Meet the Tutorfair Foundations 1,000th volunteer!

Meet the Tutorfair Foundation’s 1,000th volunteer! Last week the Tutorfair Foundation placed its 1,000th volunteer. What a remarkable thing! These 1,000 people have been a vastly talented and experienced group, coming from all walks of life and from all over the globe. They’ve all taken time out of their schedules, shared whatever they could with less advantaged students across the country and asked for nothing in return. Not all heroes wear capes! With such a huge number, it’s so easy to forget that each one of them has had a unique experience â€" all coming to us from different places and hoping for different things. To remedy this, we want to take a moment to introduce the world to our most recent fantastic volunteer â€" our 1,000th recruit, Janet. Tell us a little bit about you… “Hi, I'm originally from Liverpool but have lived in London area since I was a student. I have a BSc in maths and astrophysics and a Ph.D in astronomy. My thesis was on the evolution of supermassive black holes in galactic centres.” When you’re not thinking about supermassive black holes, what do you get up to? “I worked in IT for 25 years, final role was as project director for a successful outsourcing bid to run the IT and telecoms for a UK bank. I then took early retirement and have been spending my time since then volunteering in science education for a number of charities, coaching and playing badminton and monitoring butterflies and moths for nature organisations.” What do you do when you’re volunteering with the Foundation? “I’m tutoring in Oaklands School in Bethnal Green. I go in on a Wednesday afternoon to work with two small groups of Year 13 Physics students.” What made you decide to get involved? “I came across the Foundation after a Google search for volunteering opportunities. This particular opportunity fitted in well with other tutoring I am doing in central London. I spend a lot of time down in Devon now but come up to London each week during the winter months so finding several tutoring roles within the same timeframe is very time efficient for me and rewarding as well.” So you’ve done lots of tutoring in the past? “I have tutored both secondary and primary school students in central London in maths and physics for the past five years. I’ve also been tutoring online for the past couple of years.” What are you hoping to get out of your experience with the Foundation? “I want to feel that I have helped them in achieving their academic goals and see some hard evidence for this.” Finally, what do people need to know about volunteering with young people? “It’s very rewarding but it can be daunting initially. You need to be patient, particularly with younger students, and be prepared to do some preparation in advance of the tutoring sessions. This is particularly important if you’re working with older students, in order for them to get the most out of the sessions.” Want to get involved? Sign up today with the  Tutorfair foundation.

Adversity Score

Adversity Score In May 2019, the College Board announced a plan to provide college admissions officers a dashboard that gives context to an applicants neighborhood and high school with that students SAT score reports. Dubbed the adversity score by news outlets, the metricactually called the Environmental Context Dashboard (ECD)was intended to allow colleges to incorporate a students school and environmental context into their admissions process in a data-driven way. The ECD was designed to allow admissions officers the opportunity to view a students academic accomplishment in the context of where they live and learn. Introducing Landscape In August 2019, the College Board shared its plans to improve upon the idea of the Environmental Context Dashboard by revising and renaming the tool Landscape. Landscape will provide information about a students neighborhood and high school, helping colleges consider the context in the application review process. The revised resource is intended to help admissions officers fairly consider every applicant. It does not replace the individual information included in a students application (such as GPA, personal essay and high school transcript). It also shows how an applicants SAT or ACT score compares to the scores of other students at the same high school. Heres a quick summary of the information presented in Landscape: High school data, including city/suburban town types and rural town type Senior class size % of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch Average SAT scores at colleges attended by the three most recent cohorts of college-bound seniors at the applicants high school (who took College Board assessments) Advanced Placement exams (participation and performance) SAT and ACT test score comparison (of the student vs. average scores at their high school) Neighborhood and high school indicators, including: Predicted probability of students from the neighborhood/high school enrolling in a four-year college Household structure (married/coupled families, single-parent families and children living under the poverty line) Median family income Housing stability (vacancy rates, rental vs. homeownership, mobility/housing turnover) Education level Crime The College Board explains that colleges have long considered context about students high schools and neighborhoods when making admissions decisions. Landscape is intended to make this process easier and help admissions offers gather consistent information. Learn more about the new Landscape tool and how colleges will use it at www.collegeboard.org.

Dressing for success in Abu Dhabi

Dressing for success in Abu Dhabi By Thiago SilvaWhen experiencing a culture for the first time, many aspects of everyday life are often the first differences we notice, be it the way people interact with each other, the local cuisine, or how they dress. Even though some fashion trends will differ from country to country, some places in the Middle East, for example, have different standards when it comes to how much skin one should, or can, reveal.If you are looking for a position in Abu Dhabi, the dress code may vary depending on your school’s dress code, but in general men and women are expected to wear clothes that cover arms and legs. Mackenzie Soper, a Teach Away teacher in Abu Dhabi, explains that while you can still wear the clothes you bring from your home country, you should be aware of the local customs.“Bring your jeans, your going out clothes, your sundresses. You will wear them, you will just wear them with a cardigan or leggings,” she explained.Some schools might require you to wear an abaya (long black robe-like dress), but most schools will allow you to wear any type of clothes, as long as it entirely covers your arms and legs, and since all buildings have air conditioning, make sure you also bring all types of clothing to allow you to mix and match according to the temperature.One of the tips Mackenzie shares is that for women a scarf can go a long way, you can use it to cover your upper chest or shoulders, and it can be a very versatile option. For men, dress shirts and pants usually do the trick, but you can also wear a men’s abaya over it.Overall, as long as you dress respectfully and follow the local culture, there should be no problem getting dressed in the morning.“You will not have to change your style once you are over here,” noted MacKenzie.Thiago Silva is the  Teach Away  blogger.

Self-learning or Private Tutor It is Your Choice

Self-learning or Private Tutor It is Your Choice Intellect is the main gift which the humankind received from the Nature. Intelligence differentiates us from the animals and only thanks to our brains we have all facilities and privileges of the modern life. Unfortunately the brain activity decreases when we get older and this can even result in early dotage. It happens because the connections between the neurons in your brain can be lost if you don’t use them. The only way to avoid this is to keep the healthy life-style and to train your mind. So every person who appreciate this priceless ability to be an intellectual creature must train the brains. Of course the most evident solution is self-learning. Unfortunately another distinctive feature of all human beings is laziness. They even say that the main engine  of progress is  laziness. How many times have we promised to ourselves to start learning something (new language or any other subject) from next Monday? But this Monday never comes. Sometimes we can even buy teach-yourself books and leave them to rest on the bookshelves forever. So actually the most of us need a mentor who pushes us to go forth towards the new knowledge, which can show us the right way… and sometimes a short cut or detour. That is why the most persistent individuals get educational qualifications one by one during all their lives. But this solution won’t do for everybody. First of all the educational institutions can offer only general unified approach to the teaching process. When we learn in group of several students the teacher has to define the average level for all of them and can’t take into account interests, desires, peculiarities and abilities of each student. Besides most of adult people simply have no time to go to university every day. They have to do to work, to bring up children, to do housekeeping and so on. Very often our thirst for knowledge dies under the weight of the daily routine. So what shell we do if can’t find a way to new knowledge by ourselves? Fortunately there are some forces which can help us. Internet where we spend so much time contains the solution also for this situation. We at TutorZ.com offer a wide database of tutors in any subject and in any region within the U.S. You can choose a tutor when you sitting in front of your computer on the basis of any factors which are vital for you and inevitable to make learning effective and comfortable. Somebody prefer to be taught by sophisticated gray-haired professor, for another one it’s easier to deal with a young mentor who has left the university recently and still remembers all the difficulties of learning. But the main benefit is that only the private tutor can find the individual approach to each student. You can study early in the morning or late in the evening or even during your lunch time depending on your work schedule. The intensity of learning also depends only on your personal abilities and you don’t need to catch up with smart alecks (brainiacs) or wait for backwards. If you become sick or go on holidays you don’t have to learn the missed material by yourself. For the most busy or reserved individuals it’s even possible to be taught on-line. The list of benefits can is interminable (endless). The main idea is that our brains are our treasure and we have to take care of them. There is always a way to improve ourselves and we just have to open eyes and see it right in front of us… on the computer screen. Dariyaon
