Improve Your Grades With Ames Tutoring

Improve Your Grades With Ames TutoringIf you are looking for ways to improve your grades, then Ames Tutoring is the place for you. The highest demand for personal tutoring comes from students who have trouble sitting still in class and are finding it difficult to focus on their lessons. They require help to be able to focus and learn at their best level.You may be one of these students. Most of us can't even remember a time when we did not require some assistance in order to accomplish a task. In the past, we could easily study late at night or miss school class.There is no problem with that. However, now there are all new computers with online courses that allow us to study whenever we want and from wherever we want. It is no longer necessary to miss your class or go home early to study.By using an online classroom, you can be in class without being in front of your computer screen. And because you do not have to worry about missing a day, you are free to take your assignments on a regular schedule. However, because most online classes are in the form of online video lectures, you can listen to your notes and books at the same time.This type of tutor will help you with any learning difficulties that you may be having in math or physics. When it comes to geometry, trigonometry, algebra, calculus, and statistics, it is not always necessary to understand how things work and you might not need to have a math tutor for every subject. By learning math by yourself, you are sure to master it faster.Because this is the trend today, the number of independent studying courses available on the internet has grown rapidly. That means that you don't have to go to a college to continue your education, especially if you have a job. It is far more convenient than having to get up in the middle of the night to find a campus to study at or an instructor.It is also true that you will find that Ames Tutoring offers more than just instruction in a classroom. Students can have the as sistance of mentors, who can give them tips and advice on how to better themselves. And students who have been tutored by Ames tutors have shown an increase in grades and their test scores as well.

The 30-Day Challenge

The 30-Day Challenge In 2015 our most popular lesson in our 1-on-1 English classes was 30-Day Challenge, a lesson about goals and trying new things. Its a good lesson for starting off a new year, and it inspired me to try something for 30 days. Ive given up eating sugar for the month of January. Im 20 days in now, and its really not bad at all, although I really have the urge to buy some chocolate chip cookies right now.In the past Ive also given up alcohol for 30 days, which was easy, and caffeine, which was horrible. Although, coffee never tasted better to me than it did after 30 days without it.Below we have a TED Talk that we also used in the lesson. Its about 30-day challenges, and was inspired by  Spurlock, perhaps the king of these challenges, who ate nothing but McDonalds for 30 days in Super Size Me. Watch the video below and see if you can answer the listening questions.Answer the questions in comments, and well respond.A few years ago, I felt like I was ___ in a ___.What does the above sentenc e mean?What is Morgan Spurlocks actual profession?

Huntington Learning Center Shares Latest SAT Happenings

Huntington Learning Center Shares Latest SAT Happenings Latest Update: Feb. 16, 2018When it comes to the SAT college entrance exam, the last several years have been largely focused on the College Boards redesign of the test, but Huntington Learning Center is up on the latest news and information. Eileen Huntington, CEO and co-founder of Huntington Learning Center reminds parents of the importance of staying up to date. Last year brought a great deal of change to the SAT, but the College Board is still adjusting processes and other aspects of the SAT, she says. Huntingtonshares the latest SAT happenings that may impact your college-bound student: Students can now take the SAT in late August. For the first time since the mid-1970s, the College Board is offering an August exam date, based on feedback from students, K-12 and higher education professionals, and test center staff. This date provides students about to begin their senior year with earlier opportunities to take the exam before submitting college applications. Other benefits of an August SAT date: It will be it easier for students to dedicate themselves to an SAT prep program over summer break since school is not in session. A summer date should help minimize problems caused by issues such as delays in score reporting and weather-related test cancellations in late winter. Students heading into senior year will have two opportunities instead of one to take the SAT (August and October) before early admission application deadlines, which are usually in early November. The January exam date has been eliminated. Beginning in the 2017-2018 school year, the January SAT date will no longer be offered. This means that the SAT continues to be offered seven times per year: in August, October, November, December, March, May and June. The process for requesting test accommodations is much simpler. In December 2016, the College Board announced a much simpler request process for testing accommodations for students currently using them at their schools through Individualized Education Programs and 504 Plans. Testing supports are available for English language learners (ELL), effective January 1, 2017. ELL students taking a state-funded SAT during the school day will now have access to testing instructions in several native languages and approved bilingual glossaries. The College Boards overall goal is to level the playing field for all students. Following the redesign of the SAT, the number of students taking the new exam in 2016 jumped to 1.36 million (compared to 1.18 million in 2015). This indicates a show of support among students and parents alike, says Huntington. The College Board has greatly increased its efforts to make the SAT and all of its exams reflect what students are learning in class. she says. Huntington is apprised of the latest changes and incorporates any and all adjustments into our prep programs.

Whats better for the Classroom, Tablet or Laptop Pros and cons to help you decide what to bring to college

What's better for the Classroom, Tablet or Laptop Pros and cons to help you decide what to bring to college Photo by viagallery.com on Flickr.com Tablets computers are popular due to the fact that light, easily portable (they slip into a purse or backpack), and boast intuitive, touch-based controls. They also provide a screen that’s much easier for reading than a laptop, which is a plus for arts majors. In fact, if your coursework requires purchasing e-books for English Lit or History class, youll find that you suffer less eye strain with a tablet compared to a laptop. The only reason you would ever choose a laptop for reading over a tablet is in rare cases when you need to purchase e-textbooks via a service that’s not available for tablet users. In the end tablets feature basically the same basic, on-the-go Internet access and serve students well on campuses offering free public Wi-Fi. When it comes to roaming around campus, tablets take the cake because of: Light weight Lengthy battery life Speedy, instant power up Work-friend from just about anywhereâ€"a bench, bar stool, building steps, or lapâ€"with little or no space available Cons of tablets for college students However, if you do a lot of typing, a tablet might not be a first choice because they don’t feature a traditional keyboard to type up reports and papers like a laptop or ultrabook (such as the thinkpad x1) does. Tablets are typically cheaper than laptops and ultrabooks (or netbooks), however, that also means they are often less durable without the full capabilities of a laptopâ€"DVD/CD, imbedded camera, etc. Pros of laptops for college students Laptops are obviously the better choice for students who need to write a lot of papers. Plus, most offer CD or DVD playing capabilities for students whose coursework requires viewing a lot of videos or audio recordings. Sure, a laptop is more expensive than a tablet, but it’s also a lot more durable and provides hard, protective casing for on-the-go use of a college campus. Plus, if you’re low on battery or want a larger keyboard, a laptop can be hooked up to docking station for full-sized keyboard use and extra battery life if you’re burning at both ends to get a paper finished by morning. When it comes to viewing videos, listening to CDs, and typing capabilities, laptop make the grade because of: Storage capabilitiesâ€"photos, videos, documents Editingâ€"both Word documents, photos, or long videos They offer external or cloud-based storage that tablets don’t This is a guest post by Rebecca Keller.

This 14-Year-Old Has a Dream of Working in the National Hockey League

This 14-Year-Old Has a Dream of Working in the National Hockey League This 14-Year-Old Has a Dream of Working in the National Hockey League Isaac, 14-years-old, Level M  Math   Isaac loves watching sports. One of his favorite things  to do  is watch his beloved Montreal Canadiens on Hockey Night in  Canada!  He enjoys  hockey so much that he has a dream of becoming a general manager of a hockey team  someday.   If that doesn’t work out, he’s also considering becoming an engineer because of his love for math. In fact, at just 14-years-old, he’s  studying three years above his grade level in the  Kumon Math Program.     Isaac shakes hands with Kumon North America President Mino Tanabe “Isaac is a superior and independent student. His perseverance and love of learning has helped him study math at a very high level,” said Ben  Giami, Kumon Instructor. “But it’s not Isaac’s academic ability that impresses me. It’s who he is as a person and his involvement in his community.”   Isaac participates yearly in the  Samaritan Purse Shoebox Operation  collecting aid for families in need around the world. He’s also an active member of his church, volunteers at  his  local elementary school and has been chosen  to attend the  Tim Horton’s Youth Development Program  multiple times.   Because of Isaac’s accomplishments both in-and-out of the classroom, he was one of 56 students selected out of thousands to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference.  He talks about his journey with Kumon.         How has Kumon helped you beyond academics?   Kumon has helped me with my confidence, self-esteem and has taught me to be independent. I’ve also learned from Kumon the importance of being a compassionate person and helping someone in the time of need.   What keeps you motivated in Kumon?     The discipline that Kumon teaches students around the world keeps me motivated. I’ve seen that the routine has helped lead people on the path of success and I know that if I stick with it, I too will be successful. Kumon has helped me with my self-esteem  and  also keeps me motivated. I am motivated to succeed and be the best version of myself.   What was your favorite part of the Kumon Student Conference?   The educational games and activities were a lot of fun. I really enjoyed getting to know  all of  the other students and working together to complete the challenges. I’d say my favorite part of the day was hearing from the panel of four Kumon Program completers. Hearing their journeys, struggles and learning about what they are doing now has inspired me to  continue on  to complete the Kumon Math Program.   Discover even more Kumon success stories.       You might also be interested in: Focus And Confidence Help This Young Musician Achieve His Goals Advancing Beyond Grade Level Helped this Student Become a Member of the National Elementary Honor Society How this Aspiring Hockey Pro Applies What He Learned from Kumon Kumon of West Chester Students to Compete in the First Lego League World Championship This 14-Year-Old Has a Dream of Working in the National Hockey League This 14-Year-Old Has a Dream of Working in the National Hockey League Isaac, 14-years-old, Level M  Math   Isaac loves watching sports.

Marcus and Xavier Individuals in their own right, but on the same path towards learning success

Marcus and Xavier Individuals in their own right, but on the same path towards learning success Marcus and Xavier: Individuals in their own right, but on the same path towards learning success Marcus and Xavier are seven year old twin brothers who light up their local Kumon Math Reading Center with their wit and charm. Marcus gave his Kumon Instructor a chuckle when he told her he was too tired to get his Kumon homework 100 percent correct. Xavier is good humored and studious. Their individuality complements each other as it gives rise to them both meeting their learning goals. In the first grade, reading wasn’t as enjoyable an experience for Marcus as it was for Xavier. In school, Marcus was required to attend tutoring instead of gym class, leaving him feeling frustrated and in the shadow of his brother, Xavier. At the start of the second grade, their parents enrolled them in the Kumon Reading Program. By the end of the school year, Marcus’ reading and comprehension abilities improved, along with his grades and confidence. Marcus beamed when presented with a Perseverance Award from his school. The siblings are on par with their academic progress and Marcus and Xavier have been honor roll students for the past three marking periods at school. Both Marcus and Xavier also achieved Kumon Advanced Student Honor Roll (ASHR) status in Reading. ASHR is awarded to students working on Kumon assignments that are above their current grade level. The boys picked up such a love for reading and every night they fall asleep with a book, says Christina, their mother. “My husband reads a scary book to them every night, and if he forgets they make sure to remind him.” Their dad, Nando, brings them to the Kumon Center, making sure they are prepared and organized for class. Christina balances their time between academic and recreational activities, knowing when they need a small break from all things academic to engage in other activities. Working closely with their Kumon Instructor, both parents understand Kumon’s independent learning approach and have enjoyed seeing their boys flourish in school. After about a year into the Kumon Reading Program, Marcus and Xavier were enrolled in the Kumon Math Program. Pairing the reading program with the math program builds a solid foundation in their learning abilities. “Marcus and Xavier have become individuals and it’s really cool to observe them grow and advance on their own,” says Ryanne, their Kumon Instructor.   Given their current learning pace, by 6th grade, it’s likely they will be at the Kumon advanced algebra level, working their way up to the factor theorem. “I really can’t wait,” beams their Kumon Instructor. What a support trifecta â€" Marcus and Xavier have each other, their parents and their Kumon Instructor, all cheering them along the road of success.
