Congratulations GCSE Students!

Congratulations GCSE Students! Thousands of teenagers received their GCSE results yesterday. Congratulations to all our students for receiving fantastic grades! With a 98.8% pass rate, many students have achieved their goals! The proportion of A*-C grades have risen, with a 3.7% increase in English A*-C Grades! Here's what our parents had to say about our Tutors helping secure student grades! Thank you for helping Thomas improve his confidence and knowledge. He attained his A* and also C in his further maths GCSE. It was great that you spoke to him like an equal rather than a teacher. Thomas - Colchester Thank you so much for your superb tuition of my daughter. Her predicted grade was below a C and she got a B for English and a C for English Literature. I was really impressed with how you managed to increase her confidence level. Thank you for having faith in my daughter. Francesca- Croydon Sara was excellent. She worked with my son on his Maths GCSE and helped him achieve an A grade. She also gave him a tremendous amount of confidence in his own ability. She completely changed his attitude to Maths. Largely thanks to Sara he will be starting A level Maths in September 2015! Rayner- Dorset In a very short space of time Dolores has taken me from a struggling student, needing help with my GCSE Latin course to an A grade student receiving high marks on the language exams. I would highly recommend Dolores with no hesitation. Jess- Liverpool My daughter has now received her GCSE results and obtained an A grade, thanks to Farah's brilliant teaching. My daughter would not have done nearly so well without Farah's help, as she was struggling before Farah began giving her tuition. Dawn- Lanbrook If you child is considering retaking their exams or your teenager is starting their GCSE's this September - they can get extra support from one of our GCSE Tutors.

The education section of an online English teaching job description is an important one to examine. Most online English tutoring companies are quite clear on their minimum education and experience requirements. Hey, if you didn’t have the time, money or the inclination to attend college, we get it. Higher education is getting harder to pay for. Not only that, but lots of people have degrees they don't need for their job or have jobs totally unrelated to their major. If the description doesn’t say a degree is a must, then it’s fair to assume that they will consider an applicant without it. Your degree isn’t in education. When you’re reading job postings, be sure that you’re not mistaking “bonus” or nice-to-have requirements, like a teaching license, with hard-and-fast requirements. With almost no exceptions, when it comes to teaching English online, your bachelor’s degree can be literally anything. This means you don’t need to have majored in English, linguistics or education. While applications from licensed or certified teachers are certainly welcome, you really just need to be fluent in English and have a degree in any major. Experience teaching/coaching/mentoring kids or adults (depending on the age group the company caters to) can be required/considered an asset, depending on the company hiring. Oh, and similarly to teaching English abroad in general, you don’t need to speak a foreign language to qualify for online English tutoring jobs, either. You’re studying for your degree. Free time can be scarce during college, but when expenses pile up quickly, a part-time or flexible schedule job is a good way to offset costs while ensuring there’s enough time left over for both academics and extracurriculars. If you’re currently enrolled in a college program and are looking for a side gig with flexible hours that you can do from home, then there are plenty of online English teaching companies that will hire you. QKids is just one example currently hiring college students to teach English online.

Select teach abroad employers won’t require applicants to have a college degree, provided you have adequate teaching experience. If you don’t have a degree but you’re already an experienced ESL instructor (either in your home country or abroad), have some business know-how and love the idea of being your own boss, you could even choose to tutor English online on a freelance basis. This route will involve a lot more legwork, of course, in the sense that you’ll need to market your services effectively and source your own English students. Due to the almost insatiable demand for online English learning, however, it’s an option that has the potential to turn into a profitable career in the long term if you’re successful at building out a steady student base. You have an ESL certificate but no degree.

With the employers listed above ??, no degree = no easy way in. This is doubly the case for those entering the field without much (or any) previous experience teaching English. Some companies will accept an applicant with experience in lieu of qualifications but most will not accept someone without either. And some online English tutoring companies are even more selective about who they hire. VIPKID, for example, not only require applicants to have a degree and eligibility to work in the US or Canada. They’re also looking for candidates who have relevant experience working with young children, whether as a teacher, coach, camp counselor or babysitter. Because requirements do vary across employers, we always recommend you to apply for online English tutoring jobs that align well with your background and aspirations. We’ve all been there and it can get frustrating (and disheartening) to get zero response back from numerous applications. numerous applications. Recommended reading: This calculator shows how much you can earn teaching English online That said, there are literally thousands of people teaching English abroad without college degrees every year. You might want to try your luck at applying to jobs in countries where you can teach English without a degree, getting some hands-on ESL teaching experience and using that to give your online English teaching resume a boost.

Teaching English in Japan What are the requirements

Teaching English in Japan What are the requirements Japan is one of the most popular destinations for those looking to teach English abroad. It’s not hard to see why. From the bright lights of Tokyo to the temples of Kyoto, the country is that perfect combination of being vastly different than what you are used to while also being technologically advanced, politically stable and safe. It’s one of those places where you can get completely outside of your comfort zone, with the only risk being that you won’t want to leave. If a springtime picnic under the cherry blossom trees or a once in a lifetime trek up Mount Fuji sounds better than what you are doing right now, then it might be time to look into teaching English in Japan. English is increasingly becoming a mandatory part of the school curriculum in this country of 127 million people, and plenty of adults are looking to learn the language in order to travel or further their careers, meaning English teachers are perpetually in high demand. So if teaching nouns and verbs by day and drinking sake and singing karaoke with Japanese salarymen by night sounds like your kind of life, then read on, because these are the requirements to teach English in Japan. Read this: Dreaming of teaching abroad? Here are the 5 best programs hiring right now! You’re going to need a work visa. Assuming you can’t obtain Japanese citizenship somehow, you’re going to need a work visa. The two types of visas most relevant to someone looking to teach English in Japan are the instructor visa and the specialist in humanities visa. The two visas serve essentially the same function but allow you to work in different places, with the instructor visa allowing you to work in public institutions like elementary and high schools, and the specialist in humanities visa allowing you to work for private language schools or companies. The requirements to teach English in Japan are essentially the requirements to get one of these two visas, because if you can’t get one, you’re out of luck. So, what do you need to get one of these two visas? You need to have a degree. Japan’s immigration laws require you to have a bachelor’s degree in order to be eligible for a work visa. However, this degree doesn’t need to be in English, education or anything remotely related to teaching English abroad. You can’t teach with the JET program, for example, without a degree. Any old bachelor’s degree will do. Finally that philosophy degree you worked so hard for can be put to good use! Because after all, if you don’t use that Philosophy degree, does it even exist? You need to have a job offer. In order to get your hands on a visa, you will first need to be hired, by either a public or private institution, who will then sponsor you during the process of obtaining your visa. Teach Away is a great job-hunting resource that can connect you with loads of great schools looking to hire potential English teachers just like yourself, who will then help you with the visa process. However, getting the job required to obtain the work visa comes with its own set of requirements. You need to speak English. Well, duh. This one should go without saying. However, just because something appears straightforward doesn’t mean somebody didn’t create some rules about it! Basically, your chances of not only being hired but getting a work visa will be greatly improved if you are deemed to be a “native speaker”. Read this: Can I teach English abroad if I’m a non-native speaker? In fact, in order to be eligible for an instructor visa for the purposes of teaching a foreign language, one has to have been educated in that language for at least 12 years. When it comes to private schools, they have more leeway as to who they hire. Having a passport from one of the more prominent English speaking countries (U.S.A, Canada, U.K. Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa) is undoubtedly an advantage, and even then, citizens of some of those countries might be given preference over others if the school deems their accents preferred. Still, a non-native speaker (or someone with a passport from a non-English-speaking country) can get a visa provided they find a company to hire them. It might be difficult, but a TEFL certificatee or previous teaching experience elsewhere might level the playing field a bit. So don’t give up, young Swede! You might need a criminal record check. Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, and they would like to keep it that way. Though not a necessity for obtaining a visa, many, if not most jobs, won’t hire you without a criminal record check, especially if you are working with children. But hey, we’re sure you’ve all kept your noses clean thus far in life, right? If not, well you might have a harder time, even though we’re sure you’re very sorry for what you did. Once hired, your English-speaking, TEFL certified, law-abiding self can then submit the requisite paperwork to obtain a work visa at a Japanese embassy or consulate in your home country, so you can arrive in Japan with your visa in order and ready go. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. You have to meet the age requirement. Japanese people officially retire at 60 years of age, meaning it’s really difficult (although not totally impossible) to be hired by a school if you’re past that age. Read this: Will I face age restrictions teaching abroad? Our final word of advice: A TEFL certificate = more job opportunities (?). Though not required to get a work visa, a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate will undoubtedly increase your odds of finding an English teaching job in Japan. In fact, many of the more reputable (and higher paying schools) will require it, meaning having one will increase not only your options but possibly your paycheck. Recommended reading: What is TEFL? Should I get TEFL certified? What qualifications do I need to teach English abroad? So that’s about it. A degree in any subject and someone willing to hire you is all you need to teach English in Japan. Though meeting other requirements can make the job search smoother (and maybe even more financially rewarding), those two things, along with a valid passport, some paperwork and a sense of adventure are about all you need to start an adventure of a lifetime. So what are you waiting for?

The Basic Mechanism of the Hydrogenation of Alkenes

The Basic Mechanism of the Hydrogenation of AlkenesThe hydrogenation of alkenes is an important step in organic chemistry. It is vital for the overall performance of a chemical reaction, in that this process involves the conversion of one molecule into another, resulting in more useful products. It is necessary in many different industries and in scientific disciplines, including biology, where the process creates useful compounds. This article focuses on the different types of hydrogenation that are used.Basically, the two types of hydrogenation are stereoselective and isochronous. Stereoselective is essentially the most commonly used method in today's industry. This occurs when a more stable structure is desired. In stereoselective methods, atoms are permanently trapped within the molecules they have been enclosed in. Chemical formulas can be simplified, making it easier to match the desired structure to one that will yield the desired chemical reactions.The isochronous hydrogenati on is the more common type of hydrogenation. In this method, atoms are not permanently confined to the molecule being reformed. Instead, these atoms are free to move around freely within the product of the reaction.These can also be called the labile types of hydrogenation. Because of this, many types of molecular structures are created in which the free-moving atoms are used to transform other inorganic materials. The most common examples are water-forming reactions. Usually, when oxygen and hydrogen bond with other atoms, a molecular structure is formed that is generally unsaturated, allowing the atoms to travel around freely and allow a specific chemical reaction to occur.This type of hydrogenation requires special equipment to perform this technique. It requires special equipment and acids for the baking of products, and more specific production procedures for specific reaction methods. When done properly, the resulting products will often be in an unsaturated state, thus yieldi ng useful, but not completely stabilized, compounds.Alkenes in particular are common to this process. For example, it can be used to form compounds like saturated oils, isomers, ketones, fatty acids, etc. Alkenes are also good in organic chemistry because of their ubiquity and stability.You should choose to use either stereoselective or isochronous hydrogenation, depending on your personal preference. The former can be done efficiently at home, while the latter requires more complicated equipment and processes. Research can help you decide which method is right for you.

My Experience at The University of Chicago

My Experience at The University of Chicago The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teachtheyre sharing their college experiences as well. Anindya is a Manhattan tutor and 2010 graduate of The University of Chicago. He holds a Bachelors degree in Law, Letters, and Society, and he tutors several subjects, including algebra tutoring, public speaking tutoring, and writing tutoring. Check out what Anindya had to say about his time at The University of Chicago: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Anindya: The University of Chicago campus is nestled in a quiet and beautiful part of Hyde Park, just a few miles south of downtown Chicago. The quad is full of seasonal trees and plants, and it is surrounded by a mixture of modern and Gothic buildings. Students have many options to get into the city by bus or train, which takes 20 to 30 minutes. Hyde Park itself is also a vibrant neighborhood with lots of options for food, drink, and leisure. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants at The University of Chicago? Anindya: Professors are available to undergraduate students, but students typically have to take the initiative to contact them either in-person or via email. These professors are world-renowned researchers, but they are willing to take the time if students are not shy about asking. Advisers at The University of Chicago are amazing, and they are very helpful when deciding majors, picking classes, and offering advice for balancing workloads. Teaching assistants are also very helpful as long as students reach out to them for help. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Anindya: Though The University of Chicago may have a bad reputation for being where fun goes to die, this is just a funny slogan that students embrace and are proud of. Most dorms that exist now are modern and luxurious. For first years, dorms largely determine your friends, but there are many student organizations that you can join to meet new people. Food is also great on campusdefinitely a surprising relief. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Anindya: The University of Chicago is definitely well renowned for their economics programs. Students who major in economics and graduate with a good GPA should not find it hard to land a great job. I studied Law, Letters, and Society, which is a selective major that offers classes at the law school and is a mix of legal rhetoric and reasoning courses. I recommend applying to it. Even though I am currently in academia and not law, it was worthwhile. How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Anindya: I found it fairly easy to meet new people and make friends. Orientation week is literally a week of fun activities for students to interact and socialize. I did join a fraternity, but Greek life can be separate and invisible to those who are not interested. Still, Greek life offers an organized way to make lifelong friends and create lasting networks. How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services at The University of Chicago? Anindya: To be honest, I did not use the Career Center much, but my friends did and found it helpful. Many reputable companies come to job fairs. I took more informal methods to land a job, such as emailing my professors about possible opportunities to work for them. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Anindya: All facilities are clean and very conducive to productive studying. They only get crowded during finals, but that is a part of the intellectual atmosphere of that time. It is easy to get a personal desk, or to sit at a big table with friends, though silence is usually required at most libraries. Harper Library is gorgeous and looks like the castle in Harry Potter. Describe the surrounding town at The University of Chicago. Anindya: Hyde Park is vibrant and refreshing. Especially during the spring, fall, and summer, there are many street events like art walks. Winter is cool too because there is an ice rink on the Midway two blocks south of the quad. There are awesome restaurants, including upscale or small and cozy diner-type spots. President Obama heartily endorses Valois, but I am a Salonica person myself. Noodles, Cedars, Seven Ten Lanes, and Leonas are also all great hangouts for students. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Anindya: There are about 1,000 students per class. I think that is the perfect number for small class sizes, and feeling like you know a lot of the people you will graduate with by the end. I only had one or two classes larger than 30 studentsbig lecture coursesand the rest typically had 20 or so. The University of Chicago is very selective about keeping these numbers. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Anindya: I loved my American Law and the Rhetoric of Race course, which I took at the law school with law school students. It was a very moving experience about how the law changed to finally view African Americans as deserving of rights, and the long and difficult process involved in this. It was taught by Professor Dennis Hutchinson. I regret not having taken his class on Abraham Lincoln, which many others said was their favorite. Check out Anindyas tutoring profile.

How to Avoid Study Distractions

How to Avoid Study Distractions This is certainly a broad topic, as distractions are everywhere. Not only that, but everybody gets distracted by different things. That is one of the reasons studying can be so difficult and frustrating random aspects of the world are always catching our attention. Especially if you are one with a shorter attention span, staying focused through your studies is no easy process. Here are some great approaches to studying in collegethat you may want to check out as well. Regardless of where we study, the surrounding environment is going to detract us from our work in one way or another. But there are a few distractions that we can control, and they are obvious ones. Ways of shutting them off are simple and effective however, gathering up the discipline to go through with these processes may be difficult. Some of it involves breaking away from things we are addicted to and/or dependent on, and some of it involves preventing procrastination habits. When it comes to both areas, it may be tough yet, in the end, this method could truly turn your study sessions around in a wholly positive way. If you dont need the internet, disconnect it: The internet is probably the number one distraction for most people, so this should be easy to recognize. Whether or not its easy to do, however, is a different story. We all like to say that we wont get on Facebook, we wont check Twitter, we wont check on our favorite YouTube channel, etc. But lets face it: were only human, and checking on these things is usually inevitable. In your mind, you may even preface it with Im just going to look once and then get right back to my work, but it typically ends up lasting longer than one look, right? Therefore, the safest method here would be to either disconnect your internet temporarily at home, or go somewhere without free wi-fi. The latter may be safer, since you could easily reconnect your internet at home. It may be painful, but itll allow you to study much more efficiently. Dont worry, youll survive. Silence your cell phone and put it away: This is pretty similar to the internet disconnection. With your phone by your side, your eyes and hands usually cant help but gravitate toward it. When it goes off, your thoughts will be taken elsewhere, for who knows how long? If you put it away and silence it, the distraction simply wont be there. Of course, we all know this is about as easy as getting away from the internet but its just something youll have to do. Sometimes, turning the phone off altogether may work better than simply silencing it, because that makes it a lot harder to check your messages. You can adjust these rules accordingly to your personal level of dependency. Stay away from T.V.s: This should be pretty self-explanatory. Although you may view the local news or a funny reality show as some needed background noise, it is usually going to end up being more than that. Once any bit of dialogue steals your attention, your mind will get drawn into the program usually unintentionally. Even if your attention is only taken for a couple of minutes at a time, those minutes amount to a lot by the end of your session. It would be pretty frustrating knowing your studying lasted an hour longer than it needed to only because that screen caught your eye every ten minutes. Sometimes you dont even realize how often those T.V. icons are distracting you. Dont carry headphones with you: Some people really work well with a little background music, and thats okay. But if having the music on for background noise is for the same reason you had the T.V. on for background noise, think twice before you load up your songs. Be honest with yourself and figure out if music takes away your study focus. If it does, take your work outside your home and do not bring headphones. Clearly, you cant outwardly play your music in a library or study lounge for everyone else to hear, so a lack of headphones leaves you stuck. However, that initial frustration will be pushed aside for consistently attentive studying. Youd be amazed at how much quicker you can get through material without song lyrics swimming through your head. Stock up all necessary supplies by your side: If your pen runs out of ink, you have to get up and get a new one. If you get thirsty, youll need to go get a bottle of water. If youre cold, you will be forced to go search for a sweater. We may secretly like when these events occur because they give us reasons to get away from our study area, even if just for a minute. But that minute easily turns into more minutes, because once youre off, its hard to get back to business. If you anticipate all of these possible mishaps and keep necessary items near you, however, you will have no reason to leave your study space until you are finished. Here is a great list of 5 random items that can help you studythat you may want to take a look at as well. No one said studying was going to be easy, but you have the ability to create the perfect world for it. Allow yourself this world free of distractions you deserve to achieve the results you desire. And remember: all of these fun distractions will be there waiting for you once you are done. You may also want to take a look at these tips on how to find your study spaceas well.
