Teaching Yourself by Teaching Yourself - 3 Tips

Teaching Yourself by Teaching Yourself - 3 TipsIf you're going to consider using a personal tutor, you will need to decide on whether to hire a tutor to come in and do all the tutoring or whether you want to try to teach yourself. The latter is more difficult, but here are some ideas for how to do it.* Want to teach yourself? While it might be tempting to figure out some strategies that will teach yourself the whole process, don't get yourself into this trap. Instead, look at these tips. First, look at the lesson. If you're not familiar with it, know that this is the point where you'll be experiencing the full effect of the tutoring session.* The most important thing is that you are completely comfortable with what you're doing. This is the part where you'll be teaching yourself. Do this by putting yourself in the tutoring situation. Do this even before you look at the curriculum, find out who's giving the lesson, or even get to the point where you can make a request to be in the roo m for the lesson. It will make the experience easier.* Remember that this student is new. Make sure that you address them as such and avoid having tense interactions or talking back to them. Keep things flowing smoothly, but avoid interactions that show hostility.* Feel comfortable with asking questions. Not all questions will be helpful. Be aware that when you're teaching yourself, you'll be accountable for your own actions. It is important to remain focused and prompt so that you can use the lesson to your advantage.* Ask questions about the lesson. You want to be able to ask whatever you want. If you're comfortable asking questions, then you can make progress. Beforehand, ask a teacher for advice.As you can see, there are three levels to teaching yourself, even before you ask how to teach yourself the lessons. If you think you're ready, then take action and give yourself a tutor!

Do Video Games Cause ADHD

Do Video Games Cause ADHD Do an online search for causes of ADHD and youll find plenty of discussion about video games being a driving factor in the rising number of kids being diagnosed with ADHD each year. With so many people weighing in on the causes of ADHD, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. Lets start by talking about why people suspect that playing video games leads to the development of ADHD. In general, this idea stems from the belief that video games train the brain to focus only on activities that involve a high level of stimulation. Almost every parent of a child with ADHD has observed a big difference in their childs ability to focus when theyre playing video games versus when theyre doing just about anything else. When kids with ADHD are playing video games, they can be so focused that it almost seems like they dont have ADHD at all. So, its natural to wonder if playing video games has altered their ability to focus on anything that does not involve a high level of stimulation. But does existing research support the notion that video games cause ADHD? Overall, the answer is no. Time and time again, studies point primarily to genetic causes of ADHD, with a role for other environmental influences like prenatal factors or exposure to lead or other toxins during childhood. That said, there are numerous studies suggesting that excessive video game playing (usually defined as more than one or two hours per day) can make ADHD symptoms worse for kids who already have an ADHD diagnosis and cause higher levels of oppositional behavior. Why would video games make ADHD symptoms and oppositional behaviors worse? Interestingly, its not really the video games themselves that are to blame. Its the difficulty that kids with ADHD, and their parents, have with monitoring and moderating the use of video games. Once kids with ADHD start playing video games, they typically become hyperfocused, so much so that they have a hard time stopping when its time to do something else. This means that they: Are more likely than kids without ADHD to play video games late into the evening, leading to insufficient sleep. Study after study shows that poor sleep makes symptoms significantly worse for kids with ADHD. Are more likely to have conflicts with their parents. The challenges that parents have with trying to monitor and limit their childs video game playing often leads to serious conflicts between parents and kids with ADHD. Over time, these conflicts escalate and take a toll on family relationships. Whenever family relationships are negatively impacted, oppositional behavior increases. Experience greater opportunity costs. Playing video games excessively comes with what psychologists refer to as opportunity costs. Every minute that a child spends playing video games is a minute that they are not spending engaged in another activity. When the missed activity includes an opportunity to play with other kids offline, then they have missed a chance to improve their social skills. When the missed activity is related to academics (like reading, participating in an after-school science program, etc.), then theyve missed an important opportunity to improve their academic skills. When the missed activity is something physically active, then theyve missed an opportunity to get exercise that would help keep ADHD symptoms in check throughout the day. Over time, these missed opportunities accumulate and lead to ADHD symptoms and functional deficits that are worse for kids who play video games excessively than kids who dont play video games or only play them in moderation. So, knowing that playing video games dont cause ADHD, but can make ADHD symptoms worse, what should parents do? Should they keep their child from playing video games altogether? There isnt really a one-size-fits-all answer to this question. If a child already plays video games regularly, can they play in moderation without constant arguments and negotiations with their parents? If thats the case, then a moderate amount of video game play (for example, 30 minutes a day or limiting video games to one hour a day on the weekends) should be fine. If this is not the case, and parents find that their child is only interested in playing video games, doesnt seem to find anything else interesting or enjoyable, or there is a high level of conflict at home around video games, then playing in moderation might not be an option at least not right now. In these situations, I highly recommend that parents work with a mental health professional to figure out a plan for eliminating video games for a s pecified time (somewhere from 3-6 months) before gradually reintroducing video games with a very clear set of ground rules. It can be very challenging to make these changes successfully if your child has been playing video games excessively. If you are concerned about the impact that video games are having on your child and your family, then reach out to a mental health professional for help. ABOUT DR.

What its really like to teach English in Japan A teachers perspective

What it’s really like to teach English in Japan A teacher’s perspective Teaching English in Japan is unlike teaching, well, anywhere else in the world. Not only is it a country full of magnificent sites â€" both natural and historic â€" but it also has a rich culture with many beautiful customs. While we have previously covered a few tips and tricksfor getting ready to teach English in Japan, our team here at Teach Away wanted to dive deeper into how to best prepare for teaching English in Japan. While country research is key to understanding your next home away from home â€" and tips and life hacks are important to creating convenience in your day to day â€" we believe there is nothing like learning from other teachers’ personal experiences to truly prepare you for your next adventure. That’s why we spent some time getting to know Alex Barnes from Benesse BE studio. We wanted to learn what took him all the way from North Carolina to Japan to teach English to some very little and very special young learners. Alex’s Story Originally from North Carolina, USA, Alex Barnes studied Japanese at university, which is when he first became interested in this beautiful country. It wasn’t until he started tutoring Japanese exchange students in the English language that he really found his passion for teaching English. This work led him to eventually move to Japan, where he has been working in the English teaching industry since 2011. His success and life there has been so rewarding that he is now keen to share his experiences with others thinking about, or already looking into, teaching English in Japan. He told us: “I’m really interested in sharing with others how [teaching] English works, and I feel like I learned a lot more about my native language by teaching it.” When Alex started applying for teaching positions in Japan, he had a variety of interview experiences. He found that some interviews were information sessions followed by group interviews, sometimes involving quite a bit of travel. Whether in a group or individual setting (or both), interviews usually involved a recruiter giving an explanation of the company and job. Then applicants were often asked to model part of an English lesson. One unique thing that Alex did during this recruitment process, which really helped him stand out from his peers, was preparing some sample lesson plans and teaching materials ahead of time. That way, he was ready in case he was required to use his own material. “Eventually, I accepted a position for an English conversation school in a city called Tsukuba, about one hour outside of Tokyo,” says Alex. He was there for a while before he took a position with a company that had a focus on teaching English to young learners in Japan. “I started at Benesse BE studio in May 2018. I was brought in to head up training, observations, and employee care for the Instruction Section,” he says. He notes that “since BE studio is focused on teaching children, especially younger learners, the training and school atmosphere is very fun. Games, songs, and crafts are a big part of lessons, so teachers that enjoy these types of activities and enjoy teaching young children are the kind of people working here. Teachers might have a lot of students, but schools tend to be small, so a typical work environment is more personal and friendly than many large private conversation schools or public schools.” Alex was a quick study and soon settled into his life at BE studio, a company that he says “has a different company culture and lesson style. I was pleasantly surprised that BE studio places a lot of importance on employee care and communication with instructors. We also have regular workshops to improve teaching skills, and because new and experienced teachers come to share ideas, it’s a very supportive environment.” Alex explains that many of the large companies in the industry don’t have the time or resources to see instructors often after initial training. Usually, this means that the head office only gets involved when a teacher, or their school, have a problem. The philosophy at BE studio is different, however, and Alex tells us that the staff are very committed to continuing to support teachers and building their teaching skills long term. This kind of work environment was exactly what Alex needed and hoped for, as it lends itself to a long career. Some of the foreign employees at the company have been working there for more than 20 years! Alex did say that teaching English to young learners in Japan may not be a great fit for everyone. “This may seem self-obvious, but you need to enjoy working with younger children. Some people think that they’ll have a good time, but find the job not to their liking when they actually have to teach children every day,” Alex says. “If you love working with kids of various ages, you’ll be fine.” Teaching English to young learners in Japan is definitely a unique experience. Alex says of his work: “you’ll often find that kids have high enthusiasm for English and want to involve fun in the lessons. That’s not to say you won’t find that with adult students. Many beginner adult students will enjoy games and learning English as well, even if the type of enthusiasm is different from children. The biggest difference is probably in how you approach teaching those students. When teaching kids, you will have to take into account their personality and learning style more often. Whereas teaching adults is often focused more on their goals and purpose for studying English.” Alex tells us that it is extremely rewarding work for him: “When you see the ‘oh, now I get it’ look on a student’s face, or a parent tells you their child had a conversation with foreign tourists last weekend, or a student finally passes the English test they’ve been studying for, it makes it all worth it.” For Alex, teaching English to young learners in Japan with a company like BE studio was a dream come true. He was fulfilled in his work, his company was supportive and he could see a clear career path for himself that would allow him to stay in the country he fell in love with as a University student. That said, when it comes to embarking on teaching English as a foreign language career in Japan, it’s best to understand what to expect. Alex’s main advice for those reading his story is setting expectations of working for a Japanese company. “You have to take everything with a grain of salt and manage your expectations. Step one is accepting the major differences between working in Japan and working, in say, the US or Canada.” He says it’s important to not only really understand the country’s culture, but to specifically be prepared for a very different working culture. That’s the best way to set yourself up for success. Preparing for the little things After learning first-hand from Alex’s success story for working and living in Japan, we began to see that sometimes it’s the smallest things in life that can really trip you up. Based on his experiences, here are four things to consider before your boarding call. Paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork Before you’ve even left on your trip, make sure to have all your paperwork in order. The last thing you want is to travel for 15+ hours only to discover that you need a certain form signed by someone back home! When you first arrive in Japan, there is naturally going to be a bit of running around getting this, that and the other thing. Alex’s sage advice is: “Make sure to prepare well for initial costs as much as possible. Getting through all the paperwork (city hall, phone contracts, etc.) can be frustrating, but you just need to have patience.” This part of the process is certainly not unique to Japan. When it comes to paperwork and settling in, relocating anywhere to teach English abroad is going to require some calming deep breathing techniques. But Alex adds one key tip for arriving in Japan: “after you’re all set up, find your closest 100-yen store (think dollar store); you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how many everyday goods you can buy there!” Learn the language Kajsa, another English teacher at BE studio, says that what surprised her the most when she arrived in Japan is “how little people speak English.” While being fluent in Japanese was definitely an asset for Alex Barnes, it’s not necessarily required in order to be fully prepared for life in the country. That said, knowing a handful (ok, maybe a few more than a handful) of key Japanese phrases will definitely be handy. It’ll help you get oriented and manage some of those day-to-day tasks, which can seem insurmountable when faced with the inability to communicate in the local language. Check out these great resources for learning some Japanese before you take off: Japanese Phrasebook Dictionary Memrise Duolingo Get to know the culture You could probably read endlessly about Japanese culture to try to understand everything this amazing country has to offer. Reading up on Japanese cultural practices on our blog is one place to start. Or you could do what Erin, another BE studio teacher, did before her move: “I mostly prepared by checking out videos about living and working in Japan.” But in her experience, it seems that it’s best not to take everything you hear about Japan too seriously. She says: “There was some content that didn’t match what I actually experienced. For example, they talked about manners in Japan a lot, like not eating and walking at the same time, but I see people doing that all the time.” As for Alex Barnes, he says that based on his experience in Japan, “life is very comfortable, the food is great, and the people are polite and helpful. The culture is very different from back home, but that’s what drew me to Japan in the first place.” Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. What it’s like working in Japan Where Alex thinks you might find the biggest shock, and where he indeed was perhaps most challenged, was adapting to the work culture in Japan. For example, if you’re like us and roll into the office at 9:01, then you’re going to need to rethink your approach to punctuality in order to be successful in a Japanese work environment. Alex kindly warned us that “Japanese employees typically arrive at least 15 minutes before their shift starts, and showing up only a few minutes before work starts, or being right on time, is considered late.” He explained that for Japanese people, work time is paid time. Therefore, they believe that everyone needs some time to catch a breath and get ready for their shift: “The main idea is that everything is prepared and you are actually ready to start working when the shift time begins.” In addition, Japanese people like to keep their workplace tidy â€" not that you can blame them! No one likes a messy desk; it’s distracting. In Japan, Alex says “many workers place a lot of importance on cleaning the work area and expect everyone to contribute.” While he didn’t technically have to contribute, what he discovered was that “it made relationships with my co-workers so much better once I started pitching in with the cleaning.” Alex also noted about his job: “In the Eikaiwa (English conversation school) industry specifically, it’s important to remember that you’re working for a business; it’s not 100% teaching lessons. You might be asked to hand out fliers or help promote the school in similar ways. So as long as you keep a flexible attitude about assigned tasks, you’ll avoid a lot of problems and have better relationships with Japanese co-workers.” These tips might seem very specific, but as our friends at BE studio reminded us, in Japanese culture, not everything is communicated directly, so you need to learn to ask the right questions. As we mentioned in our article about teaching young learners in Japan, the presence of foreigners is quite limited, which means the average person has fairly low exposure to different ways of doing things. We suggest taking the time to really read up on what to expect. Because the more you know, the better prepared you’ll be. Find a community! Speaking of getting prepared, there is nothing like having a support network to ensure you’re in the know and set up for success. There are definitely going to be many other English teachers just like you, who you can meet and learn from. Don’t underestimate the kindness of strangers. We learned this from another BE studio teacher named Mary Kate, who shared with us her biggest surprise in Japan: “People have been really willing to help a lot. I was surprised by how helpful everyone wanted to be. People just come up to you and ask if you’re doing okay, or if you need anything.” If you want to make some friends before you leave, you can join the Teach Away Community Facebook Group to connect with other English teachers getting ready to ship out. Then you can plan to meet up with them when you arrive. Happens all the time! To wrap it up In short: make sure you’re as prepared as possible! That includes everything from understanding your workplace, to ensuring you have your TEFL certificate for authentication purposes. A TEFL is not always necessary, but a really great way to get prepared for teaching English abroad. Of course, one person’s experience can be very different from another’s. We urge you to read up on Japan and learn as much as possible before deciding to explore opportunities for teaching English abroad. Even for Alex, it wasn’t a totally clear path: “I didn’t know completely that I wanted to teach English overseas. I knew I wanted to work in Japan and use the Japanese language in my job long term, but I was open to the idea of working in other industries in the future. However, I found that teaching became a passion for me, and working my way up to training felt like a natural progression from my love of teaching. While being involved in training and employee development satisfied my desire to teach, I also studied Japanese with the intention of using it for work. With my current position, I really enjoy the challenge of using Japanese on a daily basis, and I’ve warmed to a management position more than I would have thought when I first came to Japan.” He admits that: “My experience might be a bit rare specifically as a foreign manager, but those who do move up here are the ones who are dedicated to learning the language and accepting and working with cultural differences in the workplace, which is likely true in any country.” Regardless of your career path, teaching English in Japan can be one of the most important and valuable things you can do for your future. As Alex told us in his interview, “those I’ve talked to who made careers in other industries or careers back home have said that the transferable, non-teaching skills they learned here came in handy in unexpected areas. In addition to people who have used teaching or Japanese language skills in work back home, skills such as customer service, content creation, and intercultural communication have often opened doors to a variety of careers for many people I have met through work.” Ready to teach English abroad in Japan?

An English tutor Montréal may even require a bachelor's degree or a university degree. There are also many universities in this city that offer courses in teaching English as a second language.There are plenty of jobs out there for people who are English speaking, but don't have any work experience. One job that is very good for someone who doesn't have experience is a correspondence course position. Many companies in Montréal offer translation, which is a form of correspondence course, but they hire international students and business people. The job is typically five hours per week, but at the end of the day you receive your salary. These are perfect for people who want to work from home and work flexible hours.An English teaching job in Montréal doesn't have to mean spending all of your time in the classroom, either.

The Role of Tutoring in Catching Those College Grades

The Role of Tutoring in Catching Those College GradesThe grade inflation of today's classrooms has prompted many students to find more satisfying ways to spend their time. A growing number of American students find that they do not have the patience to sit through a long essay or a monotonous lecture in order to achieve a high grade. Instead, they will find that tutoring their classmates or fellow students is a better alternative to reaping what they have sown.Campus tutoring can serve as a kind of advertising for those college students who are motivated to work hard and take on more challenges. All of a student's work will be reviewed by an experienced tutor and he will be expected to follow every instruction exactly as if the student had been right there with him. With such scrutiny in mind, students can expect to pay a little more to gain that much-needed C. Some colleges and universities may also offer summer courses, however, and these students will usually be assigned an assist ant to help them complete the coursework. Such tutors are also likely to be more flexible in their assessments.Another way to combat grade inflation is to tutor one's own classmates. Many students simply feel that they are being treated unfairly by the instructor and they will seek out help. These students may also get creative with their assignments, writing as many papers as possible in order to make it appear that they are completing more than they actually are. When they see that their grades are falling short, they will find that they can do a great deal of editing on their own and, possibly, turn in papers that are more polished than those written by their teachers.Tutoring in your community is another way to ensure that your child gets a good grade even when she does not want to do so. Sometimes parents are unaware that their children may feel self-conscious about taking tests and quizzes that others take for granted. Parents may find that their child is more comfortable taki ng online tests or getting help from a tutor online. Though many parents might worry about the expense of having their child take tests, doing so online will cost parents less money than enrolling their child in expensive testing centers.Tutoring is no longer limited to only college campuses. Older children and adults will often look for a way to earn a little extra money, especially since home tutoring can be very affordable. Online tutoring could even be an alternative for mothers who wish to work outside the home.Summer course or distance tutoring can also provide a chance for those students who want to earn a higher grade even if they do not have the motivation to spend the extra time or money. Online tutoring allows those students to work at their own pace, without having to worry about a deadline or attending class on a regular basis.Tutoring is an important aspect of educational success and should not be ignored. When it comes to extra grade inflation, tutoring can be one of the best ways to do it. Whether a student feels uncomfortable or enjoys tutoring others, she will benefit greatly by knowing that she has someone else who understands the classroom environment.

Bowmans Capsule Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace

Bowmans Capsule Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace The bowmans capsule is a part of the filtration system .The outer layer of the Bowmans capsule consist of single layer of squamous epithelial cells.The inner layer of the Bowmans capsule is the visceral layer that along with the endothelium of the glomerulus forms an endothelio capsular membrane. Kidneys are the excretory organs in human beings. Each kidney is made up of millions of nephrons. Each nephron is composed of spherical structure called Malphigian body and a convoluted tubule. Malphigian body consists of a large double walled cup called Bowmans capsule enclosing a network of capillaries called glomerulus. The inner layer of Bowmans capsule is formed of specialized epithelial cells called podocytes. A podocyte meets the basement membrane only by a processes called the foot cells which have 25nm gaps, the slit pores or filtration slits. The space between the outer parietal layer and the inner epithelial layer is called capsular space. A central network of blood capillaries called glomerulus is almost entirely surrounded by the Bowmans capsule. The blood flows through the glomerulus under high pressure .The reason for this great pressure is that the efferent arteriole (outgoing arteriole ) is narrower than the afferent (incoming) arteriole .This high pressure causes the liquid part of the blood to filter out from the glomerulus into the funnel shaped cavity of the bowmans capsule and from there to the renal tubule. This filtration under extra ordinary force is called ultra-filtration.
