LSAT Tip of the Week Logical Reasoning Strategies

LSAT Tip of the Week Logical Reasoning Strategies LSAT Law School Blog The logical reasoning section can be one that you feel like you could only truly perfect if you had all of the time in the world. So, this week we will focus on time saving tips and tricks that will ensure that you get the best score possible. The first step is simple, just carefully read through the question. Before taking a look at the answer choices, try to come up with a possible answer in your head and maybe even quickly write it down. You can read a variety of scenarios on how to “pre-phrase” your answer on Powerscore. Once you have your pre-phrased answer, read through each answer choice. Since you pre-phrased your answer you know what you are looking for in the answer choices, so either in your head or on your exam say if the answer choice could be viable or not. Once you have eliminated any that are completely wrong, go back and carefully read the 2-3 options that may be correct and find the one that is the most accurate. Practice this technique and by the time your LSAT rolls around, you will be breezing through the logical reasoning section and can spend the extra time focusing on the harder questions.

7 questions to ask yourself before teaching abroad

7 questions to ask yourself before teaching abroad I have only one regret about my time teaching abroad - I wish I’d started earlier! I spent four years teaching in Canada before accepting my first job teaching abroad in Japan. While I did learn a lot in those four years, in hindsight, I feel a couple of years of teaching experience would have given me a strong enough foundation to start teaching internationally. However, teaching abroad is a big decision and not to be taken lightly. How do you know if it’s really for you? There are some serious questions you need to ask yourself before before embarking on what could be the greatest adventure in your life. Is your current job challenging you? Often we will settle into a routine and a job that becomes comfortable. Comfort is great, but it is also important to challenge yourself and grow as an educator. Teaching abroad is a great way to ensure that you will be consistently pushed. You will also be exposed to new theories, classroom management styles and student-teacher relations. Are you qualified for the positions you would like to apply for? This requires a little research. Check out the Teach Away job board. Take a look at some of the positions available. Each posting will state the requirements for the position. Based on the region and position type, you will see some common trends emerging. Do you meet the qualification and experience requirements for your desired positions? Do you have the finances to consider a major move? Of course, you will be paid, often very well, during your time teaching abroad. However, it is still important that you have some funds available for start-up costs. Your contract may not cover flights up front. You might need to use some of your savings for a deposit for accommodation. Each contract is different. It is also important to bear in mind that you are not paid on arrival. You will be paid at the end of your first or second month - depending on your start date. Salary calculator Do you have the time to apply and secure a visa? Once you have decided to look at teaching jobs abroad, the process can be quite lengthy. It’s worth doing some research into typical application and visa processing times. Your Placement Coordinator at Teach Away will be there to help you with this. There could be some documents that you can have on hand to speed up the process. It (almost) goes without saying that the earlier you start the application process, the better. However, we do often have short notice opportunities as the school year approaches - remember to ask your Coordinator! What are your responsibilities right now? Who is depending on you right now? How would they be affected by this move? Your family are a major consideration, but also think of the advantages for them. Having a year or more living abroad can be a transformative experience for them too. Will you be more, or less likely to do this in the future? We tend to accumulate responsibilities as we grow older. This can make a life-changing move more challenging. ‘Next year’ may sound more feasible and may give you more time to plan, but there is always the chance that ‘next year’ never rolls around. So if you feel ready to teach abroad now, get going! Fantastic opportunities and experiences await you.

What qualifications do I need to teach English abroad

What qualifications do I need to teach English abroad Wondering how to get a job teaching English abroad? This one’s easy. To teach English abroad, you’ll need a bachelor’s degree in any subject/major, and an ESL teaching qualification (such as a TEFL certification) at the minimum! For more on getting TEFL certified to teach English abroad, check out the following: TEFL FAQ What is TEFL? TEFL vs. TESL vs. TESOL Is a TEFL certificate worth the cost? English teaching job requirements for graduates of all majors If you have your bachelor’s degree but no formal teaching qualification or previous teaching experience, you’ll be best suited for ESL jobs abroad (more commonly known as TEFL jobs for those of you who hail from the UK). With your bachelor’s degree and TEFL certification, you could be teaching English in China, South Korea or Japan in no time! For the latest ESL teaching vacancies in China, check out Teach Away’s Explore Program These English teaching jobs abroad are usually found in language schools attended by adults, and also children after school hours. A TEFL certification (at least 100 hours in length) is the minimum ESL qualification normally required for a teaching job with ESL/language schools around the world. While it’s true that there are select teaching opportunities out there with overseas schools that claim you don’t require any qualifications at all - just strong native English speaking, reading and writing skills - approach these roles with caution. More often than not, these salaries tend to be much lower and working conditions may not be up to industry standards. As a general rule, reputable, well-paying ESL schools abroad are usually more selective when it comes to requirements for their teaching positions. Why’s that? Well, for starters, there are a few other issues with teaching without your bachelor’s degree and TEFL course that will affect both you and the students you’ll have responsibility for. If you don’t want to venture overseas, there are also lots of opportunities to teach English online with your bachelor’s degree and TEFL. Discover the perks of teaching English online here and check out our latest online English teaching jobs! If you’re serious about being a capable English teacher, your main goal should be for your students to be successful. In order for them to achieve their best in their English classes, you’ll need some basic skills and knowledge around effective teaching techniques for English language learners (ELLs). You’ll also need to have an understanding of their challenges and strengths in their English classes, depending on their cultural backgrounds, age and education levels. That’s why Teach Away partnered with OISE University of Toronto to create a TEFL course that covers the essential knowledge employers overseas look for when hiring ESL teachers from overseas. English teaching job requirements for licensed teachers If you have a formal teaching qualification (for example, you majored or have a master’s degree in education) you’re a great fit for English teaching jobs in international elementary and high schools around the world. This holds true regardless of whether you’re a new graduate or experienced teacher in your home country. Many lucrative teaching English abroad programs in the Middle East are currently seeking licensed English teachers for positions with the Abu Dhabi Education Council, UAE Government Schools and Abu Dhabi Technical Schools. Interview dates are coming up shortly, so be sure to get your application in, stat. Wondering which countries pay English teachers the most? Check out our list of countries where ESL salaries are highest! Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. Don’t forget, you still have to be a qualified English teacher in your home country to be considered for these roles. A TEFL certification is also considered a huge indicator of your ability to manage the challenges of the international classroom as a first-time teacher abroad and can really help your application stand out from other candidates. For more details, check out our blog on why it’s still worth getting TEFL certified if you’re a qualified teacher. Don’t worry, though. While many certified teachers do choose to teach English abroad at language schools or international schools around the world, a teaching license is typically not required for most ESL jobs abroad. Visa requirements to teach English abroad A quick aside regarding teaching English abroad without a degree - to obtain the correct work visa to teach in most countries abroad, a bachelor’s degree is generally required. This is often the legal immigration requirement to be allowed to find work in many countries and there’s very little that you can do to get around that fact. Many countries will also only grant visas to ESL teachers from countries that they consider to be native English speaking locations (that’s the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand). Plenty of countries like Thailand, Cambodia, Mexico and Brazil, for example, strongly encourage applications from non-native English speakers looking to teach English abroad.

4 Reasons Why You Should Be a Nanny This Summer

4 Reasons Why You Should Be a Nanny This Summer Image via: www.pexels.com You’ll make a difference It is certainly possible that the children you will be caring for will be spending more time with you than with their own parents, which is a little sad when you think about it. As a nanny, you will be able to be a figure of care and support to children who may need it. You will have a part in watching these individuals develop and have a part in molding their impressionable minds for the future. You will be able to pass along your wisdom and life experience to them. You will also be making a difference by helping their parents out. As you can probably imagine, it is stressful enough to work while maintaining a household, without even adding a child or two into the mix. As tragic as it is, parents cannot always be there for their children as much as they would like to be. As a nanny, you will provide comfort to the child’s parents because with your presence, they will know that their child is in good, capable, and loving hands. With this comfort in mind, the child’s parents can rest easy and do what they need to do. You will truly be making a difference in all of their lives, including your own. You’ll learn so much If you love working with children and you want to make working with children your career (teaching, pediatrics, camp counseling, licensed clinical social work, etc.), being a nanny would be a perfect time for you to develop experience working with kids which would be an incredible feature to add to your resume. You will learn how to interact with kids, how to stimulate their minds, and how to figure out what they want and need. This valuable knowledge will take you far into a career working with children. Even if you do not necessarily enjoy interacting with children, you might find yourself singing a different tune after you work with kids over the course of a summer. Working with kids will teach you a variety of lessons that you can apply to your life, no matter what career you decide to pursue. You will learn assertiveness, patience, flexibility, and mental sustainability after a long shift. By the end of your experience as a nanny, you will be asking yourself if you taught the children, or if they taught you. Image via: www.pexels.com You’ll have fun If you are lucky enough to be working a part-time job that you actually enjoy, then good for you. This is for the rest of us: working with kids is fun! Even if you are anything like me, someone who doesn’t particularly care for children, you will find something to enjoy about working with kids. Essentially, you are reliving your own childhood! You will be able to return to the halcyon days of finger painting, Saturday morning cartoons, and LEGOs. As long as you are willing to let go of any reservations against acting silly and using your imagination, you will be able to enjoy yourself wholeheartedly. You’ll have another family The best part out of all of this is the fact that you will emerge from this experience with a second family. You will be looked upon fondly by the generation following yours and it will feel so fulfilling. As a college student, it is likely that you do not have a lot of time to spend with your own family, which can be hard. While nothing can replace your family, just as nothing will replace the family of your child(ren), it still feels nice to have that warm, fuzzy dynamic again. If you live far from home, you will have a place to call home for the holidays and a support system all in a day’s work.

Basic Concepts in Rate of Reaction Chemistry

Basic Concepts in Rate of Reaction ChemistryStudents at universities and colleges should have a fundamental understanding of the rate of reaction and the use of androgen in chemistry. Chemistry is based on the theory of natural elements that react with oxygen and different elements or compounds of these elements. Every element has an atom that can combine with the oxygen to form water, and with the other atoms of the elements, they form compounds that can change the properties of the element to be useful.The rate of reaction is the basic mechanism of chemical reactions. If the rate of reaction is faster, more energy is produced, and less energy is required to create it. Therefore, in chemistry, one needs to understand the rate of reaction to predict how an element will react with the presence of oxygen. There are two theories in chemistry which allow students to determine the rate of reaction, the Brunic and the Simpson-Thorndike.Students usually refer to their teacher or instructor to find out the method of classification by which each theory is classified. This can be very confusing if the student does not know which theory is right. It is important to note that in order to test if an element is capable of reacting with the presence of oxygen, or not, there needs to be a rate of reaction for the element to break down and to change its properties.The rate of reaction is important because it will tell us what the atom of the element will be at the time of the reaction. The rate of reaction is the amount of time a chemical reaction takes to occur. The rate of reaction also allows us to determine if the reaction is being accelerated or slowed down. Atoms in a certain state will always react with an element, so if an atom of an element cannot break down with the presence of oxygen, it will stay in that state indefinitely.A chemical reaction occurs when an atom of the element or compound of the element is in contact with an atom of the other element or compound. In order for the reaction to happen, there needs to be a chemical bond between the two atoms.When the element is in a liquid solution, the rate of reaction is very high and the reaction takes place quickly. When the atom of the element is held in a solid state, the rate of reaction is quite slow. The bonding between the two atoms takes place more slowly and therefore, the reaction will take a longer time to occur. In chemical reactions, the speed of a reaction is important because in order for an element to release heat energy from its molecules, it must do so in a short period of time.Rate of reaction in chemistry teaches students how elements react with oxygen and the properties that can be created. Students can then find out more about the properties of an element or the reaction that occurs when the element is placed in the liquid medium.
