Huntington Learning Center Shares Four Things Colleges Are Looking For

Huntington Learning Center Shares Four Things Colleges Are Looking For When college is on the horizon for your high school student, its easy to get overwhelmed thinking about the entire process. From researching financial aid to exploring schools to applying, theres a lot to do in a relatively short period of time. Keeping the big picture in mind is important, says Co-Founder and CEO Elieen Huntington of Huntington Learning Center. Parents and students can easily get bogged down with the college tasks, but forget to focus on what really matters, she says. Teens should put most of their effort toward being the best student they can be in order to be attractive candidates for admission to the colleges to which they apply. And what exactly are colleges looking for? Here are four of the most important student traits, as detailed in the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) 2017 edition of the State of College Admission report: Strong grades No surprise, the NACAC reports that grades, admissions officers top decision factor for first-time college students, are extremely important to colleges. This includes both grades in college preparatory classes as well as all other classes. And dont think that all As are created equal. Your teens strength of curriculum matters as wellmeaning, admissions officers will look for Advanced Placement classes, honors classes, International Baccalaureate, and other similar classes that give them an idea how your teen might perform at college. SAT or ACT scores While a students GPA is one important measure of achievement, his or her scores on a standardized college admissions exam are another good way to assess knowledge of the subjects needed for college. These exams also are intended to evaluate readiness for college, measuring students ability to apply what they learn in school outside of the classroom. Writing skills Not all colleges require an admissions essay, but those that do so are looking to get to know prospective students off paper and get a feel for their ability to articulate experiences. Of course, admissions officers are also interested in understanding whether applicants can communicate effectively and organize their thoughts and have a good command of grammar and writing style. Writing, after all, is an invaluable skill at college and something your teen will be expected to do in just about every class. Passion Colleges seek to create a rich campus community with a diverse student body. Although the factor, extracurricular activities was ranked by the NACACs report as being of considerable importance by just 7.9 percent of colleges surveyed, strong essay came in at 18.9 percent and students demonstrated interest in the college at 13.7 percent. These latter two factors prove that students who express their interests, passions and poignant experiences effectively and take initiative to show their interest in a college will set themselves apart and increase their chances of admission. Huntingtonreminds parents to encourage their teens to check out specific admissions information on each colleges website. Often, colleges are forthright in sharing what theyre looking for in candidates, she says. At any school, however, academic performance and strong preparation is of utmost importance.

LSAT Tip of the Week Understanding the Authors Premise

LSAT Tip of the Week Understanding the Author's Premise LSAT Law School Blog The Argument Section on the LSAT requires a brain in critical thinking mode. This article by Magoosh outlines why it is such an important section. You must be able to identify the author’s conclusion, or the point they are trying to make, as well as the evidence used to support that argument. In this article we will focus on the evidence, also called the author’s premise.Let’s consider this example: Miley has to transfer to UCLA. She lost her spot at Harvard and her wife is moving to Los Angeles. We have to understand two things: The point the author is making (the conclusion) and the evidence the author gives to support his argument (the author’s premise). Why does the author think Miley has to transfer to UCLA? First, she lost her spot at Harvard. Second, her wife is moving to Los Angeles. Both of these support the idea that Miley has to transfer to UCLA. We identified the reasons the author is using to support the point they are making. As you tackle the Argument Section, you have to remain aware of both the author’s conclusion and premises so that you can correctly identify any gaps in logic happening between the two.

TutorZ Trademark Accepted

TutorZ Trademark Accepted TutorZ owns a trademark on its logo issued by the Unites States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). To be exact it is service mark. Service marks differ from trademarks as they are used on the advertising of the service rather than on the packaging or delivery of the service, since there is generally no package to place the mark on. The mark was issued in 2008. Here is our trademark: Patent and trademark laws require a renewal after 5 years. We started this process in 2013. The renewal process was perhaps hardener than the initial trademark application. We made technical mistakes such as changing the owner of the trade mark from TutorZ to Dirk Wagner the owner of TutorZ LLC. This required a re-submission of the renewal request. Each mistake costs another $100 in fees to the USPTO. Eventually, we found it easier to get legal help from the trademark experts Lee Associated in Ann Arbor, MI. Jason Lee was very professional, fast and supportive to work with. Thank you Jason! Very disconcerting was the fact that the USPTO initially rejected the renewal saying we cannot obtain a trademark on the word TutorZ because the word is too close to the natural word tutor . Thats an understandable objection or else people might get a trademark on all English words and force us to charge every time we use this word. In any case the way out of the natural word problem is to describe the service mark and embellish it with style and symbols. The USPTO and TutorZ came up with the following description: The mark consists of a teacher (first T) icon and student (smaller T) embedded in the letters of the brand name Tutorz (pronounced Tutor-zee); the filled circles above the letters T represent stylized heads, the horizontal top part of the the letters T with the hanging end-marks represent a students arms and hands, the vertical part of the letter T represents her body; The teachers color is a golden yellow with black drop shadow; the students color is a crimson red with black drop shadow; the remaining letters u, o, r, and z are colored and filled crimson red as well. The teachers color is a golden yellow with black drop shadow; the students color is a crimson red with black drop shadow; the remaining letters u, o,r, and z are colored and filled crimson red as well. TutorZ ownership of the trademark is public record and its USPTO status can be verify. Here is the USPTO Notice of Acceptance. Congratulations to TutorZ!  Another 10 Years of proud trademark ownership!

Stanford the University, the Town, The Tourist site

Stanford the University, the Town, The Tourist site Why write about Stanford, California. I was thinking of places Ive never been in California and Stanford went through my mind, and I decided to take a look at the city of Stanford, not the University of Stanford. Well, as it turns out there is no city of Stanford; rather it is an unincorporated area of Santa Clara County adjacent to the city of Palo Alto.   Stanford has its own post office and two zip codes, one for buildings on campus and another for post office boxes. It even has its own shopping center and medical center along with a very nice residential neighborhood. The main tourist attraction to this non city of Stanford, other than the University, is the   Dish.  It weighs 300,000 pounds and rotates on a circular railway track.   It was placed on a beautiful area of rolling hills with views on a clear day that extends to San Jose, San Francisco, and the East Bay. The Dish was originally funded to be built for the U.S. Air Force at around $4.5 million, in 1966. The purpose at that time was to studying the chemical composition of the atmosphere. However, it turns out that it became very useful in communication with satellites and spacecraft.   In fact it was used to transmit signals to all of the Voyager craft that NASA dispatched into the outer reaches of the solar system. The Dish is still used today, but mostly for academic research. “Hello, is there anyone out there?” How about the real attraction to Stanford, the University?   In 1876, the former Governor of California, Leland Stanford purchased 650 acres of Rancho San Francisquito for his own   personal country home. He then began to build the famous Palo Alto Stock farm. In time he purchased adjoining properties that consisted of more than 8,000 acres. The little town of Palo Alto (tall tree) began to emerge around the amazing redwoods. Additionally, the redwood that inspired the town’s name is still here and later became the universitys symbol and centerpiece of its official seal. Leland Stanford, who is from and educated in New York made his was west after the gold rush and made his money on railroads. Leland and his wife had one son who when turning 15 went with his parents on a trip to Italy where he contacted typhoid fever in 1884 and lost his life. Not too long after his death the Stanford’s decided that since they could not do anything for their own son, the children of California shall be our children. On October 1, 1891, Stanford University opened its doors after six years of planning and building. Of course many people especially back east were very skeptical about this venture, which on its first day opening the school had 15 teachers and a class of 555 students. A very unusual part of this university’s population was that it consists of men and women and had no religious ties. This was extremely unusual at that time. At the last census Stanford had a population of 13,809 of which 7,484 were males and 6,325 female. Also the median age of Stanford is 22.6 years where as the median age of the state of California is 45.6 years. To sum up going from population to the residential situation, suffice for me to say that property values are very high and rentals are just as bad. The estimated median value of a house or condo is $921,158, where the state is about $355,600. Academically, Stanford University boasts the highest percentage of bachelor degree holding residents at 94.6%. Plus; Stanford edged Princeton out of first place into the No. 3 spot on this year’s rankings, which focus on Student Satisfaction (22.5%), Post-Graduate Success (37.5%), Student Debt (17.5%), Graduation Rate (11.25%) and Nationally Competitive Awards (11.25%).   Pomona College moved up to No. 2 from ninth place last year, followed by Princeton University (No. 3), Yale University (No. 4) and Columbia University at No. 5. “Picking a college is one of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime,” says Forbes Executive Editor Michael Noer. “Our college rankings were created to inform consumers about the quality of the educational experience and our brand new financial health grades give insight into which schools will be around for the long-haul.” Of all the University’s to look at as an option for your child or yourself, the United states has many great institution’s to choose from and as I just learned doing a little research Stanford is at the top of the list in many categories. If you happen to be a football fan, Stanford always has a great competitive team. Also many of the players, unlike a lot of athletes at other schools, are graduating with degrees in Engineering and Computer Science. Unlike the athletes that walk out of some school with a degree in advanced finger painting. Just a final thought for you; if you need to boost your skills in any area to prepare for the university curriculum just head to TutorZ.com and you will find what you need to get the job done.

4 Steps to Personalize Tutoring for Students

4 Steps to Personalize Tutoring for Students Tutoring offers many advantages over classroom teaching: the instructional style and even the content can be fitted to an individual students needs. How, then, do you personalize tutoring for your child, teen, or adult family member? First, determine whether the student would benefit from tutoring. Next, decide on the tutoring method: private, online or at a tutoring center. Third, source tutors. Finally, choose the best available tutor. Students tutoring needs are varied and complex. Your child is an individual distinct from millions of grade-level “peers” throughout the world. If you have a gifted and talented child, you may want one or more tutors to help your child achieve his or her full potential in a variety of academic and artistic studies, not just in one area. For a special-needs student, you’ll want a tutor with experience in helping in very particular ways and in a variety of subjects. Your teenager may be preparing for standardized tests, hoping for acceptance at prestigious universities. A tutor with specialty in such tests can help raise scores significantly. An adult family member may be trying to finish a master’s degree, taking challenging courses while working full-time, and in need of a tutor to expedite learning. Perhaps your child has difficulty with concepts in science or mathematics. Learning disabilities are now fairly ubiquitous, with 5% to 8% of school-age children identified as having some kind of disability in mathematics alone. Should your child suffer from Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), s/he needs the extra attention and patience that a tutor specializing in this learning disability provides.  ADHD diagnoses in the US have increased by 42% in the past 8 years. For more details on this statistics see  https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/facts-statistics-infographic. A student with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), even with a mild form of it, will need accommodation and understanding. For example, s/he may feel the need to write with a particular type of pencil or pen, may need to sharpen a pencil often, or may be squeamish about touching other persons papers. Where answering test questions is impaired by a condition, the tutor can gently guide the student to overcome blockages to test-taking â€" even if temporarily. And some special school programs allow for extra time. Those with Dyslexia often need a little more time to read carefully even for math questions. They may be aided with the encouragement to notice when, either visually or mentally, letters or numbers switch. They need encouragement to switch them back mentally before producing an answer. Learning disabilities can often be mitigated, even resolved entirely, by way of the removal of unnatural physical and chemical agents from the students school and home environments and from their diets. Many excellent websites are devoted to removing wifi radiation from the home, clearing dirty electricity (transients) from wiring, maintaining the home environment naturally â€" without commercial chemicals, and removing sugars, gluten, dyes, preservatives, pesticides and genetically modified organisms from food. Nontoxic living is often less expensive â€" allowing more available funds for tutoring. Since 2008, many families have been struggling financially and can barely afford tutoring. These parents can save money by setting up semi-private tutoring with another student with similar needs. Moreover, in the US, the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires that low-performing low-income schools must provide free tutoring services to children who qualify. Step 1: Determine whether your family member would benefit from personalized tutoring. Give personalized tutoring a go if one or more of the following is true: • The student is struggling with homework exercises. • The student’s teachers, and/or the student him or herself, express concern about studies. • The student exhibits a drop in assessment results. • The student receives all perfect scores, and/or is bored, and wishes to move ahead more quickly in studies. • There is simply not enough time to complete all homework and study as required. • Instruction in the classroom appears to be inadequate. While not urgent, you may want to consider hiring a tutor for your family member in order to: • Increase confidence in the student’s favorite subject. • Allow the student to pursue interests that are not provided in a school. • Supplement classroom teaching amidst educational budget cuts. • Ensure the optimal assessment results in preparation for standardized tests and university applications. With the public education system often strained to its limits, and college admissions requirements ever rising, most parents opt for tutoring to resolve difficulties or to give a student a competitive edge. Occasionally, students themselves request tutoring in order to feel more confident in class, or to succeed where classroom teaching is inadequate. The short answer to Step 1? Every student can benefit from personalized tutoring. In fact, as a professional tutor and CEO of TutorZ, Dirk Wagner has never seen a student who did not benefit from tutoring. Even overachieving students gain much from personalized tutoring, achieving more than they could ever have imagined in their best areas. Gifted students also feel especially relieved when they overcome their weaknesses. Now that you have decided to give personalized tutoring a go, consider the various methods of tutoring. Step 2: Decide on the most appropriate method of tutoring. Considering your family member’s predilections and preferences, and your budget, time and travel limitations, you will do well in selecting the most appropriate method of tutoring. Private tutoring is the most common type of tutoring and usually the most desirable for younger children and those with learning disabilities. Private tutors often visit at your home; however, you may prefer to meet at school or another public location. Typically, private tutors have years of experience and know their subjects very well. Tutors who are still attending college know the teachers, textbooks and curricula that will enhance the quality of tutoring seasons. More experienced tutors, usually familiar with contemporary curricula, will also often have produced their own unique, engaging materials that sustain attention and help students achieve their highest potential. Semi-private tutoring can work especially well for middle-school students and teens who do not wish to experience yet more school outside of school. Working alongside a friend or two, the students feel a mild but friendly sense of competition, with which the tutor’s assignments are more likely to be fulfilled. Students enjoy their homework more when they can complete it with the help of a friend or a small team. School-based tutoring can be helpful, in that all curriculum materials are readily at hand. And the tutoring is occasionally free of charge! However, the teachers who provide after-school tutoring may not have a great interest in doing so, relative to the interest of professional tutors. And their teaching methods may not vary much from what occurs in the classroom. Online tutoring has become mainstream, with the proliferation of the Internet. The reasons for deciding to go for online tutoring are compelling: • You are unable to find a top-notch tutor near your home. • You’re looking for a true expert in the subject. • You desire tutoring in a less common subject such as thermodynamics or crocheting. • Your schedule makes attending regular sessions difficult. • You wish to save gas money by not having to commute to the meeting place. Online tutoring allows your child to work with a teacher in real time over the Internet. Communication between student and online tutor is often accomplished using headsets. This way the student’s hands are free to type or to write on an electronic or paper pad. There are many applications available for video conferencing, so that student and tutor can interact face to face and share images of the curriculum content. I recommend Skype, which is fully featured and free for one-to-one connections throughout the world. Subjects like reading, math and programming are well suited for online tutoring. Online tutoring for hands-on subjects such as knitting and learning to play a musical instrument may not seem ideal, but is becoming more popular, nonetheless. In general, the older the student, the easier it is to make online tutoring work well. If your child is too distracted or otherwise unable to sit through an online session, opt for private tutoring. With Internet, there are many tempting distractions beyond the tutoring content. We at TutorZ have found that online tutoring works best for kids when parents accompany the sessions â€" even when parents engage in other activities while present. When parents cannot attend, they usually opt to leave young students with tutoring centers. Tutoring centers are companies that employ tutors with various kinds of experience. Some centers use standardized materials and methods. They may offer diagnostic testing to help develop a learning strategy for the student. Placed with a tutor for sessions one or more times per week, the student and tutor will work together after school, in the evening or on a weekend day. Some tutoring centers offer group and semi-private tutoring, which can be less expensive than individual, private tutoring. You’ll need to decide whether the student will achieve his or her objectives in a group (class), 2-person (semi-private), or one-on-one (private) context. Step 3: Sourcing Tutors Word-of-mouth often works well to source a tutor. Asking other parents and students who have used a tutor can be a good way of ensuring that the tutor is not only capable, but impressive at his or her job. When word-of-mouth has not produced the desired tutoring situation, it’s worth having a look at local newspapers or magazines, bulletin boards in libraries, community colleges and even grocery stores. You might also check on community sites such as craigslist. Tutors tend to advertise their services somewhat informally. Eventually, these traditional methods tend to give way to online tutor referrals. Today, the quickest and most effective way of finding a personal tutor is by way of an online search. Many tutors have their own websites, and there are several tutor directories that list home educators by area. When looking for a tutor, think about the keywords that will bring up what you seek: the subject, level and geographic area of the tutor. For example, searching for “math tutor in Houston, TX” will show you a dozens of good sites. Be as specific as you can in entering your Google or (better yet, for privacy) Startpage query. For example, if you’re look for a college calculus tutor, then it’s better to enter more specifically “calculus college tutor in Houston, TX”. The search results will surely help to resolve difficulties with your college math! The Internet has produced wonderful changes. While advertising ads on craigslist or backpage was state-of-the-tech during the Web 1.0 generation, we are fortunate today to have tutoring marketplace companies, such as TutorZ.com. These new types of tutoring services maintain an eBay-like marketplace where you are able to choose from literally tens of thousands of tutors! Treated as independent contractors, these tutor-contractors are rated and reviewed and have passed application tests. Moreover, criminal background checks can be purchased, as desired. Sourcing a tutor is now as easy as ABC. Simply type your search query (e.g. “calculus college tutor in Houston, TX”) into the TutorZ’ search box and screen the in-person tutors nearby. These tutoring marketplace sites protect families from tutors with less than stellar reputations â€" and visa versa. And they bring you’re the highest-quality available tutors. Step 4: Choosing the Right Tutor Choosing the right tutor presupposes choice. The choice offered by local classified tutoring ads or even craigslist listings is often insufficient. That’s where these Internet tutoring marketplaces shine: They offer dozens to thousands of tutors in your local area. TutorZ has an impressive selection of over 40,000 certified and trusted tutors. Whether you prefer a female tutor for your young daughter or an PhD expert for a statistics research paper, a caring special education tutor for a child suffering from ADHD, or simply a tutor who is affordable â€" TutorZ has them all. While choice is good, making the right match is your final step. Research conducted by TutorZ shows that the blend of technology and human intelligence matches students with tutors most easily, efficiently and effectively. Here, too, you may request personalized matching and a tutoring consultation to perfect your choice. In summary, tutoring needs differ between students; but virtually all students benefit from tutoring. Whether private, semi-private or online tutoring is sought, we recommend you shop for tutors on new, online tutoring marketplaces like TutorZ. Here you are empowered through choice and personalized matchmaking to find the very best tutor for your needs.
