A Math Tutor For Your Campus Preparation

A Math Tutor For Your Campus PreparationIf you want to go back to school for an easier college education or simply improve your average grade, a math tutor is the most logical choice. Getting a math tutor is easy since there are a number of online math tutors on the internet who offer their services for free.First, you have to decide if you will work with a tutor or if you will go to school for your own math lessons. Once you make this decision, it is time to decide on the type of math tutor you will be getting. There are some really good online math tutors who can teach you algebra and even calculus.Of course, these kinds of math tutors come at a cost. You can save yourself the cost of hiring a math tutor by using the free math tutors. You need to look at your options before choosing the best online math tutor for you.One thing to consider is if you would rather learn math online, this might be a better option. The best part about math online is that you can learn anything you like from anywhere in the world. Just because you want to study something doesn't mean you have to spend your life in school or sitting behind a desk.An online math tutor is a great resource for students that are homeschooled or do not have access to a local math tutor. Online math tutors will offer online tutorials so you can learn at your own pace. You can study and learn at your own pace without worrying about making time to catch up on homework or doing homework at home.However, not everyone will be able to use online math tutors, so the best option would be to find a math tutor in your area who can tutor you through your local community college. This will give you the opportunity to see the math online but still get the benefits of a personal tutor. If you live in a high crime area, this might not be possible, so it might be better to find a math tutor locally.Since there are so many math courses being offered at high schools, it is important to know the different math courses and h ow they are being taught. So, when looking for a math tutor, make sure you choose one who can help you meet your needs and make sure you find someone who can work with you as well.

Metal Guitar

Metal Guitar How Much Do You Know About the Metal Guitar? ChaptersThe History of the Metal GuitarThe Different Types of Metal GuitarMetal Guitar’s Technical AspectsStrings for Electric GuitaristsFamous Metal GuitaristsMetal Guitar LessonsIf you’ve ever heard a Hendrix tune, rocked out to Metallica or pogoed to the Sex Pistols, you’ve at least heard a metal guitar.Sure, the acts listed above are old-timey references; music has gotten so much more diverse, hasn’t it? But would you believe that today’s music still draws on the influence of those big names and others?The metal guitar came about at a time of great social upheaval, when youths on both sides of the pond and all across Europe were rebelling against the niceness of their parents’ musical tastes.The loud, screeching â€" almost discordant sounds made by this guitar and amplified to over 100 decibels seemed, in many ways, to reflect the simmering anger of the times, giving it license to spill over in concert arenas and in the streets.They were exciting, invigorating times, fraught with danger and exploration, all done to the tune of a metal guitar.Come with us now as we explore this instrument of chaos, this weapon of liberation… this guitar that stands for all of the anger of a generation â€" and how it has changed its tune over time. Imagine soloing on this 1932 prototype electric guitar known as a frying pan! Source: Wikipedia Credit: Museum of Making MusicBy the time George Beauchamp, the pioneering manager of the National Guitar Corporation applied for a patent electrical stringed instrument, other manufacturers were designing their own electric guitars.His patent was issued in 1937, in case you were curious.While Gibson’s ES-150 1936 model electric guitar, featuring a single-coil, hexagon-shaped ‘bar’ pickup was quite successful, it wasn’t until Les Paul built his solid-body ‘log guitar’ that things really got cooking.The Gibson Les Paul was introduced in 1952 and music would never be the same again.The 50s and 60s saw a revolution in music; gone were the big bands, replaced by what became known as popular music.Cliff Richard and the Shadows’ hit, Move It, is credited as being the first British rock’n’roll hit, American style. If you watch the video closely, you’ll notice something about t he two guitars…We’ll give you a hint: how many strings do they have? And do you know how many strings a flamenco guitar usually has?The Different Types of Metal GuitarNaturally, when we say ‘metal guitar’ we mean guitars used for metal music â€" heavy metal, thrash, speed, grindcore, black, power, death and doom. Those names sound rather ominous but the music is really not so bad.All of these types of metal music and others not mentioned all rely on the electric guitar. The differences lie in how they are constructed, how many strings they have and the sound effects it can make.For instance, the solid-body guitar relies on electric pickups and an amplifier to transmit its sound. If you have such a guitar handy, try strumming it without plugging it in; the sound is flat and hollow.A chambered-body guitar helps achieve a quasi-acoustic tone while still retaining the essential characteristics and sound of an unchambered guitar. Another advantage is that it is often a bit lighte r than solid-body guitars.A semi-acoustic guitar has roughly the same depth as a solid-body guitar but its body is hollow and the electronic pickups are on the body rather than built-in.Like its fully acoustic counterpart, the semi-acoustic is made from thin sheets of wood. While its acoustic properties are not sufficient for a live concert performance, the guitar player may unplug it and strum it as they would a classical guitar.If you were playing at an ‘unplugged’ session, you would likely want a full hollow-body guitar. They are considered electric guitars because they have fitted pickups. And, like semi-acoustic guitars, they have f-shaped sound holes.An electric-acoustic guitar may be outfitted in several different ways: a piezoelectric pickup under the instrument’s bridge or on the bridge mounting plate, or they may have a condenser microphone inside their body.This type of electric guitar is considered more an acoustic instrument than an electric one because the pickup s transmit vibration from the guitar body rather than from the strings. A neck-through guitar does not necessarily call for any unusual guitar techniques to play it Source: Wikipedia Credit: Kirkwood123The reason for the seventh string is to increase the range of playing; it adds a lower B without sacrificing the treble notes. In some cases, the added string may add to the treble range, while keeping the bass range of a six-string.Tuning a metal guitar, whether it has six strings or seven, works much the same way as a regular guitar; the guitar player simply incorporates a lower B, resulting in B1-E2-A2-D3-G3-B3-E4. If yours is a six-string, simply omit the B1.Naturally, there are other ways to tune this guitar; for instance, a seven-string jazz guitarist might prefer dropped-A tuning (A1-E2-A2-D3-G3-B3-E4); metal musicians opt for this tuning because it makes it easier to play power chords.This final tidbit might be stating the obvious: you cannot buy a pack of six strings and a random seventh. If you have a seven-string guitar, you must shop for a 7-pa ck of strings. Long gone are the days when a lone guitarist picking a guitar could hold audiences in a thrall Image by Pexels from PixabayFamous Metal GuitaristsAs we mentioned at the start of this article, the electric guitar revolutionised music and gave birth to new types of music. Today, the typical metal band â€" no matter which type generally has not one but two guitarists: a rhythm and a lead.The lead guitarist is often the focus of the band. It is the lead who gets the guitar solos, plays the catchy riffs and comes up with the best licks.Some of the best metal guitarists of all time include (but are not limited to):Randy Rhoads (Quiet Riot, Ozzy Ozbourne)Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath)Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen)Slash (Guns’n’Roses)Ace Frehley (Kiss)Yngwie MalmsteenDave Mustaine (Megadeth)Brian May (Queen)Jeff BeckVivian Campbell (Def Leppard)Of course, there are many, many other great guitarists out there who play all types of guitar; if we’ve missed your fav, won’t you let us know in th e comments below?Metal Guitar LessonsThe late 50s to the mid-90s was a great time to be in love with music.New genres were established seemingly every day; there probably wasn’t a teenager alive who didn’t at least flirt with the idea of forming or joining a band.That may even hold true today, in spite of electronic music now being the vogue.Still, there is substantial value in being more than a Guitar Hero; the feel and warmth of a genuine musical instrument, cradled close to the body drives guitar players to want to go beyond the latest software release.If indeed you intend to wow audiences with your guitar licks and fingerpicking, you’re going to have to learn how to play the guitar.You will have to learn the pentatonic scale and chord progressions, learn to play arpeggios and pick up on strumming patterns.While it is true that you could learn a lot from online guitar lessons â€" those video tutorials on YouTube, they would not necessarily serve you well because they cannot provide you with any feedback.How will you know what you’re doing right or wrong if you don’t have a guitar instructor to guide you?The best way to learn guitar playing and all of its aspects including how to read tablature is to find a qualified instructor and, if you were hoping for private guitar lessons, your search is already halfway done!Superprof has hundreds of guitar instructors all over the UK. Whether you need guitar lessons for beginners â€" gotta learn those fundamentals before any guitar tricks, or electric guitar lessons, Superprof has guitar instruction for you.There are even Superprof guitar tutors to learn the rock guitar...

Checklist for Rising Seniors

Checklist for Rising Seniors Junior year is certainly one of the busiest (if not the busiest) year for many students. Most students have gone through a full round of testing (SAT, PSAT, ACT, SAT Subject Tests), survived two semesters of finals (and probably a round of AP exams), as well as kept up with all their extracurricular activities on their resumes. The transition from such a full, busy year to college application season can be a tough one.Many students and parents navigate this time all on their own.Here at AJ, we help students navigate the testing process intensively. We help them plan their testing timelines in order to best prepare them for, eventually, the application process. For many rising seniors, the late summer and fall of their senior years are the last chance to take any exams before sending in their applications. A common question I get from many of my rising seniors is “When is the latest test date that I can take the SAT/ACT?” My answer is always the same: “It depends.”There are a few things to research as a rising senior in preparation for the application process.1. What tests did I take that this college will accept? Did I take all the tests that may have been required for my major?Note that colleges typically do not discriminate between the SAT and ACT. Nearly every college accepts either one, but it’s always a good idea to check whether they’d like to see your SAT Subject Tests, your AP exams and if they require the essay. (We always recommend taking the essay portion of the SAT/ACT so that you always have that door open to add colleges that may require them!) Additionally, if you’re applying to a certain major, it’s helpful to check the notes on whether they “highly recommend” (which usually means you should do them) certain Subject Tests. Additionally, if you’re applying to some sort of specialized or accelerated program, there are typically additional or varying requirements. Be sure to check!2. When is the last test date they will accept ?Many colleges actually make this information easily accessible on their websites under their admissions requirements. If it’s unclear there, it’s never a bad idea to call the admissions office to simply ask. Most of the time, they will have an answer for you right away. Keep in mind that this likely varies for Early Action/Early Decision and Regular Decision.3. Will colleges require all of your scores to be sent?Some colleges allow for score choice, whereas some would like to see all of your attempts. Some colleges will also super score and take the best scores from all your attempts to evaluate your highest scores. Additionally, some schools have test-optional policies where it’s up to you whether you’d like to include it on your application.4. When are the SAT and ACT offered, just in case you need to take the test again or if you need to squeeze in some subject tests?SAT test dates: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/register/dates-deadlinesSAT is usually offe red in August, October, November, December, March, May, June. All months have subject test offerings except for March. Note that you cannot take the reasoning test and the subject test on the same day.ACT test dates: https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/registration.htmlACT is usually offered in September, October, December, February, April and June. (Note that California does not offer the July date).Remember to register early! Fall dates fill up quickly, so be sure to plan ahead.Keep in mind that things also vary between schools. Not all public or private schools have the same deadlines. See some examples below of information that colleges have provided on their admissions pages:UC Berkeley: https://admissions.berkeley.edu/freshmen-requirementsSelectionSince Berkeley is a competitive campus, satisfying the minimum requirements is often not enough to be competitive for selection. In addition to the basic admission requirements, the campus selects its fre shman class through an assessment that includes a holistic review of your academic performance as measured primarily by:Your weighted and unweighted UC grade point average (calculated using 10th and 11th grade UC-approved courses only)Your planned 12th grade coursesYour pattern of grades over timeThe number of college preparatory, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), honors and transferable college courses you have completedYour level of achievement in those courses relative to other UC applicants at your schoolYour scores on AP or IB examsYour scores on the ACT Assessment Plus Writing or the SAT Reasoning TestIf youre applying for fall, be sure to complete these tests by December. SAT Subject Tests are no longer required. However, they are recommended for the College of Engineering and College of Chemistry: Math Level 2 and a science test (Biology E/M, Chemistry, or Physics) closely related to your intended major. Include the scores in your application. UC use s the highest scores from a single test administration. (Note: Our school code is 4833.) If you report your scores to one campus, they will be shared with every campus to which youve applied.Boston University: http://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/first-year/#TestsFor students attending secondary school in the USBU requires either the SAT or ACT. BU does not require the optional essay on the SAT test or the optional writing component for the ACT.For any student attending a secondary school outside of the US and who is enrolled in a full International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma programSubmission of an SAT or ACT test score is not required to complete your application. While the SAT or ACT is no longer an application requirement, standardized test scores may be submitted with your application if you feel they are reflective of your academic ability. Please note that if you are applying for the Boston University Trustee Scholarship, the SAT or ACT is still required.If you are applying to the College of Fine Arts or the Accelerated Medical Program, please see the different requirements for these programs.BU superscores both the SAT and ACT. To take advantage of superscoring, we recommend submitting all your test scores if you take more than one test or take a test multiple times. For both the SAT and ACT, BU will use the highest score of each section, regardless of test date, to best represent you as an applicant.Boston University (Early Decision): http://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/early-decision/Early Decision Application InstructionsEarly Decision is a binding program available only for high school seniors applying for admission. If you are applying for Early Decision, you must take the ACT no later than the October test date or the SAT no later than November. If you are applying for Early Decision 2, you must take the ACT or SAT no later than the December test date.College counselors are incredibly helpful during this time. For recommendations on a college counse lor, feel free to visit our website here. Doing the research beforehand definitely helps to ease the process and allow for us to help you better plan any test dates or retakes come senior year.If you’d like to learn more about how we can help with academics and test prep, please give us a call today!

Seven Ways Parents Can Support Their Childs School

Seven Ways Parents Can Support Their Child's School Studies show that parental involvement has a direct positive benefit on students' academic achievement. If you're looking for new ways to support your child's school outside of volunteering in the classroom or donating to the school fundraiser, here are seven ideas on how you can help make your child's school a better place: Join the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), or school advisory board. Your school's PTA (or similar organization) is one of the most important links between you and your child's school. It is designed to enhance school-parent communication and help parents be more involved in their children's education. PTA will help you get to know teachers and other parents and learn the most effective ways to suggest and implement changes at your school. Enrich the learning experience. Great schools do more than teach students what they need to know for standardized tests. Find ways to enhance your child's classroom. Talk with the teacher or principal about potential enrichment activities and ask how you can help. If your child's teacher is interested in offering students learning opportunities outside of the classroom, offer to help coordinate and/or facilitate. Share your knowledge. Perhaps you have an interesting job, hobby or life experience that you could share with a class or group of classes. If leadership is your strength, consider devoting some time to coaching a sports team or advising a fledgling but important student group. Improve communication. At any school, good communication with families is a key to success. You could help create a parent newsletter (or improve the newsletter your school has) or start a phone tree. Ask your child's teacher how you can help him or her stay connected to classroom parents. Be an advocate for your school. Sometimes, being a resource for your school can be as simple as writing your school board members or legislators about issues that are important to the school. Attend a school board meeting on behalf of your grade or class or in support of an initiative. If you see an area of improvement at your school, explore the proper channels to voice your ideas. Help increase financial and other resources. Aside from school fundraisers, there are other ways you can help your school secure needed funding or supplies. Help research or apply for federal or private grants to benefit specific school programs. If you have access to materials the school needs, why not make a donation? Help other parents. If you are bilingual, you could volunteer to help translate at parent-teacher meetings or translate signage and materials for the school. Volunteer to provide transportation for students or parents to attend functions they could not otherwise easily attend. If you have particular expertise, offer to host a parenting seminar and share your knowledge with other parents. With a little creativity, you can find many ways to help your child's school be an enriching academic environmentand a vibrant and welcoming community for all students and their families.

8 Steps to Help in Your Transition From a Part-Time Job to a Full-Time Job

8 Steps to Help in Your Transition From a Part-Time Job to a Full-Time Job Pixabay.com 1.  Know what you’re signing up for The first step in making this change is to know what changes to expect after taking the new job. The tasks you had at your part-time job might have been easier than the ones you’ll be completing at the full-time job you’re moving into now. Most part-time positions won’t have you work more than 20 hours every week while your new position could have you working anywhere from 30 to 45 hours every week. A bigger chunk of your free time will have to be sacrificed to the “workforce powers-that-be” but now you’ve got some great benefits coming your way, such as a retirement plan, paid time off, and health insurance, just to name a few examples. You’ll most likely be getting a sizeable raise in your paycheck as well. Knowing what to expect can help to alleviate some of the stress of moving into a new position. 2.  Prepare yourself for more responsibility You might feel a little overwhelmed when you first start your job and that’s okay. Getting the hang of any new job, part-time or full-time, can be difficult during the first few weeks or even months. You will get the hang of it eventually. More responsibility is going to fall on you now that you’re in a full-time position but don’t be afraid or nervous about it. Embrace your new position and find a plan of action that works for you. As long as you work hard and get the job done, that’s what matters. 3.  Learn better time management The jump from 20 hours a week to 40 is going to mean an adjustment in your personal schedule. If you’re in school, you can start comparing your work and class schedule to find out which days and times will work best for study and homework days. Don’t forget to schedule time to be with friends and family whenever possible. It’s easy to get consumed by work and forget to make time for the people who matter in our lives. Pixabay.com 4.  Don’t be afraid of standing out I’ve seen and heard stories of employees who start a job so passionate and full of energy. After a few weeks, that energy dies down and it seems like all of that drive and determination went out the window. Don’t be that employee. Work hard every day. Don’t be afraid to stand out. In fact, seek to stand out and to be above average. If you have an opinion on a work subject that you think should be acknowledged, let it be known in a professional manner. 5.  Focus on why you’re here It’s easy to get caught up in workplace drama at a job but you should try your best to avoid it. Remember why you’re there and what you’re working for. Don’t let yourself be pulled into petty gossip among co-workers. Gossip can start rumors and rumors have no place in a professional workplace. 6.  Find a balance between you time and work time Our jobs can be a very big part of our lives. This can be said to be even more true for a full-time job. As a full-time employee, it may feel as though you’re spending more time at the job than you do at home or with your family or friends. It’s important to find a balance between your work time and time you take for yourself so you don’t get too drained. If you do begin to feel drained or stressed, take a day to yourself. Spend time on your hobbies when you can, take a vacation when you can afford to, and make time to be with the people you love. 7. Reap the benefits Don’t let your benefits and perks go to waste! I’ve heard stories of coworkers not using the hours of leave they were afforded at the beginning of the year and by the beginning of the following year, the hours were all gone. They didn’t carry over. If you can afford some time off, don’t feel guilty in doing so! The same goes with other benefits. Look into the discounts offered on health insurance and if there’s a retirement plan, study it and decide if you think it’s what you want to do. You’ve earned these benefits by working hard to get hired. Enjoy being a full-time employee by using the benefits that your employees have provided for you! Pixabay.com 8.  Be open to learning new things Being a full-time employee doesn’t mean youre going to know everything as soon as you walk into your job. In fact, you should be open to learning as much as you can from those around you. Pay attention during staff meetings, ask some questions if you’re unsure of any aspect of your job, and stay humble. There’s nothing wrong with learning from those who have been at the job longer than you. There might be a few coworkers who have been with the company for a long time who will have no issue with giving you a few insider tips to help you succeed. Your transition from a part-time job to a full-time job can be an easy one if you keep these steps in mind. Dont forget to congratulate yourself on your promotion!

How Much Can You Make As a Tutor?

How Much Can You Make As a Tutor?In this article, I will be discussing the problem that many students have when trying to find out how much can you make as a tutor. The first thing to note is that with today's economic climate, you will not be able to work at any given time and there are often times that students simply need to pay for lessons.When people are first starting out, you should start by setting up a very sound income stream. Make sure that it is something that you will be able to maintain and always keep your options open.

What Is The Iron Defense Moves Tutor?

What Is The Iron Defense Moves Tutor?The Iron Defense moves tutor is a training tool for young gymnasts that includes various drills to improve balance, strength and coordination of the body. Since this is not a class where they can learn how to do gymnastics in a team setting, it should be used as a fun activity. For this reason, the coach is the person who is going to teach them, and not the gymnasts themselves.In order to choose the Iron Defense move tutor, first look at the different aspects. Is it a yoga type of program? Is it designed to teach specific moves, or is it more of a general exercise program? There are many different kinds of programs, and you need to determine which one best fits your child.The Iron Defense moves tutor may have to learn about the move that they will be practicing and learn the steps. When the time comes, you will have to send the gymnast off to class, with a little guide book with a list of exercises and a chart for measurements. The guide book will also include certain limitations and what to do if anything needs to be done outside of the time that you set for that particular class.Before the class begins, you will have to be sure that the gymnast has not already done what is covered in the book. You may only see that a drill is included or it may be mentioned that they will be practicing in front of the class. One of the things that can affect the success of a program is a lack of proper orientation.Gymnasts should be taught about the drill and what is covered in the book before any session begins. They should know what they are doing as well as the limitations of what they are expected to do and when they will be doing it. Make sure that they are taught to go through the proper motions and will do them correctly.This is why it is important that the Gymnasts are in a group workout, in order to build up the individual and group bonds that will form between the group members. When the team workouts are completed, the gymnasts will have a better idea of how to move and coordinate together. After all, it is not always about being the most skilled on the court or in other physical activities.The Trainer can be a good source of information regarding training exercises that are safe for a gymnast. Once they understand the drills that they will be doing, and how much time is available, they will be able to train in a safe manner and enjoy the fun and competitiveness of the game.
