How to Use a Computer Tutor Online

How to Use a Computer Tutor OnlineMany students need to use a computer tutor online to help them with their homework. To be able to do this, the student must be a US citizen. The tutor can ask the student for their name and state of residence. This will allow the tutor to make sure that the student is indeed studying in their own country and is not just taking credit for being from another country.Once the student has agreed to the tutoring, the tutor will find out if the student lives in the US or if they are traveling overseas. They will also want to know how many students have taken the class. There will also be a question about which website the student is taking their classes from. To get this information, the tutor will need the student's email address. The tutor can also find out if the student is taking other online classes.The tutor will find out if the student has a good grade in their math class or not. Sometimes students who are not very good at math will take the math cl ass online, but the tutor can also check to see if the student is in the correct class. After all, if they were not in the correct class, it is impossible for them to do their assignments.If the student did not like to do his or her homework because it took too long or the tutor would not be giving them enough time online, the tutor will tell the student why the online tutor was unable to assist them. Also, if the student really wants to go back to doing their homework in person, the tutor will let the student know that it would cost extra money to do their homework in person.Finally, the tutor will give the student the assignment they need to complete. The student will also find out where the online tutor took them from. This helps the student choose the right online tutor for their own requirements.The student will have to sit down and sign up with the tutor. Then, the student will enter their name and email address. A tutor will then call the student's house or to the student's h ome and meet the student for an individual session.After the session, the tutor will present a test to the student to let them know whether they would like to continue the tutoring. Some tutors may require extra homework, while others may just give the student a small assignment.

7 Steps to Get You Ready for the Big Move

7 Steps to Get You Ready for the Big Move You’re about to move and are a little overwhelmed? We’re in the same boat. I’m about to move abroad and should really be an expert by now. After all, I’ve moved ten times over the past seven years. These are the steps I’m taking to get ready:1.  Make a To-Do ListMaking a To-Do list is fairly easy, but the trick is keeping it to one list, rather than many, and actually working it off. As I’m falling asleep or walking home from work I think of a thousand things I need to get done before leaving. On a good day I actually jot it all down, only to end up with ten crumpled post-it notes that then end up in the dryer. Not so great. So my tip: Have one list and keep it close by!2.  Plan aheadIf I’m leaving on Saturday morning, I should be packed by Friday night. I’m busy all week, so I’ll get the laundry done on… ahm… I could really use a house elf right now. Take a good look at your To-Do list and plan ahead. It can save you a lot of last-minute stress if you do it rig ht.3.  Stick with your plan!A plan is only worthwhile if you stick with it. But the reality is that seeing your friends one last time is more important than arriving with ironed clothes and batteries for your life-saving electronic translator. So when I say “stick with your plan!” I actually mean, “Good luck! I hope it works out for you, but in the last seven years this part hasn’t worked out for me so well.”4.  Freak outHow did sticking with the plan work out for you? It obviously didn’t for me. It’s Thursday night, the laundry isn’t done, the To-Do list is long enough to cover the entire staircase, and time is running out. It’s time to freak out a little. You’re moving halfway around the world; it’s ok to be a little overwhelmed. If you’re too calm and collected, your friends may think you’re more of a robot than a person.5.  Toss it all inStill not packed? Here’s your chance! I ended up tossing it all in, sitting on the lid, and forgot to keep the weig ht limit in mind. If you can’t lift it, it’s probably too heavy. If you previously made a packing list, now would be a good time to take a look around the room and squeeze everything in that you previously missed. (I still haven’t managed to cross the ‘Make a Packing List’ entry off my To-Do List)6.  Pretend it was the plan all alongThis is the point where you can show off your theatrical skills â€" convince your friends and family that you enjoy the thrill of doing it all at the last minute. In the end, it always works out. As long as you have your passport and visa, don’t sweat too much about all the things you could or may have forgotten.7. EnjoyEnjoy the trip and be grateful for all experiences, even the ones you struggle with at the time. I can’t say it better than Eleanor Roosevelt: “The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”Here’s to your adventur e, to the experience of a lifetime! I’m off to Mexico, what about you?Dorothee Rembold is an intern at Teach Away Inc.

Kumon Student Competes on the Food Networks 6th Season of Kids Baking Championship

Kumon Student Competes on the Food Networks 6th Season of Kids Baking Championship Kumon Student Competes on the Food Networks 6th Season of Kids Baking Championship “No matter what the recipe, any baker can do wonders in the kitchen with some good ingredients and an upbeat attitude!” -Buddy Valastro, Owner of Carlo’s Bakery For 13-year-old Davis, baking became more than just whipping up the occasional cake for his family, or a batch of cookies for the school bake sale. He was first introduced to baking by his beloved grandmother, when he would sit on the counter as a toddler watching her bake and assist with mixing. As Davis got older, he was able to not only replicate classic favorites, but also to whip up new creations with the use of unique ingredients. “My signature recipe is shortbread,” said Davis. “My grandma is the master of baking shortbread, and she was the one who taught me how to bake it. It’s my favorite because it’s buttery, flakey, and not too sweet. It smells and reminds me of Christmas.” Baking has become an art-form and a way of life for him, so much so that he was selected to star on the sixth season of Food Network’s Kids Baking Championship.                                       Kids Baking Championship seeks the most talented kids in the kitchen, ages 10-13. They are then given a chance to compete for the title of Kids Baking Champion. Putting their skills to the test, contestants are tasked with unique baking challenges like baking with a savory ingredient such as bacon, or even macarons decorated with faces. Judges Duff Goldman and Valerie Bertinelli have been impressed by Davis’ concoctions that are not only visually appealing but are packed with flavor. His stand-out pieces in the competition have been delicate macarons with a key lime and raspberry filling as well as a gourmet lavender macaron. As Davis likes to say, “anything is better with chocolate,” which showed on his brownie challenge. For the judges, he created a double layer walnut and chocolate chip brownie with a smooth walnut cream cheese frosting. He then topped his creation off with a decadent chocolate ganache, which complimented the brownie cake beautifully as it was shaped into a monarch butterfly. We can’t wait to see what other scrumptious desserts Davis creates as he continues in the competition. For new episodes of Food Network’s Kids Baking Championship, tune-in on Mondays at 9pm ET/PT.

Why do I need a tutor and Other Common Questions for First Time Tutoring

“Why do I need a tutor” and Other Common Questions for First Time Tutoring Students or parents of students getting a tutor for the first time can have a lot of questions starting out, and often have a lot of misinformation. I thought I would write a quick blog post to clear up these questions, and give the parents some information when discussing getting a tutor with their student. “Why do I need a tutor?”Many students who are getting tutoring for the first time can feel discouraged and unsupported, but it is important to understand that getting tutoring is a privilege, and it can make a real difference. The most common reasons a parent might search for a tutor might be:? Lacking understanding. Everyone needs help once and a while, and not everyone can be good at every subject. Sometimes a student will reach a unit in a class, and they are just at a loss and don’t understand it. It is better to get help when you need it, than to continue being confused in the class.? Grades are slipping. Sometimes we get overwhelmed with all of our obligations outside of classes. Perhaps you play a sport and have practice every day, or you do volunteer work, or have a part-time job. It can be hard to manage keeping your grades up with all of these other responsibilities.? Lacking confidence. For some reason, you are doing fairly well in a course, but you just aren’t showing confidence your work. Perhaps you are unsure of each question you answer, and feel you are more guessing than answering. If this is the case, it’s a good idea to get a tutor to evaluate what you do know and reassure you that you are understanding the material correctly.? Lacking motivation. Perhaps you haven’t been turning in homework assignments, or you just aren’t paying much attention to your schoolwork in general. Not wanting to fill out workbooks or packets is understandable. They can be boring and annoying working through them on your own, but a tutor might be able to make the topic more interesting for you and help you find ways to remember interesting facts. If you find a tutor who is excited about the subject, often they can make the experience pretty enjoyable.? Learning disability.Traditional teaching methods don’t always work for those with learning disabilities, which means traditional lectures won’t teach you much. A one-on-one session with a tutor can give you a more personalized learning experience, where they play to your strengths so you can learn by the best methods possible. “What type of students get Tutors?” Debunking the mythsThis is a question I come across quite frequently, especially with students getting a tutor for the first time. For some reason, many young students have it in their head that if they are getting a tutor it must mean they are ‘stupid’. I have heard the sentence “Only dumb kids get tutoring” much too many times, and it is something that makes me sad to hear. The truth is, the majority of students who get tutors tend to have a few key qualities:? They are generally very good students. They make above-average grades, and are very smart. They complete most of their homework assignments, and tend to put a good amount of effort into their classes. Even more so, these students tend to care about what grades they make, and tend to work harder when they don’t feel they are doing well.? They have parents and/or instructors who are very involved and invested in their education. The parents who put an emphasis on their students’ education are more likely to get their students a tutor. Similarly a teacher who is engaged with their classes will notice when a student is struggling. They are familiar with the student’s work? They are college-bound. Most students who end up getting tutoring are planning on furthering their education after high school. I can say that 95% of my clients are already planning on college, and it is listed on one of their main reasons for getting a tutor. “Why do most students get tutoring?”1. Their grades are dropping. Whether it be missing school due to illness, extracurriculars taking away focus from a class, or if a subject is just particularly difficult, the student’s grade is showing an unusual trend. Perhaps they just “bombed” a test when they felt they had done well.2. They don’t feel as confident as they want to in the material. For certain students, there is a disconnect for them with a certain subject. Perhaps they excel in History and English, but they can’t grasp concepts as easily in Algebra class. Getting a tutor can often help close this gap in understanding, and give the student tools to use in later courses.3. Test Anxiety - They get overwhelmed with tests. Reviewing for any class is not easy for everyone. Study skills come to everyone differently, and they are a learned skill. For some with test anxiety, it is much more difficult to decide how and what to study when it comes to tests. Students today have more pressure on them to perform than ever before, and this is usually more of a hindrance than an advantage. Not every student can perform well under pressure, and with so many teachers having strict retesting policies, it is no wonder this pressure can get to a student’s head.4. They are trying to get into college. Many students will realized they want to go to a certain school in their junior or senior year, and will want to bring their grades up in order to have better chances of acceptance.5. They are about to leave for college. Colleges expect a certain standard for their students, even after they have been accepted to the university. Most colleges’ acceptance letters have a clause requiring students to keep up their grades through graduation, so a student can't let their grades fall at the last minute and put scholarships in jeopardy.6. They have just started college. Moving away from one’s family and having all these responsibilities can be overwhelming for some students. They have to find a balance between a social life and school, and for the first time they make all the decisions regarding how they spend their time. As well, college is very different from high school, and some students need to learn how to study all over again, because their old habits are no longer working for them. A big life change like going to college is a lot to get used to, and getting tutoring can help lessen the load and reduce stress.7. Standardized testing. ACT and SAT scores are a huge factors when applying to your dream school. The tests are not designed to see how much you know, but how well you can test. Therefore, the most important thing is learning strategies on how to approach these tests from people who have a lot of experience with them.8. The dreaded Finals. Whoever decided there should be huge comprehensive exams in the same week clearly doesn’t stress easily. Meanwhile, many student can get overwhelmed when it comes time for finals. Not only do you have four or five tests in one week, but you also are required to remember all the material that you have covered for the entire year! Many students get tutors to help them review the older material they might be rusty on, and get help completing their review packets. In this way, they can get any questions they have answered and be able to study with ease. ”How do I know which tutor is right for my student?”The truth is, you will never know if a tutor is the right fit until you hire them and try them out, but I have a few tips for narrowing down the list:1. A tutor who is knowledgeable/experienced in teaching the subject. Some subjects are harder to teach than others, and just because they understand it well doesn’t mean they can teach it well. If they have experience tutoring the subject before, then they will have a better understanding of what tools they can teach your student to give the best help possible. 2. A tutor who is friendly. It seems like a silly thing to say, but someone who makes your student feel comfortable, and who they can feel safe asking questions to, will make a huge difference in not only how well, but also how quickly they improve. 3. A tutor who is highly-recommended. A tutor with the best grades is not always the best choice. In fact, many tutors are better at it for having struggled at some time in school. For this reason, worrying about which tutor is the best Math student is not the best way to go, but the one who really gets the material across to the student is the path you should choose.So for any parents out there who are struggling with deciding to get your student a tutor, go for it! If your student feels discouraged because they feel it means they are stupid, explain to them that only the best students get tutors when they are struggling. Students getting a tutor for the first time may feel self-conscious about it.This is one reason, among many other reasons which I have discussed in other blogs, that I use a positive tutoring approach with my students. Students should be taught to focus on what they do understand rather than what they don’t. This is also the psychological reasoning behind “partial-credit” testsâ€"you are given credit for using the knowledge you do have instead of being penalized for not knowing everything.It takes a lot of courage for a student to admit they may need help, so you should explain to him or her that you are proud of them for taking that step. They may be nervous for their first session, not knowing what to expect, but great tutors will really make them feel comfortable and enthusiastic about the process. It doesn't take long for students to relax and really appreciate the extra help a tutor can provide.

Chemistry Nuclear Packet

Chemistry Nuclear PacketIn the business world, the nuclear packet is a relatively new type of document. It is generally used by companies as a means of business negotiations. The packet is a collection of documents that have been pre-printed with the type of negotiation that has been made, as well as with any necessary information that has been agreed upon. The entire package is designed to eliminate the need for all the individual files from one document to another.It is possible to purchase nuclear packets of all sizes, in formats, and from any number of providers, depending on how many people need the negotiation. Most suppliers have packaging designed to hold the packets themselves, while others will use metal caps or have envelopes that are sealed with tapes. Regardless of the way it is packaged, the material that holds the packet still serves the same purpose: to protect the other materials, which are stored in the nuclear packet.Before the technology was available to carry out the design, there were some issues that needed to be resolved when creating a nuclear packet. One of the issues was the question of how to properly place all the items, which are in the packet, in the right order. As such, the very first nuclear packets did not include the power list or other important data.Since the advent of computerized technology, however, it has become possible to have nuclear packets that do not require the power list or other materials, and which can even include the dates of meetings. Some suppliers now offer nuclear packets that include all the necessary items needed for the negotiation, the process map, any other materials that may be needed, and the pre-printed schedule. This allows the user to pick the date of the meeting, which will likely be within three to four days.Another issue that may come up in the course of the negotiations is the content of the nuclear packet. A user may need to consult a writer, as the items in the packet may not necessarily match up with the other people involved. At times, this may be very important, especially if there are people in the group who are not members of the negotiating team.However, in most cases, it is not necessary to have every item included in a nuclear packet. Most suppliers provide readers, which will ensure that all items are addressed in the packet. This does mean that the reader can fail, or that a negotiation may not go off as expected.No matter how it is delivered, a nuclear packet is very efficient means of communication between all those who are involved in the negotiation. It can also save money for everyone involved. Because of the efficiency of the packets, in most cases the cost of sending a document over the internet is considerably less than using conventional methods of sending a traditional packet, such as letters.

What Does Di Mean in Chemistry?

What Does Di Mean in Chemistry?What does di mean in chemistry? Well, it's a very simple question but one that can be easily answered. All dihydrogen phosphate, or DHP, is D and H together. You may remember from your chemistry classes that hydroxylamine is a compound of two hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl group.D and H together are H and D combined. There are many different ways to do this, and in fact the product of hydroxylamine is hydroxyproline. Hydroxyproline is a smaller molecule than hydroxylamine. Both molecules have four carbon atoms, and a small amount of nitrogen. So we can probably add H to D to get hydroxyamino, which is hydroxyproline.In your chemistry class you should remember that dihydrogen phosphate is simply hydroxyamino. That means that it can be written as D-hydroxyamino or D-H-D, depending on how it is spelled.Most types of proteins contain D and H in the same molecule, so that means that the protein must be broken down into these two compounds before it can be u sed as an enzyme enzymes. Your enzyme enzymes use an enzyme called alkaline phosphatase to break down D and H. It may be possible for the enzymes to work faster if you increase the concentration of these two nutrients.The one thing that is missing from the diagram above is the C. That's because when we talk about phosphate we don't need to talk about salt. However, salt does play a part in acid-forming reactions.Acid-forming reactions, also known as enzymes, are reactions that require the presence of acidic substances. Some examples of such substances are acidic amino acids, which are present in proteins and bacteria. The acid is then converted into a base by way of an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase.The main source of dihydrogen phosphate is egg white. Unfortunately, most of the time people eat the white part of the egg and not the yolk. The reason why most people have more dihydrogen phosphate in their bodies is because of the bacteria that live in their intestines.
