A tutors guide to choosing the right school for your child

A tutor's guide to choosing the right school for your child For students and parents, it can often be a stressful experience choosing which school to go to, especially when in some cases there can be many to choose from.   Here, Vishal N, one of our 11+ tutors with several years of experience, gives his top three factors to consider when choosing a school. Choosing the right school 1. Location, location, location! This is often the most neglected factor when it comes to choosing the right school. If you live in Harrow and decide to apply for Whitgift (London), you are looking at a travel time of a minimum of 1 hour and 15 minutes â€" and this doesn’t even take into account any traffic. Not only can this be a stressful journey for parents, but can often take its toll on the child who arrives at school fatigued and not in the mood to learn. 2. Whether or not your child can cope with the pressure As we all know, not all children are the same! Just as some children prefer football over music, some children can work well with pressure from teachers and constant mini-tests on a weekly basis, whilst others may begin to dislike school and everything associated with it. Therefore, knowing whether your child enjoys dealing with pressure and always having to be compete academically with his/her peers is imperative when choosing the right school. Some schools are certainly more academically challenging than others. 3. The atmosphere and how you feel whilst visiting the school One of the most important things is to visit the school on open days. This is a fantastic opportunity to not only meet the teachers and ask questions, but it also allows your child to soak in the atmosphere and helps them imagine how they would feel studying in the school for the foreseeable future. Vishal is one of our experienced 7+, 10+, 11+, 13+, 16+, Common Entrance, Admissions and GCSE tutors. He covers Maths, English and Science and has helped many students prepare for competitive entrance exams at a range of schools.

How to find a job teaching English abroad while youre still in college

How to find a job teaching English abroad while you’re still in college If you’ve spent any time looking through ESL job boards you’ll have seen that there is literally a world of opportunity for English teachers with degrees. But, what about wannabe ESL teachers who are still studying, or are just about to head off on a gap year? Can you teach English abroad before you graduate? Well, yes, you can! Personally and professionally, teaching abroad can be a great opportunity for undergraduates. Opportunities are so varied that you can easily fit teaching English into a gap year, summer break or while you're deciding which degree you want to do. In and outside the classroom, you’ll gain valuable skills that will come in handy whatever career you choose to pursue in the future. Maybe you want to get to know a new culture. Or you're looking to add something impressive to your resume. Perhaps you want to try your hand at teaching. Or you simply want to spread your wings and set off on an adventure. Whatever your reasons for wanting to work and live abroad, teaching English before you graduate could be just the job you’re looking for! Read this:No degree? 5 places to consider teaching English abroad so you can see the world this year I don’t need a degree, great! So, what are the requirements for teaching English abroad? There’s no one answer to this question. Although not having a degree yet may reduce your options a little, there are still teaching opportunities open to you all over the world. None of the following suggestions are always required, but they might put you ahead of the pack when applying: Being a native English speaker. This quality is what makes companies seek you out from all the way overseas. They need you, and your expert knowledge of English. Getting TEFL certified. You don’t need a degree to get a TEFL certification, and, as TEFL qualifications last for life, getting one before you graduate could be a worthwhile investment. Most online TEFL courses are self-paced, making it relatively easy to slot the coursework into your current study schedule. Getting some teaching experience. Taking the time to help out at a local community centre or school will help you figure out whether you actually like teaching, and could give employers and extra incentive to pick you over anyone else. If you’re ready to throw yourself in at the deep end and lead a class yourself, there are also online English teaching companies that hire English teachers studying for their degree, with and without teaching experience. So, now you’re ready to roll! Yes, you can teach abroad before you graduate! Here’s how. Let’s take a look at the different teaching opportunities out there if you want to start teaching abroad before you graduate: 1. Apply for volunteer teaching abroad programs. The easiest way to teach abroad before you graduate is by doing volunteer work. If you can stomach not getting paid or a smaller stipend, there are many advantages to taking on a volunteer role. Firstly, you will most likely be able to travel to whichever destination interests you. If you’re keen to get off the beaten path and experiencing some truly undiscovered locations, now is your chance! Or, if you’d prefer to feel like a local in a classic destination, you can just as easily find opportunities in tourist hotspots like France and Spain. Volunteers can also often choose whether they want to commit short-term or long-term and, depending on the program, the kind of teaching they want to do. If you don’t feel ready to take on a role as a fully-fledged class teacher, how about working as a homestay tutor or teaching assistant? So, the pay might not be great, but for an experience that you can tailor to your exact tastes, volunteering is hard to beat. Read this: All about volunteer English teaching in China 2. Apply for ESL summer camp jobs. If you just have a few weeks free over the holidays, or want to dedicate a part of your gap year to teaching abroad, why not try applying for an English camp? There’s lots of ESL summer camp jobs throughout Europe - especially in countries like Italy and Spain. Perks often include food and accommodation (allowing you to save a few $$) and the chance to act like a big kid all summer long. Camp counselors often spend time with the kids outside of the classroom, so while you’re not teaching be prepared to get involved in activities, meal-times and campfire singalongs. Camp jobs can run through holidays all year, but summer is by far the busiest period, and positions often start appearing on job boards from January onwards. Alternatively, try searching for summer camp teaching jobs by duration or check out large international brands such as English First. Often all that’s required for positions is a TEFL qualification and a passion for teaching! Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. 3. Apply for paid teach abroad programs that don’t require degrees. If you’ve already started studying but are interested in taking a break to teach abroad before you graduate, some international programs accept applications from undergraduate students. It’s worth doing an in-depth search for any countries you’re interested in visiting, but here are a few of our favorites: South Korea’s TaLK program accepts applications from native English speakers who have completed an associate’s degree (equivalent to two years of college/university study). Teacher training is even included as part of the package! Placements last from six months to one year. There are also opportunities in Taiwan for associate degree holders who are TEFL qualified. Schools such as HESS Education organize year-long placements. The French Cultural Embassy organizes year-long teaching assistant positions throughout France for US citizens who have completed three years of higher education. Remember that you can only teach English in a country that doesn’t require you to have your degree already. So developed countries like China, South Korea and most countries in the Middle East won’t be an option for you until you get that. 4. Apply for teach abroad scholarships or grants. It’s a little-known fact that if you’re already studying for your degree in a related field, like education or linguistics, then your institution might offer funding for students interested in work or teaching abroad for a semester at educational non-profit organizations. Some universities will even count this as course work! So be sure to look into any opportunities like this at your school. 5. Travel to where you want to teach! Finally, if you’re feeling independent you could just throw caution to the wind and book a ticket to your chosen destination! In some countries, tackling your job hunt in person is likely to have much better results than applying online. While many countries only issue work visas for teachers with degrees, there are a surprising number of opportunities for those without throughout Asia, Europe and Central and South America. A few words of advice, though. Not having a degree may limit the kind of jobs you can apply for (in this situation, having a TEFL qualification can definitely help you get your foot in the door). Instead of working regular hours with one school, the reality might mean working part time for multiple schools as well as organising your own private students, and it can take a while to build up a strong network of employers. So, if you want to teach English abroad before you graduate, bear in mind that a summer break might not be long enough to make the most of an opportunity like this. If, however you’re on a gap year, or studying abroad for a semester, it could be perfect! If you decide this is the route for you, finance-wise, it's definitely worth making sure you have enough saved to tide you over for a month or two while you set yourself up. And, as you don’t know how much you’ll be earning, keep aside enough for a flight home in your native currency. Finally, make sure you get the right visa so you can work legally without your degree. So, paid work or volunteering? Summer time break or all in for a year? And most importantly, where will teaching English take you? Even if you haven't got your degree yet, there are plenty of ways make your dream adventure a reality right now and teach abroad before you graduate.

How to Be a Better Employee

How to Be a Better Employee Image via Pexels Many of us look to the New Year hoping to become a better version of ourselves. To that end, we make resolutions that, for better or worse, we do our best to keep. Keeping up a resolution, whether college student or not, can be difficult with so many things already on our plate. Our work lives are one place that probably easily qualifies as a place to improve. Whether you have a full-time job off-campus or a part-time campus job, reward is very simply given out through promotions, raises, and positive evaluations for good work and notable qualities such as attitude and cooperation. While it does take a good manager to make a company go, it also takes good workers. The best staff I have worked alongside and the best people I have managed are those who work hard, produce good work, and maintain a positive attitude. And sometimes a resolution helps with that. Andy Teach, author of the book  From Graduation to Corporation,  writes, “No one has a perfect work life and there is always room for improvement. Most people aspire to be better at their jobs because it results in increased happiness and personal satisfaction.” Who doesn’t want more happiness and satisfaction on the inside? So, in the spirit of the New Year that is just around the corner, here are some ways in which you can become a better employee. 1. Get to know your manager. Some managers have a reputation for being cold and hard to get along with. What most managers really want is employees who care about them enough to get the job done right. In order to do this, you have to understand how your manager operates and the way in which he/she wants things done. And in order to understand this about your manager, you have to get to know him. If you can’t figure out what he needs, ask what he needs you to do and how it should be done and then go and do it. The more you communicate with your manager up-front, the easier it will be for you to complete objectives and meet deadlines. Managers don’t normally hang out with employees, but you do need to hang around him or her long enough to know what they want and how they want it done. Remember, it is their company and in order to maintain a good working relationship, things must be done their way. 2. Meet or beat established deadlines. This is one that I struggle with at times, but the key to actually doing it consistently is managing time well. When your manager gives you an assignment with a deadline, it is best if you work on it right away if you can and complete it as soon as possible. Don’t take it with an ‘I’ll see what I can do’ or ‘I’ll take a look at it soon’ kind of attitude. Your manager may not verbalize it, but he wants his work done either right now or as quickly as possible. Once you set a deadline, strive to deliver ahead of time. Rather than stressing and sweating at the last minute, doing things on time or ahead of time gives you and your manager space to deal with any unforeseen problems that may arise. Also, there are two unwritten rules in business. First, usually, managers give themselves time beyond the time they give their employees to finish projects. So if your manager says, ‘I need this done by Wednesday’ and it’s Monday, most likely he needs to deliver it to a customer by Friday. He is giving himself space for any problems to arise too such as employees not getting said project done on time. Second, the employee who is always on time or ahead of time becomes the manager’s go-to person when something needs to be done in a shorter space of time. 3. Take initiative.   It may sound harsh, but your manager does not want to spoon-feed you or micro-manage you. Most managers are willing to train, coach, and even mentor their employees but after the first couple of weeks, to be an effective employee, you will need to take an interest in the company and in the work so much so that you will begin to work on your own. Try to avoid taking every single problem you encounter to your boss. If you absolutely don’t know how to use the printer or can’t find the stapler, ask a fellow colleague. Save time with your boss for higher level matters that require you to think and prove your ability to handle complex tasks. 4. Be honest about what you need. You may have done a good deal of negotiating to land your dream job, whether it is permanent or temporary, but developing negotiation skills don’t end at that point. Managers love good communicators and in order to be one, you have to be honest about what you need to do your job. It doesn’t matter whether it is supplies, more information, additional time, or more hands on deck. Asking direct questions and being thoughtful about your work will encourage your manager and show him that you are on the ball. 5. Keep your word. If you say you’re going to do something, make sure you do it. Try to avoid making excuses about not having work done because when work does not get done, it sets the entire team back, makes customers complain, and might make your co-workers complain to the boys about you. Holding yourself accountable for your actions and keeping your commitments is not only a matter of personal pride, but will be remembered by your employer. Managers want to work alongside people they can depend on no matter what. Your manager has a difficult job to do already. Just the pressure of being in charge and having others dependent on you to make it happen is not always obvious to employees. I hope these tips will help you become a better, more effective employee and to win you over to the management team.

Irvine Academic Tutor Tips How to Beat Senioritis - TutorNerds

Irvine Academic Tutor Tips How to Beat Senioritis - TutorNerds Follow These Tips From an Irvine Academic Tutor to Beat Senioritis Follow These Tips From an Irvine Academic Tutor to Beat Senioritis During the last month of school, its tempting for seniors to feel like theyre already on vacation and forget about whats going on in the classroom, including some very important issues that could potentially affect their future. Students who will be on scholarship need to maintain a certain GPA and students who have conditional college admissions letters (which is nearly everybody) need to keep those grades and test scores up in order to continue with their plans for this fall. Senioritis is normal and has been happening for generations but, its important for students to stay focused on these next couple of weeks and remember that school is still in session. 1. Maintain a regular after-school schedule It’s essential for students to make their after-school study schedule a priority until they take their last final exam. That means coming home or going to the library and studying, as usual, continuing to meet with their tutor, and staying away from friends who are skipping homework to start summer early. Maintaining a regular schedule also includes taking a reasonable amount of breaks and having enough downtime for the brain to recharge in order to finish the school year strong. Its very easy to get overwhelmed at this point in the year, and students are encouraged to make relaxation a priority in between study sessions (READ: 10 Reasons You Need an Irvine Summer Tutor). 2. Keep your eye on the prize When seniors become tempted to ditch responsibility in favor of summer activities, its important to remind them of everything they have achieved in order to get to where they are today. This includes getting excited about attending college in the fall. Talking about academic programs and major fields of study might be overwhelming at this point, so its better to focus on the fun aspects of university life such as finding a student apartment, looking at social clubs and organizations to join, or focusing on social and entertainment activities that take place on campus. Students who remember the big picture are more likely to be able to stick with high school academics for these next couple of weeks. 3. Continue to work with your tutor Part of avoiding senioritis includes maintaining regular sessions with a private tutor. Students should continue to work with their tutor in order to stay organized through the end of the year and also focus on final exams as well as any final projects that are due the very last week of school. Working with a one-on-one tutor on a regular basis forces students to stay on track and be held accountable for assignments they havent yet completed (READ: Tips From an Irvine Tutor: 5 Last-Minute Tips to Ace Your Finals). 4. Make study social Students who are tempted to socialize in lieu of completing homework assignments at this point in the year are encouraged to make their study time social in order to ensure academic success. Theres nothing wrong with working in a group just so long as each student is committed to doing well on final exams and completing any individual assignments. Students should consider working as part of a study group when focusing on subjects they generally do pretty well in and just need the motivation to stay focused or review. On the other hand, they might be better off studying solo or with their tutor when it comes to that one challenging topic they generally need extra help with. Want to beat senioritis? Our private Irvine academic tutors are here to help you end your high school years on a high note. Call TutorNerds today to book your private Irvine tutor. Members of the TutorNerds team and our private tutors write every blog post. If you have any questions about our blog, please email us at pr@tutornerds.com.

Gain Leadership Skills Working at a Summer Camp

Gain Leadership Skills Working at a Summer Camp pexels.com So how can you gain this experience prior to entering the job industry? For many, becoming a camp counselor is a great way to gain this experience. Don’t believe me? Here are ways in which you can gain leadership skills by working at a summer camp. 1. Organizational skills Being an organized person may not seem like a marketable skill for leaders, but it’s one of the most important. Have you ever worked for a person that was disorganized? Or had a teacher that was disorganized? What was that experience like? For many, this is a huge red flag, and more often than not, companies that are disorganized have higher turnover rates. So gaining these organizational skills early on is essential to your marketability. Simply having a schedule for the day, or keeping track of your kids is a great way to enhance these skills. 2. Compassion Again, this might not seem all that important, but being a compassionate leader is another huge bonus. While you will need to be strict at times, showing compassion to your employees and demonstrating their value is going to set you apart from the competition. Simply helping your kids when they need it, or trying to put yourself in their shoes, will help you to gain this experience and you’ll be much more likely to know what to do in future, professional situations as well. 3. Becoming an enforcer This is not typically a favorite part of the job, but again, it’s one that’s necessary. You will need to be a strict boss as well as a compassionate one, as there’s a certain level of authority that will need to be maintained. The same goes for summer camp. Your kids need to know that you’re in charge and understand your authority. While you don’t want them to fear you, you don’t want them to feel like they shouldn’t respect you either. Once you find that happy medium, you’ll be ready for your future role as a leader! 4. Captivating an audience Being a leader largely means “leading.” I know, shocking right? Leading doesn’t necessarily mean hand-holding, but it does mean inspiring and motivating those beneath you to strive for more. The more motivating you are, the more likely you’ll have many followers in the years to come. You can start on these skills as a camp counselor. Be the counselor that the students want to have. Be the counselor that inspires and motivates them daily. Then, you’ll have gained this experience. 5. Troubleshooting problems Again, this isn’t an easy part of the job, but it’s another necessary one. You will undoubtedly encounter problems as a leader. Whether this is between two employees or more personal, issues such as this arise all the time. Part of being a good leader is being able to troubleshoot these problems. If you have two kids that fight continually, figure out a way to change that. Maybe force them to work together, maybe you will separate them. Whatever the choice, make sure you’re doing the right thing for all that are involved. As a leader, troubleshooting problems like this will be a part of your daily job description, so it’s best to begin now. 6. Responsibility Finally, but definitely not least, you will need to gain some experience in terms of responsibility. This doesn’t always just mean getting up and showing up to work on time, but can also mean taking responsibility for your actions and/or mistakes. Being a good leader means you’re responsible and hold yourself to a high standard. Start that here. If there’s a code of ethics you need to follow, adhere to it. If there’s a higher level opportunity available to you, take it, and do it well. Be responsible for not only yourself and your actions but also your kids, as they are a reflection of you just as your employees would be. Responsibility extends far in the industry, so make sure you’re well-rounded prior to applying. Again, leadership skills are going to be hugely important when it comes to your job search. The more experience you have in this regard, the more marketable your resume is going to be. While there are countless ways to gain this experience prior to entering the workforce, one of the easiest is to take a job as a camp counselor at a summer camp. You’ll learn everything you need to in order to obtain an entry-level position in the industry and will ultimately find the experience will set you apart from your competition.
