Pricing For Kumon Preschool Tutoring

Pricing For Kumon Preschool TutoringThe effectiveness of pricing for human preschool tutoring depends on the state you are in. The most common pricing model that is used is the fixed price or percentage based model.Fixed-price models are used when a single large, and established company holds all of the inventory. These companies are the same companies who sell formula for nannies, babysitters, daycare providers, childcare centers, and other similar products. In the fixed-price model, one party does the selling and the other party to pay the fee based on the agreed upon pricing of the product.In a fixed-price model, the price of a product is fixed, which makes it easier to set the maximum price a parent can pay. The service is offered at no extra cost. If a parent is uncomfortable with having the service of a child tutor service charged at no extra cost, then he or she may choose to find another, less expensive service.On the other hand, with percentage based pricing, a parent who pa ys the flat fee will not have to worry about a percentage of the total fees that are paid by each student who will be using the service. Some models use percentages and others don't.The difference between a fixed price and a percentage based model is that a fixed-price model puts the onus on the tutor to set the price based on his or her perception of the situation. The flat fee model places more of an onus on the parents to set a price that they feel is fair.In a fixed-price model, a small percentage of the parents will end up paying more than others. The overall price of a fixed-price model is based on the very high percentage of the parents who choose to have the tutor for their child.Pricing for human preschool tutoring is different from state to state. Consult your local education authority and the department of child services to find out what is in your area.

Boston University A Student Interview

Boston University A Student Interview Mano earned his bachelors degree in international relations from Boston University. He specializes in French tutoring, SAT tutoring, and a number of other subjects. Below, he shares his experience at Boston University: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Mano: Boston University is a prime example of an urban college campus. On its outskirts, you can find the Charles River, The Red Soxs Fenway Park, Kenmore Square, and Allston. Its a very safe campus with a prime location in an iconic city; the BU Police Department works diligently with the Boston Police to ensure the safety of students, faculty, staff, and everyone on campus. The tramway runs through the middle of Boston University and is easily accessiblethough the schedule varies and slows down in the winter months. I wouldnt say one would need a car in Boston or while attending BU, as public transportation is easily accessible. In addition, BU has its own shuttle that runs through campus from one end to the other, free of charge. Bikes are also very useful for students living off-campus and can easily be parked anywherejust be careful for cars on Commonwealth Avenue. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Mano: As you progress throughyour academic years, classes start to decrease in size and you can easily get to know your professors and teaching assistants. In my experience, BU professors have gone out of their way to set up flexible office hours with their students, even increasing their presence on campus prior to finals weeks. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Mano: Living arrangements are not the best during the first two years of college at BU; though, they do get better when you become a junior and senior. In dormitory-style housing, students have to leave their dorms during the holidays and breaks, which is a hassle for someone living very far away from home. On campus apartment-style options are better than dormitories, but still expensive compared to off-campus housing. Though many might disagree with me, the quality of food at the universitys dining halls was not the best compared to other schools, despite the many options offered to students. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Mano: I studied international relations at Boston University. Its one of the most prominent departments at the university. I was fortunate to study and practice what I was learning in the classroom during a semester internship abroad in Geneva, Switzerland. Other well represented majors and programs include the School of Management, the School of Engineering, economics, and human physiology/pre-med. VT: 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? Mano: Making friends at BU is very easy. Make sure to meet as many people as possible during the first few weeks of freshman year at orientation, activities, and club meetings. Some might end up being your friends for the entirety of your college life. Another great way to make close friends at the university is to build connections and friendships during your semester abroad, which was my case. Greek life isnt a major facet of student life at BU, but those who choose to join fraternities and sororities end up enjoying their experiences. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services? Mano: Many companies and alums recruit BU students. The emphasis is mainly on students majoring in business, engineering, and computer science. Liberal arts majors usually have the challenge of finding employment on their own; however, the Career Center provides resources and services to update and tailor resumes and cover letters to help students find internships or entry level jobs. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Mano: The university has a great number of libraries and study lounges spread all around campus. Its main library, Mugar, gets very crowded during midterms and finals season. This is why many go to smaller libraries and lounges in dorms for quiet study rooms. VT: Describe the surrounding town. Mano: Boston University is located in the heart of the city of Boston and just across the river from Cambridge, MA. The city is yours to explore, especially with the availability of the subway, tramway, and buses running around town. Boston is a cultural hub, as it harbors a variety of museums, concert venues, shopping districts, restaurants, and sports venues. The downtown area is 10-20 minutes away from BU, and students usually go out from Thursday to Sunday nights. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Mano: BU has around 16,000 undergraduate students. You are bound to take large classes your first two years, with around 200 students in each. But, as you become an upperclassman, class sizes start to shrink and you get to better know your professors and peersespecially during seminar-style advanced courses. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Mano: My best experience was with professor Abigail Jacobson who was visiting from the MIT history department. Her class on the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict led toan opportunity to assist her in research on her project on the relations between Middle Eastern Jews and Arabs prior to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. I eventually decided to pursue opportunities in foreign policy research in several think tanks as a result. Check out Manos tutoring profile.

Using Your Universitys Career Center In Your Internship Search

Using Your University's Career Center In Your Internship Search Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/road-sign-town-sign-success-career-798176/ Most university career centers offer the same services: (1) writing a cover letter, (2) writing/editing your resume, (3) asking for letters of recommendation, (4) interview practice, (5) putting together a portfolio, (6) how to start your job/internship search, and much more. In order for these services to be useful to you (in my opinion), you need to make a few appointments with a couple of different career counselors and student volunteers to make sure you find someone who you connect with. Yes, it’s helpful to just make an appointment in general, but if you continue going to the same person he/she will already know what you are looking for in an internship and there will be no need for introductions that ultimately just take up valuable time that could be spent on finding an internship. Go through all of the steps with your career counselor… by this, I mean use all of the services offered to you. In order for your trips to the career center to be effective, you need to come prepared as well. Your counselor cannot and will not do all of the work for you… this is your internship and your future, you need to remain accountable. If you want to work on your resume and/or cover letter, make sure you have a rough draft. If you are ready to hit “Apply” to an internship, make sure you have your computer charged and ready for your career counselor to check over it. If you are prepping for an interview, come in your potential interview outfit and a list of questions that you researched that are asked by the particular company. Your appointments with the career center will only work if you put in the time and effort. Think of it this way, your career counselor has no stake in whether or not you land an internship, only you do. Therefore, you will need to go the extra mile. I know that may sound harsh, but tough love is the best kind of love when it comes to internship search time. Starting early in the year to search for an internship is step #1 in preparedness. Make appointments ahead of time and begin networking and researching before your very first appointment. Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/bulletin-board-stickies-post-it-3127287/ Last, but certainly not least, remember that the career center is there to help students, like you. If you are afraid of asking a company or friends a silly question about your internship research, then ask your career counselor the question. He/she is there to help and he/she has definitely heard a lot worse. You want to go into this process confident and excited, and that can only happen if all of your questions are answered. If you don’t know what to ask, here are some great questions to ask your career center: Is this a nice format/template for my resume and cover letter? Is it professional? Is this a good outfit for an interview at a company that dresses business-formal? What are some good places to find internship listings? How can I differentiate a real internship from a scam on the internet? How can I personalize a different cover letter for each of the places I apply to? What information should I definitely include? How far back can I go when noting my experiences on my resume? Is it okay if I have an experience from high school on there? What are some major questions that are asked in most interviews? Are websites, like Glass Door, useful? What are the pros and cons of an unpaid internship? Ask your questions, go prepared, and start the process early. Keep organized and stay on top of your internship search. I have no doubt that all of you will land the internship of your dreams. One last piece of advice from me… keep an open mind and apply to a bunch of different types of internships! Good luck!

A Guide to Evaluating Your Effort In School

A Guide to Evaluating Your Effort In School At some point in many students' schooling grades may begin to fall. Courses that used to be fairly easy may transform to challenging as the material moves on to more difficult concepts. If you were an eager student who loved to push yourself to try new things the thrill of academics may have paled as you entered adolescence and social pressure begun to mount. Maybe school has always been hard and you are not sure why. As you enter or begin to prepare for university you may be struggling with some doubts as to your ability to make the cut. Before you decide higher education is not for you or that you should consider lowering your standards and expectations invest some time into investigating whether you are working to your potential. You need to evaluate how much effort you are truly putting forth in school before you can decide upon future plans. Work With An Adult Talk with a trusted adult about your concerns. If you have a good current relationship with your parents or at least one of them start there. If you are not able to rely upon a parent now might be the time to contact your school's counselling office or a teacher who you have a cordial relationship with. Gather Facts Sit down with your mentor and take a hard look at your current courses. Review your grades first. If you are really disappointed with them be honest with yourself. Are you current with assignments? Have you missed tests or failed to turn in projects? How is your attendance? Are you taking the types of courses you need to apply to the post-secondary options that interest you? Do you have enough time to get all the courses in if you are not on track? Your school's counselling office exists in part to answer these questions and to help you plan to ensure what you need as far as grades and courses begin to fall into place. Are Your Grades In Alignment With Your Established Ability? Consult with your tutor or a trusted teacher about the correlation between standardised tests administered over the school years and your current school performance. Is there a disconnect? Is your current situation because you are not working hard enough or because you have always struggled with these subjects? Investigate whether there are any other assessments that might shed light on what is interfering with classroom success. Perhaps there is a learning disability or thought processing barrier that can be addressed. Do You Need Assistance With Planning? Buy a daily planner and use to map out a study structure. List all courses and all the tests and deadlines you have. Work again with your trusted adult to see if your plan seems reasonable. Are you attempting too much? Or is the real problem that you are not attending to your classwork as you should? Boredom Or Depression? Is it possible you are not succeeding because you are not challenging yourself enough? Perhaps the answer is more rigorous, interesting courses. Are there things in your life bothering you, getting in the way of attending to your studies? If so, you may want to talk with a mental health professional. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/surviving-your-childs-adolescence/201405/parenting-adolescents-who-cant-work-hard-enough

PayPal Sandbox Express Checkout API Handshake Failure

PayPal Sandbox Express Checkout API Handshake Failure At TutorZ we use PayPal as our credit card processor. This means that TutorZ collects credit card information from our tutors and passes them on to PayPal through their REST Express Checkout API. As a part of the security concerns over advances in computing power, the industry is phasing out 1024-bit SSL certificates (G2) in favor of 2048-bit certificates (G5), and is moving towards a higher strength data encryption algorithm to secure data transmission, SHA-2 (256) over the older SHA-1 algorithm standard. The problem TutorZ ran into was the PayPals sandbox was responding with the infamous SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure. This indicated that TutorZ SSL certificates were not up to the higher 2048 standards or our cURL/OpenSSL libraries were out of date. First, I tried to chain VeriSigns G5 certificate into TutorZ certificate store but this didnt help. Next, I called GoDaddy TutorZ certificate vendor. The rep at GoDadday (with Indian voice, smart and friendly) ensured me that TutorZ current certificates, albeit G2, are up to the industry standard of 2048 bit. It was short and productive talk. Good customer service, you GoDaddy guys. But if it not the TutorZ SSL certificats which are the problem of the PayPal interface error then what is it? A call to PayPal might help or so I thought. First, finding the number to call on PayPals website is a task in itself. After logging into my PayPal account and searching, I found the call PayPal page. The number published there is: 1-888-221-1161 with their service hours 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM CST Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM CST Saturday and Sunday They even provide a one-time pass code with the call. But when calling 1-888-221-1161, a message said you have reached a non-working number. Bad stuff, PayPal guys. Without being able to resolve the problem of PayPals REST API I put a temporary work-around into the the TutorZ code. But long term, the solution is to find a better credit card process. In summary, GoDaddy hey, PayPal Nay.

Healing Bell Move Tutor by Melissa Burden

Healing Bell Move Tutor by Melissa BurdenHealing Bell Move Tutor by Melissa Burden is a step-by-step guide to help anyone with an Ayurvedic practice understand the concepts of this book. It explains the physical, mental and emotional factors that need to be considered before embarking on a practice. It also explains the relationship between the Ayurvedic health practices and the body in order to assist in Ayurvedic medicine being used to treat problems associated with the physical, mental and emotional systems.The Body: The Ayurvedic health system is about maintaining balance, which is maintained through the dietary, detoxification and other methods. One of the fundamental principles is, 'Belly is best.' This is the area of the body where toxins can build up. Cleanse out the 'belly' to remove toxins from the blood stream. This part of the body is broken down, refined and purified, and after cleansing the toxins are removed from the system, the 'belly' needs to be re-built.Mental and Emotional: A balanced mind, supported by an improved body will keep a person mentally and emotionally fit. This is where the focus should be when working with a relaxation technique. Meditation and other types of grounding practices should be used in conjunction with proper diet and daily exercise. Meditation helps get rid of the negative emotions and helps to clear the mind of all other thought forms.The technique of belly cleaning involves one of the following three methods. The first is that the method of cleansing the 'belly' is an internal approach to an Ayurvedic practice that works from within the body. The second is the three-stage approach that looks at a treatment as starting with the stomach and slowly working up to the heart and then the soul.Auricular: This means 'across the auricle.' This is a term used to describe the part of the human body that extends over the upper chest. This area of the body is broken down, refined and purified, and afterwards cleansed to return it to its original beauty.Yoga: Yoga is an energetic art that works to enhance the physical energy of the human body. During an exercise routine, the yogi will focus on the auricular part of the body by focusing on muscle building, breathing and physical activities. Yoga can be used to break the barriers between the physical and the mental and emotional and help improve the health and well being of a person.Healing Bell Move Tutor by Melissa Burden has been written by a master instructor of holistic medicine. It will teach readers how to work with the mind, body and spirit in order to achieve balance and health through the practice of Ayurveda.
