Cost of Study Point Tutoring - Tips to Finding the Best Study GroupWith the cost of study point tutoring at competitive rates, it can become a way for students to get an education by joining the right study group. The first step in becoming an interactive tutor is looking at different tutoring places in your area.The first step is to find a tutor. Many organizations offer the courses free to study and provide a certificate when you finish them. You will need to decide if this course is right for you.Getting your degree is a personal decision. The courses that offer online courses and are cheapest are not necessarily the best. As with most things, there are pros and cons to the option. While cost is an important factor, the cost of study point tutoring may be worth it if it gives you quality help and gives you a lot of satisfaction.First of all, be sure to check that the course is actually offered by a university or college. It is probably a good idea to look at schools in your state and learn about the courses they offer. Most of the time, these institutions will offer the courses free. Then, you can search on their website for more information about the courses they offer and the tuition they offer.Next, learn more about the courses offered by the school. Not all are offered in every course offered at the university. There are some courses that students will find boring. If this is the case, it is better to look at different schools and find one that will offer a good course that will satisfy your needs.Now that you have found a school that offers the course, the next step is choosing a study group. The cost of study point tutoring is not as high as in the traditional colleges, so there is a more chance that you will be able to pay for the tutor yourself. However, if you go to a school, it is likely that you will be paying through your tuition. In this case, you may want to look for a school that will match you to a study group that fits your needs.Check out t he list of available study groups that you can join. These can be free tutoring groups, peer tutoring groups, tutoring classes, online study groups, and even sports study groups. These groups are all about helping students that may be a little out of the box in terms of the traditional study groups. Students that find success in studying online can find that they are even more successful as well.

English Phrasal Verb of the Day To Hook Up

English Phrasal Verb of the Day To Hook Up Its easy for us native English speaker to forget how complicated and confusing English phrasal verbs (verbs comprised of 2 or more words) are. While they come naturally to us, indeed they are often part of informal speech, they are widely considered to be one of the most challenging aspects of English.Consider the phrasal verb to hook up. If you are just starting to learn English, the following sentence may seem very confusing:We hooked our new computer up to the network. The word up seems to have no place in this sentence, it isnt clear that it goes with the word hooked, and theres no reason that the two words should add up to mean connect. And then theres the fact that hooked up only means connect in this context.Hooked up can be used to ask someone to put you in contact with someone:I asked Jim to hook me up with the girl we met at the club last night. Or it can mean to do you a favor:Jim hooked me up with two tickets to the U2 concert. I can mean to meet with people:Did you hook up with your friends last night? And, as if this phrasal verb couldnt get anymore confusing, it can mean to have sex with someone:Did you hook up with the girl you met at the club last night? Note that in the other usages of hook up, the phrasal verb is usually separated by a noun or pronoun, as in: Hook me up, or Hook Jim up. In this final two usages, it is not separated. The construction of these last two usages are very similar, and you should really have a good handle on how theyre used before trying it out. Or just use it, and be prepared for some humorous misunderstandings.In the end, proper usage of the English phrasal verb hook up is all about context. I recommend testing it out with close friends, or with a native English tutor, before trying it out in the real world. Also, you should note that it is an informal way of speaking, and therefore generally meant to be used with people you are familiar with.Want to learn more phrasal verbs?

Making the Most of This School Year

Making the Most of This School Year A new school year has begun and you and your child want to get things off on the right foot. Whether last year was your childs best year yet or he or she faced some challenges, its always a good idea to take time at the start of the new year to reflect, set goals, and focus. How can you encourage your child to make this year a great one? Here are several tips for parents: Set the tone for positivity.A positive attitude will help children overcome hard times in school and life. Parents who embrace an optimistic mindset influence their children to do the same. The goal is to help children believe that every challenge or misstep is an opportunity to grow and become better. Talking about admirable role models who have overcome roadblocks to achieve big things reminds children that nobody has a completely smooth pathand they shouldnt be discouraged if their journey has bumps along the way. Explore what went right last year.The simple exercise of reflection is powerful, helping children look back on what they learned, where they were most successful, the experiences with teachers and other students that were most memorable and transformative, and more. Parents can take time as they and their children prepare to go back to school to talk about what went right last year, what they would like to change and whether there are any specific adjustments they want to make, such as their study routine. Talk about what is (and isnt) in their control.So much in life isnt in our control, and its an important reminder for children to focus on what is. To succeed in school, children must pay attention in class, give every subject their best effort and ask for help when they need it. When bad grades happen, parents should encourage their children to think about what they could have done to prepare more effectively for the assignment or test and make a plan to do better next time. Children who consistently take ownership of their school experienceand assume responsibility for itare more grounded and motivated. Commit to daily organization.Staying organized is a challenge for just about everyone. For children who struggle to keep on top of things, now is the time to revisit the homework routine and determine what needs changing. Parents should go over best practices for using the daily planner to keep track of homework and important dates as well as housekeeping items like a good process for filing school paperwork and keeping binders and backpacks tidy. Checklists around the house are useful tools to reinforce those daily to-dos. Set goals.Goal setting is such an important part of the kickoff to a new school year, encouraging a growth mindset and helping children get into the right frame of mind to give school their best effort this year. Over a few nights, parents should sit down with their children to talk about (and write down) academic and personal goals for the year. There is great value in including in this list some of the steps needed to achieve those goals and discussing how Mom and Dad can offer support. Even a little effort toward helping your child prepare for a new school year will make a big difference. Your child will feel calmer and more prepared, making for a smooth transition from summer break to school modeand a happier household overall.

8 Best Tablets For The Regular Student On A Budget

8 Best Tablets For The Regular Student On A Budget Image via Siddartha Thota on Flickr We’ve all been there: you spy someone in lecture whipping out their handy-dandy tablet in preparation for class, and you sorely wish you had one to bring to class too, instead of that massive 15-pound monstrosity of a laptop. Well, look no further (but really, please do), because I’ve done the research for you and found 8 tablets that I think strike the best balance between quality and frugality. So read on, spend on  and save on! 8.)  Dell Venue 8:  $109.90 Image via Amazon.com Like youll soon see with the others on this list, the Dell Venue 8 is what critics like to call a “bargain tablet,” but don’t think that means it’s a piece of junk. On the contrary, the Venue 8 appears to be a very average, solid tablet. That being said, nothing about it really stands out, but then again, what do you need something flashy for when you can receive stable instead? Cnet.com provides a review of the Dell Venue 8  here. 7.)  Acer Iconia A1-830: $149.99 Image via Amazon.com The Acer Iconia A1-830 might be a bit of a mouthful to say, but trust me, its functionality is simple and solid. Its design is also eye-catching (Cnet.com calls it “fetching”), while its responses are equally attractiveâ€"they earn the titles “swift” and “smooth.” Unfortunately, it seems that reading small text can be a bit of a chore on the Iconia, so one of the other tablets on this list might be a better choice if that’s your primary objective. Cnet.com’s review of the Acer Iconia A1-830 can be found  here. 6.)  Lenovo A10: $199 Image via Shop.Lenovo.com If you’re looking for a larger tablet, look no further than the Lenovo A10; this bad boy delivers 10 inches of screen for your viewing pleasure. However, the screen resolution is said to be poorer than some other similarly priced tablets, but if you’re willing to take the risk, the Lenovo A10 has a strong base to make up for that. What’s really got people raving about this tablet is its sound quality. Dual front-facing speakers apparently deliver crystal clear, rich depth, which is made even better by its handy Dolby app that lets you customize your music/sound settings. Cnet.com has a helpful review of the Lenovo A10  here. 5.)  Asus MeMo Pad 8: $180.49 Image via Amazon.com First of all, the Asus MeMo Pad 8 is impressive right off the bat due to its thin and light frame. On the other hand, here’s a word to the wary: this tablet does run on an Android operating system, so if you know that’s not for you, then you should skip this one. However, users have commented that Asus provides a number of easy, useful tutorials to get new users used to the tablet, so don’t let this scare you off. Cnet.com promoted this tablet as “approachable,” and I’d have to agree. You can check out Cnet.com’s review of the Asus MeMo Pad 8  here. 4.)  LG G Pad 7.0: $119 Image via Frys.com At just over $100, this tablet is definitely a steal. However, the relatively small 8 GB of internal storage may not be enough for more dedicated users. That being said, the LG G Pad 7.0 does have some cool features not often seen in tablets in this price range. For instance, you can multitask with dual windows, meaning that you can, for example, watch Youtube videos while reading your emails, if you’re so inclined. And while the dual window function is described as pretty limited, I still think that’s a really awesome feature to throw in. Overall, this tablet is ideally suited for a casual user. For a more detailed review, check out Cnet.com’s analysis of the LG G Pad 7.0  here. 3.)  Barnes and Noble Nook HD+: $169.99 Image via Amazon.com Like the Asus Memo Pad 8 (#5 on this list), this 9-inch tablet stuns with its light and thin body. The Nook HD+ then continues to shower you in good things by being one of the best tablets on the market for reading (if you’re anything like me, that just made your mouth water). In fact, Cnet.com notes that the Nook HD+ “implements magazines and catalogs” better than any other tablet out there. One main drawback is that the tablet doesn’t come equipped with a camera, but if you’re like me and don’t intend to use a tablet as your main camera anyway, then that doesn’t matter much. Cnet.com’s review of this great tablet is  here. 2.)  Google Nexus 7: $189 Image via http://ecx.images-amazon.com At $189, this tablet is one of the more expensive ones on this list, but I’d like to think that its performance more than makes up for its relatively steep price. For instance, aside from being the lightest tablet on the market, the Nexus 7 also has an impressively full and deep picture quality that appears to dominate other tablets even of higher price ranges. On top of that, the Nexus 7’s generous battery life (beaten only barely by the much more expensive iPad Mini) and its ultra-fast, super-sensitive responsiveness make this tablet hard to beat. The main drawback of this tablet is that it’s significantly more expensive than the #1 tablet on this list, the Amazon Fire HD 6, and everyone knows that any extra cash a student can hang onto is cash well saved. Cnet.com’s review of the Google Nexus 7 is  here. 1.)  Amazon Fire HD 6: $99 Image via Amazon.com If we’re looking solely at price, you sure can’t beat this tablet. Even better, Amazon delivers quality along with this monetary steal, so this tablet can go head to head with much more expensive ones, as well. The great screen resolution that you get with this undeniable bargain deal seems to be what’s impressing most buyers, along with its immediate responsiveness and decent battery life. And at a 6 inch screen size, everyone seems to agree that this tablet is the perfect sizeâ€"neither too big nor too small, just like Goldilocks. After all, not having to lug around a laptop-sized item is exactly the purpose of a tablet, right? Finally, a surprising yet reassuring fact about this tablet is that a great number of buyers have recommended this one over Amazon’s newer version, the Amazon Fire HD 7. While you can look up reviews yourself, the Fire HD 7’s poorer screen resolution and significantly higher price speak for themselves. My conclusion, you ask? The Amazon Fire HD 6 is exactly the tablet to snap up this year. If you don’t want to take my word for it, you can read Cnet.com’s review of the Amazon Fire HD 6  here. Note:  If you’re willing to shell out a little more dough (maybe because you’re saving so much with the Amazon Fire HD 6, perhaps?), the  Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7  ($179.99) is touted by Cnet.com as one of the top 3 best tablets for your bucks. It’s similar to the Fire HD 6, but has some extra bells and whistles. You can find out more from their review of the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7  here.
