6 Reasons SAT Tutoring Can Increase Your SAT Score

6 Reasons SAT Tutoring Can Increase Your SAT Score ACT SAT Prep and College Admissions Blog Prepping for the SAT is like taking a trip. You want the journey to be safe, to be as pleasant as possible, and to bring you to your intended destination. Making the journey certainly doesn't have to be a drag. In fact, it can be kind of exciting when you see that you're making good progress, and extra exciting when your SAT score reflects the progress you've made. A tutor is like a guide who knows the territory your trip will cover and can help you get to your destination smoothly, avoiding dangers and wrong turns. Here are 6 reasons why a tutor can make your test prep a better experience and help you raise your SAT score: Reason #1 The SAT takes familiar things and presents them in unfamiliar ways. If you're not aware of the SAT's somewhat unconventional approach to subject matter, you can fall far short of your potential on the SAT. Even if you have excellent algebra skills, for example, you may find yourself at a loss when the SAT asks an algebra question which sounds nothing like what your math teachers taught you in class. However, once you see the basic idea behind the SAT's question, you'll see the connections to what you have learned in school, and finding the answer may seem quite easy. A tutor can help you to take things you already know, and see them from the SAT's point of view. Reason #2 In addition to helping you leverage the knowledge you already have, your tutor can help you to learn any new things you need to know to succeed on the SAT. A tutor can methodically evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, find any critical gaps in your knowledge, and help you get up to speed in the areas where you're not quite as strong. Reason #3 A tutor can make you more efficient. When solving problems and answering questions on the SAT, it's not necessary to follow the same processes you would in school. Your tutor can show you shortcuts, alternate techniques, and simplified strategies for narrowing the choices down to the correct answer quickly and without excess effort. Once you streamline and simplify the thought process you use to find solutions and answers, the test won't seem like such a draining ordeal. Reason #4 Meeting with a tutor on a regular basis promotes focus and commitment. You know that doing your best on the SAT is important, but actually working with a tutor helps to reinforce how important the goal is and to keep you on track from week to week. Reason #5 Encouragement. If getting ready for the SAT has you feeling a bit overwhelmed, your tutor can help ease the pressure. Knowing that you don't have to do everything on your own can work wonders for your confidence level. Reason #6 Customized support. Every individual is unique, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach to test prep that works best for everyone. Working with a tutor on a one-to-one basis is probably the best way to ensure that you get exactly the right help you need to get ready for the SAT. Good luck on your journey to SAT success! hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, '6baac2ae-05a3-4610-9d1f-265c8cbd809f', {});

MyGuru’s tutors will also be able to travel directly to the rink to work with players before or after practice, if that’s most convenient for them. For high school sophomores and juniors, 1-1 or small group ACT SAT prep sessions will be available. To learn more about MyGuru LLC, please visit www.myguruedge.com, email info@myguruedge.com, or call 312-278-0321. CYA has just announced a partnership with MyGuru LLC, a local provider of 1-1 small group tutoring test prep services MyGuru LLC has just signed an agreement with CYA to be its Official Academic Partner, enabling it to provide discounted, on-demand, in-person, 1-1 tutoring and test prep services to all CYA players and families. With the 2010 season set to begin, the partnership recognizes the academic requirements surrounding the main goal of most CYA players - a scholarship from an elite college. Tier 1 AAA Hockey Academics It can be difficult to maintain proper focus on academics when playing a sport at an elite level â€" Still, AAA hockey players generally have a singular focus â€" obtaining a college scholarship. This always requires a minimum ACT score, but many colleges, including all Ivy League schools and Northwestern University, actually require scholarship athletes to meet the same, rigorous academic standards (i.e., grades and test scores) as general applicants. In addition, the jump many CYA players make after Midget AAA hockey can obscure the importance of academics. For most players, the next step towards a college scholarship is not college itself, but Junior hockey. If their time in Juniors goes well, it is 2-3 years later that many players finally enter college on scholarship. However, the academic performance required to obtain a college scholarship is not the issue that some who’ve been involved in elite youth hockey view as most important. It’s the question of what happens if the scholarship doesn’t eventually come. The issue is that, even for the top players in Midget AAA hockey, there ultimately aren’t that many scholarships to go around after Juniors. Some players will need to fall back purely on academics to gain admission into their college of choice. Furthermore, some of the best non-scholarship college “club” hockey teams, which do provide a level of hockey that can be similar to Midget AAA, Junior B or A, or even Division III (e.g., like Indiana or Illinois in the Big Ten), have relatively stringent admissions criteria.

How to choose between teaching in a public or private school

How to choose between teaching in a public or private school There are teaching fundamentals that are relevant in every classroom (lesson planning ? knowledge sharing ? homework marking ?) but the kind of school you teach in can make quite a difference to your working life. There are many types of schools out there but all of them fall into one of two categories: public or private. Choosing which one you work in can affect everything from who, what, and where you teach to how much you get paid. So what are the main differences between public and private schools? And how do you know which might suit you better? Read on to find out. What you need to know about teaching in public schools What are public schools? Public schools are normally run by the government, paid for with taxes, and students are legally required to attend them until the age of about 16 (depending on the country they’re in). As such, students in public schools are children and teens, separated into classes by age or ability, who study a range of key subjects like math, language, science, and humanities. What qualifications do I need to work in a public school? National or local governments will normally require teachers to have specific qualifications in order to work in public schools, whether that’s a Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree or teaching certificate. The required qualifications will vary from place to place so make sure you double check that any qualification you sign up for will be accepted in the school district you want to teach in. Making sure you get the right qualification will open job opportunities in a whole network of schools that could stretch throughout your state, country, and even overseas. ?? How’s the job security for teachers in public schools? Public school teaching jobs are normally very secure because they are funded by taxpayers. Instead of working for a private employer, you’ll be working for the government and for your local community with all the job protections that come with that. On top of this, public school teachers often have strong unions that can offer advice and support if ever you do run into difficulties at work. As such, you can be pretty confident that as a public school teacher you are part of a standardized system in which workers' rights are well-protected. What’s the salary like for teachers in public schools? In the same vein, you can normally rely on being paid on time and getting a fair salary (relevant to what other teachers in the system earn) in the public school system. There should also be clear pathways for career progression, salary increases, and so on. It’s hard to say whether your salary would be lower or higher in the public or private system because public schools in some areas are better funded than others and there are so many different types of private schools (more details on this below). What are the teaching conditions like in public schools? As students are normally required to attend public school by law, classes are often filled to their maximum capacity and have a diverse social mix of students from different backgrounds. There can be benefits and drawbacks to this, and maximizing the benefits often comes down to good classroom management. For example, in a well-managed classroom, different social backgrounds provide a learning opportunity for all (teachers included!) and large classes provide a lively, social atmosphere. As students (or their families) don’t really have a choice regarding attending public school in some cases you might also need you to put your classroom management skills to use to curb behavior problems and motivate students. Can I teach what I want in public school? In a public school, you will probably have to teach according to a government-approved curriculum. At some levels, this will also involve the responsibility of preparing your students to take exams that could help to define their futures. Overall this will mean that you might not have much freedom in terms of what you teach. Having said that, most public school teachers will still be encouraged to let their natural passion for their topic shine through and personalize their lessons to suit their students’ learning needs. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. What you need to know about teaching in private schools What are private schools? The main difference between public and private schools is that private schools are run independently of the government so they are in charge of their own curriculum, ethos, and funding. This means that they are often funded by private sources such as parents, students, alumni and donors. Students may be children, teens or adults and study a range of subjects. Beyond that, private schools also cover a variety of functions and there are many different types of private schools, such as: Private schools that follow something equivalent to the public curriculum. Students probably attend these everyday, in place of going to public school, for example, boarding schools. International schools that follow the same (or similar) curriculum as public schools in the “home” country of families that live abroad but want their children to be educated in their native language or education style. Schools for skills that only teach one or a few disciplines such as language or music schools. Schools for communities that tailor their lessons to suit the community needs such as religious schools or military schools. Schools for teaching methods that prioritize types of learning not practised in public schools such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf (or Steiner) education. Special needs schools that cater to students with disabilities. What do they teach in private schools? After looking at all the different types of schools above you might notice they can get pretty specific, so it follows that the teaching can get pretty specific too. If you’re a teacher with a niche (or looking to develop one) private school teaching might be the way to become an expert in your specialty, whether that is working with kids with special needs, teaching the flute or working with bilingual students. Some private schools stick closely to the standard curriculum, and your job might entail preparing students for the same standardized tests they would take in public school. However, most private schools will offer their teachers more freedom to decide what they teach and how they teach it than public schools do. What are the teaching conditions like in private schools? Private schools often have smaller classes than public schools, making it easier as a teacher to monitor and support students’ learning on an individual level. As the student, or their family, has made a choice to be there you might find they are more motivated to learn than in public school making for a very productive learning environment. (Disclaimer: kids will be kids so this isn’t always the case!) How are private schools run? One of the difficult things about working at a private school is that, ultimately, the school is a business and your students are also the school's clients. You might find that different students (or their families) have a different idea of value for money when it comes to education. Some will prioritize enjoyment, of course, others will be very results focused. On the other hand, your school might prioritize keeping students happy over educational rigor, which can be tough when as a teacher you know that studying is a rewarding, but not always enjoyable, process. As a teacher in a private school, you’ll have to walk the line between pushing your students to achieve and keeping them coming back to class. A good place to start is by working out what your school’s ethos is, and then communicating clearly with your students about what you want to achieve together in the classroom. What qualifications do I need to teach in a private school? As the type of teaching you do in private schools can vary, there are also all kinds of qualifications that might help you work in one. To work in an international school or a boarding school, for example, you may need a teaching license. To work in a language school as an English teacher you might need a TEFL certification. In some cases, private schools also have the authority to hire teachers based on experience alone, so you may not need qualifications at all! A good place to start is by researching the kind of teaching you want to get into and taking a look at what schools in that sector ask from their teachers. What are the working hours like in private schools? If you’re working in a private school your working hours might fall outside the standard 9â€"5. If you teach extracurricular subjects that might mean that your classes happen at lunchtime, evenings, and weekends. There might also be periods of the year, such as school holidays or before exam season, where there is increased demand for your classes. Even if you work in a private school, it might be written into your contract that you need to work the occasional weekend to take kids on trips or supervise out-of-hours activities. What’s the pay like for teachers in private schools? Pay for teachers in private schools really depends on how well-funded that private school is. In some cases, you’ll find that the pay is significantly higher and the school is much better resourced than in a public school. In other cases, they might only have part-time positions for teachers and your pay could fluctuate according to demand for your lessons. Remember, private schools are businesses and there are good and bad business managers out there. This could affect your salary and working conditions. Make sure you do your research before you sign up to work with any private school. Look up online reviews and try to talk to as many teachers who work there as you can to get a realistic idea of what the working conditions and pay are truly like. I’m still not sure whether I’d be better suited to teaching in public or private schools! Well, the good news is there’s nothing to say you can’t do both! There are plenty of TEFL teachers who work abroad in private schools and then return home to get qualified to work in public schools. There are also plenty of public school teachers who get itchy feet and decide to take their career overseas by teaching in private TEFL academies or international schools. You might also find that hopping between public and private school systems helps you advance your career by allowing you to pick up new skills and apply for new positions and promotions. So, keep an open mind. You might find that the perfect choice for you is a blend of both public and private school teaching.

Heres a Tip, Go Ahead and Tip

Here's a Tip, Go Ahead and Tip Uploaded to Flickr by: Giorgio Montersino Weve all been there. Youre with some friends at a restaurant, and it seems as though your server has more important things to do than take care of you, even if youre the only table in their section. Or youre at a hotel, and the valet brings out your car, and hes holding out his handDoes he want a high-five? Why is he staring at me? Say youre out on the green and the beer girl comes up, shes not looking for handouts, shes just genuinely nice, and great at her job. That pizza guy is soaking wet from the rain, and a few minutes late, but your pizza is still hot and delicious. All of these people are working hard, even if you dont think so. And all of them have motives for staying at the low-paying jobs. So go ahead and tip them. According to a survey CouponCabin.com, 45% of adults leave a tip of 10% or less, even nothing if they feel the service was  sub-par. I mean, I understand being upset with a waiter or waitress. I once left a restaurant because I had been sitting down for a good 15 minutes without anyone even coming up to me and saying, Im really busy but Ill be right with you, or something of that nature. Ive had waitresses come check on me never, even when the group I was with were her only customers. Ive had a waiter bring my friend something completely different from what she ordered. Ive had straight-up rude servers. Trust me, I would love to not tip them. But, you have to realize that they dont get paid much. The US wage for tipped workers is $2.13, minimum wage is normally $7.25. And you may be thinking, Oh, but they get lots of tips. Heres the thing, you and everyone else think that, but nobody actually tips! I have multiple friends in the food industry, and they hardly get by. And then there are people like me. Im on an unpaid internship, and there are times where I serve people food, beer, and ice cream. People would come up multiple times, and not even give me a dollar. Im happy just to get a thank-you! Now, granted, its not a huge city, but still, when youre getting food and drinks for free, you should tip your server. You should tip that valet guy, the cart girl, the guy holding your pizza, and even that not-so-friendly-waitress. As trite as it sounds, you dont know their lives. They could be struggling to get through school, or just trudging through life. They could be trying to raise a family, or helping their parents. Times are tough, and people can use anything they can get. Dont be overly frugal!
