Are You a Tutor For Chemistry?

Are You a Tutor For Chemistry?Would you like to be a tutor for Chemistry? You may have the knack of learning and teaching, but how about trying your hand at teaching a class? I am a tutor for Chemistry. While there are several different types of tutoring for Chemistry, I am a tutor for Chemistry because that is what I do best, and I know a lot about the subject matter.Tutoring for Chemistry is somewhat similar to any other type of tutoring. You will need to meet with students, conduct research, provide information and answer questions, and discuss important topics in an informative manner. In order to be successful at all three of these duties, you will need to make sure that you come prepared for each assignment.You should also be very thorough in what you cover in your tutoring sessions. That means you will want to spend as much time as possible explaining concepts to your students, and making sure they understand everything that you say. A good way to do this is to include lots of videos, pictures, and demonstrations on your syllabus.Tutoring for Chemistry requires that you take pictures, videos, and explain things in the most concise manner possible. There is a certain level of responsibility that comes with being a tutor for Chemistry, and you should be willing to demonstrate that you can do just that. You will have a limited amount of classroom time, so you will want to take every opportunity that you get to interact with your students and help them learn. Students will be more likely to learn if they feel they are learning.Tutoring for Chemistry involves reading materials that are used in the classroom. You will need to have a thick wallet, because there will be numerous different types of textbooks that you will need to buy for various topics. You will need to know the name of the textbook you need to purchase, as well asthe name of the textbook that you can borrow from the library. Make sure that you can locate the books before the semester starts, and that you make copies of the book pages you need to study. That way you can return them if you ever get lost.One of the most important things to remember when tutoring for Chemistry is that you need to get your hands on the materials that are used in the class. You will not be able to just come in and start writing down things that you are going to teach your students. You will need to prepare lectures, show presentations, write notes, and participate in discussions. You need to be familiar with the materials that you will be using in class, and you need to prepare to bring those materials to class. However, you do not need to have the bookmarks.There are several different ways that you can be a tutor for Chemistry. Most colleges require that you take Physics and Chemistry classes, so if you have the proper credit for the courses you should be able to tutor both subjects. If you have taken Physics before and think that you would be good at teaching, consider pursuing a teaching degr ee. If you have taken Chemistry, and feel that you would like to become a tutor for Chemistry, you may wish to consider a Biology degree. The two fields of study are certainly not mutually exclusive, and you can definitely choose one or the other depending on your interests.Regardless of which tutoring methods you choose, you can be a tutor for chemistry. Just make sure that you start early in your career, and be patient and responsible when tutoring.

Hospital Tutoring Volunteer - Easy Steps To Apply

Hospital Tutoring Volunteer - Easy Steps To ApplyWith more than 70,000 students and their families, the hospital and academic programs of the University of Massachusetts Medical School is quite well known in the area. If you have an interest in the medical field or in health care, you can also be a part of that by working as a volunteer at the hospital's tutoring program. If you have the time, dedication and the willingness to learn, the university has plenty of options for you to choose from. From being a tutor on the floor to teaching math, the possibilities are endless.What is the first step when you apply for a hospital tutoring volunteer position? If you are a parent or grandparent, it is very important to apply with your family as the only applicant. This will guarantee you an interview if the hospital deems it necessary. But most of the time, hospitals prefer people who already have the commitment and enthusiasm to continue. So if you do not have children or are quite busy wit h your own plans, this may not be a good option for you.The next step is to apply for hospital tutoring volunteer positions. Since there are many ways to approach the hospital, it is best to start with the online application. They will usually send you a questionnaire that you must fill out. You should also give your contact information such as email, phone number and fax number. To apply for the hospital tutoring program, you must also fill out the application. You can find instructions in the website.After you apply for the hospital tutoring volunteer position, you will be sent a detailed letter of employment. Before beginning your job, you must make sure that you follow the rules and regulations of the program. This means you should tell all the details. This includes where and when you will be tutoring and what your work schedule will be. You will also need to supply references who you know who has previously taken the job. As long as they are involved in the hospital program, t hey should also be willing to share their experiences with you.A hospital can assign you at the time that suits you best. Some programs are open seven days a week so if you are the type of person who loves school, working at home and getting enough sleep, this may be the perfect fit for you. If you are willing to spend at least two hours at the hospital every day, then it would be better if you ask for an on-call day. You will have the option to request a certain number of assignments during the day and you can also adjust your time depending on the demands of the hospital. However, some hospitals allow some flexibility and some do not.If you are not happy with the program you have been assigned, you can always ask for another. Most programs are open to new members, so it does not matter what your previous experience was. You will also not have to worry about finding a job. After you finish your assignment, you can send them back for a recommendation. Once you are accepted, the job will be posted on the website. You will be sent an e-mail notification once your position is filled.Some hospitals will only hire certain types of volunteers. You can ask them if this is the case before you accept the offer. Also, you will be required to answer a few questions before you start your internship. This helps the hospital to determine your aptitude and to determine your potential. When you are accepted, you can expect a guaranteed four-week internship in order to learn the ropes in the hospital and learn to be a part of the hospital culture.

10 Unusual Easy Acoustic Guitar Songs for Beginners

10 Unusual Easy Acoustic Guitar Songs for Beginners Sign up successful My hope is that this list includes enough styles and techniques that you’ll be able to find something that you enjoy and something that is easy for you. Ventura Highway America This is a cool old song with great, simple harmonies and a fun lead lick, that’s a little more challenging. If you’re looking for an easy song to start with, you’ll want to focus on the chords first. You can get through the whole song using just two chords: Fmaj7 and Cmaj7. If you play the two chords as shown in the link below, the switch between them should be fairly easy. If you’re still having any difficulty, try keeping the first finger in the Fmaj7 chord down so that you’re playing the standard C chord shape. If you’re playing this along with the recording, you’ll want to capo at the 2nd fret, to make the chords Gmaj7 and Dmaj7 (played using the same shapes and fingerings). Get the chords:  Ventura Highway Bend the Bracket Chevelle A little heavier of a song, but still great. Originally played on an acoustic, Bend the Bracket uses almost exclusively power chords, which you can just slide around on the fifth string. One tricky bit of business is that Chevelle plays this on a guitar tuned down one half-step. If you’d rather not worry about retuning but still want to play with the CD, just move everything down one fret.  There are no open strings, so you won’t have to worry about that. The one thing that could become difficult with the wrong fingering is the intro. If you play the power chord on the fifth string at the seventh fret (or 6th if you’re moving down a fret), you can reach the sixth string at the eighth fret with your middle finger without having to lift the power chord. Get the chords: Bend the Bracket Heroin Velvet Underground Despite the length of this song, there are only two chords in it, and one can be played with only one hand. How’s that for easy? Similar to the song by Chevelle, Lou Reed also has his guitar tuned down a half step. If you already retuned for the last song, then don’t tune back up yet! If you can form a D chord with your left hand, you’re already well on your way to playing this entire song. Essentially, he bounces between a D chord in the usually formation and a G which can be played using the open 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings. Of course if you’re already comfortable with a six-string G chord, feel free to mix it in as you think sounds good. These chords are generally played whole and then picked with the notes separately while the left hand stays unmoved on the chord. The only other part to the song is the ending. Okay, I sort of lied when I said only two chords, but mostly only two chords. Besides, the chords at the end are played using the same D shape that you’ve already mastered, just slide up to the 7th and 9th frets. Get the chords: Heroin Bards Song Blind Guardian Metal you say? On an acoustic you say? Yes, and it can still be EPIC! Now, I may get some pushback on this being an “easy” song, but like I mentioned before; everyone has their own strengths. I’ve personally had students for whom this would be less difficult than previous songs on this list. That being said, if fingerpicking isn’t one of your strengths, use this as an easy introduction to improve! Get the chords: Bards Song Disarm Smashing Pumpkins This song  remains a favorite of mine. You may see versions of the chords of this song listed as G-Em-C-D. While you could play these chords along with the song with no trouble, it would lack some of the sound of the original, and, not to mention, be more difficult. So in the same vein of keeping it easy and sounding better anyway, let’s look at the real chords. G-Em7-Cadd9-Dsus. If those look more complicated, don’t worry. While they’re more complicated from a music theory standpoint, they allow us guitarists to keep two fingers down for the WHOLE SONG! Go ahead and plant your ring and pinky fingers on the 2nd and 1st strings at the 3rd fret. The rest of the chords can be formed as follows: Get the chords: Disarm Dumb (acoustic) Nirvana Another song that is all power chords, also known as 5th chords (A5 ). Like some others here, Kurt often played his guitar tuned down a half step. As with the Chevelle song, the power chords make it easy to play a fret lower if you’re in standard tuning. Get the chords:  Dumb One Less Addiction Embodyment This is a hauntingly beautiful song that I’m guessing many of you haven’t had the pleasure of hearing before. I’m guess that it’ll also be a breeze for most of you to play. The majority of the song just switches between these two chords in the seventh position. I like to keep my middle finger planted on the third string at the eighth fret as an anchor between these two chords. Get the chords: Embodyment Moorish Dance  Aaron  Shearer Another one will be really easy for the left hand, but if you have a hard time playing without a pick, it could be tricky. If you have trouble stretching for chords and getting all the notes to ring, this song will give your left hand a break. You’ll only need it for six, yes six, different notes. Beyond that, your right hand will alternate between playing the tune with the thumb and playing some higher accompanying notes with the index and/or middle fingers. Fun story: I was recently talking with a friend and fellow guitar teacher who had broken a bone in a right hand that connected his ring and pinky fingers to his wrist. He mentioned that some of his older students weren’t convinced he could still be a good teacher without all his fingers. He used Moorish Dance as his “show-off piece” to prove otherwise. Get the chords:  Moorish Dance Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Crosby, Stills Nash Technically speaking, this is actually a set of four songs, but they’re all played as a complete piece of music and they all use the same tricks to keep it easy on the fingers. This is one of the more complicated songs on this list, but that doesn’t mean it has to be hard! If you look at a bare and accurate chord chart of this song, you’d see a whole bunch of complicated looking chord symbols with ‘sus’s and numbers and slashes. While you’re all smart players and probably know what those mean, it’s still more information to process and send to our fingers. The key here, rather than dealing with all of these complicated and frequently difficult to change between chords, is to make sure you’ve got the tuning right. We’ve already covered songs in this list using an alternate tuning (Eb or half step down tuning), but this is a bit more radical. We’ll leave the highest two strings alone, so they’ll remain at E and B, going down from there, we’ll tune the 3rd string down to E, the 4th string **up** to E (always use caution when tuning higher than standard), and finally the 5th string down to E, to match the 6th string. If you’ve been keeping track, that leaves us with, from low to high, EEEEBE. From there, follow the tab, since your sense of where chords usually are will be totally out of whack. It’s a whole bunch of open and straight barre chords with a few little licks sliding down the first two strings. Get the chords:  Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Cruise Florida Georgia Line Were you worried there wouldn’t be any country on here? What good is an easy acoustic list without a little twang! Remember the chords from “Disarm”? Same deal here! If you prefer the sound on the Dsus chord, you can play a standard D shape, but keep that 3rd finger planted! The order is G-Dsus(or D)-Em7-Cadd9. Have fun! Get the chords:  Cruise Hopefully you found a few new things on this list, even just something you can enjoy listening to. With a list like this you’re bound to find a song that suits your strengths and weaknesses. If you haven’t, this list isn’t exhaustive, so don’t give up! A well versed guitar teacher is a great resource to find the right songs for you. You’ve got a knack for guitar (everyone does in one way or another) and you just have to figure out what it is. Once you get some traction with that, then go after your weaknesses! There’s no problem in your guitar playing that can’t be fixed. Post Author:  Kirk R.

4 Crucial Elements of Singing Every Great Vocalist Knows

4 Crucial Elements of Singing Every Great Vocalist Knows Sign up successful Practice Like the proverbial building constructed on sand, a weak foundation creates an unstable building that won’t stand the test of time. It’s very important for all of us as singers and musicians to have solid practice techniques in order to develop our instrument and make it a stronger one with every performance. A full, strong voice will have the stamina for a full capacity of creative expression when it comes to singing. A complete practice routine should include: Warm Ups Our vocal cords are like any other muscle in our body; they need to be warmed up before we can sing a song, the same way we need to warm up our legs before we can run a marathon. Warming up your voice with lip trills, runs on your middle range, single tone exercises, and breathing exercises are essential before you start any technical vocal work. Your voice will respond better once you give it the proper warm up. Consider your vocal warm up the way you tell your vocal cords that they are going to be doing some weight lifting! When I started taking voice lessons, I used to warm up my voice two to three times a day for about 10-20 minutes, depending on what songs I was working on and the technical work my voice teacher had laid out for me. Nowadays, I warm up my voice every morning, before seeing my students, for at least 30 minutes, then do some technical work, and so on. Technical Work With every lesson I teach, I work on breathing with my students. Strong breath management is the basis for learning how to sing well. You cannot sing the right note if your breathing is not in place. Its just impossible. I recommend dividing your technical work into stages: breathing exercises, flexibility, and range extension, for starters. And if you are tired or straining in any way, STOP! Take a break. Song Performance Start by choosing a couple of songs in a style that you like, and make sure that they are within your singing range. To find that out, look for the lowest and highest notes in the song. Most of the song should be within your middle range, although it is possible that it may have a few low or high notes outside your comfort zone in that case, work on those notes and see if with time they become easier for you. You can always transpose the song to a lower or higher key if that will make it easier for you to sing. Cool Down After all your hard work, spend about 5 to 10 minutes doing some warm up exercises to cool down your voice. To do this effectively, keep the exercises within the middle range of your voice. This will ease the process of your voice going back to your normal everyday vocal use by allowing the tissue temperature to lower. Check out the video below for more details: Patience Learning any instrument especially vocal technique requires patience, especially if there are any bad habits to undo. The payoff of being patient with your instrument while learning how to sing properly is that you will have a well-trained instrument capable of greater expression. Every now and then you may have what I like to call an aha! moment in singing, but most of the time progress comes after a long period of work that peaks and then plateaus for a while. As long as you keep working at it, you will always be growing and learning something new about your instrument. Perseverance You need to always stay focused on your goals as a singer. Something that has helped me with this is to keep a clear picture of where I am going and what it is that I want to accomplish. I always keep track of my short-term goals and how those are helping me reach my long term ones. I always celebrate my accomplishments and learn from my mistakes. If I have a performance that wasnt my best, I allow myself to take a break and see what happened and allow myself to feel what I am feeling, but I do not allow that to discourage me from reaching my goals. It’s a work in progress and its only getting better. Play Music, especially singing, should always be FUN! So don’t ever forget that. You should love and enjoy what you are singing. And you should enjoy it before, during, and after each and every performance! Be proud of yourself and your hard work. Celebrate your singing and every opportunity you get to share your talent!
