Childrens Songs For English Learning - A Parents Choice For Early Years

Children's Songs For English Learning - A Parent's Choice For Early YearsChildren love the idea of hearing English songs and stories, especially during bedtime. These songs and stories allow them to relax and enjoy their restful nights at home. However, singing lullabies and classical songs for babies and toddlers are quite challenging in itself. Most parents, however, want their children to learn English songs and so have decided to teach them the language through nursery rhymes.That, however, is not an easy task. One reason why nursery rhymes may not be a good option for children who are only six months old or younger is that they tend to speak English with a tone of voice which is very different from that of adults. As a result, it is often difficult for the children to hear the words clearly, understand the meaning, and remember what the words mean.However, one option is to turn to nursery rhymes, which are usually full of colorful words and phrases which children can easily foll ow. They can also retain the words that rhyme with the ones they are reading. Furthermore, they can understand the English language itself.Most children's songs for beginners which you can find on the internet are the children's songs that have been written by experts in the field of teaching children to read and write. Such songs are filled with fun-to-listen elements that are suitable for the early years. For example, a song like 'A Fine Day for the Moon' by Dave Van Ronk, which is written in simple but vivid English, is appropriate for kids who are still learning the language.Some children's songs for beginners such as 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head', written by David MacDonald, is a good alternative to a traditional English nursery rhyme. This is because it is written in a way that is appealing and entertaining to children, as well as to adults.There are also many songs which are known for being suitable for children, such as 'Chocolate Raindrops' by John Lewis, which has be en known for helping young children to master words and sentences, and also to learn vocabulary. In fact, it has even been cited as a wonderful aid for developing the ability to use and interpret words.In the early years, children need music to help them learn the basics of how to speak. Since they cannot memorize everything that a nursery rhyme says, songs will help them listen and learn the words and create a good connection between sounds and words.

LOI English Teachers Kathryn Johnson

LOI English Teachers Kathryn Johnson Getting to know people from all over the world is one of the perks of working and learning online. It is fun to talk to people with different backgrounds, that is why many of the LOI English teachers say that they love meeting new people and  Kathryn Johnson is an example of that.Kathryn is from the United States and has a degree in Latin American Studies from the University of California. Nowadays, she is living in Chile and teaches English to people from around the world. Normally, her students are from Brazil, Russia and Japan, but she has also taught English in Chile in a government program to help students improve their TOEIC score.She told me that she had lived in Chile in 2005, when she got her certification to teach English, but then she moved back to the US.  Kathryn believes that going where you feel happy is the most important thing, so when she was feeling stuck, she decided to move back to Chile to live by the shore, improve her Spanish and teach English.Kathryn said tha t she believes that the issues that Spanish and Portuguese speakers have are very similar and she uses her knowledge of Spanish and Portuguese to help those students. When I asked her what type of materials she normally uses to allow students to understand abstract concepts or to improve their knowledge of the language, she confessed that she is not that good with book references and said  that she usually refers to movies to explain some concepts to her students.For example, one time, when she was trying to explain the meaning of the word mumble, she used the movie Dick Tracy, that has a character named Mumbles, played by Dustin Hoffman, that mumbles a lot! According to her, watching movies can also help improve the understanding and proper use of phrasal verbs.She also said that cultural differences sometimes can get in the way of learning English. That is why she tries to incorporate cultural aspects in the learning process, making sure to explain or give references of movies tha t can help students know more about the culture of English speaking countries and therefore be able to better assimilate her teachings.Kathryn is very easy to talk to and our conversation was pure fun. If you are looking for a teacher that engages in interesting conversations and lets you speak about what you like, she is definitely a good option!

How an Irvine Tutor Can Help With College Admissions Part II

How an Irvine Tutor Can Help With College Admissions Part II An Irvine Tutor Can Help with College Applications (Part II) An Irvine Tutor Can Help with College Applications (Part II) Resumes and Supplements Many schools ask for resumes as part of your application, have additional supplementary requirements, or allow for these additions as optional portions of your application.   As an experienced tutor can help guide you through these portions.   Should you add supplemental information, is it optional?   What should be included in your resume?   How do you answer the extra questions they ask?   Some of the questions seem random or weird; how do they want you to answer them? An experienced tutor can guide you through these questions and more.   You should never be confused about how to answer a question or what a college is looking for. Recommendations Your tutor probably isn’t someone who will be writing you a letter of recommendation for your applications.   However, they can definitely help you gather good ones.   Students are often very nervous about asking teachers and superiors for letters of recommendation.   They don’t know who to ask or how to ask, and most importantly, they don’t know if the letters they are receiving are good. But your letters of recommendation can be a huge part of your applications.   A bad letter can tank your admission decisions, and lukewarm or generic letters can keep you out of your top schools who were looking for more. A tutor can help guide you through the process.   They know what colleges are looking for in letters of recommendation and are familiar with the process.   They can help you ask the right people the right way.   Your letter writers should know what you want included to better your acceptance chances.   Your tutor may also help you diversify your letter writers if you are submitting several applications, and guide you on how to know if the letters you are getting are high quality. Planning and Review Overall, the college search and application process is stressful, time-consuming, and confusing to navigate.   Couple that with all of the other added stress going on in a student’s life during this time, and you have a formula for procrastination and unoptimized submissions. A tutor can help you make a plan and stick with.   They know what to do and how long it will take.   Most importantly, they can check -n and hold you or your student accountable for completing tasks on time. In this way, you can eliminate procrastination and mitigate stress â€" while still improving application quality.   A tutor can also make sure the applications are done ahead of time to give ample time for review and adjustments. An experienced, specialized tutor can do much more than help students improve grades and test scores.   If you or your students are preparing college applications, consider an in-home Irvine tutor to help guide and improve the process.   Don’t let these applications get submitted without exact time, effort, and expert knowledge making sure that they are the best that they can be.

TutorZ is SSL Encrypted to Boost Security, Integrity and Google Ranking

TutorZ is SSL Encrypted to Boost Security, Integrity and Google Ranking Palo Alto, California, November 29th, 2016 -TutorZ LLC, the nation-wide leader of affordable tutoring now uses SSL encryption to protect the users data. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a security technology that establishes an encrypted link between a web server and a browser and maintains the privacy of the communication and guarantees the safety of the visitors data. The encryption of the data has been completed for all pages. As of today all TutorZ pages are seen in a browser with the green lock indicating a safe and secure connection to the TutorZ server. In even more technical terms the SSL update provides users with three layers of protection: 1. Data encryption. This means that data, such as username and passport, are encrypted and cannot be seen by a possible eavesdropper. 2. Data Integrity. Data, such as payment cannot be modified or re-directying during the transfer. 3. Authentication. This means that only users who they claim to be can communicate with TutorZ and our credit card provider PayPal. To TutorZ as a company the SSL deployment has several key benefits itself: 1. More referrer data. Whenever traffic passes from a secure HTTPS site to a non-secure HTTP site, the referral data gets stripped away. This traffic shows up in TutorZ Google analytics report as Direct. This is a problem because we dont know where the traffic actually comes from. 2. Google ranking boost. As of 2014 Google increases the ranking of pages that are secured by SSL. This boost can even be quantified to range between 1% and 5%, according to a searchmetrics study in 2015. In 2016 Google even increased its emphasis on the HTTPS signal to the point that almost all top ranked pages at Google are SSL secured. There is a right way to update a website with SSL. For us a TutorZ right looks like this: 1. HTTPS is enabled, meaning you can type in https://www.tutorz.com and youll see the website â€" d’oh! 2. The other HTTPS URL â€" in this case https://tutorz.com â€" as well as both HTTP URLs (http://tutorz.com and http://www.tutorz.com) all redirect to https://www.tutorz.com ensuring there is only one canonical version of the content available 3. Every redirect leads directly to the canonical version of the content. It redirects A B, not A C D B. 4. Every redirect uses the HTTP status codes for permanent redirects (301) instead of temporary redirects (302 or 307) Lets toast to us with bottle of properly authenticated party participants drinking a class of integrity cocktail to boost ??

Great Education Through Tutoring Education

Great Education Through Tutoring EducationTutoring education in the US and Canada can be found with many teaching institutes. The institutes which offer tutoring education in the US and Canada are all very well established with good reputations. They are highly regarded by both parents and children for their regular high quality tutoring service. They also offer unique tutoring classes that are based on a particular subject.Tutoring is regarded as a form of teaching in which a student is taught and trained to teach others. This is often done in group discussions where the teacher does not address the students directly. The lesson that is taught is much like the classroom, the students and teachers are just separated into two rooms and the discussion is only between the students and the teacher. The students and teachers spend a specific period in a room together. Some areas of the lessons are referred to the students as 'lines'.In some countries, tutoring is taught through the intern et. There are many online tutoring institutions where the tutors work and live through the internet. There are also some schools in India and other parts of the world where there are internet related tutoring courses for students. Other than these, there are many companies who sell tutoring education and have their own institutes or centres.Tutoring education is a science and it requires the same procedure for any educational institution. When you visit a classroom where there is no class teachers, you see that the students do not get anxious. They are able to do very well. Similarly, the class teachers get nervous when they enter the class where there is no one to guide them. There is always the fear that the teacher may forget his/her lesson or should give it in a wrong way.To overcome this, the students with poor handwriting must be made to write by the tutor himself or herself. Or if there is a need, a public speaker could be asked to speak on the lessons. This would then give t he student confidence and feel a sense of achievement as he/she has become competent.The students too need encouragement and support to succeed. It is a fact that once you do not get proper tutoring education, it becomes difficult to compete at higher levels. Hence, you must spend a considerable amount of time in getting a good tutor education.Learning without the support from a teacher is as if you were learning alone. On the other hand, the tutoring sessions done by a tutor are akin to an education session. Thus, taking up tutoring education is seen as important as the acquisition of learning.
