Helping Your Child Start the New Year Right

Helping Your Child Start the New Year Right One of the best things about starting a brand-new year is the pervasive feeling of a fresh, new beginning. For children who have experienced a bumpy start to the school year and adopted a negative attitude as a result, the new year is also an opportunity to hit the reset button and change the attitude. Here are several tips on how to help your child start 2020 off right: Get to the root of the problem(s). Maybe your child has had a difficult time in one class. Maybe he or she doesnt see eye to eye with some teachers. Or perhaps a subject that went well last year has suddenly become difficult this school year. Start off the year with an open and honest conversation with your child. Resist any judgment and simply listen. Knowing what has led to your childs feelings of frustration and negativity will help you develop a 2020 action plan that you both feel good about. Set goals or revisit goals set earlier in the year. The goal-setting process is valuable in so many ways. It encourages students to think about things they would like to accomplish in the remainder of the school year, and it helps renew their motivation. Sit down together to review any goals your child set at the start of the school year to see how he or she is progressing. Adjust them as needed and discuss how your child will take steps in the coming weeks and months. Reflect on achievements last year. If the start of the school year has been a little rough, its understandable why your child might feel down or negative. Point out your childs strengths. Talk about a few of the high points of the first semester of the school year (and even the end last school year). Even small successes are worth noting. Refresh your childs perspective. A recent report card with across-the-board bad grades is certainly grounds for concern, but it isnt the end of the worldand it certainly isnt a problem that cannot be fixed. Remind your child that talking about these issues and making a plan to correct them is the first step toward turning things around. Instill resilience in your child. In school (as in life), problems arise all the time. The more you can teach your child to learn and grow from difficult times, the stronger your child will become. Remind your child that when confronted with challenges, he or she should take a deep breath, believe in him or herself, and persevere. That grit is a trait that will serve your child well in life. Lastly, it is important that you have a good attitude about school as well. Your child witnesses how you react to and talk about school, and it rubs off. If your child is struggling, he or she likely feels worse about the situation than you do. Be positive, action-oriented, and most of all, supportive. Let your child know that education is important but his or her well-being is even more important. Together, youll make this year a great one. Huntington is here to help your child achieve his or her best and regain that self-esteem. Call 1-800 CAN LEARN to talk about how we can help your child make this year his or her best one yet.

Discovering Oneself by Mentoring Others

Discovering Oneself by Mentoring Others Education has always been a big part of my life, and I have found myself acting as both learner and teacher over the years. It started at in-school tutoring programs where I began working with my peers tutoring for standardized state examinations, and gradually I began taking on more and more responsibility. I worked as a private tutor on my own for many years before finally coming to Frog Tutoring, which has opened up many new doors for me.As a math and science tutor in Fort Worth, Texas, I work primarily with students leaving high school or entering college, and in the last semester have worked with many new freshman engineering students from the area. I work as a mentor as much as I do a tutor. My job is not only to help these students understand the materials, but also to help mentor these young adults through this transitioning period in any way I can. Most of these students are leaving home for the first time, and are encountering more responsibility than they've ever had before. It can be tough for new college students to adjust to being in charge of managing their time and juggling all their priorities. I am able to help as a peer who understands and can help with all the new difficulties these changes can bring. I don’t just help them with study skills, but also with how gaining confidence in their abilities, preparing for meeting their professors for the first time, troubles with their new roommate, and anything else that comes up.In all of my years of tutoring, these past few months working with other engineering students have been the most rewarding. I don’t just help with homework or preparing for exam, I am able to help students build the skills they will use for the rest of college, and even in their careers. The first few semesters can make or break you in college, especially as a science student. I am there to help support them when there is a bump in the road. They must learn new avenues and approaches to problem solvingâ€"the engineer mindset, so to speak. I truly feel like I am having a meaningful impact on their lives.It’s strange that in teaching others over the years, I have managed to learn so much about myself. I’ve learned how to be a leader, a friend, and a coach. I've learned what it means to really inspire others, and that means a great deal to me. Being told that my work makes a difference with these students really make me feel so grateful for the opportunities I've been given to help them, and it has also revived my interest in subjects I had long since moved on from. Helping a student on general high school chemistry recently I remembered my love for the course that I took so many years ago. The time I spend with these students sheds light on how much I have grown since the time I was there age, and how I got to where I am. Teaching these kids helps remind me who I am and what is important to me.I can think on a single instance in particular which has really impacted me while tutoring. A student came to me with a need for tutoring in chemistry, and she claimed there was no way she was going to pass her class. After a few weeks of working together, she turned to me, grinning widely, and said “I get it!” Watching a girl who had no interest in the subject and who felt so down on herself about it suddenly become really engaged and, dare I say it, excited was extremely fulfilling.I believe that tutoring, and in turn mentoring, makes me a better person. Looking back on old courses that I once took reminds me of where I started outâ€"just as clueless as any other freshman about how the world actually worksâ€"and how much I have actually achieved with my hard work.

Preparing for an international teaching job interview

Preparing for an international teaching job interview An in-person interview is like taking a trip to the dentist - a necessary evil. The build up is the worst part, the actual appointment is usually over far quicker than you expected and it’s a huge relief when the ordeal is over! As Placement Coordinators at Teach Away, our aim to help you secure your dream teaching job abroad and to make sure that your interview is as successful - and as painless - as possible. Here are a few simple tips to keep in mind to help you ace that teaching job interview. Do your homework. It’s important to do the right research on the school that you’re interviewing with. Have a look at the school’s website. What’s their mission statement? What curriculum do they offer? Doing this will help you figure out the type of teacher they might be looking for, and how you can present yourself as a strong candidate. This will also help you to gauge the types of questions you’re likely to face during the interview. While they will be focused on finding a teacher who’s capable of delivering quality lessons, each school has a unique set of values so it’s equally as important that they find the right fit. Brush up on any country and regional customs as well, and be sure to touch on these to show that you’re enthusiastic about working there. Check out the individual country pages on Teach Away for more information on each particular country. Sell yourself. By the time you reach your face-to-face teaching abroad interview, the interviewing panel will have already seen your application and employment history. They’re already considering you for the position - the hard part is already over! When you’re answering questions, include specifics that set you apart from other candidates. Don’t forget to cover points that aren’t on your resume, too. Sure, you can teach awesome lessons, but what else sets you apart? What are your hobbies and interests? Do you engage in extracurricular activities? Can you include examples of how your teaching has improved the success rate of your previous employers and, more importantly, how have you positively impacted your students’ lives? Anticipate questions. You can guarantee that the interviewing panel is looking for a candidate with excellent subject knowledge and the ability to thrive in a culturally diverse environment. Expect to answer questions on how adaptable and flexible you are. They’re looking for someone that can cope with culture shock, too. You could be asked to explain how you would teach a certain subject point and your teaching style, so brush up on your content knowledge in advance. You already know your stuff, but a recap will help you to better recall, for example, the fun way that you used a raw egg and a boiled egg to illustrate kinetic energy! Ask questions. Don’t forget, an interview for a teaching job abroad is also a chance for you to find out whether the job is right for you. Gather as much information as possible so you can make an informed decision if you do receive a job offer. Practice responses. Find a quiet room and rehearse your answers out loud. This will help you shape your responses in a thoughtful way and avoid any mental blocks. When you answer the first few questions confidently during the interview, your natural nervousness will subside. Relax, breathe! It’s the night before the interview. You’ve prepped hard - and you have the qualifications and experience the school are looking for. Your interview outfit is clean and ironed and your route to the interview site is mapped out. Last-minute cramming is only going to impact you negatively. The best thing that you can do at this point is rest, watch a movie, go for a walk, do something that occupies your mind and will help you get a good night’s sleep. You should be well rested and fresh. If you look stressed or tired, it, you risk making a weak first impression. You want to be alert and engaging - just as you are in your day-to-day school life. Take time to reflect. Every interview has its highs and its lows, and we know interviews can be painful to relive. However, once the interview is over, quickly jot down any questions that you can remember and how you answered them. Did any of your responses fall flat? Be critical and honest with yourself on what went right - and what went wrong. Success is not always guaranteed and you can still find positives from the experience so you can be better prepared for your next teach abroad interview. Finally, remember that your Placement Coordinator is always here to help. They have plenty ofexperience in facilitating interviews and should have plenty of advice for you. Don’t be afraid to ask for any hints or tips they might have up their sleeves. Looking for advice from teachers who’ve been there, done that when it comes to interviewing for teaching jobs abroad? Feel free to swing by our forum and ask your questions!

Defying All Odds This Kumon Student is Headed to the Special Olympics

Defying All Odds This Kumon Student is Headed to the Special Olympics Defying All Odds: This Kumon Student is Headed to the Special Olympics Our founder, Toru Kumon, once said “Give it a try! Or you will never discover your true potential.” Meet  Rhea. She  stepped outside of her comfort zone, gave it a try and fell in love with the sport of gymnastics. Today, she’s the New Jersey State Champion for Gymnastics, Level 3,  and will be representing  her state  at the  2018 Special Olympics USA Games in Seattle, Washington  this July.  As an all-around gymnast, Rhea will compete on the beam, the bars apparatus, vault and floor exercise. After Rhea was diagnosed with a learning disability at  five  years old, her  parents  decided to enroll her in Kumon because they felt the structured approach would really help her both academically and socially. “I was amazed by how quickly we saw improvementsâ€"they were apparent within a month and have been consistent  ever  since,” said  Rhea’s mother  Rekha. “Not only was  she  able to start following lessons in class  without  becoming frustrated, but she also developed improved social skills.” Rhea’s Kumon Instructor, Rinku Kapur, refers to her as their “shining star” and boy does she live up to that name. She’s fully grasped the self-learning approach and has incorporated structure into every aspect of her daily life, which is imperative with the schedule that she maintains. Between the intense training for the upcoming Special Olympics, school work, Kumon studies and her other extracurricular activities, time management has been  key  for Rhea. “We are so appreciative of the entire Kumon family, but especially for Rinku,” said  Rekha. “She took it upon herself to make sure our daughter was successful and we are so grateful for that. Because of her, Rhea has overcome her academic hurdles, learned to be organized and structured and developed a sense of accountability and responsibility that she’ll use for the rest of her life.” The motto of the Special Olympicsâ€"“Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt”â€"is about finding the courage to give it your all. If you saw Rhea perform, you’d see that she  exudes confidence in gymnastics. We look forward to following her continued success.

What Did Julia Louis-Dreyfus Say About Group Chemistry?

What Did Julia Louis-Dreyfus Say About Group Chemistry?If you've been wondering what that comment by Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the 'Seinfeld' episode was all about, you're not alone. Take a few moments to read the following article and then you'll know the answer. It's interesting to see how much behind-the-scenes gossip is told in those episodes and how they can provide some insight into the lives of the actors, especially when it comes to playing the roles.Julia, who played Elaine, was the daughter of a very successful plastic surgeon and mother of two children. While it's clear that her parents were great in their own right, the comic timing for her character's statement was another telling clue. At that time in the show's history, members of the cast had taken the advice of their parents and they'd kept up the same demeanor, so as not to make the cast look like they were cheating on their spouses.There's a great scene in the 'Seinfeld' episode where George's wife, 'Maude' (Amy Brenn eman) comes into the apartment while he's having an argument with his ex-wife, Elaine. They are arguing about where they should move next, and she offers him a hot cup of coffee that was prepared by his dad. In an instant, her presence as the mother of two kids created a whole new dynamic for the characters that made them much more likable.As an actor, one of the best lessons one can learn is how to play a part with respect to group chemistry. Just because the characters have similar interests doesn't mean they can't develop some other skills for themselves. This can be a real eye opener for those who've ever tried to play a part where they're supposed to have some uncanny gift for a specific skill, but just aren't very good at it. While many times, they do not become successful actors because they couldn't pull off the part, they may learn what can help them succeed even if they're not really gifted at acting.Also, those who don't stick with the act of acting sometimes feel they ar e stuck. If they don't get to act and perform their talents at any point, they'll start to see other things as being much more important. This is especially true when you're not happy about the way you look or how you may sound, but you are desperate to find someone who understands what you're trying to say.You may see some actors that you think could probably improve their acting abilities by simply watching how the cast of 'Seinfeld' acted. While you can't learn exactly what went on behind the scenes with the comedians in that episode, you can pick up a few tips and tricks by listening to the conversations. By using a little study of what's going on behind the scenes, you'll be able to direct your own performance and ultimately help improve your acting as well.When you're feeling down or you feel you're losing your head, take a minute to listen to the sound track of the show and identify the characters who seem to talk a lot. These are the people who may be having a difficult time at the moment but are passionate about what they are doing. They're able to express themselves clearly and from a level of wisdom that is beyond your normal ability. When you're in this place, you're just glad you were able to hear their side of the story.
