What Motivates People - Private Tutoring

What Motivates People BobbiM Mar 31, 2014 Read this wonderful section from the book , You may not realize it but you are always motivated. No matter where you are or what you are doing, you are always motivated to do something even if its just sleeping. Focusing your motivation on learning, however, may be challenging sometimes. Its important to understand right from the beginning that you are responsible for your own motivation, even in courses that you dont like. Although an interesting instructor makes it easier for you do stay motivated, no one can directly motivate you to learn. But given that you are always motivated to do something and that you are primarily responsible for your motivation, there are some differences between students who are motivated to learn and students who are not. You may have heard the terms INTRINSIC and EXTRINSIC, especially as they relate to motivation. Intrinsic motivation occurs when the activity is its own reward. For example, some people read for the sheer enjoyment, others like to calculate numbers for the pleasure of it. Still others like to conduct experiments for the thrill of discovery. Think of intrinsic privation as being curious about something or doing something you choose to do. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, occurs when your incentive is a reward, such as grades or praise. Think of extrinsic motivation as trying to get it done rather than for the sake of learning. For example, you may be failing organic chemistry, but when the professor offers an extra credit assignment, you decide to do it even though you are not motivated to learn in the course. In this case, you are extrinsically motivated to earn extra credit points that can boost your course grade rather than by learning organic chemistry for the sheer pleasure of it. The more you are intrinsically motivated to learn, the easier learning will be for you. The key to becoming intrinsically motivated, even in classes you dont particularly like, is to find SOMETHING about the course that you find motivating and try to focus on the positives about the course rather than the negatives. It also helps to focus more in understanding the concepts to be learned rather than focusing solely on grades. Excerpt from  College Success Strategies  by Sherrie L. Nist and Jodi Patrick Holschuh.

Future Leader is Inspired to Change the World

Future Leader is Inspired to Change the World Future Leader is Inspired to Change the World Amina, 10-years-old, Math Level K, Reading Level K “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” â€" Malala Yousafzai 10-year-old Amina dreams of world peace. A world where there’s no war, poverty, or orphans. A world where there’s justice and equal opportunity for education, no matter your race or gender. Amina’s passion for changing the world is at the root of Kumon’s mission. “By discovering the potential of each individual and developing his or her ability to the maximum, we aim to foster sound, capable people and thus contribute to the global community.”- Toru Kumon Amina wants to influence change, just as her role model Malala Yousafzai has done. Being an avid reader, Amina first discovered Malala Yousafzai’s story through reading her memoir, I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education. Yousafzai is an activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate. Her story became a beacon of hope for many, including Amina. She was so moved by Yousafzai’s story that she knew she wanted to be a part of the change as well. Amina has her sights set on becoming the future Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada. “The most beneficial thing I’ve learned in Kumon is perseverance,” said Amina. “Nothing will ever be easy, and practice makes perfect. Without perseverance, I would have never become the strong individual I am now. Kumon has helped me overcome many challenges and has helped me believe that I can become the best version of myself.” Amina’s journey in Kumon began when she was just 6-years-old. She has since made remarkable strides and has gained an academic edge over her peers. Her achievements are a true testament to her hard work and perseverance. In the Kumon Reading Program, she can say she has already analyzed pieces of literature that are typically covered in high school, like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In the Kumon Math Program, she is currently working above grade level on algebraic concepts like quadratic and linear functions. With Amina’s boost in confidence from Kumon, she tackles challenges head on with a “Yes, I can do it” attitude. Outside of the classroom, she isn’t afraid to try anything, especially when it comes to competition. Amina has developed a love for gymnastics and has taken her abilities to the competitive level. It’s no surprise that Amina has caught the attention of judges as she has walked off with several medals and ribbons. When we asked Amina what her key to success is, she said, “Staying focused helps me achieve my goals efficiently and effectively â€" no matter what I am doing.” Already on the path to success, she will be able to achieve her goals as a future leader, and influence positive change around the world. Amina’s hard work and discipline didn’t go unnoticed, as she was one of 55 students selected to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference in Calgary, Canada. We had the opportunity to speak to Amina about her Kumon journey. How has Kumon helped you inside of the classroom? The Kumon Math Program has put me ahead of my peers since I’ve already worked on many of the concepts being covered in school. I can work independently on challenging equations. My teacher has given me the privilege to help mark my classmates’ school work and help them with their math when needed. The Kumon Reading Program has expanded my vocabulary and I can easily summarize long reading passages. This really benefits me when we are reading novels in school. How has Kumon helped you outside of the classroom? Kumon has improved my focus and staying focused is extremely important no matter what I am doing. I have learned if I stay on task with completing my work on time, I can better balance my busy schedule. What is the most beneficial thing you’ve learned in Kumon? My Instructor Jenny taught me that by doing a little bit of work each day, it will make a huge difference in the long run. If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? Incredible. What did it mean to you attending the Student Conference? It was such an honor to attend the Student Conference and learn from other Kumon Students. The experience was truly inspirational, and it encouraged me to work even harder, achieve higher, and challenge more. One day I would like to be one of the student speakers so I can motivate other Kumon Students. What advice do you have for other Kumon Students? If you are working on a challenging level, remember that a Kumon Program completer was once in your shoes. With their hard work, they kept going and were able to achieve greatness.

Your Semesters Financial Stressor Buying Course Materials

Your Semester's Financial Stressor Buying Course Materials via Pexels Course materials are ridiculously expensive, so many students say they make sacrifices in order to be able to afford what they need for their classes. While some students go without food, others sign up for fewer classes at a time or change their major altogether. About one-third of college students say they dont take trips home to visit with their family and friends because they have to pay for expensive course materials. Students are beginning to demand more and more accessible textbook options, stating that having electronic versions of textbooks would have a positive impact on their grades. Simply having access to the material is more important to our college students than actually owning the textbooks. For this reason, students spend a large chunk of time researching cheaper ways to get their textbooks at the beginning of the semester. Textbooks may seem like a small part of todays college experience, but theyre actually a large part of the financial burden our college students are feeling. When it comes to gender differences, women feel that expensive textbooks are more of a financial burden to them than men. This same Cengage survey found that female students will use scholarship money to pay for their books, take out student loans, or buy outdated versions of textbooks just to save money. A larger percentage of female college students feel that textbooks are a financial burden in comparison to men. While the majority of college students feel that course materials and textbooks are way overpriced (87%), its part of the college experience in todays society. College tuition seems to be getting more and more expensive by the day, but so are textbooks! Most students are struggling to pay their tuition, much less get their hands on all the material they need for their courses. Cengages survey brings concrete data to the center of this conversation. Students are struggling to pay for college but they are especially struggling to pay for their textbooks. Are you worried about how youre going to pay for your textbooks this semester? Check out Cengages new subscription service, where you can pay a semester fee and get access to thousands of educational materials. Its called Cengage Unlimited. Check it out here.

A student may be fascinated by chemistry but may not know what chemistry is. Thus, they will need to take an option where they will be able to understand the concepts of chemistry. Therefore, by hiring an online chemist you can teach yourself.You will also have to find out the types of questions that are likely to be asked by your pupils or other individuals in your class. You can always go on about the fundamentals of chemistry and when necessary you can give practical tips in order to develop a better understanding about the subject.Once you find the right che mistry tutor for you, you should consider making use of other resources. In fact, using the internet can really help you get a jump on the competition.A good tutor will provide you with various online resources to do your homework for you. These resources will enable you to collect the necessary materials to get you through your assignment. These online resources can also assist you in preparing your research papers and exam papers.Another important aspect of finding a chemistry tutor is to make sure that you get the best one. Remember, you will be teaching yourself, therefore, you need to be sure that you are getting the best from the said tutor.You should also ask yourself whether you want to take any synthetic material from them. This is because it will be beneficial for you to get the same information from the same resource that you would get from your physics teacher.

What Is Chemistry?

What Is Chemistry?Chemistry is a field that uses tools and techniques to discover how two substances react with each other. It is considered a broad topic and is approached in different ways by different chemistry courses.The basics of chemistry may be learned in a basic chemistry course and beyond that, students may require additional chemistry courses to expand their knowledge and abilities. A wide variety of skills are required to conduct proper experiments and analyze chemical reactions.In chemistry, the starting point is basic chemistry, which deals with the development of chemical elements and the basic methods of chemical reactions. It also involves the study of the structure of atoms and molecules and the role of mass and charge in physics. The materials used in chemistry usually include solvents and the periodic table of elements.Chemical engineering involves the study of the nature of the reaction between substances. It is the modern chemistry that covers the transfer of en ergy from one substance to another, which is commonly known as chemical evolution. After the industrial revolution, chemists studying engineering had to work out new materials and processes for their industry, because of the need to create chemical products.The study of chemistry in medical sciences is now popularly known as diagnostic chemistry. It covers the understanding of the nature of chemical compounds, and their interaction with each other and the human body. This area includes the study of the development of cancer and its treatment.The study of chemistry in other fields is a common application in everyday life. A good example is in engineering where people study how electrical power is generated, which is a combination of the chemistry of electricity and the physics of an object being made of electricity.All these fields have their specific scientific areas of study. Each of these disciplines is vital in the development of society, and it is believed that all would benefit from having an additional science course.

Practice Tips Vocal Warm-Ups Technique

Practice Tips Vocal Warm-Ups Technique Suzy S. Structuring your vocal warm-ups and practice between lessons can make a huge impact on your success. Here, Bloomfield, NJ teacher  Zachary B.  shares some helpful tips In my experience, many students make progress during a lesson and often return to the next lesson with the new skills forgotten. Merely practicing songs, without specific structure usually leads to singing the song repeatedly. While this does familiarize you with the song, it does not help you improve from a technical standpoint, as it excludes warm-ups and technical work. So whats the solution? I structure the practice routine for each of my students, so they know what do. Effective practice consists of: 1. Warm-up 2. Vocal Technique 3. Song study 4. Cooldown A breakdown of the first two elements are elements are the point of focus in this blog, as they are usually neglected. The purpose of a warm-up is to prepare to the body and voice for the activity of singing. This is done through the release of unnecessary physical tension and awareness of healthy voice production. The warm up can be broken into two areas: I.Physical warm-ups II. Vocal warm-ups Physical Warm-Ups Physical warm-ups should consist of stretches, such as shoulder, neck and full body rolls and self massage of neck and facial muscles in particular. These are used to reduce unnecessary physical tension and produce a healthy body alignment for singing. Vocal Warm-Ups Vocal warm-ups should consist of lip trills, humming, and sighs. The purpose of vocal warm-ups is to get the voice ready for more dynamic activity and to reduce unnecessary laryngeal/pharyngeal tension. Lips trills focus on initiating tone and steady airflow. Humming also focuses on initiating tone with a focus on forward resonance, which is highly valued in contemporary singing. Sighing is a great way to elevate unwanted vocal tension. Tips for More Efficient Vocal Warm-Ups Warm up in descending patterns using the 5th  interval from the top of the tessitura (comfort range) to the bottom. (e.g. C to F, B â€" E etc.) Extremes in range should be avoided in the warm-up stage. Slide from the first note down to the fifth note to induce laryngeal relaxation. Do not target each note. Vocal Technique This part of practice consists of exercises aimed at voice building and correcting vocal faults. Exercises should reflect the needs of the students and be integrated with the repertoire being worked on in the lesson. Although these areas of practice (vocal technique song practice) are clearly defined, integration of exercises and repertoire is of great importance, and is more effective than working on each area individually. Therefore exercises should be integrated with the repertoire, by being in similar ranges, keys and working on similar vowel shapes. If you have 30 minutes each day to practice, aim to spend 10 to 15 minutes (or 25 minutes  in an hour practice session) of that time on vocal warm-ups exercises. Happy Practicing!
