How to Open an Act Tutoring Business

How to Open an Act Tutoring BusinessIf you want to open an act tutoring business, the first thing you will need is an act tutor training course. Once you have this course, you can then begin your act tutoring business by looking for students in your area who are interested in learning English. When you make a list of these students, you can then arrange for some tutors to be hired in order to get the job done.Once you have obtained a list of candidates, you need to then go ahead and make a list of who would be best suited to be your tutor. This could be anyone of your family members, or someone you know that is willing to spend the money to learn the language. However, it should be someone you can trust because you will be spending a lot of time with them.Once you have decided who you would like to be your tutor, don't force them to do it. Most students are not going to want to do something that they know that you do not want them to do. If you are only having students come in once a week, then you may find that many of them are not interested in learning the language. You will need to find a way to maintain their interest so that they come back for more lessons.After you have determined who you would like to be your tutor, go ahead and contact him or her and schedule an appointment. Do not just call up and request for a lesson right away. First, you need to decide if this is a person that you want to go through the act tutoring training course with. Once you are sure that this is a person that you would want to learn with, then you will then be able to schedule a time when you would like to learn English with the person.After the lesson, you will then be able to determine how you would like to handle the lesson. For example, if it was an individual that you would be teaching a group of students, then you may choose to follow this individual's lead and do the lesson differently. Another option is to follow the instructor's lead and use this individual's techniq ue for one lesson and then switch to using his or her technique for the next lesson.Once you determine how you would like to handle each lesson, then you should choose a book that you will use with this individual to get the most out of the lesson. For example, if you use a book on how to use the phrase 'on top of the world' correctly, then you can then follow that individual's lead and use that phrase correctly throughout the rest of the lesson. The important thing is that you learn from the experience and remember to get better at whatever technique you are using.It is possible to open an act tutoring business and learn the language, but you will need to be patient and follow the instruction set forth in order to become successful. Although it takes some time to develop rapport and get to know someone, you will be surprised how quickly you will see results when you learn the language.

Reasons Your Child is Frustrated With Reading Comprehension

Reasons Your Child is Frustrated With Reading Comprehension 5 reasons why reading comprehension frustrates your child Reading comprehension is one of the most important subjects a young student will take, but its also one of the most difficult. Learning to read starts with basic ABCs and ends with a full understanding of what is happening to a character in a particular story or how to pull out important information from a text. Students who master reading comprehension will often find that their educational experience is much more fulfilling and less stressful but, they have to struggle through different elements of this learning process from time to time our Irvine reading tutors are here to help your child with their reading comprehension. 1.   An ongoing subject Many young learners become frustrated with reading comprehension because it’s something that takes a long time to master. They dont get the satisfaction of completing a difficult task straight away because it takes years to become a great reader. One way to remedy this is to break up the different learning elements into steps. If students can be congratulated on mastering different elements of reading comprehension, they feel good about themselves and have the energy to continue learning (READ: 5 Ways to Make a Biography Report Fun). 2. New vocabulary Almost no student will enjoy looking up vocabulary words in a dictionary or online. However, this is something many students will have to do to expand their knowledge base. Some students may be able to pick up the general meaning of a word in context but, eventually, there will be a word that just makes no sense at all. This is one of the more frustrating elements of reading comprehension but learning about new words is one of the best ways students can become successful readers. One way to help students deal with new terminology is to have them learn just a few new words at a time. Looking up five or six words isnt so bad but tackling a list of 20 or 30 words can be overwhelming. 3. Its taking away from their free time Nothing will make students enjoy reading less than watching other kids play outside while theyre working on comprehension. Although students who are struggling will likely need extra help, its important to make this time efficient and still allow time for a kid to exercise and play with friends. If a student has a reasonable homework schedule, theyre more likely to appreciate the importance of what theyre doing without digging their heels in and refusing to work. 4. Dry subject matter Young students will come across a lot of dry subject matter when it comes to learning to read. Although the information found within this subject matter can be extremely important to their overall education, it can frustrate students who are struggling with reading. When students are still learning to read, or just honing those complex comprehension skills, its essential they have access to characters and topics that are interesting to them. If they love baseball, they should read all about famous baseball players. If they think bugs are fascinating, then they should read about caterpillars and beetles. When students have a thirst for knowledge, theyre more likely to work through basic reading issues so they can discover that wealth of information. 5. Reading makes them nervous Many students avoid working on reading comprehension because theyre nervous about mispronouncing a word or being made fun of by a peer. This prevents so many students from speaking up in class and asking a question. One way parents can deal with this is by building up their childs self-esteem through positive reinforcement or working with an educational consultant to help them learn how to sound out words, write a summary, or increase their overall comprehension. Once a student is confident in their reading comprehension skills, they are more likely to persevere and become successful.

Sprucing up Meals on a Budget

Sprucing up Meals on a Budget Image via pexels.com Grilled Cheese A grilled cheese sandwich is one of the simplest meals you can make without breaking your bank; all you really need is two slices of bread and cheese. The simple recipe of bread and cheese gets old after a few tries, and there are various ways to make your grilled cheeses look and taste like something you could pay money for at a restaurant. Adding meat like grilled chicken breast or honey baked ham to the sandwich makes the meal more filling and adds protein that college students tend to skimp out on. The cheese often melts faster than the meat can thoroughly warm up, so try heating the precooked meat in the microwave before adding it to the sandwich. If you love barbecue, try slathering the meat with barbecue sauce, fusing a grilled cheese and BBQ pulled pork sandwich. Another more vegetarian-friendly option is to change up the butter and/or spreads you use in your grilled cheese. Instead of using regular butter on your bread to give the sandwich a golden crispiness, try adding herb-infused spreads, such as apricot garlic butter. Consider adding basil pesto to the inside of the grilled cheese, adding more flavor to each bite. Ramen Ramen is the infamous g0-to option for inexpensive and convenient dining for college students. Add hot water, wait a few minutes, and you have something to hold you over until your next meal. However, after multiple meals consisting of ramen out of a package, the single packet of seasoning will get boring. The best option to making ramen more filling is to add protein, whether it be chicken breast, beef, or an egg. Make the unhealthy meal a little more healthy by adding fresh vegetables to the ramen; just use whatever is in season or cheapest, like mushrooms, spinach, or green onions. Enhance the seasoning packets or forgo them altogether by adding your own seasonings. For a spicy kick, theres gochujang, red chili flakes, sriracha, or Tapatío. For a more savory flavor, there is Japanese curry powder, miso paste, or fish sauce. Theres also the option to skip out on the traditional ramen preparation method by using the packaged noodles for a variety of recipes, including pad thai. Image via pixabay.com Potatoes Potatoes are a personal favorite and staple to a grocery shopping list. They can be bought in bulk and can be prepared in various ways. Dice potatoes and toss them in vegetable/olive oil and a mix of garlic salt and pepper, and leave them to bake in the oven. These are an easy side to baked/grilled chicken and steamed vegetables. Avoid dropping a few dollars on fries; several visits add up and leave you unaware of how much money youre putting aside for something as simple as an order of fast food fries. Instead of dicing your potatoes, slice them to your preferred length and width to make french fries. Trying picking up chorizo during your next shopping trip to make papas con chorizo. Complete the quick meal with a sunny-side-up egg and a tortilla. Spam Meat packaged in a can may be suspicious at first glance, but the price and the convenience are enough to overcome any beginning suspicions. The precooked and preserved meat is easier on a college budget as it can be bought in bulk and used over an extended period of time due to the prolonged expiration date. One of the most common ways of incorporating Spam into a meal is making spam musubi   a slice of spam, rice, and sauce wrapped in seaweed. Spam musubi is convenient for students that are on the go; make it in bulk and you will be set for several meals and be able to take said meals to class, study sessions, or work. Another way to add Spam into your meals is to replace it with other forms of meat, which are often more expensive. Add diced Spam into your scrambled eggs or omelets, or use it as another ingredient for your fried rice.

Teacher talks Teaching ESL to kids vs. adults

Teacher talks Teaching ESL to kids vs. adults Dave Stewart is a former ESL teacher who currently works as a Placement Coordinator for the Explore Program in China. He has oodles of teaching experience and has spent three and a half years in South Korea teaching children, followed by a year teaching adults in China. He’s in a unique position to discuss the pros and cons of teaching adults versus children, as well as to give a little insight into the differences between teaching English in China and South Korea. In this two-part blog series, we talk about everything from cultural differences to classroom management techniques. There’s a wealth of information in there about teaching in China with loads of ideas about how to manage the differences between teaching adults and kids. Why did you switch from teaching kids to adults? I’d moved home at the time and was struggling to find a job teaching ESL in Vancouver. I had a CELTA certificate, so I ticked most of the boxes, but most of the positions here required someone who could teach adults. I found that employers were concerned that most of my experience was with kids in Korea. It wasn’t really the right sort of experience for the ESL roles that were available in Canada. I tried a few part-time positions but found it hard to make the transition. It became quite clear that there were some big differences between teaching adults and kids. Like many teachers, I realized one of the best ways to get enough teaching experience with adults was to find a country where I could teach adults for a solid year. Moving to China, gave me the chance to improve my adult-teaching skills and figure out ways to translate my experience teaching kids to build adult-friendly lessons. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. Can you outline some of the differences between teaching adults and kids? Some of the differences between teaching ESL to adults and children are pretty obvious, but it can be hard to imagine the full impact of them until you’re faced with a group of adults and realise some of the teaching methods kids enjoy aren’t going to cut it. One of the big differences is the attention span of your students With adults they will sit quietly, so it’s possible to do longer activities, with kids you need short snappy tasks and even then they get bored easily. The little bit of extra time adults will spend working out a problem means tasks can be more challenging than with kids - where often entertainment is a big part of the native English speakers role as an ESL teacher The potential for conflict is greater in a classroom of kids Designing lessons you’ve to worry about stuff like: Is the hyper kid going to knock over the shy kid if we do a kinesthetic activity? Will implementing a points game cause problems? Does this game require too much patience for kids to concentrate on it? And even, do these kids have the motor skills required to do the activity? With adults there just aren’t those worries, usually they will all be able to behave well and work on an activity. Adults appreciate specific grammar takeaways With kids this can fly out the window. They are distracted easily and aren’t likely to be enthusiastic if you start explaining the finer points of grammar. You’ll teach them the same tenses, but you won’t let them know in the same way. With adults I had to outline the class objectives and key takeaways. Adults learners appreciate knowing the value of the class and what they should know by the end of it. With children it can be more of a case of tricking them into learning, coaxing them with games and activities that won’t make them nod off at the desk. Adults can be harder to engage and more passive in the classroom This is a pro and a con, really. It can make speaking activities a bit awkward. As a teacher you need to get comfortable with the silence and realize it doesn’t reflect badly on you as a teacher. You’ve got to negotiate with the students, gently nudge them to speak more and build up trust. Especially with Chinese students, they can be shy or reticent with expressing themselves in a new language. Taking time to build up a rapport with the students is wise. They’re going to need to trust you before they will want to step out of their comfort zones. Kids WILL go berserk Bored children do not a peaceful classroom make. A bored adult might stare blankly at you or take a nap. A poorly-managed classroom can dissolve into utter chaos. Think running, screaming and the stuff of teacher’s nightmares! Teaching adults has less extreme highs and lows Teaching ESL to kids is a rollercoaster. In a single day you can go from an extreme high to an extreme low. Even in a single class! Things can devolve as soon as an activity they don’t like is introduced or boredom creeps in. With adults, you may not get as many highs, but the overall day will be more balanced and easier to plan. You’ll pretty much know what you’re going to face from one class to the next. With kids, the lows can often be parent related. If you’ve got helicopter parenting going on, it’s going to be stressful. I’ve been called into the principal’s office because I had the audacity to tell the students the tomato was a fruit. Apparently this flew in the face of what a parent had said, and I was asked to steer clear of controversial subjects like classifying fruits and vegetables! How does the development of young learners and adult learners differ in the ESL classroom? I guess with kids it’s down to the fact that they progress as people as well as learners. You’re not just seeing them learn English, but you watch them develop social skills. Kids tend to have less respect for the work you’re doing as a teacher. I can remember students crumpling up worksheets I’d spent ages devising, and just tossing them in their bookbags. With adults they treat those assignments like gold, and value your time as a teacher more. They want to be in your classroom. With a few rare exceptions - these are usually people who are being forced to learn English by their bosses - and in that case they will not disturb the class and tend to just be a bit quieter. With adults you can see them really nail the learning goals overtime, whereas kids the whole process can feel a bit more holistic. If adults are invested in the class they will learn, whereas kids might be more interested in what’s for lunch in the cafeteria that day. So, if you teach adults does everything have to be super serious and academic? Not at all, but you do have to build up the rapport with your students slowly. They’re not going to come into the classroom skipping and joking. I definitely toned down the silliness with adults, but I injected some nonetheless. You have to coax that atmosphere you want out of the classroom. I used songs to help them with pronunciation or threw a plush toy around the classroom to get them chatting. Another thing I did was get them to practice the “P” sound by placing a tiny ball of paper on the backs of their hands and getting them to see if their “P” sound was strong enough to blow the ball from their hands. With adults you can still have fun, a lot of the errors they are making are fossilized, so it’s about getting them to practice in a fun way, without it seeming pointless. Kids tend to want to know what they will be doing, Adults like to understand why they are doing it. Can you give an example of how to connect with your adult students and build trust? I still remember one of my first Business English classes in China. I had the students line up like a hockey team and practice handshakes. They really appreciated it, once they got over the embarrassment, and they were cured of limp-wrist syndrome for all future business meetings! The reason this worked was that it was something they could do with a little effort, everyone was in the same boat at the same time, so no one student was called out alone and they had a valuable take away! Is teaching grammar harder with adults? I would say that with adults you really need to know your stuff. I definitely couldn’t imagine teaching them without a background that involved some kind of TEFL training. Students tend to know the grammar better than you would as a native speaker because they’ve learned it by rote. That means that confident students will challenge you on grammar, so you need to know how to respond. Where are adult learners weak when it comes to learning English? The adult learners are generally strong at grammar and writing but fall down when it comes to listening and speaking. So I would focus on the latter two skills. There’s apprehension among students about coming across as seeming silly or stupid. That’s one of the main reasons they don’t speak up. Once you get over that hump, teaching ESL to adults can be rewarding. You’re not there to be a grammar-monster, merely to encourage them and build up their confidence in expressing themselves in English. What kind of ESL teachers do you think are better suited to teaching adults? It’s definitely a better fit for quieter teachers who are reluctant to be get silly in the classroom. Kids need to be entertained, but teaching adults can give you space to be a little more reserved. It’s not as physical a role in that sense, with kids you might find yourself working a lot harder to manage the classroom. I think someone patient and detail orientated is the best fit for adult learners. What does the average day look like teaching English to adults abroad? I always found the early mornings in Korea a strain. I’m not a morning person, so the later hours in China suited me. My day started after noon and I would have an easy morning, get caught up on Netflix and emails then head into school. My first hour was always a planning period, I could look through the day’s lessons, print supplements and activity sheets. The rest of my day was broken up into three different types of classes. Face-to-face conversation classes with up to 4 students. There were workshops which were regular classes with up to 25 students at a time and life clubs where the students did team-building activities in English. Did you have to design your own lessons and materials? It was a mix, although I found that teaching adults in China was a bit more lenient around lesson planning, I could get more creative. With the kids in Korea I was sticking very rigidly to the books provided and there wasn’t a lot of scope for getting inventive. With the adults I could use the materials provided or, as long as the adults had the same learning outcomes, I could adjust as I saw fit. If you were to teach abroad again, would you choose adults or children? And what country would you pick? I think I would choose adults simply because you end up with more energy at the end of the day. With kids you have extreme highs and lows, which can be draining. With adults, life feels a bit more balanced. I would also go with China, it’s such a big country and there’s a never-ending list of things to do there. In part two, Dave will go into more depth about his time teaching in China. In the meantime, feel free to find out more about the Explore program in China.

Is It Time to Quit Your Job

Is It Time to Quit Your Job Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/write-plan-business-startup-593333/ One major indicator of when it may time to move on is if you are stuck in a rut at your current job. If you’ve been working somewhere for an extended period of time and haven’t had a conversation with your boss about factors like increased benefits, increased pay, a promotion, more lenient hours (this is career-dependent), and so on, then it might be time to think about where your future at that company stands. If this is relevant to you, don’t make any rash decisions. Sit down with your boss and see if you can negotiate any terms of your employment; if your boss is receptive, maybe try and stick it out for a few more months, if not then definitely seek opportunities elsewhere. Know your worth and know that you are a valuable person, both in your work life and personal life. Don’t settle for a job that doesn’t recognize that you deserve to have certain benefits and perks after being such a hard worker. Another indicator that it may be time to look elsewhere for work is if you no longer are enjoying what you are doing at your current workplace. This may be the hardest thing to think about because, at one point in time, you probably thought that this job was your dream job and that you would be there for a while and work your way up higher and higher in the company. However, you have to think about a job similarly to how you think about a relationship. In a relationship, sometimes two people are no longer compatible with one another and they move on. It doesn’t mean that they didn’t treasure their time together, but people change and grow up. This happens in careers also. Sometimes you just outgrow your current work situation and that is okay! Your job experience will always be a part of you, but sometimes you just have to make a change. This doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be a huge career change, but sometimes you just need to have new job experiences. Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/girl-computer-notebook-1064659/ A major sign that it’s time to find a new job is if you are generally unhappy with your current situation. If you are feeling at all sad, anxious, concerned, or just have a general lack of energy in the workplace for a significant period of time, then it’s time to make a change. Work is work, but you should do what you love. If you find it hard to get out of bed in the morning to go to work for a few weeks then something is definitely wrong. If this is the case you need to ask for help and ensure that you don’t do anything that you will regret. Talk to your boss and colleagues about what’s going onâ€"honesty is the best policy. Your co-workers and superiors are there to help you at work and outside of work. This would also be a great time to consult a career counselor and/or a therapist just to ensure that you get to the bottom of what is really going on. Sometimes this can be fixed by just taking some time off, but you need to discuss all of your options before quitting your job, if this ends up being the case. Change is good… it’s scary, but it’s good. It’s okay to contemplate quitting your job and it’s okay to explore your options. If you are thinking about quitting your job, just ensure that you have some sort of financial stability and that you are proactively looking for new opportunities. It might even be helpful to have some job applications sent out before you officially cut ties with your current company. Good luck to all of my readers in their career endeavors!

Animal Cell

Animal Cell Animal cell: An animal cell is known as a form of eukaryotic cell that makes up many tissues in animals. Animal cells are distinct from other eukaryotes, most notably plant cells, as they lack cell walls and chloroplasts. They also have smaller vacuoles. Due to the lack of a cell wall, animal cells can adopt a variety of shapes. A phagocytic cell can even engulf other structures. These cells are of eukaryotic origin and their nucleus is double membrane bound. They also have their DNA within the nucleus unlike the case of Prokaryotic cells. Additionally, they consist of membrane bound cell organelles present in the cytoplasm, and certain cellular structures which are required to carry out basic cellular operations. Cell organelles are involved in wide range of cell activities like production of enzymes or hormones in order to generate energy. Anatomy of animal cell Plasma Membrane: It is a thin, selectively permeable membrane which covers the cytoplasm and is involves and cellular transport. Ribosomes: These are large ribonucleoproteins consisting of RNAs and proteins, ubiquitous in all animal cells, which translate the genetic information stored in the messenger RNA into polypeptides. Endoplasmic Reticulum: It is the largest single membrane bound intracellular compartment. It is an extensive network of closed and flattened membrane-bound structure involved in protein synthesis and post translational protein modification. Golgi complex: It is a single membrane bound organelle and part of endomembrane system. It consists of five to eight flattened membrane bound sacs called the cisternae. The Golgi apparatus is often considered the distribution and shipping department for the cells chemical products. Lysosomes: These are membrane enclosed compartments filled with hydrolytic enzymes that are used for the controlled intracellular digestion of macromolecules. They contain 40 different types of hydrolytic enzymes including proteases, glycosidases, lipases, phospholipases, phosphatases and sulfatases. Mitochondria: It is an energy converting organelle which is present virtually in all eukaryotic cells. They are the sites of aerobic respiration. They produce cellular energy in the form of ATP, hence they are called power house of the cell. Peroxisomes: It is a single membrane bound small organelle present in an animal cell. A major oxidative reaction carried out in peroxisomes is the -oxidation. -oxidation in mammalian cells occur both in mitochondria and peroxisomes. Microtubules: These are hollow, cylindrical structure, present in animal cells and play crucial role in the determination of cell shape and cellular motility. Cilia and Flagella: Eukaryotic flagella and motile cilia have a specialized arrangement of microtubules which are remarkably similar in their organization. A flagellum possesses a central bundle of microtubule called the axoneme, in which nine outer doublet microtubules surround a central pair of singlet microtubules (9+2 arrangement). Centriole: It is a barrel shaped polarized structure made up of microtubules. Centrioles are present in most of the animal cells, called MTOC (microtubule-organizing center). They participate in the process of cell division. Nucleus: The nucleus is the controlling center of eukaryotic cell. It contains most of the genetic material of the cell. It further consists of the following parts: Nuclear envelope: It consists of two concentric membranes called the inner and outer nuclear membrane. The outer membrane is continuous with ER. In contrast the inner membrane carries unique proteins that are specific to the nucleus. The nuclear envelope contains nuclear pores for transport of macromolecules between the cytoplasm and nucleus. Nucleolus: It is a non- membrane bound dynamic body which disappears in the late prophase and reappears in the telophase stage of cell division. It consists of rRNA genes in the form of partly condensed chromatin and ribosomal precursor particles. Chromatin and chromosomes: A chromatin is an organized structure of DNA and protein that is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It contains a single dsDNA in coiled and condensed form. The difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that chromatin is less condensed and extended DNA while chromosomes are highly condensed DNA. The extent of chromatin condensation varies during the life cycle of cells. The light staining, less condensed portions are termed as euchromatin while the darkly stained portions are termed heterochromatin. Animal cell organization: Animal body comprised of trillions of cells. In humans, there are numerous types of animal cells performing different functions. For example, neurons participate in the cell to cell signaling of electrical impulses, red blood cells play role in oxygen transport to various organs and tissues of the body. Different organs have cells specific to their functions like hepatic cells of liver are involved in detoxification while kidney cells are involved in urine filtration.

Just because you don’t conceive as soon as you stop contraceptives or even within the next three months doesn’t mean you have fertility problems. Most doctors don’t speak of fertility problems unless a couple has had sexual intercourse regularly for two years without conceivi ng.For 9 couples out of 10, women become pregnant in the year following the end of contraceptives. For half of the remaining couples, it happens in the second year.
