Public Speaking Anxiety - Private Tutoring
Public Speaking Anxiety BobbiM Apr 3, 2014 Do you freak out when you have to speak in front of people? Public speaking causes people to react in strange ways. They may find that their hands get sweaty, that their mouth is dry, or that they forgot what they were going to say. In fact, research has found that some people fear public speaking more than death. In college, there will be many times when you are equites to speak in public, whether it is making a comment in a large lecture class or giving a presentation or speech to a class. Coping with Public Speaking Anxiety: the best way to cope with a fear of public speaking is to be prepared. Practice your presentation out loud several times before presenting it to your class. Practice in front of a mirror, or better yet, recruit some friends to listen to your speech. Have them record your time to be sure that you are on track an ask them to critique your speaking style using the following questions: -Are you speaking too fast? Sometimes when people are nervous they talk very fast, which makes it difficult for the audience to follow. Dont rush through your talk. Instead, try to use a conversational tone. -Are you using good inflection? When people are nervous they sometimes speak in a monotone, which is difficult to listen to for an extended period of time. Try to speak confidently and with enthusiasm. -Are you jittery? You may find yourself moving from side to side or wringing you hands when you are nervous. It is good to move around a little, such as using hand gestures or walking around to include the audience, but too much nervous movement can be distracting to your audience. -Are you making eye contact? When you are giving your presentation it may help to focus on one or two friendly faces in the room and present to them. You should be sure to make eye contact with the other people in the room, of course. But concentrate mostly on those two people. This strategy should help calm your fear of speaking in front of a large group. -Have you jotted down some notes? Making some notes to follow during your presentation makes you feel more secure and confident. Even though you have rehearsed your talk and have a good idea of what you will cover, you should have notes of your presentation with you just in case you need a reminder of what you are going to say. Excerpt from College Success Strategies by Sherrie L. Nist and Jodi Patrick Holschuh.
Want to Be the Best Babysitter Ever Get Certified!
Want to Be the Best Babysitter Ever Get Certified! Photo courtesy of pixabay.com 1. CPR: As an active babysitter myself, this is the most popular request I have received. The Red Cross offers courses, and there are many other online options as well. This certification does cost a bit of money, but if you have already signed up to babysit for someone, you may consider asking them to use part of your pay to pay for the course. It is very quick and easy, but it will help you gain trust in any family you babysit. 2. First Aid: Chances are that if you are CPR certified, you are also first aid certified. But if you choose to opt out of the CPR, the first aid certification is a good starting position that will still get you in many doors. This course will teach you the basic facts of caring for a child, such as how to treat simple cuts, how to perform the Heimlich maneuver, and how to stabilize a child until further help arrives. 3. General Babysitter Certification: Check out if there are any 4-H Clubs near you that offer babysitter certification services. These courses provide useful tips as to how to entertain children, what to do when children act up, and what to do in emergency situations. You can also receive your first-aid certification through the program. The clubs will often come to schools to conduct the certification, which will be one day a week for a month, but there are other options as well. If there is no 4-H near you, check for a Safe Sitter course. It offers many of the same things as 4-H. You can also find a similar course at your local YMCA. The top three certifications are the most important to have, as they directly relate to the safety of the children. There are, however, other steps you can take to further set yourself apart from other applicants and increase your credibility. Photo courtesy of pixabay.com 4. Drivers License: You will find that many parents want to hire someone that will be able to pick up/drop off their children at school or extracurricular activities. So, having your license (and access to a car) can prove a valuable asset. 5. Lifeguard: Especially for the summer, this certification is very valuable. Many families may have access to a pool club or public pool, and they will want someone who they can trust to swim with their children and help as needed. Of course, all of these places have lifeguards, but extra reassurance is never a problem. Furthermore, if these families have pools in the backyard, you will act as the one and only lifeguard. 6. Pet Care: Pets are common in family households, so parents like you to be comfortable around them. Whats even better, however, is if you can take care of the pets. Its actually possible to become certified in pet sitting. If you own a pet yourself, that may be enough, but it can never hurt to be over prepared. 7. Nutrition: Consider taking some nutrition classes or a Cooking 101 session. These will give you more credibility when a parent wants someone that can prepare meals for their children. If your school does not offer a class, or if it cant fit in your schedule, keep an eye out for events going on locally. There are many opportunities you may not realize were ever out there. 8. Tutoring: Being a certified tutor can also play to your advantage. It shows that you are able to work well with children in addition to being an academically strong candidate. While not all of these certifications are necessary, nor does having them necessarily mean that you will get the job, they will certainly provide an advantage over a disadvantage. Most parents are willing to give you a chance if you show that you are responsible. Think back to your favorite babysitters and what you liked about them, and aspire to be like them. At the same time, do not forget that babysitting is not always fun and games. You should be prepared for anything and know how to respond. With everyone wanting a babysitting job these days, consider going the extra mile with these certifications to seal the deal.

Graduation Advice Develop a Craftsmen Mindset
Graduation Advice Develop a Craftsmen Mindset This June many of TutorZ students will graduate. For them I am dispensing a piece of career advice: Develop a Craftsmen Mindset! To be sure, most of TutorZ 2017 graduates have worked hard in their years of study. They have and earned their degree. That all very fine, congratulations! After a summer with friends, partners or travel, expectations are high to find the perfect job they think their true calling within their grasps. So, many of these students not only expect to earn a lot of money but also to be fulfilled by their new assignments, they seek to find their true passion right at the beginning of their career. While finding your true (professional) passion is a virtuous undertaking it is prone to fail! Really? No? Yes! Sorry, to break it to you. Now you might retort: But school teachers were preaching for years that finding your passion is the key to happiness; success and money will follow consequently. And they might even add: Marsha Sietar even wrote a best-seller on this subject Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow. My answer is yes, thats all true and quite unfortunate. The problem of Sietars passion-first approach is that it makes graduates focus on what their new work environment can offer to them instead of being focused on providing value. By definition, junior employees are tasked with smaller assignments these come later. A long list of seemingly demenial task is a recipe to chronic job frustration instead of pathway to passion. Other sources of frustration include corporate bureaucracy, not yet being accepted by piers, less than expected salaries and being left out from insider chats in the hallway. A graduates new job looks now looks like a huge mistake than his vocation. For these reasons, listen to Georgetown University professor Cal Newport career advice: Become undeniable good at your job so that they cant ignore you. In other words, develop a craftsman mindset, rather and a passion mindset. Craftsmen work hard to offer value to their employers and customers. They learn, practice and train. They understand that pain and frustration can be a part of the job and dont get discourage by it. They develop their skills and make their customers happy. Craftsmen become better and better at their work to the extend they feel quite satisfied and eventually can become passionate. So the craftsmen mind sent trumps the passion mindset. In short, a craftsmen mindset prevents graduates from become overly frustrated and enables them find their true vocation quicker than their passion-centered colleagues.

How to Prepare for Your Summer Internship
How to Prepare for Your Summer Internship pixabay.com Starting a summer internship? There are some things you should do to prepare yourself (and the company) for your presence over the next few months. Google search yourself It would be wise to see what lies in the search results. Your soon-to-be coworkers are bound to do it. Check your Facebook, too. You dont want anything wild showing up as your first impression, do you? Privacy settings are real and important. It would behoove you to check on that before you show up for your first day. Review the companys website Dont look like a doofus when you show up and know nothing about the companys online image. Itll be important for you to be familiar with all parts of the company. Trust me, read up on what the company stands for. Never say no Whether its making coffee or copies, your job as an intern is to learn everything. Walk into this internship knowing that you may have to do some things you dont exactly want to. But itll be important for you to show a strong work ethic and do it anyway. Prepare yourself to leave a positive, lasting impression on your employer and coworkers. Write some thank you notes Anyone who helped you land this internship deserves a hand-written note from you. Itll make you look good and respectable if you take some time to be sincerely appreciative. A little bit of work can go a long way. Prepare yourself for some major kissing up If theres any ounce of you that wants to turn this internship into a job afterward, prepare to do some major impressing. Towards the end of your internship, itll be important for you to express how interested you are in becoming a true part of the company. Make some good connections and anticipate staying in touch they might be your connectors to your dream job in the future. Make a bucket list Likely, there are things you want to learn or accomplish while at your internship. If you sit down beforehand and make a list of all these things, itll be much easier to assess how youre doing in the middle of the summer. Make a note on your calendar to review this bucket list. After all, you want to get the most out of your internship, dont you? Assess your wardrobe This is especially important for the first few weeks of the internship. Youre making an impression. Make sure youre showing up to work in something thats appropriate and respectable. Basketball shorts and a tank? No thank you. Connect with your mentor After all, thats what theyre there for, right? Ask them what you should expect and what you need to do/know walking into your first day.
Kuta Software Infinite Algebra 1 Help Me!
Kuta Software Infinite Algebra 1 Help Me!When dealing with exponential or infinite sums, we all need the answer to 'does Kuta Software Infinite Algebra 1 help me?' The short answer is yes. But you may want to understand why.Kuta, a leading exponent computing software is available for free on the Internet. Unfortunately, it does not help when you have an infinite sum. This is because the software is unable to perform a certain type of mathematical operation known as the summation to make a correct answer.What is an 'order-of-magnitude test' you ask? If you are referring to the mathematical operation that allows the software to compute the exponents, then the answer is a resounding 'yes'. The order-of-magnitude test allows you to order the values of the exponents according to their values of the exponent and then compute the final answer by summing all the different exponents together. Unfortunately, with Kuta, it does not work this way.However, the function used to calculate the expon ents is a numerical constant known as the Ternary Exponent. This is used to determine how far a particular number can go before it reaches its limit. The solution to this equation is to compute the 'log' of the value of the number being calculated (the 'exponent') and then divide the result by the 'number of iterations' to come up with the next digits of the number being calculated.The problem is that the equation that the software uses cannot be performed by a calculator. The mathematical operations that are used to compute the log of the exponent must be computed on the computer using a standard software. This is a very difficult thing to do for any normal computer user. Thus, as an exponents calculator, it has no use other than to 'help' you figure out how far away the number is from reaching its limit. For an exponent that is extremely large, this can take months if not years to do.Kuta would actually benefit you if it could do this calculation. However, it cannot because it is incapable of performing this mathematical operation. Since it is a limitation inherent in its programming, it has no other purpose other than to get you to buy the product.

What is the STEAM Movement
What is the STEAM Movement In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on STEM subjects Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Here are some great tips to help succeed in science and engineering. This emphasis is accompanied with the belief that these four subjects should be prioritized in education to match rapid growth in these fields in the industry. Here are 4 benefits of STEM studies. There is evidence to show that while jobs in these areas are increasing, there are not enough individuals with sufficient education to meet the workplace demand. In fact, studies have shown that the United States has fallen behind in both interest and education in these areas. Thus, STEM programs have been receiving support at both the national and state level in order to increase student interest and success. What is STEAM? With innovation in mind, some educators are calling for an integration of the arts back into the curriculum. This movement changes STEM to STEAM, by adding a critical piece left out of the STEM subjects: Art. The STEAM movement seeks to add Art and Design as another education area that should be focused on, with the idea that innovation and creative thinking are gained by uniting art and design with science and technology. Here are some great reasons why the arts are crucial to education. Why should STEAM be implemented? While the arts may seem quite distinct from science and technology, proponents of the STEAM movement maintain that the two can, and should, be integrated. For one, they state that in our media-saturated culture, integrating the arts (specifically visual and media arts) will make STEM subjects more appealing to younger generations, thus sparking increased interest in these fields. Additionally, art and design are important, although sometimes overlooked, areas of expertise, especially in the field of technology. Even employers who are hiring students in traditional STEM fields can benefit from the STEAM movement and the addition of arts and design to the fields of science and technology. Several recent studies have shown that up to 95% of employers want to hire individuals who are innovative. Additionally, similar studies have shown that around 85% of employers are actively seeking creative people to hire, yet struggling to find them. Advocates of the STEAM movement believe that the arts lead to creativity, and that creativity in turn leads to innovation. Hence, by teaching students the arts and integrating art and design into the fields of science, students of technology, engineering, and mathematics can become more innovative thinkers within those fields. According to this program, the alliance of Art with STEM will help students become more creative, increase their employability, and be successful in needed industries.
