and American Creativity Academy Kuwait range from about $2,500 - 4,800 USD monthly, tax-free. Which leads us to our next point: 2. The cost of living in Kuwait is lower than Dubai. Compared with Dubai, Kuwait is far more affordable for families. While Dubai offers an incredible lifestyle, it comes at a high cost. In fact, Dubai was recently ranked the eighth-most-expensive city to live in the world. Although not necessarily a hard-and-fast rule, we often find that fast-paced Dubai is a better fit for single teachers or child-free teaching couples, rather than families. Want to find out your earning potential teaching anywhere in the world? Get a decent idea of what you can expect with the help of our free teach abroad salary calculator! 3. The lifestyle in Kuwait is more kid-friendly. Overall, the lifestyle in Kuwait is more laid back and less hectic than the bustle of Dubai. The climate and outdoors activities offered by both Kuwait and Dubai are quite similar - there’s plenty of sunshine and easy access to beaches in both locations. However, Kuwait has much lower humidity levels, making it more comfortable to play outside for young children year round. The traffic in Dubai - especially during rush hour - is chaotic. This can be a rough transition if your children are used to a quieter pace of life. Also, although Dhabi is justifiably world famous for its luxurious restaurants, the local cuisine in Kuwait is, in a word, sensational. There are also plenty of grocery stores selling important western foods that aren’t ridiculously overpriced - thanks to the fact that there are also no taxes in Kuwait. 4. The quality of education is exceptional in Kuwait - and tuition is free. Finding the right school for your children to attend won’t be much of a struggle in Kuwait. Over 60% of the population is made up of expats and it’s home to a thriving international community. When it comes to education options for your family, Kuwait definitely clinches the top spot. With programs like the American United School of Kuwait covering tuition for successful candidates with children, you can take your pick of over 90 international schools in the region, offering a range of curricula including UK, US and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses of study.

Accommodation in Kuwait is more suited to families. Unless you want to live further outside of the city, expect sky-high rental and property prices in Dubai. If you’re looking for a living space with a garden for your children to play in, Kuwait is your best bet. 6. Kuwait is a great base to explore the world. Are you a family of aspiring globetrotters? One of the biggest benefits of teaching abroad is all the time you’ll have to travel as a family - thanks to the ample vacation time. Not only is Kuwait a wonderful place to raise kids - it's also a great base to travel the world from. It happens to be conveniently located smack bang in the middle of the other major Middle Eastern and South Asian countries. Kuwait offers lots of direct flights to cities in Europe, the Middle East and Asia - even Australia and New Zealand! So there you have it, folks - just a few of the reasons why Kuwait is the best country for teaching families to move to in the Middle East! If you’re thinking about taking the leap and moving abroad to teach with your kids, don’t forget that doing your research and preparing as much as possible will ensure a smooth move and help you and your family settle into your new life in no time at all. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Going Off to College Setting Up a Budget - TutorNerds

Going Off to College Setting Up a Budget - TutorNerds How to Set Up a Budget for Going Off to College Many recent high school graduates are getting ready to go off to their first year of college. In addition to the academic and social transition students will face, they will also need to start managing their money. This will be a big difference for kids who primarily had their money managed for them by their parents during high school. Some students may have had a part-time job where they began to learn the value of a dollar and how much things cost as compared to how easy or difficult it is to earn that money. Either way, its important for college kids to set up a budget so they can manage living expenses, additional university fees, and student loans. 1. Personal Banker Most college students don’t speak with a personal banker, but theres no reason why they shouldnt. Almost every bank will offer personal banking services, and some bankers specialize in student bank accounts. In some cases, full-time students will be able to avoid certain fees that other customers have to pay or may be able to get a minor line of credit even though they dont currently have a credit history. Whether students speak to someone at the bank on campus or open an account with a nationwide bank or credit union, its a good idea for them to sit down and have a discussion about how to budget, where they can save money, and how to avoid having a large credit bill. 2. Living Expenses Its a significant change when students move out of their parent’s house and into a college dorm or student apartment. Most young adults won’t realize the extent of the different bills they have to pay. For instance, in addition to dorm or apartment fees, students will have to pay utilities, buy groceries, and pay for things like new clothes and shoes, and other non-academic expenses. Its essential for students to inquire whether or not utilities and Wi-Fi access are available as part of their rent (as would be common in a dorm) or if they need to pay it separately (as would be common in an apartment). Students can sit down with their parents and make a list of each item and how much they think it will cost so they can set a basic budget (READ: 5 Things to do Before You Go Off to College). 3. Pocket Money Most students want to have a fair amount of pocket money because having a little bit of extra cash can make the university experience a lot more fun. For instance, students will need money to go out for coffee or to the movies with a new friend, go on a vacation during a break, or just have a little extra to spend on the weekend. However, many students dont know how much things cost and where they can get the best deal. Although many adults budget their extra cash by the month, its a good idea for college freshmen to set out their budget for the week until they see how much they spend and on what. 4. A Part Time Job Vs. a Savings Account Another thing students should think about is whether they will be living off a savings account or working at a part-time job during the year. New college students find it extra challenging to work and study during the semester, but many students will rely on that cash to survive. Other students may be able to work full-time during the summer and winter break periods and put that money into a savings account to live on during the rest of the term. If students are working a part-time job, its essential that they calculate the amount of tax that will be taken out (probably 10%) before they make their budget. 5. Comparing Prices One thing that can be helpful is for students to start learning how to compare prices. For example, buying coffee at a coffee house vs. making coffee in the dorm might be a difference of $50 at the end of the month. At student wages, it could easily take an entire day to make 50 bucks. Some price comparisons will be relatively small while others will be much larger, such as student loan interest payments that will commence upon graduation or living expenses. When students learn how to compare prices appropriately and make the most frugal choice they’ll be more likely to be able to start managing a budget on their own (READ: 10 Reasons You Need a Summer Tutor).

Do Celebrity Endorsements Help Win Elections

Do Celebrity Endorsements Help Win Elections Photo courtesy of Scripps Howard Foundation Wire To no surprise, the majority of Hollywood supports our current administration. George Clooney, Eva Longoria, Ellen DeGeneres, and Tom Hanks have already met the maximum donation to the President’s campaign, and they are just a few to mention. But, celebrities such as Clint Eastwood, and Donald Trump are strong supporters of Governor Mitt Romney and have also donated to the governor’s campaign. Once the celebrity reaches this maximum donation, they usually take to their social media accounts to endorse the candidate. Donald Trump is notorious for doing such things. Trump makes it clear he does not agree with President Obama’s policies and reaches out to all of his 1.7 million followers. In some cases however, celebrities can hinder a candidates chance at winning an election. In 2000, Cher was at an Al Gore event advocating views about the Middle East that did not coincide with Al Gore’s views. Eva Longoria caused an uproar amongst countless women when she re-tweeted the message: I have no idea why any woman/minority can vote for Romney. You have to be stupid to vote for such a racist/misogynistic tw-t. Although celebrities do not win a candidate an election, they definitely influence it. For example, everyday over 1.7 million people see what Donald Trump tweets. Sometimes these tweets spark great conversations, conversations a person wouldn’t be having if the subject had not been breached. In America, we are obsessed with Hollywood. We know where celebrities live, who theyre married to, and their favorite things to do on the weekend. So why wouldn’t people want to know who their favorite celebrity is voting for? Knowing this may not sway one person to vote one way or another, but it certainly could validate who they are voting for.

Virtual English Classes - Tools to Make Learning Possible

Virtual English Classes - Tools to Make Learning PossibleAs virtual classrooms and virtual schools become more popular, we are seeing more schools being established with virtual English classes. The idea is to provide students with the experience of being at a traditional school, but without the costs or the time commitment of going to school every day. Virtual classes and schools give you the same benefits as regular classes do while providing some of the same challenges that a regular classroom has to face.One thing you can do is build up a system where teachers who teach at the class can hire teaching assistants who will be able to work part-time as well. This way you can have the convenience of having a regular teaching staff in place, but they don't have to stay in one place for very long. You also don't have to worry about any of the additional expenses that go along with a full time teaching staff.The one other thing that you can do is offer a virtual class in your own home th at will be tailored to cater to what you are looking for in an English class. For example, you can set it up to offer a lesson based on story time, or you can offer an hour or two every evening for a fun activity. This type of service is often best suited for people who don't have much experience with teaching, but who want to get started with teaching English in their home.You can also offer online teaching in an effort to give those people who are already familiar with English the opportunity to get more experience with English. This can be a great way to give them the confidence to move from teaching someone at a university to teaching someone in a private home. If you offer the online course online and have them work from home you can be sure that they can offer it to as many people as possible, and that they can reach everyone that needs this type of service.Another way to make the most of virtual learning is to add a virtual chatroom to your online lessons. This way you can ta lk to the students in their own language while working with them on the computer. This way you can really immerse yourself into what is going on with the students, and really get to know them.Web-based learning is just one of the things that you can do with virtual English teaching services. You can also use a Webcam to bring the students into the classroom. This gives you a better opportunity to get down to business with the students and give them some homework assistance while you get your lesson underway.These are just a few of the options that you have to keep your classroom and virtual English learning courses effective. Don't feel like you have to limit yourself to a certain type of curriculum in order to keep your students satisfied and coming back for more.

Area of Circle Worksheet - Math Online Tutoring

Area of Circle Worksheet - Math Online Tutoring A circle is a geometric figure which is formed when a curve completes a rotation and where the starting andthe ending points of the curve meet together. A circle is a geometric shape which has no vertices like anyother geometric shape. Area of a circle is the portion covered inside the circle bounded by its curve. Example 1: Calculate the area of the circle if the diameter of the circle is 14m. Given diameter of the circle, d = 14m In a circle, diameter is the line passing from one point to another point on the curve and passing through thecenter of the circle. Radius of the circle is the line joining from the center of the circle to any other point on the curve of the circle. Hence radius, r = diameter/2 = 14m/2 = 7m Area of the circle formula, A = * (radius)2 Hence A = (3.14) * (7m)2 = 153.86m2 Area of the given circle, A = 153.86m2 Example 2: Calculate the area of the circle if the diameter of the circle is 20m. Given diameter of the circle, d = 20m Radius of the circle is the line joining from the center of the circle to any other point on the curve of the circle. Hence radius, r = diameter/2 = 20m/2 = 10m Area of the circle formula, A = * (radius)2 Hence A = (3.14) * (10m) 2 = 314m2 Area of the given circle, A = 314m2

The English language has a number of different versions across all the continents where it’s spoken and all the countries that speak it as an official language.English is the official language of 54 sovereign states and is spoken by over 300 million people as their first language.
