Discover the world of English literature
Discover the world of English literature Many students will associate reading great works of English literature with having to do exams on them come the end of term. Of course, it was never Virginia Woolf's intention to have To the Lighthouse form a part of an A-level English course. Admittedly this can deaden the impact of great literature, but with the help of an English tutor your child could take real pleasure in these great works while working toward satisfying academic achievements. When it comes to getting your kids to read there's an awful lot to compete with. The quantity and variety of media that they are exposed to is staggering. From television and video games to iPods and the internet, it's no wonder their attention might appear to wander a few pages into Sense and Sensibility. However much of the pleasure of reading comes from its slow release, which can initially feel like inaccessibility. A great entry point is to try and find something of the modern day within these seemingly foreign worlds of centuries past. How would your child feel in the shoes of the orphaned Oliver Twist? Can they relate to Winston Smith's desire for freedom in 1984? If you think your child would benefit from getting acquainted with English literature to help them through their A-level or GCSE English course and they need some extra motivation, as well as some help in appreciating the text at hand, it can be useful to hire a tutor for some one to one sessions. Their tutor can point them towards some of the best works in English literature to start with and guide them through the process of reading, enjoying and critical thinking. First Tutors has plenty of excellent tutors who can help your child in their journey through English literature. Why not browse our site for one near you?
How NOT to suck at language challenges
How NOT to suck at language challenges Olly Richards is an polyglot (he speaks 7 languages!) and runs a popular language learning blog called I Will Teach You a Language! This is a great post that he wrote which we hope will help you through the italki 2015 New Years Language Challenge. Reposted with permission. Original Post here. âLanguage challengesâ, you may have noticed, are cropping up all over the place! Typically lasting either 30 or 90 days, you come together with other learners from around the world to set goals, learn from each other and make giant strides forward in your language learning. Thatâs the theory at least. In language challenges, as with anything else, there is the potential to waste your time and even set yourself back. Get it right, though, and you can genuinely catapult your level in your target language into the stratosphere. In this post, Iâm going to draw on my experience in the first Add 1 Challenge(back in 2013) to show you exactly how to make a language challenge work for YOU. I know this, because in my first language challenge I made a lot of mistakesâ¦despite being a fairly experienced language learner. Suddenly finding yourself in a new environment can really throw you, even if it does happen to be online! I worked too hard, tried to outdo myself, took it all a bit too seriously⦠â¦and ended up burning out! Luckily I managed to turn it around, and wrote about how I did it in this post about learning Cantonese. I donât want this to happen to you, so read on⦠9 keys to success in a language challenge 1) Donât aim too high. Small steps forward in the right direction are infinitely better than shooting for an unachievable goal and burning out, or beating yourself up for not reaching it. âBe fluentâ is not a good goal. âHave my first 15-minute conversation with a native speakerâ is. Modest goals, by being achievable, create space for you to actually enjoy the learning process, and help you avoid the kind of stress that leads to you becoming demotivated and even giving up. 2) Donât do things that arenât sustainable in the long term. Sure, you could study for 3 hours every night during the challenge, but you wonât be able to keep it up for long. Rather than aiming to do as much as possible during the challenge, instead aim to develop habits and routines that you can sustain beyond the end of the challenge. This means focusing on approaches to studying that can fit around your lifestyle. Donât try to make your lifestyle fit around your language learning â" it wonât last long. 3) Donât set goals, but do know where youâre headed. Iâve found that traditional goal setting in language learning doesnât work for most people. Although this is counter-intuitive (goal setting is very powerful for most things) the reality is that you canât really control what you learn. You can, however, control the kinds of activities that might result in learning. By focussing on the process, and not worrying about the product, you will get much further along than if youâre constantly obsessing over âHave I learnt my 20 words for today?â I call this methodology Sprints, and have written a detailed explanation of it here. It has helped a lot of people move forward in their language learning and I highly recommend reading this post if you often find yourself confused about what to do. 4) Aim to experiment as much as possible. Itâs by trying new things that you will eventually find what really works for you. Iâve often found that one small discovery can change the way I learn languages altogether. This is yet another application of the 80/20 principle â" most things you do will make no difference whatsoever, so learn to set them aside and keep pursuing those that will. 5) Talk as much as possible with other people also involved in the challenge. Weâre social beings and shouldnât exist in bubbles. You are the average of the 5 people around you. Firstly, thereâs the moral support and motivation to carry on that you can get from other people. You can learn so much from what other people are trying, and you should always remember that it only takes one person to give you one idea that can change your direction totally. 6) Take the opportunity to push yourself outside your comfort zone.Try things that you wouldnât otherwise. Scared of booking that tutoring session on iTalki? Itâs now or never, and it certainly wonât get any easier once the challenge is over. 7) Announce what youâre doing to friends and family. Accountability is a big deal. In fact, telling people publicly that Iâm learning Arabic has been a huge motivating factor for me in those moments when Iâm less than up for it. I know, for example, that when I head to next yearâs Polyglot Gathering in Berlin Iâll be quizzed (in a nice way): âSo Olly, howâs your Arabic?â If I say that I havenât got very far with it, Iâll feel rather foolish! 8) Speak with native speakers more than you currently do. A lot more. Speaking is probably the one thing you donât do enough of, if your aim is ultimately to be fluent in your target language. Letâs be honest, if you did enough speaking you wouldnât need to join a language challenge. And this means that you need to go into the challenge understanding that the elephant in the room really is speaking youâre going to have to find ways to speak more, and services such as iTalki really are the best. If you havenât started speaking your target language regularly with people yet, it really is much easier and less daunting than you think, and Iâve written a guide to getting started which will help you with this. 9) Donât ever compare yourself with others. Itâs not about how good you get in 90 days. Donât fall into the trap of comparing yourself to other people or their level. Everyone is at different stages and will end up in different places. Thatâs fine. What matters is what you learn for yourself, and, ultimately, what you carry forward to the weeks and months after the challenge is over. As such, donât worry one bit about âhis Japanese is better than mineâ or âher accent is more convincing than mineâ â" it may well be, but it doesnât matter, because you should only worry about how far youâve come and what youâve learnt. Follow these guidelines and youâll be way ahead of the pack.

What is a Ligand in Chemistry?
What is a Ligand in Chemistry?As a chemist, you have to know what is land and what are the lands that will be used for all of your chemistry experiments. It is crucial that you know what this is because the discoveries you make will be crucial to your future as a chemist.A ligand is a chemical substance that binds to a ligand-type receptor on a cell. This receptor is in the endoplasmic reticulum. The land is not in the endoplasmic reticulum but in the membrane that surrounds it.This holds the cell together, preventing other molecules from getting through the cell to cause harm. The cell is always alive, which means that the ligand that binds to the receptor is in constant contact with the cell. Whenever a molecule gets through, the cell suffers damage and death. So, ligands work to hold the cell together by forcing it into something called an endocytosis process.An endocytosis process is when a land comes into contact with a cell. This causes it to bind to the cell membrane of the ce ll, where it attaches to the receptor. Once the land is in the membrane, the cell is said to be in the active state, and it can then go into a process called export or translocation.In an endosymbiotic transfer, the ligand and cell membranes are able to do one of two things. They can unbind to each other, causing them to separate, or they can unbind, allowing the land to enter the cytoplasm of the cell. Once in the cytoplasm, the ligand is able to attach to the receptor. Once it has attached, the cell becomes part of the organism.The ligand has the ability to act either as a poison and an aid to life. For the most part, the ligand in chemistry is either a free radical, a compound that does not react well with other compounds, or both. The free radicals are found mostly in the form of OH radicals, and the compound that does not react well with other molecules is found mostly in the form of carbonyls.It is important that you know what a free radical is, as it is one of the most damagi ng substances known to science. Many of the chemicals that we use every day can cause havoc with our health if they are exposed to too much of a compound, especially if it is more than one. In order to protect yourself from harmful molecules in your environment, it is necessary that you know what a ligand is.
A Student Experience at New York University
A Student Experience at New York University Liz earned her bachelors degree in dramatic writing from New York University. She specializes in English tutoring, creative writing tutoring, and many other subjects. If youre looking for a student perspective on New York University, read on! Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Liz: NYU is fantastic as far as transportation options. Don't even think about bringing a car here beyond move-in. It's crazy New York City traffic, and parking it will run an insane bill. Instead, everyone uses the network of subways and secondarily buses. You will mingle with the public on a daily basis like a real New Yorker (and quickly become one yourself). It's very walkable in the heart of the campus area, and there are free NYU buses for students who need to get to more remote locations like off-site dorms and the NYU Medical Center campus. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Liz: Everyone has office hours, and the teaching staff are generally very passionate about their fields so they are happy to meet with you and help you master whatever you're struggling with. If you have a problem with any staff, there is an open door policy for contacting the persons supervisor and discussing your issues. NYU is very student-focused, and they really listen. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Liz: Dining options are excellent. There are many dining halls, and most have salad bars as well as a variety of hot and cold items available every day. They cater to all special diets; no matter where you're from or what you're used to, you will find something to make you happy. There's even a kosher dining hall. Meal plans come in a wide range of configurations. When I attended, they had a refillable campus cash program that was linked to your student ID card, and the funds could be used at a bunch of local restaurants, delis, and grocery stores as well. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Liz: NYU is so vast and diverse that I cannot say there is one major that is best represented. I was enrolled at Tisch School of the Arts, which is probably most famous or popular for its film program. Second to that seems to be acting. Quite a few celebrities and celebritys kids attend Tisch. I studied dramatic writing where I was immersed in TV and film screenwriting and playwriting. As a concentration, I chose playwriting because I love what it is possible to create in real space and real time with live bodies and objects as much as the magic of live performance before (or sometimes with) an audience. I also participated in the WNYU, the college radio station all 4 years. This is now part of the music production program at Tisch, which was new as I was graduating but is well-regarded. It was great fun and a welcome break from my academics. I still have recordings of some broadcasts, including a live interview/performance session with a band. Through WNYU, I gained some very basic sound editing and production skills. The radio station offers internships and the opportunity to obtain paid management positions. 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? Liz: Greek life exists, but isnt big on campus.You will make friends through the people you live with, attend classes with, and participate in extracurricular with. I did make one of my best friends at a Tisch sponsored social my first week. We ditched the event and went to Nuyouican Poet's Caf instead. A good deal of socializing happens in the city, off campus. Given all the restaurants, museums, and concert venues at your fingertips, why wouldnt it? However, there are student campus clubs for every interest under the sun, from volleyball to more obscure ones like science fiction. How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services? Liz: I didn't make as much use of the Career Center as I could have, and frankly, my major wasn't terribly marketable. I do remember attending some good job fairs, and most students land enviable jobs or internships upon graduation. It's also a great jumping-off point for a graduate degree anywhere in the world. Their study abroad options span the globe. They are very accessible to those who keep their grades up, and they are both useful and fulfilling. My summer study abroad through NYU led to me obtaining my graduate degree abroad. The support services as far as student medical care are top-notch. NYUs response with making psychological services available to students was swift, all-encompassing, and admirable. All the teaching staff and Department Chairs were very open and supportive. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Liz: The library is massive and the librarians are knowledgeable and helpful. It is also a beautiful space with lots of cozy nooks. There are lots of 24-hour computer labs with wizards on staff. Lounges and recreational areas abound, and they are generally very comfortable and bright. They are a welcome relief from the busy streets. Describe the surrounding town. Liz: Music, festivals, lectures, underground film, high-end shopping, museums, and art supplies are all easily accessible. Everything you could ever dream of is available 24/7. The only downsides are watching your budget, choosing what to do, and a certain lack of unified campus life feeling. There are multiple campuses all throughout the city and mingled in with buildings that serve daily business and residential functions. NYU is a great place to be anonymous if you're into that. If you find your own niche, you can do that thing to the fullest. Make no mistake: while sports exist, this is not much of a sport-centered school. There isn't an everybody-goes-to-the-football-game-and-knows-the-team-by-name mentality or reality. You will not find much in the way of fraternity or sorority life, either. This school is ultra-metropolitan and more focused on intellect, culture, and arts. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Liz: The student body is unbelievably large. There is no way to know everyone in your school of focus, let alone your graduating class; mine was in the multi-thousands. The actual class sizes were reasonable and I was generally pleased with them. Even the big lectures had no more than about 50 - 80 students, and those had related seminars taught by graduate students where the group size was maybe 20. I felt that the class sizes were appropriate. I got very close with a bunch of people in my own department acrossgraduation years because the Department of Dramatic Writing is so small and we got into each other's projects very deeply. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Liz: I had a fabulous class on modern theater. We attended one performance per week. I got to see Avenue Q, Metamorphosis, and Top Dog/Underdog before they hit big and went to Broadway. We also saw a 3-person play that included Sir Patrick Stewart and Kyle McLaughlin in the cast. Frequently the creators of the pieces would stay after the show and speak to our class about their process. Whatever your field of study, at NYU you will be engaged in real-life, current, and relevant events. Check out Lizs tutoring profile.

However, make sure that there is an instructor who can make adjustments for you beforehand.Pilates at HomeLike yoga, Pilates is something you can practice by yourself at home.Although many Pilates exercises involve bulky, specialised equipment such as the Pilates reformer, it is also possible to complete a Pilates routine using your bodyweight alone to provide resistance â" all you need is a Pilates mat!Do Pilates anywhere - all you need is a mat! ¦ source: Pixabay - lograstudioSo, what kind of Pilates workouts can you do at home without an instructor?If youâre not an expert on Pilates, it can be helpful to seek advice before attempting to carry out your own Pilates session at home. Such advice can be sought from your Pilates teacher, the internet, or even Pilates apps that can guide you through a routine.The NHS website even has a 45-minute Pilates workout for complete beginners that you can follow!If youâre looking for information on speci fic movements to perform at home, here are two common Pilates exercises that you can do using exercise mats:Glute BridgeThis is a simple exercise which works on the buttocks.Start by laying on your back with your arms by your side with the palms of your hands on the ground. Bend your knees so that the soles of your feet are flat on the floor and hip-width apart. Next, push your pelvis up so that your back is straight and in-line with your thighs. Return to your original position in a controlled way, then repeat this movement for a total of fifteen reps.Side-Lying Hip AbductionThis exercise targets the inner hips and improves core strength. Since it is performed while laying on your side, it is perfectly safe for pregnant women to do!Begin laying on your side. Support your head with your hand, resting your elbow on the mat. Your shoulders should be in-line with each other so that your spine is straight. Keeping both legs straight and your body still, lift the top leg towards the ceil ing then slowly bring it back down. Repeat this on each side up to ten times.Pilates EquipmentMany people believe Pilates to simply be a more dynamic version of yoga, however, there is another major difference between the two exercise methods: equipment.Although both yoga and Pilates can be performed with or without equipment, there are several pieces of equipment which are essential to Pilates movements, whereas, in yoga near me, equipment is mainly used in order to make certain exercises easier or more effective.Here are two pieces of equipment you can expect to see in a Pilates studio:Pilates CadillacThis is a very large and very specific piece of apparatus which was designed by Joseph Pilates to help people exercise their bodies in a way that promotes whole-body health and wellness by allowing them to work almost every part of the body.The Cadillac is made up of several sections including a table for practising movements laying down and various attachments with springs to provid e resistance ¦ source: Visualhunt - danceintheskyPilates Resistance RingThe resistance ring, also known as the âmagic circleâ, is a far simpler piece of Pilates apparatus than the Pilates Cadillac.Just as it sounds, this piece of equipment is a ring which is designed to help people find their centre and provide resistance during movements to build strength.Although this is most often found in Pilates studios, its size and price mean that you can have one of your own at home, too.I found all this equipment and some great yogis at the studio of yoga near me!
