Organic Chemistry Tutor - Adding Metals to Water

Organic Chemistry Tutor - Adding Metals to WaterIt has been proven that organic chemistry tutor, adding metals to water helps preserve vital nutrients for fish and plants and can even help in removing toxic materials from the water. Even though there are some risks involved with adding metals, there are no known negative effects that could occur to either the fish or to the plant, because of the fact that the metals are not included in the diet of the fish or the plant.Since organic chemistry tutor, adding metals to water, includes other elements, the only way that the toxins will be removed is if they are removed using a carbon dioxide process. The carbon dioxide has to come from another part of the environment and the only other process to remove the oxygen is by using heat.Even though the organic chemistry tutor, adding metals to water, provides the best way to remove the toxic chemicals from the water, you still need to make sure that the water is clean and free of chlorine or an y other chemical byproducts that would be added by the teacher. If these chemicals are found in the water, then there are many issues to worry about.When a teacher recommends a teacher organic chemistry tutor, adding metals to water, they have no idea of the possible consequences. They are probably not aware of the health risks that exist when the chemicals are released into the air or the water. These chemicals would do nothing but have a detrimental effect on your family's health.Most organic chemistry tutor, adding metals to water, have no idea of the health risks that exist, when the other chemicals are used instead of the chemicals to prevent a breakdown of the compounds in the water. There are some chemicals that have some unusual properties and would react with the natural proteins and sugars found in the water, which would result in a buildup of chemicals in the water, causing it to smell and taste very bad.If the organic chemistry tutor, adding metals to water, is not well informed about the toxic nature of the chemical, they are in danger of causing harm to their students and to their own families. This is one of the reasons why you should teach at least two courses, one course on a subject matter that you are very knowledgeable about and one that is not so difficult and requires less explanation.Organic chemistry tutor, adding metals to water should be left to the teachers that are not involved in the search for cures or treatments for cancer. The teacher that takes advantage of organic chemistry tutor, adding metals to water, should be re-educated that the teacher should never start the chemical process of the chemical treatment.

Languages Resources Day

Languages Resources Day On Wednesday May 24th we held a Languages Resource Day for our tutors. We some amazing tutors of French, Spanish, German, Chinese and English as a Foreign Language. Here we have summarised their knowledge and you’ll find links to their resources. Planning your first lesson The first lesson is all about building rapport and making the student feel confident.  Once they show they have knowledge of the language they’ll be more receptive to learning.  Katja explained that when you’re in a one-on-one tutoring lesson introducing role playing characters can be a great way to build a story and help the student to relax. It also brings more people into the conversation so that you can talk about “we” instead of “you” and “me”!  The first lesson is also a great opportunity to get to know the student’s interest so you can use them later.  Lucinda suggested audio visual resources such as watching TED talks so that the tutees can see difficult vocabulary in action.  For younger students Sonia recommended Peppa Pig as the episodes are also available in French and German Find out their aims Students have a variety of reasons for wanting to learn a language so it’s important to understand what they are hoping to get out of the lessons.  Sonia showed us the work books she uses which are specific to each exam board. By using these the students can practice exam techniques and ensure they are prepared. For student’s learning a language for the first time, whether children or adults, Katja said that introducing the culture of the country can enthuse students. Teaching vocabulary through discussions of food, films and products from the language’s culture (or cultures) can be an effective way to inspire enthusiasm for the language, therein aiding the students’ learning memory Get Creative Katja teaches German to students of all ages and finds that games are a fun and creative way for students to learn.  She feels it’s important to get the students up and moving during the lessons as this can help them to remember the rules.  Resources like this can be expensive but can also be easily made at home.  For example she had created a dice and flash cards for story building which were laminated.  Top tip: Laminators can be bought for less than £20 - laminate your resources so that you don’t have to make them again!  You can also adapt classic board games such as Jenga and Snakes and Ladders. Be visual Lucinda expressed the importance of visual aids - especially for younger learners!  She always makes sure that her resources are colourful.  Katie agreed and showed us an amazing grid she uses to build sentences - this can be particularly useful if the student’s native language uses a different sentence structure.  Emma teaches Chinese and finds visual aids extremely important as Chinese characters can be quite tricky to teach.  Her top tips for teaching tones in language is by using a toy car to map the journey of the tones used.  As a the car travels up the hill the tone goes up! Mariota, who has learned Chinese before, agreed that this would be a really fun way to introduce tones without feeling embarrassed. Speak the language It may seems obvious but all of the tutors agreed that the lessons should take place solely in the language you’re trying to teach.  This helps the client to become immersed in the language and get used to inferring the meaning without being explicitly told.  It also ensures that the students get used to failure and really helps with listening exercises.  It can be tough to train the students to do this but they’ll thank you for it later! Go online Online is becoming increasingly popular on Tutorfair and can be a great way to find students outside of your local area and cut down on travel costs.  Luka has written an a  great  blog on teaching online in general but today we discussed teaching languages online.  Lucinda explained that it’s really easy and effective to teach online as you can send over your powerpoint presentations and worksheets beforehand and go through them together.  You can also type sentences via instant message and ask the student to translate.  Katja recommended chatting via video chat on your phone but using your computer to share Google Docs which can be edited together in real time.  The student then has notes to take away from the lesson! That said, Sonia warned that you have to trust the tutee not to cheat when you’re not in the room with them. Do you have any really useful exercises or top tips for language teaching? If so, we would love it if you upload them to our Resource Centre to share with other tutors!

Choose the Proper Title Miss, Mrs. and Ms.

Choose the Proper Title Miss, Mrs. and Ms. Our expert tutor Susan Clark noted that TutorZ does not support the Ms. in the list of female titles. She found the choices of Miss and Mrs. limiting. Despite the risk of coming across as sexist, but in fact because I am from Central Europe, where this distinction does not exist, I admit I was unfamiliar with this female title Ms. When I responded to Susan that the title Ms. may be only a technicality, I received the following decisive response, which is so good I publish it here.  Susan wrote: Not a technicality! You may suppose that, logically, one can be only married or unmarried, by law. What about someone who disagrees with state marriage contracting laws, and therefore is married by intent but refuses to be married by law, for example? Then there is the matter of how a professional person wishes to be represented publicly. Should my students know prior to contracting whether I am married or not? In my view, that is not their business. In past centuries, it was very important for men and courts to know whether a female were virginal. Thus the distinction Miss and Mrs.. The distinction does not exist for a man, who is always Mr., regardless of his level of sexual experience. In the past, if a woman were not virginal, she might be unacceptable for marriage, for example. And a virginal woman would be considered legally the property of her father, thus lacking the rights of adult persons. The outcomes of such bizarre descriptors included that young women branded as witches in Salem, MA in the 17th century could and often did receive the death penalty, without a trial. Or, to be precise, the trial involved being held under water. If the body floated or sunk, she was innocent or guilty I dont remember which was which, so to say! At that time, young women had no legal standing before a court, so could not defend themselves from the witch charge. By contrast, on one occasion, a man was charged with being a witch. Because he had legal standing, he sued his accuser for defamation, won the case, and stopped the entire program of sacrificing young, innocent girls in and beyond Salem, MA. As you are no doubt aware, for many centuries, female herbalists in Europe who knew how to cure medical conditions by using natural remedies were called witches and were burnt at the stake, because the powerful banksters and rulers did not want people cured. The rulers preferred to cull the human population for their own financial benefit; thus, the knowledge of these herbalists represented a danger to their assets. A laborers work would be stolen in part from him/her for the banksters. But an older, disabled, and/or sickly person was considered useless to those whod take a cut of the labor. For population reduction, then, the herbalists remedies were denied people. Anyway, it is important that clients receive the information they need, and not be allowed to discriminate against tutors based on false presumptions based on marital status, age, etc.. Cheers, Susan? To complete Susans elaboration I like to define the title Ms. Wikipedia describes the title Ms as the last name or full name of a woman, intended as a default form of address for women regardless of their marital status. Being a tutoring company I should mention when to use the other titles.  Mr is used for the male gender. There is only one form here.  Females have more choices.  If the woman is married then she is entitled to carry the Mrs.  Unmarried women choose Miss.  Look at the chart to the right. Its a decision tree enabling you to choose the proper title for Mr, Mrs, Miss. ?Having been enlightened by Susan and convinced about its importance TutorZ has changed our software to include the title Ms to our choices ?for the tutor profile. Once again thank you Susan for your insight. Susan or any other writing tutors can be found on the writing search page in Kissimmee, FL.

4 Ways to Make Your Tutoring Session More Approachable

4 Ways to Make Your Tutoring Session More Approachable Tips From a Private Irvine Academic Tutor: 4 Ways to Make Your Tutoring Session More Approachable Tips From a Private Irvine Academic Tutor: 4 Ways to Make Your Tutoring Session More Approachable Many students struggle with the specific structure of a classroom environment. Their chairs are often in rows, and there are four white walls with one dry erase board to look at. This may work very well for some students but will be stifling for others. If students have to come home and work in the same fashion with their tutor, it can be difficult for the child to concentrate. However, theres no specific rule regarding how a tutoring session must be run or what materials the tutor and student use. Because the sessions are generally one-on-one, its possible to create a situation that works for any specific student. 1. Young kids need to move Kids in elementary school cant sit all day and then sit all afternoon; they have to move around and engage physically. If its comfortable to sit on the floor or in a bean bag chair, theres no reason why the session cant be run this way. Some younger children can concentrate better if they are not confined by a desk and chair; they could use a clipboard or lap desk instead. Students using technology to complete their homework could use an iPad instead of a desktop. It’s important to see what works for both the student and educator so this session can be successful but still allow the student to move about (READ: Online Research: Whats Legit?). 2. Students need breaks Older students may be just as happy to sit on a chair at a desk but they may need to take breaks throughout the session. This is especially true when it comes to long (2 or more hours) study sessions that take place before midterms and finals. Its a good idea for the tutor to speak with the student or parent to determine how long the student can concentrate before needing to take a break. If a student tries to trudge through the session without a planned break they may start to zone out during crucial information. Rather, its a good idea to schedule session breaks ahead of time when the the tutor has come to a good stopping point when presenting information. Students who take breaks in the middle of an important concept will often forget what has been said and have to start over. 3. Have a warm up session with a new tutor Younger kids, especially, may feel awkward having a new person in their home. They may or may not understand why they are receiving help and they may or may not be happy about it. If possible, its a good idea to have the tutor spend 10 or 15 minutes with the student before getting into academic material just to talk with them and ask about their day. Additionally, parents may be able to arrange for an introductory session where the tutor comes over and chats with the student for a little bit and asks them a few questions about school and after school activities. When it comes time for serious academic instruction, students will usually respond better to an adult they have developed a good rapport with (READ: 4 Reasons Students Dont Adjust Well to an AP Class). 4. Make technology personable There are several ways that tutors, parents, and students (if they are old enough) can work together to make technology work in their favor. If the student and tutor will be working together over a remote technology platform, its a good idea to get a few things out of the way before the session starts. The student and teacher should both check that their internet connection is adequate and test out different platforms. Some students will use Skype, Google Hangouts, or FaceTime while others will use a company sponsored platform. Either way its a good idea to test out the technology before due dates come up. Additionally, its smart for parents to sit down with their child and figure out how they can configure a virtual classroom that will help engage them. Younger children may need to see their tutor on a separate screen while older students may be satisfied with a small image in the corner of their laptop.
