But there are some cheaper options for tutoring out there.Enter the Khan Academy, a tutoring website that charges you nothing.

While the material is certainly helpful â€" and 'free' doesn't hurt, either, you might have to dig around to for the specific level of maths and/or science you are currently studying. If you are interested in a more local solution, you can direct your search to your  city council.For example, typing “(your city's name) Council homework help” can yield instructions on when and how you can receive help with your homework.Take Nottingham, for example. That city's libraries offer free assistance in maths, English a nd science. They provide a free Internet connexion and, if you find something online relevant to your studies, you can print it at no cost.Their services are available any time the library is open, and they also have specific times and dates for clinics  at every library, throughout the city.

Inviting them to video chat with you will help develop your - and their! - spoken language skills.Helping others is like helping yourself - Henry FlaglerYou too can achieve academic success with the right tutelage.

You can find qualified tutors in your geographical area through a variety of means.Using the same information described for your  online profile, you can print fliers and post them around your community.Libraries and community centers often have bulletin boards for exactly this purpose. Make sure your bill is visible and prominently placed.Supermarkets and local shops also dedicate space for community announcements. Posting a flier here could bring your ad higher visibility.Newspapers have ad space for just such announcements. You may even get to place an ad for free! More likely, though, you will be charged a fee for placing your request.Ask around at school: it is possible that one of your mates or an administrator could steer you to a qualified mentor or two.Word of mouth is an e xcellent form of advertising, and it's free! Let people know you are in the market for school help. Perhaps even your neighbor could lead you to academic salvation.It's never easy to ask for help but there is certainly no shame in it.Not when there are platoons of professors waiting for you to declare your need.

Vector Displacement Online Physics Tutors Tutorpace

Vector Displacement Online Physics Tutors Tutorpace A vector is a physical quantity which has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude of a physical quantity is simply the measure or the number calculated for the quantity. Direction of a vector implies the direction of the resultant vector, usually taken from the initial starting point to the final point. Displacement is one such example of a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction. We can find the resultant displacement vector by joining the starting point to its ending point. Example 1: Lucy walked 7m towards east and then walked 10m towards west. Determine Lucys resulting displacement? Given: Displacement of Lucy in east (or right) direction = 7m Displacement of Lucy in west (or left) direction) = 10m Let right direction be represented as +7m and left direction be represented as -10m. Hence, resulting displacement = 7m 10m = -3m This implies that the resulting displacement of Lucy is 3m towards west! Example 2: Brian travelled 20m up north and then travelled 15m down south. Determine Brians resulting displacement? Given: Displacement of Brian in north (or upward) direction = 20m Displacement of Brian in south (or downward) direction = 15m Let upward direction be represented as +20m and downward direction be represented as -15m. Hence, resulting displacement = 20m 15m = 5m This implies that the resulting displacement of Brian is 5m up north!

10 Language Learning Magazines That All Learners Should Flip Through

10 Language Learning Magazines That All Learners Should Flip Through 10 Language Learning Magazines That All Learners Should Flip Through Did you know that the word magazine originally meant something like storehouse or warehouse?And really, it seems appropriate, since magazines are basically warehouses of information!Theres a good chance you read magazines in your native language, whether in print or online, but you may not have tried reading them in a language youre learning. If thats your case, then youre missing out.As a language learner, getting plenty of reading practice is essential. It’s also a bit of a dilemma for beginning and intermediate learners.Most learners have textbooks or other materials from class, and even though textbooks can provide some reading material, their reading sections are usually short and arent always as engaging as youd like.If you want to get enough reading practice, youll have to supplement your textbooks. There just isnt enough in most books to really kick your reading into gear.For beginners, though, it’s hard to just pick up a native-level book and start reading. So where can you find fresh, engaging reading material that’s not too hard? Ideally, the material would  also give you a way to get new content on a regular basis, without having to search around for it.The solution: Magazines for language learners.These magazines can be either online or printed, but they all have interesting but easy articles for beginning and intermediate learners. Theyre published periodically, so you dont have to search for new resources to continually find fresh reading material. Plus, theyre written for people just like you.Magazines for language learners arent the same as just any old magazine in your target language. Those can also be awesome resources, but theyre usually best for learners who have at least reached an intermediate level. For beginners, native-level content of any kind can be overwhelming. Thats what these magazines are for. Whats Unique About Magazines for Language LearnersTheyre accessible for beginners and low-intermediate level learners.They focus on cultural information that would be obvious to a native speaker, and therefore would not be included in a native-level magazine. For example, there might be articles about how specific holidays are celebrated in places that speak your target language.  When you learn a language its also important to pick up on things like the most important holidays or what the school or healthcare system is like.Many magazines for language learners include audio recordings that can be incredibly useful for practicing listening as well as reading.Being magazines, these resources are updated frequently. Some are updated daily or weekly, others every two months, but the commonality is that there will be new material at a regular interval. That means you dont have to worry about finding new resources, which makes them a huge time saver.10 Language Learning Magazines That All Learners Should Flip ThroughMagazines from Think Language (French, Spanish and Italian)The online magazines from Think Languag e  are published once a month. They focus on the target culture, and all include an audio component.For example, a recent issue of  Think Spanish  included articles about music traditions in Spain, the Patagonian train and the history and tradition of tobacco products in Latin America.The magazines are called audio magazines, mostly because they all have both text and audio, so you can listen along with the text. Theres also a grammar-focused feature at the end of the magazine.The  Think Language  magazines are only available online and not, for example, as an app through the iPads newsstand. They cost $99 for a 12-month subscription.Bien-direBien-dire  (Say It Right) is one of the oldest magazines on this list because although theres an online component, Bien-dire is a traditional print magazine produced by one of Frances large publishing houses.Theres a magazine for beginning/intermediate learners and another one for more advanced learners. The magazine is accompanied by an audio CDâ€"yes, just because its a printed magazine doesnt mean theres no audio! However, the audio CDs do cost extra. The online component is meant to be a complement to the printed magazine, and theres no way to get the full magazine experience without the hard copy.Bien-dire is updated every two months. It certainly is the best option if you want the experience of having a new magazine arrive in your mailbox!It costs 47 euros for a year-long subscription for just the magazine, and 99 euros with  the audio CDs.VeinteMundosVeinteMundos  (Twenty Worlds) is an online magazine produced by the language learning company Lingua Editions.Theres some confusion about what it means to be an online magazine. In the case of  Think Language,  their  magazines are published very much like a traditional magazine, but theyre accessible through an online reader. VeinteMundos  is more like what most people think of by online magazineâ€"it has  constantly-updated articles that you read on a web page.The ar ticles have a multimedia component, and are focused on culture as opposed to grammar. Recent articles include one about how climate change is affecting Latin America, and a travel piece about a trip through the Amazon. Every article has audio, grammar spotlights, reading comprehension exercises and pull-out vocabulary including not just words but also popular expressions.Finally, if youre reading this article for English practice (or if you know someone whos learning English), Lingua Editions also makes a similar online magazine for English learners,  TeaTime-Mag.  And the best part is that theyre  free!Deutsch perfektDeutsch perfekt  (Perfect German), a magazine for German learners, is produced by a publishing company in Germany that also produces language magazines for Germans to learn French and Spanish.The product is similar to  Bien-Dire.  Its a printed magazine thats mailed to your home. You can opt, in addition to the magazine, to get an exercise book as well. If getting a pr inted magazine isnt your thing, theres also an option to receive the magazine as a downloaded PDF file every month. Every article comes with audio, and the focus is on Germany, Switzerland and Austriaâ€"not just Germany.A 12-month subscription costs 85.20 euros.Hiragana TimesHiragana Times is produced in Japan for Japanese learners. The company that publishes it doesnt produce any other magazines, although it does run a business  that helps students of Japanese find language schools in Japan.You can get either a digital or print subscription to Hiragana Times, and its probably not surprising that the digital version is much less expensive, especially if you want audio (which is extra for print magazine subscribers) and you dont live in Japan (the fees are higher for subscribers outside of Japan).Recent articles include a feature about the changing Japanese ideals for female beauty, and another about pilgrimages by anime fans to the sacred spots of anime.There are different subscript ion options and costs, but for someone outside of Japan, a 12-month digital subscription costs 6,000 yen whereas a 12-month print-only (no audio) subscription costs 10,000 yen.An easy way to try out  Hiragana Times is through White Rabbit Japan, an online store thats a great place for learners to find Japanese reading material in general. Currently, you can buy a single issue for $7.75.Tutto ItalianoAnother print magazine for language learners,  Tutto Italiano  (Everything Italian) is for those learning Italian. Its published six times per year, and is available either with or without an audio CD. Theres no online component to Tutto Italianoâ€"its all in the print magazine!Like the other magazines on this list, Tutto Italiano is focused on culture. The articles are graded according to difficulty, and have glossaries for vocabulary and expressions.A year-long subscription costs 99 pounds, but a two-year subscription only costs 70 pounds more.Uchites / Russian LifeRussian Life is an E nglish-language magazine about Russian culture, written for non-Russians, of course.While the primary magazine is in English and doesnt have a language learning component,  Uchites  (Study)  is a language-learning supplement that goes with the magazine. Uchites  doesnt actually come with the (print) magazine, but instead is posted online at the same time the magazine is mailed to subscribers.There are occasional audio features, but for the most part both the magazine and the language learning supplement are largely text.A subscription to  Russian Life costs $39, but the  Uchites supplement is free.Language MagazineLastly,  Language Magazine  is a magazine, in English, about language learning in general, along with other interesting topics with an international focus.With just a click, most of the articles can be displayed in up to 8 different languages. There are many articles by language teachers, and you can sort the articles by target language. There are also articles about langu age schools and some cultural articles as well.This is a good place to read about language learning, without stressing about having to  do much learning yourself. Plus, its free!Dont see the language youre learning on this list? That doesnt mean there isnt a magazine for learners of that language, but you might have to do a little searching.Magazines for language learners are not whole language courses, but they can be great supplemental material that will increase your interest and excitement about the language and give you a lot more to read.Reading language learning magazines is a fabulous way to learn cultural basics, too, and its the kind of thing that you would never learn through material thats written for native speakers. And One More ThingIf youre digging the idea of learning with these magazines, youll love using FluentU, too. FluentU makes it possible to learn languages  from music videos, commercials, news and inspiring talks.With FluentU, you learn real languagesâ€"the same way that real people speak them.

Teach Away Telegram - September 2011

Teach Away Telegram - September 2011 In the September issue of the Teach Away Telegram, we celebrate the upcoming World Teachers' Day! We also examine the professional development options available to teachers overseas, and consider whether or not it's wise to bring a pet with you when teaching abroad.We hope you're having a great month, and we hope to hear from you soon!Happy reading! - The Teach Away TeamIn this issue:World Teachers' DayTeaching Overseas and Professional DevelopmentTaking Your Pets OverseasWorld Teachers' DayOctober 5, 2011 marks the 18th year of World Teachers’ Day. This day, organized by Education International (EI) and recognized by UNESCO, aims to support both teachers and students to ensure future generations benefit from the best education possible. Every year, EI promotes public awareness campaigns that stress valuable contributions made by teachers, while also encouraging international standards for the teaching profession. This year, their focus is on gender equality for teachers.Inequality is an issue that needs to be acknowledged by both female and male teachers. Some teachers in Western countries may not be fully aware of equality in the workplace in non-Western countries. Countries, like the UAE, have gender-segregated schools, where teachers are also segregated into the appropriate school. As well, some countries in Asia hold male teachers in higher regard than female educators. Of course, much of this is culturally fuelled, and imposing change has to be done delicately and respectfully.Teach Away prepares and informs its teachers as much as possible about such cultural differences prior to teachers' departure to work overseas. Whether it is how gender roles are viewed within the workplace in a particular country, or how students are segregated, Teach Away recognizes that not all of its departing teachers are familiar with these differences. For more information on such differences in a particular country, it’s best to conduct some research using resources such as Teach Away’s staff, or the Teach Away Facebook page.The World Teachers' Day website is another valuable resource. Although connected with numerous international teacher organizations, the day is yet to be officially recognized and celebrated around the world. Currently, over 100 countries observe World Teachers’ Day, and we would like to wish you a happy World Teachers' Day, no matter where you teach.Teaching Overseas and Professional DevelopmentProfessional development is an important part of a career in education. Having the opportunity to learn about the latest educational research findings, reflect on one’s practice, and broaden one’s repertoire of teaching techniques is imperative for successful educators.When taking on an international teaching position, teachers still have plenty of options for keeping up their PD:1. Resources and Events Offered by the EmployerWhether you are teaching in a public school setting, a private international school, or in a private lang uage school, many employers are offering professional development options to their staff in order to encourage effective teaching practice. Some schools offer PD days, similar to PD programs delivered by many school boards and districts in Western countries. Other schools will offer the opportunity to enrol in ongoing teacher training sessions or periodic seminars, offered outside of classroom hours.2. Online ResourcesFor licensed/certified teachers, there are options for taking more teacher training courses online in order to obtain more qualifications or upgrade existing certifications. Other great online resources include signing up for educational newsletters, joining online communities geared towards sharing resources and ideas, and subscribing to professional development mailing lists.3. Reflective PracticeReflecting on one’s teaching is a crucial part of improving and growing as an educator. Not only is it important to make time for reflection, but teachers working in a new location, unfamiliar school setting, or in a new role should document their time abroad for future reflection. Teaching abroad gives teachers first-hand experience with other cultures and traditions, allowing teachers professional and personal growth that will enrich their teaching abilities.  Taking Your Pets OverseasA common question for teachers going overseas is whether or not they are able to bring pets with them. Since pets are often considered a part of the family, many teachers are eager to bring Barkley or Mr. Whiskers along with them to the country where they will be living and teaching for the next 1-2 years. But is it wise to bring your animal companions with you?Teach Away encourages teachers going overseas to carefully consider a few factors when thinking about bringing a pet overseas. The first factor is cost â€" transporting a pet overseas and meeting all of the customs regulations (which can include updating shots, multiple vet visits, and quarantining your pet) ca n be quite expensive, depending on each country’s specific requirements for bringing a pet with you.The second factor is time, and your pet’s health â€" since many countries require that your pet be quarantined, and since long-distance travel can be anxiety-inducing for animals, putting a pet through the process of traveling and subsequently being separated from you can be very difficult.Finally, an important factor to consider is the availability of pet services where you will be living. While vets and pet supply stores might be common in North America, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, finding dog food or cat litter can be a challenge all its own for teachers in China or Malaysia. Finding the proper supplies and care for your pet might be very difficult, and if you are transporting a dog to an extremely hot climate (i.e. the Middle East), you will want to be sure you have the resources necessary to keep your pet healthy.Teach Away strongly advises that teachers find a trusted friend or family member to watch over their pets while they are teaching overseas, for the health of the animal, and for the well-being of everyone involved.
