A Student Review of University of Miami

A Student Review of University of Miami The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teachtheyre sharing their college experiences as well. Michael earned his bachelors degree in psychology from University of Miami in 2012. He currently specializes in biology tutoring, algebra tutoring, and more. See what he had to share about his experience at University of Miami: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Michael: The University of Miami is located in a beautiful and affluent suburb fifteen minutes outside of Miami. The campus is extremely beautiful and very reminiscent of a tropical resort. It is very walkable, as it can take roughly fifteen minutes to walk from one end to the other. The university provides a shuttle that will take you around campus, as well as to local markets, malls, and other social venues. Freshmen are not allowed to bring a car to campus, but the majority of upperclassmen tend to have a car. The campus is very bike-friendly, and ZipCar is available for those who dont have a car but would like to rent one for the day. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Michael: Most classes at UM are fairly small, with the largest being around 120 students. Advising is integrated throughout your undergraduate experience at multiple levels, and students are given as much guidance as they desire. The university cares about ensuring students graduate on time, and there are many advisors to help you achieve your academic goals. Teaching assistants usually help with workshop sessions and laboratory segments of courses. They are usually graduate students at UM and are very approachable. How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students at University of Miami? Michael: The dorms are like most other college campuses, with a good mixture of single and double occupancy rooms. Upperclassman can live in beautiful on-campus apartments (ranging from a one bed, one bath to a four bed, four bath). There are many dining options available with convenient hours. Dorm life is what you make of it. Freshman year in the towers is a great social experience. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Michael: The College of Arts Sciences is probably the division of the university I am most familiar with. I was a psychology major and it was one of the largest departments at the university. The guidance, faculty, and support staff were phenomenal, and I still keep in touch with many to this day. I also took pre-med courses, and the university has a very comprehensive pre-health advising system to help students gain admission to highly competitive graduate fields in medicine. 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? Michael: Making friends is an integral part of the college experience. At UM, students come from all over the US and the world, making for a very diverse community. There is a strong sense of family amongst the students, and making friends that share interests in common with you is not hard. Greek life exists, although its not huge. Its there if you want it, and can open the doors to many life-long friendships and networking opportunities. How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services at University of Miami? Michael: The career center at UM is top-notch, and they will make individual appointments with you to help you with your resume, CV, and interviewing skills. They provide excellent career guidance and host many networking events and career fairs. Students at UM do very well finding postgraduate job placement. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Michael: If you havent seen pictures of the campus, you need to check them out online. Its beyond beautiful and many of these picturesque areas are devoted to academic studies. Overcrowding is never an issue, as UM is a relatively small university. Describe the surrounding town. Michael: Coral Gables is an affluent suburb of Miami that is exceptionally safe and beautiful. There are outdoor malls, concert venues, public parks, and waterfront dining all within a five-minute drive from campus. Downtown Miami and South Beach are only 15 minutes away via car, and there is a metro station right by the university. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Michael: I found the size of UM to be perfect. There are about 10,000 undergraduate students total. Typical class sizes were around 20 for me, with my largest being in introductory science classes (usually around 120 students). I never felt overwhelmed by the sizes of my classes. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Michael: I loved my academic experience at UM, and really fell in love with a course on abnormal psychology. The professor was outstanding and was really passionate about serving the community. The classes at UM are small enough to get to know your professors, which opens doors for many great networking opportunities. Check out Michaels tutoring profile.

What is The Cost of Chinese Lessons

What is The Cost of Chinese Lessons What Is the Price of Learning Chinese with a Tutor? ChaptersHow Much Do Chinese Lessons Cost on Superprof?How Much Does a Chinese Language Course Cost in the UK?How Can You Reduce the Price of Your Chinese Lessons?In 2012, some 40,000 Chinese immigrants came to Great Britain. They number between 300,000 and 500 000 currently living in England alone, from all walks of life.These numbers bring us to the heart of this article: with almost half-a-million native Chinese with Mandarin or Cantonese as their first language living in Britain, there is no lack of competent teachers for this supposedly difficult language.Whether it be for cultural or professional reasons, learning a second language is always beneficial: not only does it look good on your C.V., it also improves your cognitive capabilities.Yet once you decide to find a Chinese teacher, several questions are sure to come up:How many hours of lessons does it take to become fluent in Chinese?How much does a Chinese language course cost?How can I get the best value for my money?Since we are almost all of us forced to act the part of homo-economicus, comparing the costs of services to their benefits, we feel impelled to do the same for language classes: what type of Chinese lessons cost the most and which are the easiest?Generally, private tutor fees in Britain run between £ 25 to 30 per hour on average. There are gaps between the big cities and smaller towns and depending on the level of tuition (academic/university level is on average about £ 10 more expensive).But what about Chinese classes on Superprof?Oxford University offers 20 two-hour Chinese lessons for £340 ( £8.50 per hour) with follow-up courses for each level (10 classes for £185 - £9.25 per hour).Chinese language schools often have cheaper hourly rates that private Mandarin tutors.Photo by Nick Kenrick. on VisualHunt.com / CC BY-NC-SAAs you can see, Mandarin courses in language centres often cost less than private tutors, who average about £ 25-30 per hour - though you can find some on Superpr of who go as low as £8 (Leicestershire) or even £6 an hour (West Yorkshire).Professors at a language institute are not less experienced - in fact, they are garanteed a certain amount of classes in a term and may be more used to teaching than some private tutors. They are often native speakers or else certified teachers with a university diploma or a teacher’s certificate.So what’s the catch?These are group classes: taking Chinese lessons in a group will have the advantage of putting you among like-minded students, but will generally mean you will not progress as fast as with a private Chinese teacher who acts as a sort of personal coach, adapting his lessons to your individual strengths and weaknesses.With Superprof’s help, you will be able to choose for yourself what aspects you want to concentrate on - Chinese characters, Mandarin grammar, vocabulary, conversation - and might be more ready to ask questions than in a group situation.Discover these tools to help you learn Ch inese quickly...How Can You Reduce the Price of Your Chinese Lessons?Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), American writer and poet, once said: “Money often costs too much.”How can you learn a foreign language if your budget is already completely tied up with necessities? Is it possible to reduce the cost of a Chinese class?A private Mandarin or Cantonese teacher tutoring you at home for 2 hours a week will cost you about £160 per month (with lessons in the middle range at £20 per lesson, 8 hours a month).But there are ways to do it cheaper:Contact a native speaking Chinese student or a student who is bilingual English-Chinese, or else someone without a diplomaLearn Chinese online - some sites and apps offer free online Mandarin coursesLessons via Skype or other webcam applications cost less than live lessonsA lot of Chinese or Taiwanese students offer their services to Brits wanting to learn their language.Since they haven’t graduated, probably aren’t studying language teachin g methods and don’t teach through a language institute, they usually don’t ask as much for Chinese lessons.However, they can still teach you to read Chinese and write Chinese characters, and are definitely your best choice for conversational Mandarin as it is really spoken - and are a goldmine for discovering Chinese culture.Save on travel expense by taking online Chinese courses via Skype or other webcam options.Photo by Internet Archive Book Images on Visual hunt / No known copyright restrictionsThanks to web 2.0, all you need is a webcam and an Internet connection to find the cheapest available Superprof to teach you Chinese.Maybe you think the best way to learn Chinese is online via webcam - no transportation costs, no fixed hours!A must for cost-effective Chinese classes.Try language immersion trips to consolidate your vocabulary.Photo by See-ming Lee ??? SML on Visualhunt / CC BY-NCA last option might be to take a language immersion trip to China - flying to China and taki ng Mandarin lessons there is sometimes cheaper than taking a Chinese course in Britain.Cost of living and language classes will be cheaper than in the UK - and a trip to China will force you to really use your vocabulary and learn Chinese faster.To prepare your trip to China, try out the EF and studyabroad and go off to study in China!Discover also the best way to learn Chinese...

A Day in the Life at Florida State University

A Day in the Life at Florida State University Kai earned her bachelors degree in English from Florida State University. As a tutor, she specializes in English tutoring, writing tutoring, and many other subjects. Read on to learn about her time at Florida State University. Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Kai: Florida State University has a beautiful campus. There are lovely brick buildings and beautiful scenery, including old oak trees and well maintained vegetation. It is quite a large campus, but transportation was extremely easy with the many bus routes across the campus. There were also bus routes for students who lived off campus so they could have a ride home. Many students did have bikes and cars, but finding parking often took more time than was ideal despite the many parking garages. Safety was never an issue on campus, because there were safety poles everywhere where you could press a button that would alert campus security. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Kai: Professors and teaching assistants were always available, whether through email or office hours. Many professors had office hours every day. Academic advisers were also easily available, as long as you didnt wait until it was time for scheduling. Thats when the wait times were the worst. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Kai: I would definitely recommend dorm life for your freshman year of college. Its an easy way to make friends. I am still close with the friends I made in the dorms six years later. Living in a dorm also makes it easier to get to class on time, because you do not have to worry about transportation. The dining halls were also great because of how close they were to the dorm rooms. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Kai: I feel as though all of the majors/programs were equally represented and supported. I studied English because it was my passion, and I thought it would give me the most flexibility when it came to finding a job once I graduated. There were three advisers for the English department, so I felt extremely supported. The professors were also extremely helpful, even outside of the classroom. 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? Kai: Greek life does play an extremely significant role at Florida State University. I believe 70% of the students were involved in it. (The percentage may even be higher, but Im not sure of the exact statistic.) I started my first semester in a sorority, but decided it was not for me. Im not the most outgoing person, so I found it hard to enjoy the many social events that they participated in. I did make a few close friends during my few months in it, and its also how I met my first boyfriend in college. He actually introduced me to my best friend, who was not a part of Greek life, and I decided I would rather hang out with him and his friends than my sisters at the time. Once I quit, it was easy to make friends because I always had my wingman with me. I also had friends from high school who went to Florida State University with me, so going out with them made it easier to make new friends as well. College is the time to branch out and try new things, and making new friends is defin itely a part of that. How helpful are the Career Centerand other student support services? Kai: The career center was extremely helpful for me as a freshman. I started college as a biology major, and quickly learned that that was not meant for me. The career center helped me find my passion, and encouraged me to follow my heart, which was always set in English. Another service I took advantage of was the counseling center. The counselors gave me the help that my friends couldnt provide. The health center was also a great resource, helping from the common cold to just your normal checkup. There were several events where different graduate schools would come to campus to help students who werent sure of what they wanted to do once they graduated. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Kai: I spent many hours at the library during my years at college, especially during finals week. That was when the library was the most crowded, but you could usually find a table on one of the many floors. There were also study rooms that you could rent out for an hour at a time, in case you wanted to study with a group. The student union was also a popular area, because there were many food establishments located there. It was an easy place to meet with friends. Describe the surrounding town. Kai: Typically, students would stay near campus, because basically everything you needed was there. There were many fun places that were walking distance from campus. There was always something going on around campus. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Kai: Florida State University had a huge student body. The general classes that were required for every major were typically held in lecture halls, which were quite crowded. The same goes for electives. When it came to classes specific to my English major, the classes were small and personal. I was very pleased with my class sizes, including the large lecture halls. There was a nice balance between large and small classes. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Kai: One experience that I will never forget was when I was sitting outside one of my teachers offices, waiting to speak with her about an assignment. All of the English professors had offices in the same building, so a professor I had a few semesters back walked past me while I was waiting. He was probably in his seventies, so I didnt expect him to remember me, but I said hello anyway. He taught me in one of my writing workshop classes, where he would read our pieces and give us one-on-one feedback. It was one of my favorite classes. He walked by and I smiled and said, Hey! You probably dont remember me, but I had you a few semesters ago. He looked at me and said, I dont remember your name, but I remember the story you were working on and proceeded to recite specific details from the short story he had edited for me. To me, that was even better than him remembering my name. It gave me the motivation and reassurance that I had picked the right major, and that I could possibly succeed as a writer. That was my best day at Florida State University, and one I will never forget. Check out Kais tutoring profile.

4 Advantages of Subscribing to Online Tutoring

4 Advantages of Subscribing to Online Tutoring 0SHARESShare Online Tutoring is a boon for most people who are not very comfortable in traditional classrooms. Everyone knows that classrooms develop a pattern and teachers tend to focus on the top ten most extrovert students of the class. The rest of the class is virtually ignored by the teacher. The first advantage of online tutoring lies in the one on one positive interaction between your tutor and you. This is made possible by the time slot you have chosen for your online classes. It is prudent to select your online tutor carefully by interacting with many of them on various websites. Once you have selected your tutor perhaps through a trial period you have someone to help you permanently with your academic problems. This is unlike at school where for some reason or other you do not get heard. The second advantage of online tutoring lies in the choice of subjects for learning. You can learn a foreign language; get math help or even assistance in completing your research paper for a PhD. The list of subjects that you can get assistance for is endless. The list includes Geography, History, Botany, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Anthropology, Archaeology, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and many other school and college subjects. The third advantage of online tutoring lies in homework help. Most students begin to straggle in class because they are unable to do their homework assignment s leading to a vicious circle of inability to learn. The online tutor works like a magician and spends valuable and unlimited time with you to enable you to understand and then finish your homework assignments. The fourth advantage of online tutoring exists in the knowledge resources you are able to access once you log in to the tutoring site. The online school has a vast electronic library of audio and video files. There are also millions of text files. You can search these relevant files to advance your learning in your free time. Online tutoring is the modern way to succeed in school and college. [starbox id=admin]

SAT vs. ACT - which test should you take

SAT vs. ACT - which test should you take One of the most common questions I get from my students is whether they should take the SAT or the ACT.   Frankly, the answer to that question depends on each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and personal preferences.Back in the day, the tests were mostly regional: students on the coasts took the SAT, and those in the middle of the country took the ACT.   Now, though, students all over the country often take both tests.   Colleges accept both the SAT and ACT, so it makes sense for students to try both tests and see which one yields a higher score.There are several major differences between the SAT and the ACT:1) The SAT is more focused on complex problem-solving and critical thinking, and the ACT is more straightforward.   Generaly speaking, students who enjoy solving puzzles and reasoning through complex situations will prefer the style of the SAT.   The ACT is better for students who appreciate straightforward questions, both in math and reading comprehension.2) The ACT has a sci ence section, and the SAT does not.   Now, before you write off the ACT, thinking youve forgotten everything from science class, take heart ACT science is more like reading comprehension with charts and graphs.   Its not an easy section, but you dont need outside science knowledge to get a good score.3) The ACT is faster-paced than the SAT.   Most students feel time pressure on the ACT, especially on the reading comprehension and science sections.   Both sections have 40 questions to complete in 35 minutes.   Timing practice is essential to doing well on the ACT.4) Theres no guessing penalty on the ACT.   The dreaded guessing penalty on the SATmost of my students strongly dislike being penalized for wrong answers.   This doesnt happen on the ACT you just dont get credit for the question.   If the guessing penalty really stresses you out, you might prefer the ACT.5) There are no vocabulary questions on the ACT.   The ACT doesnt have sentence completion vocabulary questions like the SAT does.   If vocab is a big problem for you, you might like the ACT better.   On the other hand, if you have a great vocabulary, this could boost your score on the SAT.6) ACT math covers more trigonometry than SAT math does.   ACT math questions (especially the harder ones) will use basic trig concepts like SOHCAHTOA.   Make sure you understand this concept before taking the ACT.For all the differences between the SAT and ACT, most students end up scoring similarly on both tests. However, some students do much better on one test, which is why we recommend that all students take a practice SAT and ACT and compare the results.   Wed be happy to give you those tests and help you analyze your scores just get in touch with one of our directors at info@ajtutoring.com!

Three Reasons You Need a LSAT Prep Class or Private Tutor

Three Reasons You Need a LSAT Prep Class or Private Tutor LSAT Law School Blog The LSAT bills itself as a test that does not require preparation. Technically, they’re correct. You don’t need to memorize math formulas or vocabulary words. The questions ask you to reason answers based on the information provided. However, taking a prep course improved my score nearly 10 percentage points over the first time I took the test without a prep course. You can see why I’m convinced that preparation helps, from those who know the test. Here’s why: 1. Nearly everyone else gets help â€" If you’re striving for a competitive school, nearly every one else will be taking at least one prep class, if not more, and working with tutors.One of the biggest advantages of working with someone who knows the test is confidence when approaching the day. You know what to expect. You have a strategy for each section, and a strategy for the whole day. You know what to do if you’re running out of time. 2. There are patterns to be learned - You don’t have to pay for the hideously expensive Kaplan, and you don’t have to stop working. I found a course atSan FranciscoState that ran four Saturdays while I worked full-time. Others like to choose private tutors to work on their weak areas or learn specific techniques. Do find a teacher who has studied the LSATs. No one can predict the exact questions. But, e.g., in analytical reasoning, there are certain types of games that will be repeated. In reading comprehension, there are certain tricks the testers like to use. Certain kinds of logic questions reappear. You benefit from “insider’s knowledge” about test procedures. 3. Techniques for each section â€" Problem solving techniques are hard to teach yourself. This is where specialized classes and tutors excel. They have sophisticated techniques to solve the questions in each section, and they will help you develop a sub-strategy to approach each section. If you can’t/don’t want to pay for private help, the single best way to prepare is to order the official old LSAT tests. Get at least four. You want to study the types of questions with some. You want to time yourself with others. With at least one, you want to take the full test under timed conditions exactly like test day. Your goal should be to go into test day with a comfort level with that exam booklet.
