At first you may not even know what a Chemistry Tutor is or what they do or why they are so great. So let's get to know them better.As the word suggests, a Chemistry Tutor works with people in order to enhance their knowledge in such diverse subjects as chemical composition, chemical balance, and thermodynamics. The methods and techniques employed by a Tutor are more than just simply listening and nodding in your hand while telling you what to do.Tutors provide better understanding of various elements in the process of the chemical reactions in the many different chemical reactions. This is especially important in fields like pharmaceuticals where very important elements are required to make complex medicines and drugs. As we a ll know, the production of complex medicines and drugs relies on the purest ingredients which can only be obtained from the rarest sources in the world.If you happen to have gone to college, then you know that there were days that each one of your classes were crammed full of students of varying ages and backgrounds. By the time you finished with your final exams or in fact, if you finished any sort of degree at all, you had a hard time finding the time to carry out your studies.That is where a Tutor comes in handy because these days more individuals are obtaining their Bachelor of Science degrees from Universities and Colleges. Often the result of such courses is going to a Technological University or some other renowned educational institute.As a result, most such schools require all their students to obtain certification to work as an assistant in a laboratory of some sort. With a Bachelor of Science degree from a university, these individuals would be considered qualified to be Tutors or Helpers within the field of chemistry.But let's keep this simple. A Tutor is a person who looks after the education and mental state of students by giving them the knowledge and skills needed to take up examinations or to go through other stringent procedures in the field of chemistry. Not only will he give your life a little bit more cheer and joy by teaching you the complexities of your chosen field, he or she will also help you attain your dreams and aspirations in the long run.

Linear Functions

Linear Functions An algebraic expression with degree 1 is called as a linear expression. The standard form of a line is Ax + By = C.Here A, B and C are constantsx and y are variablesSo Ax+ By = c is a linear equation with two variables.Linear Equations can be represented in many forms. A linear equation may have any number of variables. Suppose it is n then the linear equation is of the form a1x1 + a2x2+a3x3++an xn = CC C is a constant and x1, x2.,xnare variables 1)What is the degree of x + 3y = 12 ? The power of x is 2 and the power of y is 1. Degree = Highest power = 2 Example 1: 2x + 3 = 19 (Linear equation in one variable) 2x +3- 3 = 19 3 (Add -3 on both sides) 2x/2 = 16/2(Divide by 2 on both sides) x = 8 Example 2: 4x + 3y + 7 = 0 (Linear equations in two variables x y) NOTE: Number of solutions of an equation is equal to the degree of the equation. 4) Choose a Linear expression from the following (a) y (b) 6x/2y (c) 2xy + 6 (d) 7x + 9y (e) y Answer: d 5) x + 2 = 12. Solve for x x + 4 = 12 (Square the number) x + 4 4= 124 (Add -4 on both sides) x = 8

A Timeline for Applying to Law School

A Timeline for Applying to Law School LSAT Law School Blog Today’s guest post comes fromAnn Levine, president and chief consultant atLaw School Expert. Ann is the former director of law school admissions at two ABA-approved law schools and the nation’s leading law school admission consultant. Law School Expert provides hourly and beginning-to-end consulting, and Ann has personally guided over 2,000 law school applicants through the law school admission process. Ann is also the author of the bestselling law school admission guidebookThe Law School Admission Game: Play Like an Expert. A Timeline for Applying to Law School Law school applications are released starting in the end of August, but some schools don’t release applications until October 1. When you choose to submit your applications is mostly dependent on when you are taking theLSAT. A good rule of thumb is to try to submit applications before the nextLSATadministration. For example: If you take the JuneLSAT, you want to submit applications in September/October (before the OctoberLSATis given). If you take the OctoberLSAT, you want to submit applications in November/early December (before the DecemberLSATis given). If you take the DecemberLSAT, submit applications by the end of January (before the FebruaryLSATis given). If you take the FebruaryLSAT, you might be in big trouble! Ideally, you are not applying for the current year’s application season, but applying in the fall for the following year’s application season. If you end up doing well on theLSAT, you could potentially find a place at a law school that would love to have you, but it’s not a great strategy for getting into a reach school because the schools have waiting lists to go to at that point, if a spot opens up in the class. After submitting your applications, you should make sure the schools receive everything they need to render a decision. This is called “making sure your file is complete,” and it is your responsibility. After you do this, you should then expect to wait at least 4 weeks, and sometimes more than 4 months, for a response from law schools. Just because the schools say they will mail decisions by April 15 and require deposits by May 15, doesn’t mean you’ll have decisions back from schools. You should expect to find yourself on waiting lists (which can drag the process out into August). hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, '6baac2ae-05a3-4610-9d1f-265c8cbd809f', {});

Reading Programs for Struggling Readers

Reading Programs for Struggling Readers Struggling Readers Can Suffer In all Academic Subjects but Reading Programs Can Help Reading isn't just about opening a book and being able to read the story. It is a complex process that requires students to interpret new concepts, make connections between previously read texts, evaluate their own understanding, make inferences and predictions, anddraw conclusions based on previous knowledge. When a child is struggling with reading skills it affects much more than the ability to read and comprehend a book. Reading permeates every facet of life, impacts allsubject areas, and can have a major effect on a student's academic confidence. Multiple academic disciplines are affected when a student is struggling in reading. Areas of concern may include: Math Students are expected to readand interpret mathematical word problems, follow complex directions, andapply critical thinking skills to mathematical scenarios. Before beginning any mathematical calculationa struggling reader will likely facedifficulty comprehendingthe problem and determining where tobegin. ScienceScience courses, such aschemistry, biology, physics, and earth science, require students to readand understand textbooks, follow laboratory directions, and interpretscientific reports. Struggling readers face additional difficulties withcomplex vocabulary and academic terms that impact overall understanding. History and social studiesSolid reading skills areessential for success in social studies and historycourses. Students must be able to read and understand textbooks, academic articles, biographies, and primary documents. Many of these texts includespecialized vocabulary, require students to identify historicalconnections, and are best understood within the context of previous readingand learning. Foreign languages Learning a foreign languagerequires a student to understand and be able to applyphonological(blendingsounds together and segmenting sounds from words) and orthographic (the sound-symbol connection) processes. Struggling readersmay face difficulties with these basic processes which impact both theirreading ability and the comprehension required to learn a foreignlanguage. Career preparation Your child's success in school will have a direct impact on career preparation and the ability to succeed in future work. A struggling reader is less likely tosuccessfullyaccess professional or technical texts, understand andprocess complex directions,and apply new learning. Poor readingskills can hamper a student and will limit future educational and vocational options.

Cross Country Star Committed to Reaching Goals

Cross Country Star Committed to Reaching Goals Cross Country Star Committed to Reaching Goals Zosia, 12-years-old, Math Level J Reading Program Completer Whether it’s a relay runner pushing through their leg of the race to pass the baton off to their teammate or a beginner who wants to improve their mile time â€" runners set goals to challenge themselves and strive for greatness. Runners often display tenacity, discipline and determination to focus on reaching the goals that lie ahead. 12-year-old Zosia also learned the importance of setting goals, both when shes running cross country and in the classroom. Just last year, she was the top performing runner on her middle school’s cross country team. Zosia continues to remain focused on the goals that lie ahead, and never lets any challenge get in the way. “I believe in myself and I’m competitive,” said Zosia. “Whether I am running, swimming, writing or solving math problems, I set my mind at being the best.” Zosia has proven to be far from your average student. At five, her test scores were off the charts, allowing her to skip kindergarten and landing her right into first grade. She was destined for success right from the start, and her story begins in Kumon. Zosia’s Kumon journey began when she was just three years old. She completed the entire Kumon Reading Program , which ends in analyzing high school literature, before entering the 8th grade. Zosia’s math skills have also proven to be above grade level as she’s already mastered algebraic concepts like exponential functions and quadratic equations. Zosia has even found time in her busy schedule to give back to the community. Having completed 123 hours of community service during the school year, she was recognized with the Outstanding Service Award. In 2018, she was awarded the first place prize in the Fond du Lac County Land Conservation Committee’s Conservation and Awareness Poster Contest. Zosia’s entry also took first place at the regional level advancing her to state. “I am proud of the way I use my intelligence, and have high hopes to become a neurosurgeon,” said Zosia. “I am proud that I don’t give into peer pressure because I know doing the wrong thing will block my way to reaching my goals.” What do you enjoy most about Kumon? I really enjoy working independently. Zosia shakes hands with Kumon North America President Mino Tanabe What’s the most beneficial thing you’ve learned in Kumon so far? Kumon has helped me overcome some difficult times in life. At times, it has been hard for me to make friends. Kumon has given me the knowledge to connect with other kids who share the same interests as me and enjoy math. I am also able to help my classmates get through difficult math exercises. How has Kumon helped you academically? Kumon has helped me academically because I was able to skip a full grade and move into High School Level Math as a Middle School student. I’ve also gained confidence in all subjects. If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? Inspiring! Who is your biggest inspiration and why? I am inspired by my parents. They are very supportive and intelligent. They want what is best for me and they are always helping others to reach their full potential. What’s your favorite book and why? It’s hard to pick just one favorite, but I will say “Louisiana’s Way Home” by Kate DiCamillo. I love this book because there are many references to other books she has written. I think it’s so cool how she ties in so many books like, “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” and “The Magician’s Elephant” together in one story and building it into a new plot. I really like the plot because the main character Louisiana’s whole life has been a big lie. It’s interesting to find out the real story after her Granny sends her a note revealing the truth. It’s a must read! How did you feel when you found out you were selected to attend the 2019 Kumon Student Conference? I was amazed and overjoyed! I was so grateful to be accepted and had the support of my family! What was your experience like at the 2019 Kumon Student Conference, and what was your favorite part? The Student Conference was an inspiring experience! There are times when I’m overwhelmed by completing my work.

An Open Letter To The Stanford Rape Case Judge

An Open Letter To The Stanford Rape Case Judge pixabay.com Sure, sentencing a young boy to years in prison wouldnt be the most fulfilling aspect of your job description, but that doesnt mean you simply dont do it. On a day that an innocent, broken down victim looked to you, trusted you, relied on you to do the right thing by her, on a day that America as a whole, looked to you to do exactly what needed to be done, you fell short. No, thats too forgiving. If Im being completely honest, you failed completely. And heres why: For one thing, rape is a serious crime thats all too often disregarded by our judicial system. Lack of proof and gray areas are just some of the reasons certain rape cases will never even make it to trial, while simple fear of reliving such a traumatic experience prevents even more victims from even reporting the crime. And what youve done in your sentencing does nothing but reiterate this concern to victims everywhere. What youve told victims is that their voice does not matter. Youve told them that their traumatic experiences, their recovery from this experience, and their fear something that oftentimes lasts the rest of their lives doesnt require justice to be served. Youve told them, and everyone else in the country, that a college athlete is above the law. What do you think the repercussions are going to be? You think that rapes are going to decrease now? You think that perpetrators are going to be afraid to commit this crime? Certainly not. All youve done is shown rapists the repercussions for their crimes arent going to be taken seriously. All youve done is taken away hope from victims and given it to their perpetrators. Whether purposely or not, this is what youve done. Let me fill you in on something that needs to be heard, not just by you, but by the entire system: athletes are not above the law. Athletes are people. And if theyve committed a crime, theyre a criminal. Their swimming time no longer applies their crimes do. A football player that murdered his wife is a murderer. A basketball player that robbed a bank is a thief. An Olympic gymnast that smuggles drugs, but that brought home the gold medal three times for the U.S., is still a smuggler. To put it into perspective for those that dont understand: athleticism does not make you immune to the law when you commit a crime. It just makes you an athletic criminal. I understand that the Stanford student was young. I understand he had a bright future ahead of him. But his actions are no ones fault but his own. One person, and one person alone ruined his future: him. Not sentencing a criminal because youre afraid of what it will do to them is laughably ignorant. Sure, this kid will come out mentally more stable than perhaps he would have otherwise. So what? What of the victims around the world who were silenced by your decision? All youve done is exchanged the well-being of one criminal for the well-being of innumerable innocents. As difficult as it is to be a judge to hand out sentences in the hopes that they are correct its astounding that such an unforgivable crime receives nothing more than a slap on the wrist. For the rape victims everywhere that are too scared to speak up, you are doing them no favors. Nobody should be put through this, and by handing out a light sentence, in a way, you are condoning this behavior if youre of a certain social status, or if youre an athlete. Its time to make a stand, to make an example out of someone that many would believe untouchable, but you instead did nothing to help the cause. Rape victims shouldnt have to go through such trials for such a minimizing outcome. This is exactly why victims arent speaking out against their assailants theyve been shown time and time again that their pain and suffering do not matter. That its their own fault, that even if they come forward, nothing is going to come from it. Its a sad reality, and thats exactly why now is the time for a change, and what better way to start than at the top? If you wont make an example of such privileged assailants who have no remorse, then we as a public have decided to make an example of you. The time for change is now no more waiting around for a change that we cant go on without. In the wake of this crime, youve let us down. And in all honesty, you wont be the last to do so. But we wont be silenced. We have a voice. The victim of this crime has a voice. And we are all going to start being heard. Like I said, its a time for change, whether the judicial system is ready or not. So thank you for your awful decision. Thank you because its made the rest of us stronger. Its brought light to an issue otherwise ignored. Thank you for your ignorance. Its made us stronger.

5 Ways to Make New Friends as a Transfer Student

5 Ways to Make New Friends as a Transfer Student 5 Ways to Make New Friends as a Transfer Student 5 Ways to Make New Friends as a Transfer Student Many students transfer from one school to another throughout the year. This will often happen in the college environment when a student decides they would like to major in something the original university doesnt offer or if they simply arent enjoying the environment. Although college students will have a choice in the matter, high school students may switch schools simply because their parents have moved from one town to another. As a transfer student, it’s much easier if they can make new friends as quickly as possible. Although there will also be academic adjustments, students who have fast friends will often feel more confident, thus making them better students overall. 1 Join a study group Students who join a study group, whether in high school or college, will have the opportunity to make several new friends. You will all have at least one thing in common: you want to pass that next exam. Study groups are an easy way to join the school’s social environment because most of the groups are happy to have new people as long as that person is studious and contributes to the group. Additionally, in all honesty most study groups end up hanging around and drinking coffee after the assignments have been completed. New students will have a chance to improve both social and academic skills in such a situation. 2 Join an organization or club Both high schools and colleges have organizations and clubs that meet after classes are finished. This is a great way to start meeting acquaintances and friends who share similar interests. Although these clubs serve an academic or volunteer purpose, they are highly social by nature and require a good amount of collaboration and social interaction. Students who simply want to make friends may consider joining the club that is the most social and requires the largest amount of group work or conversation (READ: Going Back to College: A Mature Students Checklist). 3 Make one or two good friends Many students will have had a dozen friends at their old school and are overwhelmed with the thought of making a dozen new friends straight away. Its good to start out by making one or two good friends. In this situation, you can then make friends with their friends and so on. Its better not to get overly frustrated in the beginning, just focus on finding one or two nice people to make the day easier and more fun (READ: The Lowdown on Standardized Testing). 4 Join an after school activity Students in high school can consider joining an after school activity in addition to a club or organization. This could include anything from sports to volunteer activities. Some of these after school activities may be related to the school and others will not. Either way, they are a great way to be able to get to know some new people outside of the classroom environment. Many students adjusting to the rigorous academic issues presented by starting at a new school may find it hard to socialize on campus or at school, thus after school activities can be a great alternative (READ: The Dynamic, Not Dreaded, Group Project). 5 Take an elective class that has a social element In addition to clubs and after-school activities, students can also take an elective with a social element. Some electives, such as art classes, allow students to collaborate and have conversations about the projects at hand. These types of interactive classes can be a ton of fun and allow students to make new friends while enjoying an educational environment where they do more than simply listen and take notes. Music classes, computer arts classes, and organized sports are all highly social and require a lot of interaction. All blog entries, with the exception of guest bloggers, are written by Tutor Nerds.
