How to Prepare For Your High School Chemistry Review For Tutor
How to Prepare For Your High School Chemistry Review For TutorAs a high school chemistry tutor, you will be required to get your students ready for their next Chemistry Exam. I want to give you some tips to help with that. Most high school students know the material and how to answer questions about it, but when it comes to actually doing it, they struggle. Here are some easy ways to do it on your own so you can become more familiar with the subject.The first thing you need to do is come up with a plan of what you will do during the science class. You will have a science fair or research project. These are great things for your students to participate in. These will help them to be knowledgeable and be able to understand the material better. Plus, they will have fun doing it.When you get ready to test your students, make sure you get an assessment form so you can get them out of the room and record their answers. It's a good idea to find out what they were testing. If they were testi ng for proficiency, you need to talk to them to find out what they are expecting. If they were testing for the middle, you need to come up with a way to help them test for the first time. Do some research and find out what you need to do.The next step is to get them to show you how they will answer the tests. You want to ask them what kinds of answers they are looking for. You can get your student to answer you and also you can get your student to sit in front of the computer screen with you while you type their answers.Finally, ask them to write out their answers so you can use them as practice in the next time you have them do the exam. Be sure to let them finish every line before giving them the test. This will help them become familiar with the answers that you use in the test. They will probably do better with this because they will have more practice before the actual test.Don't worry about getting the wrong answer when you are giving the test. Most of the time, your students will know exactly what to do and why they got it right. Plus, you will have more success if you have some help with it. It will make the whole process go a lot smoother.If you want to get your students ready for their next Chemistry Exam, then you need to review all the tips I just gave you. Start with these and you will do much better. Good luck!

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.

How to get a job teaching English online without a degree [+companies hiring]
How to get a job teaching English online without a degree [+companies hiring] You have your heart set on teaching English online and youâre just about ready to go for it and apply, but thereâs one tiny problem... The job posting is looking for applicants with a bachelorâs degree and you donât have a four-year degree. ?? So maybe you never took the university route or youâre still a student who hasnât graduated yet and youâre left wondering if you can still get a job teaching online without a degree. Well, it depends. So letâs take a deeper look below and find you the right solution and the right online teaching position! Can I teach English online without a degree? Yes! There are opportunities to teach English online without a degree. Some companies may require a bachelorâs degree, but some donât! This brings us to our quick list of online English teaching jobs that pay well and donât require a bachelorâs degree. And below this list of jobs, we also offer useful tips for job searching for an online English teaching gig without a bachelorâs degree (so donât click that âxâ button just yet!) A (non-exhaustive) list of online English teaching companies that donât require a degree: Cambly PalFish My Tutor Lab Magic Ears (accepts current university students) Open English While thereâs no perfect answer to the question of whether you can teach English online without a degree, we do know of a few instances in which you should (and shouldnât) take a run at an online English teaching job that looks amazing, even if it feels slightly out of reach. Because whether you're thinking about college, already enrolled, or have zero interest in ever going to college, there are ways to find employment as an English teacher online. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. You should apply to teach English online without a degree if: A degree isnât listed as a requirement. 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 didnât 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 doesnât say a degree is a must, then itâs fair to assume that they will consider an applicant without it. Your degree isnât in education. When youâre reading job postings, be sure that youâre not mistaking âbonusâ 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 bachelorâs degree can be literally anything. This means you donât 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 donât need to speak a foreign language to qualify for online English tutoring jobs, either. Youâre 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 thereâs enough time left over for both academics and extracurriculars. If youâre 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. If youâre thinking of teaching abroad, either for a semester or after graduation, then thereâs really no better way to get your application to the top of the pile than by gaining direct experience teaching English language learners. Recommended reading: Want to teach abroad? Try teaching English online first. You have previous teaching experience but no degree. Select teach abroad employers wonât require applicants to have a college degree, provided you have adequate teaching experience. If you donât have a degree but youâre 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 youâll need to market your services effectively and source your own English students. Due to the almost insatiable demand for online English learning, however, itâs an option that has the potential to turn into a profitable career in the long term if youâre successful at building out a steady student base. You have an ESL certificate but no degree. If you're a native English speaker but you donât have a degree or any experience to bolster your application for an online English teaching jobs, we highly recommend you get TEFL certified. There are even fully online TEFL courses out there, so you wonât have to leave your house to get qualified! You shouldnât apply for an online English teaching job without a degree if: A degree is listed as mandatory. As much as we hate to break it to you, you will be out of luck with some online English tutoring companies. Sadly, with some companies, you canât get away with online English teaching with no degree. Many employers, like VIPKID, iTutorGroup, 51Talk, Hujiang and Gogokid, do prefer graduates and use college degrees as one way to weed out their hiring process. 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. Theyâre 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. Weâve 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. Today's post has covered a really common question we get at Teach Away - online English teaching jobs that require no degree to get started.

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. Itâs 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. Itâs one of those places where you can get completely outside of your comfort zone, with the only risk being that you wonât 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! Youâre going to need a work visa. Assuming you canât obtain Japanese citizenship somehow, youâre 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 canât get one, youâre out of luck. So, what do you need to get one of these two visas? You need to have a degree. Japanâs immigration laws require you to have a bachelorâs degree in order to be eligible for a work visa. However, this degree doesnât need to be in English, education or anything remotely related to teaching English abroad. You canât teach with the JET program, for example, without a degree. Any old bachelorâs degree will do. Finally that philosophy degree you worked so hard for can be put to good use! Because after all, if you donât 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 doesnât mean somebody didnât 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 ânative speakerâ. Read this: Can I teach English abroad if Iâm 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 donât 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, wonât hire you without a criminal record check, especially if you are working with children. But hey, weâre sure youâve all kept your noses clean thus far in life, right? If not, well you might have a harder time, even though weâre sure youâre 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 itâs really difficult (although not totally impossible) to be hired by a school if youâre 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 thatâs 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?

Where to Find the Best Tutoring Jobs in VancouverTutor jobs in Vancouver are everywhere, although you might not be aware of them. But most people are really glad that they have made a career out of studying, for they would not have thought of such a fun occupation.
