Finding a Tutor in Dhaka - If You Can Afford It
Finding a Tutor in Dhaka - If You Can Afford ItFinding a tutor in Dhaka is a very good idea and if you have the funds then it can be the best investment you can make in your career. When I first moved to Bangladesh from the UK in 2020 I wanted to go to college for my degree but my visa was long expired so I ended up working as a housemaid. One day I came back to the dormitory room, I was having a hard time finding a university or college so I asked the people in the dormitories if they had any help with their higher education.The only English language classes they had was an English course that only taught me how to write and speak. But the one class I did not miss was the piano class, which I had always wanted to take at school.I remember it very well because when I had returned to the dormitory room I used to attend the music class of a man who lived in a flat in Dhaka called Mr. D. The piano class was full of young children whose parents wanted them to be able to make their living from singing.A few months later I received an invitation to come and sing at an evening show of Mr. D in Jakarta. He is one of the most famous pianists from Jakarta and his company has many international clients and is usually booked out at least once a month.The night of the show was amazing and the live piano performance on stage, while playing Bach's violin concerto, did not go unnoticed. When the first concert was over the Indonesian authorities shut the show down and made arrests because the song was too politically incorrect. Mr. D continued to perform for their audience's every single year and the audiences loved him.However, one year later Mr. D left Jakarta and the show was cancelled. This meant that I had to find another way to see this man live. Luckily I found a tutor in Dhaka who was willing to teach me the guitar to play at a very reasonable price.I was in Jakarta, so I didn't go home for two weeks until I could find someone in Dhaka willing to teach me the guitar. Th e place I found was incredible and the teacher was a highly trained and skilled musician. After a few weeks of practice I was able to play the song Mr. D had performed.

Tutoring and Homeschooling Is Booming in the UAE
Tutoring and Homeschooling Is Booming in the UAE On June 22nd I blogged on why Georgias Black Families Replace Schools With Tutors. The short answer to this question was: While most states prohibit homeschooling parents from tutoring anybody except their own children, Georgia has no such restriction. Remember? Today, I am continuing this topic I was surprised and happy to learn that the booming of homeschooling is not only a phenomenon observed at home in the US but also a worldwide trend. For example, in 2014 the United Arabic Emirates (UAE) reported 4,000 students were officially home-schooled a number that is likely much higher, for it only includes students who are above age 15. 4 Reasons For The Tutoring and Homeschooling Boom In The UAE The number one reason of the rise of tutoring is simply the fact that there exist little legislative restrictions on homeschooling. Parents in the UAE are free to tutor their children. Interestingly, this micro trend in freedom of education reflects the larger trend in increased personal and economic freedom available to citizens of the UAE. The libertarian Canadian think thank Fraser Institute anally publishes a ranking of counties. In 2014, the UAE ranked 5th of the countries in the world in terms of economic freedom; a ranking higher than most Western countries (The US ranks 16, the UK 11th, Germany 29th). The second reason for the tutoring boom is the rising costs of schooling in the UAE. Traditionally, women stay at home for child-rearing and house-holding. Now that household technology has eased these tasks women do find the time to home-school their own kids and often that of their neighbors as well. The teaching of unfamiliar subjects is typically left to tutors. Reason #3: Governmental schools focus on scholastic subjects. Not so in Homeschooling. It enables parents to teach practical subjects such as cooking, household responsibilities, buying groceries and organizing parties. Reason #4. Some parents decided to pull their children out of the public schools because they are killing the childrens interesting in learning. In the UAE kids often complain that hey just sit around and learn nothing new or interesting. More details can be obtained from the UAE magazine The National who published an the article Why are more parents in the UAE are homeschooling their children. Too bad that TutorZ.com does not yet offer tutoring in the UAE. But we are eager to expand our service to the UAE, a rich country with the right attitude towards tutoring!
Exams are approaching - top 5 revision tips - Tutor Hunt Blog
Exams are approaching - top 5 revision tips Exams are approaching - top 5 revision tips Exams are approaching - top 5 revision tipsSecondary SchoolsIt`s that dreaded time of year once again - for thousands of pupils across the country, the exams that were safely far away in the future are now are very real and immediate prospect. The GCSE and A-Level tests are fast approaching! Indeed, they are just over the horizon, and coming closer with each passing day. It`s revision season - all the knowledge amassed over the last 2 years must be revivified, and made immediately accessible to the mind. Pupils need to have everything they have learnt ready and at their fingertips; two years of learning distilled into a two hour exam. But what are the best ways to ensure you make the best use of the study time left? Should you cram nonstop, reading textbooks during every waking moment? Should you obtain audio files for your subjects, and listen to them while you are asleep? probably not, but here are a few things you can try to get the most out of your revision schedule: 1. Be clear what you specifically need to revise for This is vitally important - you don`t want to waste precious time studying up on topics that have no chance of being in the test. Try to obtain a copy of your subject syllabus, and consult any exercise books from the past year. The syllabus will clearly specify which topics you will be examined on, and your exercise books will show you how your teacher set out to teach parts of the syllabus. 2. Construct a revision timetable If you don`t organise your time you may fall into the trap of spending the most of your revision schedule on the subjects you enjoy the most, which will probably mean you waste precious days and weeks on parts of the syllabus you already have a good understanding of. First of all work out which parts of each subject you need to do the most work on, and make sure you apportion the majority of your time to these areas. Work out how many hours each week you can give to your revision - if you are allocated study time at school make sure you include this in your plan, along with time after school and at weekends. It may seem that the next few months of your life will be nothing but revision, but the next section will assuage that fear! 3. Ensure you take regular breaks No one is able to read and study non stop for hours on end - even the most studious individual will reach a point where their brain will be unable to assimilate any more information, unless they are permitted to take a well earned break. The danger is though that once `recess` times are permitted, the student will take them whenever the going gets though. Struggling to understand a particular part of calculus⦠time to take a break! getting tired of all these irregular french verbs⦠time to take another break! Without a good structural plan to the revision timetable the student may well reflexively take a break just at the very point where they are struggling with something difficult. For this reason break times should be written into the revision schedule, with a 15 minute interim every two hours or so. 4. Seek out videos online to help These days there is such an abundance of online video educational content, be it from students themselves helping share their knowledge in an approachable way, to world famous lecturers from prestigious schools and universities all around the world. Many students can be mentally fatigued by studying the endless pages of their textbooks - videos can make learning come alive, and the right online teacher may engage the student, and help them understand concepts they previously couldn`t come to grips with. 5. Obtain past papers A student may have a thorough and in depth knowledge of their subject, but unless they are able to apply and express their comprehension under exam conditions their true capabilities will not be reflected in their grade. For this reason students should actually practice taking exams, in order that, when the day comes, they are not intimidated and anxious, and can perform to the best of their abilities. Past papers can be easily obtained from the respective subject`s syllabus - the student should sit some of these exams under the same strict conditions they will have to adhere to when they take the real exam. This will allow them to become acclimatised to exam pressures, while also allowing them to calculate their own `predicted grade,` and identify any areas they need to study up on. 9 months ago0Add a Comment

Coping with culture shock while teaching overseas
Coping with culture shock while teaching overseas Many of those who teach abroad will experience some degree of culture shock. Moving to a new and often different cultural environment makes the feeling of culture shock a very normal and real psychological phenomenon.With any move comes natural stressors, but relocating abroad presents a whole crop of new challenges: a different local language, new customs, new manners, and cultural norms. Itâs typical to find yourself in a social situation where youâre not sure what is the right thing to do or say. And while coping with these stresses can initially be clouded with the âhoneymoon phaseâ of travel, eventually an adjustment phase kicks in. This adjustment is what is known as culture shock.What causes culture shockThe onset of culture shock varies from person to person - it can be anywhere from a couple of weeks to six months. The initial three months are often characterized as the honeymoon phase, where new cultural phenomenons might intrigue and delight more than upset. Everyt hing seems new and exciting. But internally, our bodies are really dealing with physiological stress: lack of control, understanding new social norms, and perhaps difficulties in communicating. Trying to decipher how to respond properly in these situations can be exhausting and overstimulating. Culture shock symptomsCulture shock can manifest in many ways, and can appear as fleeting feelings or can last for weeks. But indulging these feelings can lead to unhealthy behavior such as over- or under-eating, or serious sadness or depression. Watch for the following symptoms during your first few months:HomesicknessSadness/loneliness/hopelessnessBoredomAversion to social interaction, or withdrawing from local relationships and communicating only with family at homeSleeping and eating too muchStereotyping or an increased tendency to think badly of local culture and peopleUncontrollable emotions (like crying over seemingly anything)Constantly comparing your home country to your placement countryThe symptoms of culture shock can come and go throughout your first year of teaching abroad.How to manage the effects of culture shockOne of the best ways to manage culture shock is to be aware of symptoms as they crop up. When you start to experience them, itâs important to tell yourself, âWhat Iâm experiencing now is probably culture shock.â After acknowledging that you are experiencing culture shock, which is a very normal reaction to lots of change, you can take the following steps to overcome any of the symptoms:Reassure yourself that these feelings will eventually pass once youâve settled.Take time to connect with yourself and honor your needs: keep busy with activities you enjoy, exercise regularly, develop a new hobby and set time aside for it each day.Dedicate some time to learning the local language to help overcome communication difficulties.Be easy on yourself: adjusting is hard work.Establish a daily routine that you stick to. Make sure to get lots of s leep and eat healthily.Make your apartment more comfortable with souvenirs from back home.Schedule time to indulge in a healthy dose of culture from your home country: listen to some music, watch one of your favourite movies, or eat your favourite dishes. These small things can help. And if you can, sharing some of your culture with local friends can provide some relief.Try to stop yourself from making cultural value judgments or comparisons with your home country.Most importantly: encourage yourself. Remind yourself of your reasons for going abroad in the first place. Each time culture shock symptoms show up, know that itâs just your body taking some time to adjust to everything thatâs new. Eventually, you will feel more comfortable in your new country and these pangs of nostalgia and homesickness will be shorter and more controllable.Again, culture shock is normal: it isnât a sign that you arenât suited to teaching abroad, itâs a sign that youâre human and youâre wor king through a very natural process. Being aware of the fact that you will likely experience some degree of culture shock is a good way to combat serious side effects or symptoms.

The Concept of Irreducible Representation in Chemistry
The Concept of Irreducible Representation in ChemistryAccording to the concept of irreducible representation, the two sides are essentially equally independent. On a strictly general level, it means that every position which occupies the same space in the two people's mind is equally valid and real. Irreducible representation says that two sides that have no physical connection with each other do not exist. In the context of science, irreducible representation can be utilized to refer to the situation where a scientific experiment cannot be carried out in all possible ways.Irreducible representation has been extensively used in the field of chemistry. It is primarily employed when the question of ordering molecules in a certain order appears as difficult to address. The first reaction that appears to be the easiest to carry out is for the molecules to be ordered in a specific order. This seems to be the most sensible option for many chemists, but if one is not careful the order may b ecome imbalanced and difficult to deal with.Irreducible representation can be effectively employed in this context. It tells us that it is not possible to arrange the molecules in a specific order by a single force such as gravity. To put it more precisely, it tells us that in this situation, some existing order must be created by the intervention of some other force. A better method would be to divide the molecule into two identical copies and to attach them together in such a way that each copy of the molecule has an equal chance of forming the best possible arrangement of the molecules.This creates an attractive force or repulsion between the molecules. These forces create a sort of symmetry and the most effective methods of creating this symmetry are determined by the conditions. In this respect, chemistry is defined by the principle of irreducible representation. For example, in the absence of matter, the atoms and their molecules would never be able to break the bonds of the m olecules which make up the atoms and hence wouldnot be able to bind.Irreducible representation is an important tool in the understanding of a large number of physical phenomena such as superconductivity and in the study of the molecular basis of life. The most recent applications of irreducible representation in chemistry have been made in the fields of biochemistry and the history of man. It is important to mention here that the use of an irreducible representation is still being used in many other fields.These include molecular dynamics, information theory, and so on. However, it should be noted that the use of an irreducible representation is not restricted to these areas. When a couple of colleagues in the Department of Chemistry in the University of London made the discovery of the C3 alcohol HHO, they used it in their research.The discovery was based on the fact that HHO is a compound that contains the nucleus of an oxygen atom, and on the fact that the oxygen is bonded to the indium oxide indium and this bond forms a highly reactive ionic molecule. The discovery has led to a revolution in the use of several atomic concepts in chemistry.

Online Integer Number Tutors
Online Integer Number Tutors It is the system of numbers; containing negative of natural numbers. The collection of integers is denoted by Z or I. Thus, Z = {, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, } Zero is neither a negative nor a positive number. It is a neutral number. This system also has infinite numbers towards negative as well as positive sides. Therefore the smallest and the largest integers cannot be obtained.In this system, any number can be obtained by adding 1 to its previous number. Note: - The difference between two consecutive integers is always 1 (one). Example 1: - A man moves 20 m due east and then 16 m due west. Find his position with respect to his starting point. Solution: - If 20 m due east is represented by +20, then -16 represents 16 m due west. On adding + 20 and 16, we get: (+ 20) + (- 16) = + 20 16 = + 4; which is positive Therefore the position of the man with respect to his starting point is 4 m due east. Example 2: - The temperature of a body first rises by 25 degree C and then falls by 32 degree C. Find the final temperature of the body, if its initial temperature is 0 degree C. Solution: - If the rise in temperature is denoted by positive sign, then the fall in temperature will be denoted by a negative sign. Final temperature = Initial temperature + rise in temperature + fall in temperature. = 0 + (+ 25) + (- 32) =-7 degree C.
