The Wrath of the Tutoring Chapter

The Wrath of the Tutoring ChapterThe Wrath of the Tutoring Chapter is an animated film based on the novel of the same name by James Patterson. The video is, of course, a serious critique of how the society teaches children to think and reason. And, to be sure, there are some light hearted moments for children and adults alike. However, there is no doubt that it leaves one feeling angry and irritated with the many flaws of the American educational system.The protagonist in the story is Peter, a sixteen-year-old boy who's recently graduated from high school. He's just accepted a job as a tutor in a private school. When he arrives at the private school, he finds that his first day starts early because his classroom is already full of students. In his mind, he expected that since he's not used to the schedule, he would have to prepare and learn on his own time. But, on the first day, he arrives in class at eight o'clock in the morning and has to finish it at nine o'clock.By all accounts, Peter is a very bright child. He is also, however, the kind of person who takes no prisoners and expects a sure-fire way out of any problem or predicament. He is, quite naturally, somewhat self-righteous and unable to admit that he could do something to help. If he needs to look a certain way or dress a certain way, then he'll go ahead and do it himself - even if the way in which he does it doesn't work in the end.Peter's mistakes, of course, eventually get him in a lot of trouble, including being labeled as 'quitter'. His classmates look down on him, and when it turns out that one of them was running a cheating ring, all hell breaks loose. This follows a very simple plot - Peter takes a friend of his to a club that offers cheating services and his friend discovers a cheater. As Peter and his friend begin to chase the cheater down, they realize that the only way to catch the cheater is to get to him first. What follows is a series of events that leave Peter and his friends in grave danger and in danger of losing their jobs.I enjoyed watching this movie and reading the book, James Patterson. They are similar in theme and, as an adult, I found myself asking a lot of questions. The movie and the book are similar in tone, too, so I did wonder how well the writer, James Patterson, would have been able to pull off the similar story lines and situations. Personally, I liked the movie a lot more than the book.Despite the differences between the books and the movie, I still found myself wondering how Patterson was able to weave all the scenes together into one exciting storyline. The main reason is the plot and the characters. Peter, for example, isn't really very interesting as a character. Peter is only interesting as a plot device because he sets the whole thing in motion. The whole concept of the story is set up in Peter's actions.I certainly don't blame James Patterson for his flaws. He's a writer of teen books, so I assume that he hasn't been to school himself. It takes a lot of knowledge to write a story like this. Although James Patterson's story takes a strong stance against teaching children to ignore logic and reason, he certainly doesn't forget about it at all. For those who like to see children treated like adults, this story certainly satisfies.

Intangible Skills Learned in Kumon

Intangible Skills Learned in Kumon Intangible Skills Learned in Kumon So, you’re considering enrolling your kids in Kumon. Maybe they need a little extra help in reading, or you want to get them ahead in math. What a lot of prospective Kumon Parents don’t realize is that their child(ren) will attain intangible skills throughout the program. Kumon doesn’t just develop a solid foundation in math and reading. It also cultivates important work and study skills necessary to succeed in today’s world. We combine advancing their math and reading skills with instructing them how to become even better students. The objective of Kumon is to instill in students the skills and mindset for self-learning. Through continuous Kumon study, students become self-motivated, independent problem solvers. Kumon helps children of all ages: Improve Focus and Concentration. The Kumon Program can help your child improve focus and concentration through daily practice. Your Kumon instructor will identify the “just-right level” for your child(ren), keeping the student(s) engaged and motivated. The Kumon learning materials are designed to build on a series of steps, encouraging self- learning. Cultivate Confidence. Kumon fosters confidence, self-esteem and a love of learning that can last a lifetime. The act of achieving something, no matter how big or small, gives children a sense of accomplishment. With each learning milestone, children develop a belief in their own abilities. With ongoing praise, recognition, rewards, and our curriculum, students can reach their maximum potential. Develop Time Management Skills. Because the worksheet-based program requires daily study, it can instill discipline, and time management skills in your child(ren). Each subject, math or reading, requires about 30 minutes per day. Setting that time aside daily, can become a (positive) habit. Once the habit becomes second nature, confidence and independence naturally set in. Become self-motivated, independent problem solvers. The biggest difference between Kumon and your typical tutoring service is the style of learning. A tutor often sits with a child and explains how to solve a problemâ€"making the student a passive learner. Kumon goes beyond tutoring by actively developing critical thinking skills as children progress independently through a carefully crafted math and reading curriculum. Each lesson is planned and individualized by the Center Instructor for your child(ren). The worksheets are designed to provide examples of the problems to be solved. The student is challenged to follow the example, try to solve the problem on their own and only when they’ve tried, they can ask for “help”. They are learning by doing, not watching. With long term study, problem solving skills often become second nature for Kumon students. If you browse through the Kumon Student Success Stories, you will find many examples of how the intangible skills acquired through Kumon Study can transcend to other areas of a child’s life. Eleven-year-old Jai performs in a youth orchestra and has secured the position of first violin. Morgan, also eleven years old, started a non-profit with her sister to provide treatment for patients with parasitic infections in Africa. At thirteen years old, Hargoun has achieved MVP status for his hockey team. If you read what these students have to say about Kumon, they refer to things like being introduced to goal setting, sticking to something (commitment), self-confidence and time management skills, to name a few. Would you like your child(ren) to develop any or all these skills? In the words of our founder, Mr. Toru Kumon, how about you schedule a free orientation today and “give it a try?”.

Back to the Future Day 2015

Back to the Future Day 2015 Is today the Day Marty McFly arrives when he travels to the future? YES!!! Finally its here! Future is now! Welcome Marty McFly! Hi Doc! Today -October 21st, 2015 is a special day. Its the day to which Marty McFly and Doc Brown travelled from 1985 in their DeLorean time machine in the second film of the Back to the Future trilogy. The filmmakers tried to imagine how 2015 will look like. So, what the movie got right… How many of the futuristic predictions have come true? 1. The prediction about flying cars: Sadly, we still need roads and traffic queues are still big problem. But there is a hope that soon people will fly in their own cars. Inventors developed Transition that is the vehicle that double up as both plane and car. It has space for 2 passengers and will cost around $279,000 when it eventually goes on sale. 2. The prediction about hoverboards: Hoverboard is a nerdy dream of every Back to the future fan. A lot of companies have claimed to have built real working hoverboards. For instance: Californian architect Greg Henderson designed a similar board that floats in mid-air called the Hendo Hoverboard in October last year. I have only one question: Where could I buy it? 3. The prediction about self-tying shoelaces: Who wouldnt want to have a pair of Nike High Tops that automatically tighten and adjust to fit your feet? Canadian inventors come up with the solution. Their Powerlace auto-lacing system lets people tie their shoes easily using their own weight that automatically engages the system’s mechanism. 4. The prediction about smart homes and drones: The number of smart home productsâ€"devices that let you control your lighting, thermostat, or even your crock pot from your smartphoneâ€"is rapidly growing. For example, LG’s Smart Manager fridge lets users order food from the supermarket, while a ‘Maid’ smart oven gives users   instructions and recipes. 5. The prediction about smart glasses: Every one knows that Google was one of the first companies to jump on this particular prediction with its Google Glass headset. It can   make phone calls, show videos and information in the wearers line of sight like in the movie. 6. The prediction about 3D billboards: I have never been faced with a holographic shark appears to leap from the surface. But 3D films are common place today. And Austrian researchers claimed to have cracked the problem of creating giant displays that can show images in 3D without the need for glasses. 7. The prediction about fingerprint scanners: Fingerprint scanners are common place nowadays, especially on phones from the likes of Samsung and Apple. 8. The prediction about video calls: Millions of people use Skype for holding conversations via text messaging, voice calls and video calls. Making calls on a TV is also now possible thanks to the rise of smart television sets. Are you a fan of the Back to the future movies and all of that crazy technology? Do you want to have your own hoverboard. Become an engineer and invent it by yourself! Talk to one of our engineering tutors and make your dreams come true. Happy Back to the Future Day!

Was Elizabeth Being Tutored by Any of Her Friends?

Was Elizabeth Being Tutored by Any of Her Friends?Was Elizabeth being tutored by any of her friends? Was she not receiving any form of formal schooling to teach her the English language or was she left on her own when it came to schooling? In fact did Queen Elizabeth receive tutoring for all those years as you stated and what did they give her?Perhaps you will want to remember that Queen Elizabeth and her family did receive plenty of tutoring at the expense of their father at his private English School. There were other places where she got tutoring like in Brussels during her youth and many more where the papal court heard the reports of her upbringing.Did Queen Elizabeth receive formal education that may have come from someone like Christopher Marlowe who wrote plays, an opera and had he published. He was an eminent writer, poet and astronomer. There is no doubt he had a direct influence on her who used his learning and knowledge to be a better person in life.To determine this clai m on the subject you must know the source of the education and the type of private school it came from. Was it gifted learning from a tutor to Queen Elizabeth and did she learn in a formal setting or was she left on her own when it came to learning or was she left in the classroom during a study period with other students?If you do a search on the internet you can find many pages of information and if you do a search on the internet you will come across sites that claim to have information about the claims about Queen Elizabeth being tutored. One website has more than 2,000 pages of reports and testimonials regarding the claims of this girl.Many of these websites have proof that people are claiming Queen Elizabeth was taught by one of her friends. When it comes to that you can ask yourself if they would make up something if there was no proof to back up their claims.Even if the rumor that the royal heirs have been left in the hands of their friends because of some desire to be indep endent or because they want to be cultured does not hold water then the fact that Queen Elizabeth was left to her own skills and knowledge should not be looked upon as a negative. It shows her mother and father would have done all they could to provide her the best education possible.

How Can You Certify Your Dutch Language Skills

How Can You Certify Your Dutch Language Skills How to Prove You Can Speak Dutch ChaptersThe Case for Learning DutchWhere Can You Take Dutch Classes?Official Language Exams for DutchObviously, if you opened your mouth and started spouting about bitterballen and Hollanse Nieuwe Haring â€" or other traditional Dutch foods in the language of Amsterdam, most people would be convinced that you have a good grasp of Dutch.University administrators might not be so keen to permit your enrolment in their Dutch language programme simply based on your holding forth in that tongue, though... they need actual credentials from a qualified examining board.Where can you get them, now that Dutch A-Levels have been withdrawn?And, are there any Dutch language programmes to major in at any of our universities anymore?That is the topic your Superprof broaches today. Not just the dwindling avenues to certify your Dutch language skills in our country but the fact that, globally, Dutch is rapidly becoming a minor language, a fact that serves nobody well.Least of all avid Dutch speakers l ike you!the most-spoken languages of the world, nor is it widely studied.Furthermore, if you were to seek higher education in the Netherlands, you might be pleasantly surprised to find a multitude of undergraduate and graduate programs conducted entirely in English.And, should you plan on relocating, say, to Utrecht or Rotterdam, you might be able to get by using just your English language skills as more than 80% of the natives can competently converse in English...But none of that does anything for anyone who wishes to gain fundamental knowledge of that centuries-old culture!Fact is, there are many reasons to learn Dutch, some fun and others seriously beneficial â€" besides all of the reasons that tongue enticed you to learn it.Like you, we mourn the dwindling opportunities to study it in-depth in the UK. To that end, we now list where you could find qualified instruction in Dutch vocabulary and grammar.Where Can You Take Dutch Classes?We’ll just get the sad truth about Dutch lan guage studies in our country out of the way right now: every certifying avenue, from GCSE and A-Levels to university degrees, have been withdrawn for 2 reasons:Lack of student interestLack of qualified teachers and examinersOne might put the lack of learners desiring to know this language down to English speakers' apathy toward studying languages in general â€" a sad state of affairs, really!On the other hand, you are living proof that not every Briton disdains to learn a second language, and there are surely more people who, like you, wish to communicate effectively in more than one language.So, perhaps a combination of those two factors mentioned above make for a veritable chicken-and-egg scenario.At least, that might have been the case 25 years ago, when the Internet was in its infancy!In those days, language scholars had no choice but to accept the learning opportunities immediately available to them, or else relocate to where there would be a broader range of choices.Today, tha nks to modern technology, you may study just about any language you could think of in a virtual classroom, Dutch included.In fact, several renowned institutes of higher learning on our island offer online classes in Dutch, the foremost one being University College London.All of their Dutch courses â€" beginner, intermediate and advanced are taught strictly online, on a one-to-one basis.As soon as you sign up for your language class, you will receive your login credentials via email. Once you’ve gained access to their learning portal, you may then avail yourself to your course materials and set your schedule.Each course lasts 12 weeks and you have the option of taking courses concurrently â€" for example, you may sign up for Beginner 1 and Beginner 2, in which case your course duration would be doubled.Their Advanced Dutch course lasts the same amount of time but requires either your completion of their intermediate course or certified Dutch language capability of at least B2 level on the CEFRL scale.Patience, dear Reader: we will soon get to these certifications and how to attain them!Didn't you learn Dutch so you could do more than run through tulip fields? Source: Pixabay Credit:Public Domain PicturesSuccessful completion of this advanced-level course will promote your language level to CEFRL C1... but you will have to test elsewhere to get your official certification.Incidentally, if you truly wish to dive head-first into the history and evolution of the language, you may sign up for their Early Modern Dutch course or, if you are more of an economic bent, their Business Dutch lessons might appeal to you.If these are the Dutch classes you’ve been looking for, you should rush to enrol in their January sessions; they are now accepting applications!Should you live in London, and if your days are already filled, you might be interested in the Dutch language learning programmes at the University of Westminster.These courses are not necessarily targeted toward any certification process; they are more conversational in nature, with their emphasis being more on speaking and listening.Furthermore, you won’t get to the meat of the language â€" grammatical structures and verb usage unless you sign up for the advanced course and, even then there is little focus on reading and writing in Dutch.Nevertheless, if you were looking for native speakers to test your pronunciation with and improve your language proficiency, these language courses might be a valuable review resource ahead of your certification exam.Sadly, this course is not offered online but, if you were looking for a native Dutch speaker for online language training and exam preparation, why not turn to Superprof?Superprof has more than 100 native Dutch speakers or who are English-Dutch bilingual to challenge your fluency and teach you all about the language and culture of the Netherlands.One look at our Dutch tutors’ page will reveal each tutor’s experience with giving Dutch la nguage lessons, attested by past students’ testimonials. You will also see, at a glance, how much each tutor charges per hour of instruction and that most Superprof tutors give their first hour of lessons at no charge!For a learner preparing to take a language assessment test, a Superprof might be just your language study solution in the run-up to your certification exam!Now, your patience will be rewarded as we finally talk about the official exams that will certify your Dutch language skills!You may prove your Dutch language ability through one of three exams Source: Pixabay Credit: Ralf GervinkOfficial Language Exams for DutchThat’s not a typo, dear Reader!As opposed to CEFRLs in other European languages or the HSK, if you were learning Mandarin, there are in fact three separate language exams to prove your Dutch language ability; each accords to a specific set of circumstances.The Inburgeringsexamen is designed for anyone wishing to immigrate to the Netherlands.Such hopefuls must sit a preliminary exam at the Dutch embassy in their home country. The actual measure of one’s language acquisition takes place in the Netherlands, and only if the linguist has the pre-examination results in-hand.A measure of controversy surrounds this particular foreign language exam; not the least of which is that even the average Dutch native speaker cannot pass the pre-exam!The second, more likely exam would be the Staatsexamen Nederlands; a two-tier placement test suitable for foreign students wishing to study in the Netherlands.Programme 1 corresponds to CEFRL’s B1 level of language capability; Programme 2 is more advanced.Should you hope to live and undergo an apprenticeship in Amsterdam, the first exam should be sufficient; enrolling in a university or working would demand Programme 2 certification.Finally, and overall the most comprehensive exam to prove your linguistic ability is the CNaVT: the Certificate of Dutch as a Foreign Language.It is offered in 4 tiers:P TIT: Tourist and informal language level corresponds to Level A2 on the CEFRL scalePMT: equal to the CEFRL B1 language proficiency testPTHO means those candidates are proficient at the professional or university level; CEFRL level B2PAT: Level C1; an academic’s knowledge of the language and cultureAs you might have been preparing to sit A-Levels, your best match likely would be PMT or PTHO.On the other hand, if you have truly been diligent in your language course, your level of competence may be even higher!Learning a language is a lifelong endeavour, as you surely know.Very few people undertake language instruction purely for the learning experience; most people study language with a specific purpose in mind: a love of the culture, more job opportunities, relocation and the like.As you, like most others, are likely purpose-driven in your studies, it stands to reason that you would want a means to legitimise your linguistics and, in the absence of any such vehicle in your home cou ntry, it would be logical to seek such outlets abroad.And now, you know where to find them!Now you should turn to this list of revision materials tailored to your aims!

What Do I Do if I Get Rejected From Medical School

What Do I Do if I Get Rejected From Medical School The following piece was written by Dr. Sahil Mehta. Sahil is the founder of MedSchoolCoach, a medical school admissions consulting company. He has been featured in ourAdmissions Expert seriesand is a former admissions interviewerfor Columbia University. Getting into an American medical school is a difficult task. With more than 60% of applicants rejected each year, its more likely than not that you will find yourself among them. There are several important factors to consider if you dont get into medical school. We recommend a multi-step approach to your application if you find yourself without a seat in medical school. 1. Breathe Yes, it is disappointing. Yes, it can be devastating. Yes, your dreams of becoming a doctor have been put on hold for one year. But take a deep breath, and remember that there are literally thousands of physicians practicing today who found themselves in the exact same situation that you do now. They are taking care of patients, performing surgeries, and enjoying their careers without any evidence of their past rejections. You can make it there too! 2. Evaluate Now is the time to take a few minutes to evaluate what went wrong. Many people can help you do this, and we suggest you take all their advice. Remember, however, that not everyone has a current and in-depth understanding of the process. You can contact those schools that rejected you, but their advice is sometimes generic. (Gain more clinical experience, is something we hear often!) 3. Take action Now that you have figured out your deficiencies, its time to correct them. This may include extra classes or a Masters program if your academics are the reason for your rejection. Or it may involve getting a research or clinical job if your activities were not up to par. The most important thing is to avoid submitting the same exact application again. That is a formula for a sure rejection. 4. Rewrite Yes, its painful, but you will likely have to rewrite your personal statement and activities to better reflect your strengths. You should not reuse the same essay you did last year, although certain parts can certainly be similar. 5. Reapply, but dont rush into it Because you have to make additions and improvements to your application, you may want to think about putting your next applicationon hold for another year. This should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but the bottom line is you do not want to rush into another application without addressing the issues at hand. 6. Think about alternative paths for your next application You should think about applying to osteopathic programs if you are interested in them and you should be! D.O.s are physicians who perform the same exact functions as M.D.s in virtually every manner. Osteopathic programs may be easier to get into, but you will still need to be a great student to attend a D.O. school, just like you must be to get into an M.D. school. 7. Keep your head up Keep your confidence up because it is so important. It can be tough to be rejected from medical school, but make sure not to let it get you too down. Again, many physicians have been through the same process and come out just fine in the end! Check outMedSchoolCoachfor more information.
