Where to Find Quality CSULB Tutoring?
Where to Find Quality CSULB Tutoring?As CSULB is a large university, it needs many good tutors who are available in the campus and are willing to give assistance for the students who have difficulty with their schoolwork. The best way to find good tutors is to go online and search for the tutors and in particular the tutors at CSULB that you would like to hire.As tutoring services are not considered as such to be offered in the college, students should get the fee if they will take the services of a tutor. It is advisable that before taking the help of a tutor you have to read the tutoring contract, and see if there are any fees to be paid while hiring the tutor.For choosing a good tutor, it is suggested that you go through the CSULB's website where there are many tutors listed up, where you can see the qualifications of the tutors and also the number of years they have been teaching. If you are looking for a single tutor then do not think twice as most of the tutors are in the same field so if you need more then just ask the teachers and they will be glad to give you the best possible help. You can even ask them if they have any references for you to contact.Another great place to get quality tutoring from CSULB is online where you can see all the tutors who are available for the CSULB students. You can either go through the website or also the College's webpage to look for the tutors at your selected college and contact them.The CSULB is not the only one that offers such thing but also many other universities such as UCLA and California State University, Dominguez Hills, California, Sonoma State University and many others. Many schools offering such kind of services are free but many pay for the services of these tutors so that they can afford to give you the help that you may need.Teachers are required to keep on improving themselves for better quality teaching because the students may leave the school, and it is required that they learn the quality of educa tion that is needed. It is important that the teacher aspires to improve himself and his skills so that he can teach and provide the best for the students. This is the main reason why the schools have teachers, that the students can learn the very basics and also the need for reading and writing, they can provide the teachers the best teaching possible.If you find any of the teachers at CSULB that can help you as a student, then please approach them for help and for whatever they charge in their fee, you may consider it as an investment. It is better that the student can handle his school work himself so that he can manage the time management so that he can earn good grades and so that he can have the knowledge.

College Essay Applications Why YOU Need an Editor
College Essay Applications Why YOU Need an Editor ACT SAT Prep and College Admissions Blog What are you selling? When you are preparing to submit your college applications, keep in mind that what youâre selling is YOU. Figuratively speaking, of course. Think of the college app process in the same way as applying for a job. You want to make a great first impression, donât you? That means taking the time to carefully read about the application process for each school to which you apply. (No. They are not all the same.) Having the required test scores and GPA are the first hurdles. The next hurdle? Choosing a prompt and writing an essay. Or writing several essays. So, how and where do you begin? And how do you know if youâve written a fresh, unique essay? You need an editor. A good editor makes corrections on your draft. A great editor personally invests in you, understands the college application process and the nuances of it, works with you from concept to conclusion, and can guide you through the writing process, capitalizing on your strengths and transforming your challenges. Iâve been asked many times as an editor, Does the essay really matter? The answer is a resounding, Yes! Especially to schools where the admissions selection is highly competitive. You must take writing your essay(s) very seriously. That means preparing to write early. As soon as the College Board releases the prompts. Many schools require supplemental essays tailored specifically to them. Donât wait until the day submissions are due to start writing. You will not do your best work. If you are only applying to schools that accept the Common App, you will have a choice of seven prompts from which to choose one. What if none of the prompts resonates with you? Part of what I do as an editor is work with students to guide them in selecting and narrowing a topic and get their creative juices flowing. This process is different for each person. Some of your peers can read the prompts and quickly realize that something speaks to them. Donât get frustrated if this doesnât happen for you. You will get there. Sometimes the route from point A to point B is direct and sometimes there are detours with scenery that need to be taken in. The common thread is that no matter your writing skills, you can benefit from a professional editor. Even AP English students and valedictorians need guidance from a professional. Although I have worked with students at different stages in their writing processes, I encourage you to work with an editor before you have completed a first draft to ensure that you are on the right path. I know it can be disappointing to finish a draft only to learn that you didnât address the prompt. If you are considering working with an editor, start the conversation from the planning stage. I offer a 15-minute complimentary consultation, which is a great opportunity to share preliminary thoughts. I can also review a writing sample to assess your writing skills before I even start the clock! Shop around. There are lots of editors out there and, like many services these days, plenty of them can work remotely with you. Your English teachers should be your best first resource, but you may need to reach out beyond them. Their free time is valuable (I know because I used to be one) and they may not have the luxury of giving your essay the time and attention it needs. Some students hope their guidance or college counselor can provide feedback, but you are probably better served by an editor. You wouldnât go to a dentist to get an eye exam. Donât go to a counselor to edit your essay. Same goes with relatives and family pets! When applying to your dream school, remember that you are presenting the best version of yourself. Why not use the best resources?

Im really worried about how many bodies were going to find. Harvey, which went from hurricane to tropical storm to massive rainstorm, is expected to continue to bring rain to the deluged area all the way through Friday.

Should you take your pet abroad with you
Should you take your pet abroad with you By Thiago SilvaPreparing to move in your own town can be daunting enough - now imagine having to pack everything and move to another country! When choosing to teach overseas most people get excited about the opportunity to have the adventure of a lifetime, and might overlook some of the practical aspects of relocating.Aside from cancelling your cable and forwarding your mail, there are some important decisions to make when planning to move overseas. If you have a pet, for example, you should evaluate if the best option is to take Fido along or leave him with a relative or friend.Taking a pet overseas can be a costly and paper-work heavy endeavour as many countries will require vaccination certificates, and the airline may charge extra to transport the animal depending on their size. It is also stressful for most pets to travel long distances in a cage.The local culture at your destination should also be taken into account. In the Middle East, for example, it is not common for peopl e to own pets, so it is harder to do simple things such as finding pet food, or veterinary services.Other countries might have less strict requirements. Mona Lisa Wessel, who lived in Japan, mentioned in the Teach Away community page that she was able to transport her pet between Canada and Japan with relative ease.âJapan is very good about letting you bring in your pets if you can prove they have had their rabies shots within 60 days of arrival,â she said.You should also check if your chosen accommodation allows you to have pets, as many places will not allow pets, especially in situations where you are sharing accommodations with other teachers.Ultimately, it is a very personal decision whether bringing a pet overseas is the best option, but if you canât live without your four-legged friend, you will have to do some research about the laws in your destination country and evaluate if the extra expense and time to care for the pet will not hinder your plans to save money and t ravel. You can read about other teachersâ experiences in taking pets abroad on Teach Awayâs Facebook page and community forums.Thiago Silva is the Teach Away blogger.
Learning a foreign language. Is THAT difficult
Learning a foreign language. Is THAT difficult Some people tend to believe that they have little aptitude for languages. But this may not be so true we all have quite similar abilities. The truth is learning languages is all about attitude and will! Lets start analyzing what is language? Any language is just tool to express, a way of encoding our thoughts. Different languages â" are different ways to encode thoughts. Our brains are used to replace meanings of things and actions, while we grow, and storage them. While the brains primary function is to store information, its also must forget things. In fact, according to some neuro scientists, the brains main function is the ability to forget, not to remember. When starting to learn a new language â" many of the newly memorized names are starting to erase, making our learning more difficult. Our native language has a priority in our brain, which is why we can start to forget what we have learnt. How can we help our brains to remember what we to remember when studying a foreign language? First of all, it helps to understand that specific, school-type tasks are not so effective: read and retell the text, memorize dialogs, write a review So useless for absorbing a language. Rule number one: do only effective and pleasant tasks, learning should be enjoyable and should not cause much difficulty. Any forced action provokes only negative feelings, which are not good for the learning. For example â" listen to your favorite song; search for a translation of its words and you will understand its meaning. And singing it frequently makes you practice this new language â" making your vocabulary grow. My personal experience for successful learning â" is finding a hobby and start learning terms and phrases that have to do with it. I adore cooking, so I search for the videos with subtitles and I associate words I read with food and processes I see. Each person perceives the world in his/her own way. Therefore, to understand better any foreign language, you must understand the mindset of the people, for whom this language is native. Just knowing a huge heap of foreign words will not help you speak. Rule number 2: learning must go deeper, reaching and getting interest in the history, customs and traditions of the people â" for whom this language is native. It is a good idea to go to a country where the studied language is spoken, to dive into the actual environment. However, in practice, it does not give any guarantee that you will quickly and naturally speak in a foreign language. Why? The first reason â" lack of proper communication with native speakers. If you are traveling as a tourist, you will be speaking mostly with your guide or companions. If you come as part of a student group, then, as a rule, most of the time you will be talking each one with other. Because its easier. Man is so constituted that he always tries to follow the line of least resistance. Rule number 3: Try to go on your own. Dare the risk! If that feels too intimidating, keep your cell phone with the number of a translator handy. The second reason the difficulty to establish close contacts with foreign friends. You are a stranger for them â" deal with it! Just not give up, act confident and respectful, do not get shy when you are talking with some mistakes. And always keep the distance. The third reason. Native speakers do not know their language. Sounds funny, but its true. Pay attention to themselves. They cannot correctly answer the meaning, and explain some words. Once in Ecuador, I saw a huge strike â" some taxis blocked the main streets. Ecuadorians called that âPároâ â" I tried to make my friends explain me what does âParoâ means⦠they could not. Thus, the success of learning a foreign language abroad depends on your personal qualities. How quickly and easily you can start contacts and well-established relationship with other people? I can say that the main factor is motivation. Realize your personal need for foreign language skills, apply regular efforts, be patient, and you will always succeed. It is desirable in learning a foreign language, to minimize the use of their mother tongue. This will accelerate the overcome of language barrier. And most importantly, the learning process should be fun. Do not be upset if something does not work right away. Focus on your objective, on your language success.
