How To Find An Organic Chemistry Tutor

How To Find An Organic Chemistry TutorAn organic chemistry tutor is a person who provides a reliable and consistent understanding of organic chemistry and how it can affect the user. The primary goal of a tutor is to assist students in their learning of this field of study so that they are able to gain valuable knowledge and become competent in the art of organic chemistry. It is important to remember that there are many different ways in which one can find such a tutor and this article will discuss several options.Student counselors are very useful in helping students with academic matters, family concerns, and other issues in their academic life. Academic advisors are often employed by universities and colleges. Students should therefore inquire about all of the possible forms of academic advising available to them. They will be able to get the guidance they need from these advisers and should make use of their time wisely to make the most of the precious time that they have.Online tutors are also very useful in assisting students in their learning of the subject. Online courses are always a convenient way for students to receive a proper education. Many online tutorials consist of lessons and lectures that are organized in a particular manner. Some students even enjoy video games that are specifically designed to help them learn various subjects. Students that are keen on learning about science and technology should consider enrolling in an online course that would include subjects like genetics, biology, and molecular biology, among others.Some people may feel that hiring a tutor is too expensive and may not be worth the expense. While an individual instructor can be quite costly, tutoring services are not only affordable but convenient as well. These services also provide support to their students to ensure that they do not suffer due to the lack of expertise of the tutor.Since most scientific fields of study are challenging and often involve many complica ted procedures, students require much more help and expertise than what a traditional college and university provide. Teachers can assist students in their learning, but should the student seek the assistance of a tutor to enable him or her to pass the classes, it is important to find a tutor that has the necessary skills. This is where an academic adviser can help.An academic adviser provides insight to the various complexities of organic chemistry and assists students in understanding the various problems that they might face. Students can also go through the course content by themselves if they feel that the material is not suitable for them. When hiring an academic adviser, they should find out which aspects they are best suited for and which of them can best serve the needs of their students. Also, they should be aware of the recommended methods and tests to make sure that their students are well prepared before their test day.Most experts agree that taking the advice of an adv iser is very important and may be what students need in order to be successful at science and technology. If the students cannot afford or do not feel that they need an academic adviser, they can still take advantage of online tutorials and educational resources that will aid them in their studies. A good student advisor can help students through the problems and hurdles they might encounter when learning a new subject, and should help them to focus on studying and not being distracted by everyday life.

5 Reasons We Fear Career Change (and What to Do About It) - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 5 Reasons We Fear Career Change (and What to Do About It) - Introvert Whisperer 5 Reasons We Fear Career Change (and What to Do About It) You’re a leader, right? Doesn’t that mean you’re fearless? Maybe on some things, but the prospect of changing careers has stopped you cold. You probably don’t admit this to very many people. Is this you? It would seem we’re more comfortable seeking divorce from our spouse than divorce from our job. (Like this thought? Tweet it!)  The divorce rate is certainly much higher than the voluntary turnover rate (when you leave by your own choice). If this is the year you’re finally going to make this important, life-changing decision (career change, not divorce), here are some reasons you may be feeling that fear  and what you can do about it. You don’t have to wait any longer. 1. Fear of the Unknown You know you need a change, but at this point, you have no clue what you’re going to do. As a result, you’re left inside your own head conjuring up a thousand possible things that could go wrong. Fix: Remember that you control your thinking. When these thoughts enter your head, simply tell yourself you don’t yet know enough to have anything to fear. Brush off this unknown boogieman. 2. Fear You Won’t Like Where You’re Headed You might not like where you’ve been, and even if you do, we grow very fond of our job situation simply because we at least know what we’re dealing with. Fix: Vow that your new career exploration will include plenty of investigation so you know exactly what to expect. Far too many people don’t do the work they need to in order to fully understand the career they’re headed to. This is an easy fix, as long as you do the work. 3. Fear of Lost Income You’d be starting over again, right? You couldn’t possibly take a pay cut; you have too many things dependent on your income. Besides, you’d feel personally deflated by a loss of income. Fix: Figure out the very least you could live on for a few years and make that your cutoff point. Not all career changes mean you have to take a pay cut. Don’t make assumptions until you’ve done your homework and research. 4. Fear of Retooling Yourself You’re making the assumption that to make a change, you need to go back to school. You might feel like it’s too late, or maybe you don’t want to invest your time at this point. Fix: Remember that when you’re on the journey to decide your new career, you can pick a whole list of criteria for what would constitute a good next step. Just like income, if you know you’re not equipped for school anymore, make that part of your criteria for selection. Most jobs don’t require a specific degree. Certification programs exist that are usually short in duration, if that makes sense for the direction you’re taking. 5. Fear of Not Knowing What to Do Next You don’t really even know the first step you’d take to figure out what to do next. Do you go apply for jobs that sound good? Fix: First, step away from the resume. Changing careers by doing a job search usually results in massive disappointment. You might “find” something, but usually you don’t find something you love. Deciding on a career is a journey of investigation, research and exploration. You won’t figure out a new career by sitting on the couch or in your office. You also need to possess a good measure of patience as this won’t be an overnight discovery. Make a career change this year and start the exploration now. You deserve to have a career you love.

Majoring in Music How to Nail Your Guitar Audition

Majoring in Music How to Nail Your Guitar Audition Megan L. Is a music major in your academic future? Guitar teacher  Brett M.  shares 10 things you need to know to have a great guitar audition at the music college of your choice If you’re a guitarist who’s planning to continue your music education at the college level, then this may  be one of the most important articles you could ever read. In fact, it’s something that I wish I could have  read, before auditioning and (luckily) getting accepted into Berklee College of Music over a dozen years  ago. Let’s meet someone His name is Dwayne, and like you (and me, back in the day) he is interested in majoring in music. Dwayne loves to play guitar, and he’s passionate about learning more. He’s a sophomore in  high school, and has played in a couple of bands off and on. Dwayne’s not a huge jazz guy, but he’s  thinking about trying out for the school jazz band, just to get the playing experience but he’s not too  sure he’d know what to play. Dwayne’s got above-average technique on the guitar and he knows he  wants to get faster, but that’s about as specific as he could say. He’s also got a feeling that there’s a lot  more to learn about scales, chords, etc. In fact, his overall knowledge of how everything fits together is  a bit sketchy. But he’s hungry to learn all there is to know, and is planning on attending music college for  guitar after graduation. Problem is, he’s not too sure what he’ll need to know to get in, and he’s a little  worried about it. Actually, hes a lot worried. Sound familiar? If so, then read on â€" you’re about to find out the 10 Guitar Strategies For a Successful  College Audition! 1. Have The Right Reasons If you’re really serious about wanting to attend college for guitar (and then making a go at a career in  music) you’d better be doing it for the right reasons. Here are two of the wrong reasons: I want to be famous. I want to make a lot of money. Those two things may in fact happen to you, and if they do, GREAT! But to have a sustainable, lifelong  relationship with music one that continues even when the going gets tough there’d better be more  behind your desire. For me, I simply couldn’t (and still can’t) not do music. The desire to create, to  challenge yourself, to deepen your character, and to share music with others is what will fuel a  successful and sustainable music career in college and after. Do it for the right reasons for long enough,  and getting rich and famous (while more importantly, being fulfilled) could actually happen. Here’s a wakeup call for you: Even if you go to music college and decide to major in performance (in  other words, in playing guitar) the majority of work that you do, especially for the first two years, will  not be on playing guitar. You must be willing and excited to spend a lot of time away from the guitar, learning about  all aspects of music. If you don’t enjoy this part, you won’t last. Examples of all the fun stuff that comes with learning about music include:  ear training, text  book music theory, music analysis, conducting, music history, arranging, and solfeggio (sight singing). You need to crave knowledge about all of these things, or don’t even bother. Sound harsh? Not if you’ve  got what it takes! If hearing this actually gets you excited to be in an environment like that, then music  college is probably a good fit for you. It definitely was for me. 2. Know Your Audience For a contemporary music college, the application process usually involves sending an audition tape of  music “from the standard repertoire”. In my case, not really knowing what this meant at the time (and  being a metal guy!) I chose to play an intro to a Testament song by Alex Skolnick, who’s a pretty rippin’  player. I figured that if a song was from a CD I had, then it must be “from the standard repertoire”. I  pulled it off alright, but in hindsight it was kind of a dumb idea to choose a song like that. You see, while Berklee and many other music schools certainly embrace many kinds of music, they are  historically jazz institutions. So, what they’re often really looking for are pieces that demonstrate your  ability to improvise a bit, play chord solos, interpret melodies, etc. In other words, start learning to play jazz music from “the  standard repertoire” (out of a big book of songs called “The Real Book”).   Even though my audition  turned out okay, if I had to do it again, I would have been smarter to choose some  performance pieces designed to achieve a specific goal in this case, impressing the instructors at a  â€œjazz school” and not just choosing music that I thought was impressive. 3. Listen Start to immerse yourself in music daily, and not just the styles that are your current favorites (I’m still a  metal guy!). Listen especially to classical music from all time periods, as well as jazz. You will absolutely  pick up and absorb some important musical concepts simply through osmosis. Check out Jamey Aebersold’s extensive library of CDs for jazz students, great learning tools even if you don’t understand  what he’s talking about yet. They’re mostly for putting on and listening to while you’re doing other stuff,  and getting used to the sounds of jazz harmony and soloing. And, if you listen to Bach or Beethoven  every day, you will reap rewards a’plenty! 4. Watch I dont just mean to watch random videos on YouTube! I’m talking about getting your hands on some good guitar instructional videos, preferably some  no-nonsense ones from the late 80s or early 90s, put out by the companies REH or Alfred. Be sure to check some out some killer guitarists who are way over your head, like Scott Henderson, Al DiMeola, Allan Holdsworth,  Greg Howe, and  Frank Gambale. Don’t fret if you can’t understand anything they’re talking about (a  lot of these guys play great, but couldn’t teach their way out of a paper bag)! What’s important is to start getting an idea about what skills are out there that you don’t know about yet. These types of videos will  help you figure out where your weak points are and the areas of knowledge or technical ability that you  need the most work on. They can be equally inspirational and frustrating! 5. Know Your Notes Knowing notes is more than simply  reading them on the page. Its about actually finding and understanding them with the guitar. One of the biggest  problems that plagues most guitar players is not having all of the notes on the neck memorized. Everything  that you do, especially at the college level, has to do with notes. So does it make sense to not know  where they are on the guitar? Of course not. It’s absolutely essential knowledge for a serious player. 6. Scale Knowledge Memorizing scales on the guitar is of immense importance. There are six “families” of scales (including  all of their modes) that you must know to play contemporary music: Major Melodic Minor Harmonic Minor Diminished Whole Tone Pentatonic Knowing the fingerings and shapes on the neck is an important first  step. But the actual ability to build them in your head in any key, to know the sound, and to start them from  anywhere on the neck is vital  for reading, improvisation, and writing. It’s a big task, but  one that every aspiring college guitar student needs to tackle. 7. Chord Knowledge Understanding how to build chords, from triads to extended harmony chords like E7susb9 and other  weird ones, is an absolutely essential skill to master before attending college for guitar. Analysis of chord  progressions is a necessary skill for really understanding how songs work and how they’re structured. Chord and scale relationships also help you understand how to play or improvise over daunting chord  progressions (like Dm7b5 â€"G7alt â€"CmMaj7) and actually sound like you know what you’re doing! This  will give you an edge over your competition when applying or auditioning for music school not to  mention an increase in confidence. 8. Arpeggios Arpeggios are the same as chords, but played one note at a time. They help you unlock the potential of  chords as a resource for soloing, and it’s important to be able to build and play them all over the neck, including everything from  the standard major and minors, to the  7th arpeggios and all of the extended harmony arpeggios  (9ths, 11ths, etc.). 9. Sight Reading and Rhythm Reading What’s the best way to get a guitar player to turn down? Put sheet music in front of him! It’s a joke, but  completely true. Reading music (and especially rhythm) is one of the biggest blind spots for most guitar  players, and it will be a major handicap for you if you’re thinking about continuing your education at the  college level. So why hide from your fear? Tackle it head on! I find that rhythm really  intimidates many of my guitar students. It can look like a foreign language with all those beams and squiggles and dots. But it’s really not that bad when you have the proper guidance. After that, reading the pitches on the  music staff isn’t that hard at all, it just takes some practice. Being a strong reader is very impressive to  the people you’ll be auditioning for, so it pays to spend the time getting good at it. 10. Technical Ability and Speed Believe it or not, when it comes to getting into a music college for guitar, your raw technical ability and  speed aren’t as important as some of the other areas that we’ve mentioned. You don’t have to be a  shred master but why not go for it anyway! It can’t hurt. Playing fast is a goal for many guitarists, and  increasing your technical skill will add to your confidence and ability to impress at the college level. So, is your guitar teacher preparing you for all this stuff? If not, show them the door! For many students, finding a top-quality guitar teacher is one of the first steps on the road to majoring in music. Remember,  there’s a lot of competition to fill those limited spaces in the school that you want to get into. Here’s the  good news though: If you’ve got a good work ethic, a passion for learning about all aspects of music and  the guitar, and a great teacher with experience in all of this, then getting into the music college of your  dreams is a thoroughly achievable goal. Good luck â€" and keep practicing! Post Author:  Brett M. Brett is a guitar book author, metal recording artist, and video game composer.

A Day in the Life at the University of Florida

A Day in the Life at the University of Florida Mae earned her bachelors degree in Forest Resources and Conservation from the University of Florida. She specializes in science tutoring, study skills tutoring, and a number of other subjects. Below, she shares her experience at the University of Florida: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Mae: The University of Florida (or UF) is located at the heart of Gainesville, FL. It is home to 50,000+ students. The campus is as safe as a college campus can be. There are emergency phones located across campus, as well as emergency transportation if you find yourself out after dark and dont feel safe walking home. The bus system in Gainesville is adequate, and is free to UF students, faculty, and staff. There are plenty of bike lanes and racks if that is your preference. Just make sure to purchase a good lock. Parking is expensive, and spaces are hard to find unless you arrive on campus before 8:00 a.m. My advice is to only use this as an emergency option. How available are the professors, academic advisors, and teaching assistants? Mae: The availability of professors, advisors, and teaching assistants varies by major and college. Some colleges (like the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, or the College of Business) have a centralized advising office. This means that groups of advisors work with all the students in all majors in the college. Many of the departments within these colleges assign a faculty member to advise students in their majors. Other colleges (like the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences) assign advisors to each department, which means each advisor only advises students within a couple majors. This allows the advisor to become much more specialized in their knowledge about the majors, courses, career options, and internships. My undergraduate degree was in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. I could not have been happier with my advisor and faculty. I never had a problem getting the assistance I needed. How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Mae: I never lived in the dorms, so I cannot comment on them. I do know they offered plenty of programs throughout the year for students. There are plenty of dining options across campus. Some are recognizable fast food restaurants, and some are unique to UF. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Mae: UF is such a large institution that almost any major you could want is available. UF is the largest land grant institution in the state of Florida, which means they offer a large number of environmental and agricultural majors. My bachelors degree is in forest management. I chose that major because I love the outdoors and wanted a job that allowed me to work outside. The school and college that house my major are amazing. There were a ton of scholarship options at the school and college level, faculty teach a vast majority of the upper-division courses, there is an advisor in each department, and some of the faculty hire undergraduate students as research assistants (which looks really awesome on a resume). I cannot say enough good things about my experience in my major. How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Mae: I did not attend UF as a freshman, but I was an academic advisor there for eight years. I do know that there is a huge Greek community. There is also a one-credit freshman course that gives students an opportunity to get to know each other in small groups. How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services? Mae: Career centers vary by the college. UF holds career and internship fairs every year. My college held a career fair every year as well. The faculty and staff within my school worked to maintain relationships with potential employers. The school regularly hosted companies to conduct interviews for varying positions. How are the various study areas, such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Mae: UF is located in the center of Gainesville, and there is not much room for expansion on the main campus. With 50,000+ students, you can imagine it gets a little crowded. That said, there are multiple, large libraries and campus life buildings. Around lunch time, all of the cafeterias are very busy, and at the end of the semester, it can be hard to find an open table at a library. Describe the surrounding town. Mae: I loved living in Gainesville. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance of campus, and there is plenty to do on campus. Gainesville is located in the center of the state, and is about two hours from all the major cities except Miami. I loved the outdoor life. Alachua County is home to the largest concentration of large natural springs in the world, perfect for canoeing and swimming. There are beautiful state parks, and you are only about seven hours from the mountains of northern Georgia. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Mae: As I mentioned before, UF is home to 50,000+ students. Lower-division undergraduate courses can be huge (a couple hundred students), but there are smaller courses available. As an upper-division student, the classes are generally smaller. I was extremely pleased with my class size, but my major was one of the smaller ones on campus. If you like small, intimate courses, choose your major carefully. Academic advisors can help with this. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Mae: I really loved the vast majority of my upper-division courses. The only one I didnt like focused entirely on computers, and I really dont enjoy computers (but that wasnt the professors fault). My favorite classes were the labs. We spent hours outdoors trekking through the forests and swamps. I will always be grateful for professors who took the time to give us hands-on experience instead of just explaining everything in the classroom. Check out Maes tutoring profile.

What You Need To Know About Business Coaching

What You Need To Know About Business Coaching What is Business Coaching? ChaptersWhy Should You Get a Business Coach? How Does It Work?How Do You Pick a Coach? How Should Your Coach Help You?Business coaching is a process used to take a business from where it is now to where the business owner wants it to be. A business coach will assist and guide the business owner in growing their business by helping them clarify the vision of their business and how it fits in with their personal goals. Fitting the business vision in with the business owner’s personal goals is a step that is often missed by most business coaches, who often only focus on the business goals. In so doing, they are omitting the goals of the business owner altogether.A great business owner seeks to understand why reaching business growth goals is important to them personally, and the impact it will have on their life. After all, the business owner ultimately determines the speed and passion in which the goal is met (if ever), and if it is not linked to the business owner’s personal dream s, goals and plans for themselves, there is no burning reason why getting to that business goal  is critical.If you're an entrepreneur you could benefit from a business coach (Source: Free-Photos)4. To receive guidanceA business coach will challenge your thinking, goals  and how much you’re actually willing to work to achieve these goals. A coach also has unique insight that can broaden your business awareness.Ultimately a coach gives you gives you guidance on how to get from where you are to where you want to be. Once you do get there, they leave you to it; their job is done! The value of coaching resides in the mental tools the 'coachee' learns that help them navigate toward success both inside and outside of the business world.Business coaching is based on a relationship between you and your coach Photo Source: UnsplashHow Does It Work?Business coaching can take your business from where it is now to where you want it to be.After clarifying where a business owner would like to t ake their business, business coaching will help strategise and prioritise what goals and strategies are needed to help progress the business closer to its goal. A business coach will meet with the business owner regularly, either weekly or monthly, to keep them on track to the commitments made during the last coaching session.A critical component of business coaching is accountability. You will never see a football coach run laps of the field for their team. The very same fact is true of a business coach. A business coach is not a consultant. They will not do the work for you in your business. They are there to keep you focused on the end result and remind you why it is important. They will motivate you to keep your commitments. They will act as a sounding board and when needed hold a mirror in front of you, highlighting your business and personal blind spots.How Do You Pick a Coach?Nowadays there are a lot of people out there calling themselves business coaches. Without any real pr ofessional accreditations or associations, it’s hard to know who to trust. Business coaching is not consulting, and it’s also not therapy - it’s right between the two. A good business coach is someone you can trust that has the acumen to be able to diagnose specific and systemic issues in your business, but who has the strength to wait for you to deliver on the solution instead of jumping in and doing it for you.Being a good listener is half the equation, but a coach can’t help you unless they understand what makes a good business good and a great business great.Being smart about business is of course expected of a coach, but  they can’t help you unless they care about people and really want to get to know you personally. Coaches should adhere to basic principles in order to bring out the best in you. Great coaches are patient - their job is to help you get clear on what needs to happen next, but they wait for you to take action. And of course, they hold your feet to the f ire on your goals. A great coach lives by one rule: that you already have the fundamental ingredient to transform your business - which is the ability to change your relationship to it.  Not just about their methodology or the quality of the training, but about their approach to business and life in general. It’s a deeply personal engagement and on some level, you’re buying who they are and why they do what they do.Business Coaching is a relationship. It’s a place where you go for guidance, support, and challenge so you can figure out what’s in the way of creating the business you want. It’s about asking you the right questions in the right moments from a place of real competence so that you become a better leader for the sake of your business, your employees and your bottom line. Great coaching helps you build a company culture based on ownership and accountability, and backs up the right ideas with real tools to put theory and tools into practice.How Should Your Coach He lp You?Here’s how you should evaluate every meeting with your coach, and the relationship overall:Do they meet you where you are? Are they comfortable being with what’s real at the moment - whether that’s to celebrate a success or really be there with you when something goes wrong?Do they know where they are? Do they have proven  experience that they use to ask the right questions for your specific business in the specific stage it’s in? Can they hold a long-term vision while they help you fix today’s problems? Do they notice patterns and trends in your  behaviour  or are they just reacting to today’s frustrations? You want wise counsel, not quick fixes.Do they make you more curious and hungry? Their way of thinking about things should be infectious, you should find yourself asking other people the kinds of questions they ask you.Do they understand what coaching is? Watch out for consultants in disguise and amateur therapists.Do they have the guts to make you mad? They s hould be willing to fire you if you don’t honour your commitment to yourself to show up, do the work and make changes.A great coach is a lot of things - but the best way to say it is that they’re not your best friend, they’re the business’ best friend - and that’s a partnership where everybody wins.Many great business success stories credit their results in part to having a great business coach. Whether you are just starting out or are already established but looking to go in a different direction, a business coach can really help you get there.  There are various other types of coaching, including:personal development coachingcreative coachinghealth coachingspiritual life coaching

Please contact us should you need any additional information. Thank you for entrusting us with the care and learning of your children. Omolola Wright Odusoga Head of School
