Our Social Mission
Our Social Mission For every student who pays, we provide free tutoring for a child who can't. To do this we work with outstanding social entrepreneurs to deliver tutoring in challenging inner city schools. Alex Kelly is the founder of The Access Project. When he was 21 he became a teacher at Highbury Grove School that had sent on average 1 pupil to a Russell Group university every other year for the last ten years. He was given a class of bright 12 year-olds and made it his mission to help them progress. Four years later the school sent 10 students to Russell Group universities. Determined to spread what he had learnt to more schools he has secured donations to set up projects in other schools and set the target of being in all of the 130 most deprived schools in the UK by 2016. www.theaccessproject.org.uk/ Susannah Clark is the inspirational tutor behind Action Tutoring. She, and an incredible network of city professionals, started volunteering in schools in 2010. Word got round and by 2011 she had teams of volunteers in 15 London schools. They work alongside teachers, supporting the pupils with Maths and English. Action Tutoring are expanding into 40 schools in autumn 2012 and changing the lives of hundreds of children who didnât previously have access to tutors. www.actiontutoring.org.uk/ Sharla Duncan started YELP students (which became Team Up) at Kingâs College in 2007 where she set up a university club to volunteer in a local school. When she went to do her masters at Oxford she set up another three teams and then had the idea to grow and help 50,000 students by 2016. She now works out of Phoenix Secondary School in Shepherds Bush helping networks of bright students work with pupils in challenging schools. www.teamup.org.uk/ When you book you will see 5% of the cost being donated to our charity, the Tutorfair Foundation. We add to this with our own fundraising and then use it to help Alex, Susannah and Sharla. We involve our own tutors wherever possible in some big one-off events and some ongoing small group tuition. Please help us do more:

Get Aquainted with Business Attire Now
Get Aquainted with Business Attire Now Look provided by chictopia.com You are going to college to help make a career for yourself right? To become something? Find that perfect job? Well, you may as well get acquainted with business attire now. There really is no point in waiting. With all of the networking, job fairs, and internships you will embark on in college, pristine business attire is a must. Stand out from your classmates with these 5 dress-to-impress: 1. Invest in collared shirts- and Im not talking about the Polo shirt with a collar. I mean the Oxford style button down. These are classy for both men and women (and ladies- they come tailored just for you now). Choose your color and fit and make this traditional style your own without stepping outside the business dress standards. 2. Ties are in- Gentlemen, get yourself a tie. If you want to sport a newer style, buy a skinny tie. This adds a little flare to your style while making an impression at the same time. The bowtie is even acceptable in many places these days. And of course, it will compliment yourOxford shirt. 3. The classic pencil skirt- This little gem will take you far ladies. The pencil skirt can be nearly any color (I said nearly- skip the lime green and bright yellow) and still evoke a business like feeling. Dress it up with a belt and cardigan and keep your fashion sense while still showing your mature side. 4. Keep your heel height in check- You donât have to wear flats everyday, but those sky-high 6 inchers arenât going to do it either. Believe it or not, many business atmospheres are still a bit conservative. You want to project a classy style- not a dancer style. A mid-size heel should compliment your outfit perfectly. Donât fret- all those fun camis, shorts, wedges, and Converse donât have to go to waste. Just set them aside when I business prospect is near.
Beijing No.35 high school
Beijing No.35 high school Beijing No.35 high school Beijing No. 35 High Schools International Department (Est. 2012) is located in Beijings Daxing district, about 40 minutes from the downtown area of the city. Beijing 35 (Est. 1923), altogether, has four campuses; a regular high school in Beijings central Xicheng district, a middle school, and a vocational college. If you come, you would work for the International Department and would have the choice to live in either the city (each morning catching a shuttle bus from Beijings Guomao area), or in Caiyu town, Daxing District where the International Department is located. Academically, Beijing 35s International Department is part of a crucial stage in development. As our enrollment has skyrocketed in recent years, we are becoming more selective about the students we receive. The school had a brand 6 floor teaching building with state-of-the-art facilities containing computer labs, a music room, exercise facility, dance room, a multipurpose room, classrooms, offices, staff tea/coffee room, etc. All rooms have a large touch screen monitor television connected to a computer and overhead projector (camera enabled, not the mirrored kind). To be clear, Beijing 35 is a dynamic institution that is constantly striving to improve itself. Thus, we seek teachers with at least a Masters in their subject, the right experience, good references, certification and a passion for teaching. This is because, in addition to some courses specific to only Beijing No. 35 High School, we additionally cooperate with the Keystone School in the U.S. for dual Sino-US diplomas, with the Northern Consortium of UK Universities (NCUK) on their International Foundation Year (IFY), with US Pathway Program administered through Northeastern University and Kaplan International, and additionally we provide specialized training for grade three students applying individually to world-wide universities. As a teacher here, you may be expected to work on any of these programs; which I believe would suit your professional development goals nicely, and certainly enrich your experience!
Summer Starts Now!
Summer Starts Now! Well summer officially starts today June 21st and ends on Saturday September 21st. So, what does it mean to me, to you? What do we do? Hey I know! How about a music festival? We could start with Electric Forest, coming up June 27th in Rothbury, MI. You could catch; âThe String Cheese Incidentâ, âPretty Lightsâ, âPassion Pitâ, âEmpire of the Sunâ, or the Australian duo, âKnife Partyâ? Sounds like fun right? OK, maybe not for me, Iâm over thirty. A lot over thirty! How about Gathering of the Vibes in Bridgeport, CT. on July 25-28? They will have âPhil Lesh Friendsâ, âThe Black Crowesâ, âTedeschi Trucks Bandâ, âGrace Potter The Nocturnalsâ, âThe Roots, and âFunky Metersâ. Some of these bands I even know who they are, so for the younger set this could not be so hot. Finally, Camp Bisco in Mariaville, NY on July 11-13. This one includes âAeroplaneâ, âAnimal Collectiveâ, âBassnectarâ, âBoys Noizeâ, âCom Truiseâ, âDan Deaconâ, âDillon Francisâ, âDisco Biscuitsâ and âFlosstradamusâ. Of course there are many larger and smaller venues throughout the three month span of summer. This is just a small taste of whatâs out there. So if live music and lots of people having a good time is your thing there will be plenty for you to do. If you have young children or teens there are day camps and sleep away camps galore. I used those a lot back in the day, because I was a single parent and getting a little break was crucial to my sanity and maybe yours too. Nothing like kids in a healthy fun environment with counselors and activity coaches running them ragged with fun activities, so that when they get back home they are too tired to give you trouble. Summer camps come in all kinds of shapes sizes and price rangeâs to meet most needs. I recall one summer sending my daughter to a place called Golden Arrow summer camp in northern California. Although I think the name Golden must have been what the camp thought the parents were made out of because it was so expensive. In other words, if you have to ask how much, you probably couldnât afford it. Thankfully for me, it was a gift from a grateful in-law. Who would have thought? Finally, on the home front, summer at home is not so bad, if you keep the younger ones busy. A good recipe for this is balance. Making sure there is plenty of time for a few fun little trips to playgrounds, parks, and maybe an amusement park. Then, adding in some structured time, preparing for the next school year with some tutoring work. Tutoring in the summer can be less expensive, especially independent tutors, tutors that do not work for a tutoring company, may be more willing to negotiate their rates. Summer is often a slow time for tutors that make their sole living at tutoring students. Which means many would be willing to give a special deal to the right parent/student over the holiday. Whatever grade level or situation, I found that tutors, specifically from TutorZ.com, have helped my family and I through some pretty rough academic times. So, take what you will and file the rest away for future reference. And remember balance. Not all work and not all play. OK?
Tips to Stimulate the Teen Brain from Findings in Neuroscience

Great Education Through Tutoring Education
Great Education Through Tutoring EducationTutoring education in the US and Canada can be found with many teaching institutes. The institutes which offer tutoring education in the US and Canada are all very well established with good reputations. They are highly regarded by both parents and children for their regular high quality tutoring service. They also offer unique tutoring classes that are based on a particular subject.Tutoring is regarded as a form of teaching in which a student is taught and trained to teach others. This is often done in group discussions where the teacher does not address the students directly. The lesson that is taught is much like the classroom, the students and teachers are just separated into two rooms and the discussion is only between the students and the teacher. The students and teachers spend a specific period in a room together. Some areas of the lessons are referred to the students as 'lines'.In some countries, tutoring is taught through the intern et. There are many online tutoring institutions where the tutors work and live through the internet. There are also some schools in India and other parts of the world where there are internet related tutoring courses for students. Other than these, there are many companies who sell tutoring education and have their own institutes or centres.Tutoring education is a science and it requires the same procedure for any educational institution. When you visit a classroom where there is no class teachers, you see that the students do not get anxious. They are able to do very well. Similarly, the class teachers get nervous when they enter the class where there is no one to guide them. There is always the fear that the teacher may forget his/her lesson or should give it in a wrong way.To overcome this, the students with poor handwriting must be made to write by the tutor himself or herself. Or if there is a need, a public speaker could be asked to speak on the lessons. This would then give t he student confidence and feel a sense of achievement as he/she has become competent.The students too need encouragement and support to succeed. It is a fact that once you do not get proper tutoring education, it becomes difficult to compete at higher levels. Hence, you must spend a considerable amount of time in getting a good tutor education.Learning without the support from a teacher is as if you were learning alone. On the other hand, the tutoring sessions done by a tutor are akin to an education session. Thus, taking up tutoring education is seen as important as the acquisition of learning.

The Connection Between Brain Chemistry and Depression
The Connection Between Brain Chemistry and DepressionThere is no doubt that the mind, the brain chemistry and depression do have a connection. Studies show that depressed people often have a low level of serotonin in their bodies, while those with an improved neurotransmitter known as norepinephrine may also be prone to depression. It is very important to learn more about the brain and its function, both in healthy and ill conditions, so that you can better deal with it.In the modern society, we are more at risk to illnesses and diseases than ever before. We are exposed to germs and toxins day in and day out, and it is generally believed that much of this exposure is through food. The 'chemical soup' of our food contains a large amount of chemicals known as 'endotoxins,' which can take many forms, including things that cause cell damage, and even some forms that affect the brain.When the body is experiencing some stress, the hormones that regulate the body and the mind can be altered , which can lead to depression. Some researchers believe that having a weak immune system as a result of several illnesses, such as diabetes or cancer, may also cause depression. It is believed that this can happen because the brain's ability to balance the hormones involved in regulating mood is lowered, as a result of which feelings of melancholy are triggered. Other research indicates that smoking and drinking too much can be stressful for the brain as well.To avoid such situations, you need to be aware of your body's health, and take care of your emotional state. By paying attention to your diet, and to exercise regularly, you can do something about your brain chemistry and depression.Our brain chemicals are changed through the chemical reactions that occur in the nervous system when we receive information. The way these chemicals are altered can affect the way the brain functions, and the way that it can react to the environment. For example, a particular chemical can alter the brain chemicals as a result of being in a stressful situation, thus causing us to be more depressed than usual.There are some ways in which depression can be treated. Because the disease has a genetic component, there are various treatments available, both prescribed and self-treatment methods. If you are suffering from depression, you should see a doctor to get advice on how best to handle the disease.Some people may choose to use psychotherapy to cope with their depression. Most importantly, however, is the fact that you can help yourself by learning more about the brain and treating yourself with its proper care. You don't have to suffer, and you don't have to live in fear anymore, since you can learn about the brain chemistry and depression.
