Earning Potential In A Job As An Economics Tutor
Earning Potential In A Job As An Economics TutorThe first thing that comes to mind when people hear the term Economics Tutor Singapore is whether it is possible to get a job in the industry of teaching Economics in Singapore. In Singapore it is actually possible and there are many universities and institutes that offer this type of program. However, you have to be able to pass an entrance exam, get a good grade on your GMAT or even a GPA to be accepted.Tutors teaching in the field of Economics are in demand all over the world. A tutor from the university of your choice can teach Economics at the undergraduate level, or even the MBA level. There are even tutors who can teach at the higher levels in a part-time basis or as a full time employee. Most tutors are hired by government organizations or private institutions.One of the major factors that you have to consider when looking for a job in this industry is whether you can speak English fluently. Some people who have been to a univer sity in the US may still not be able to communicate their ideas in English, but with the growing number of overseas universities, you would be surprised how many people are able to learn and converse in English. Whether you are applying online or through a classified ad, the first thing that is important is your standardized test scores. People who score low on these exams will be turned down very easily.Tutors are hired on a contract basis and usually do not have a fixed salary. Theoretically speaking, there are no regulations that cover the amount that a tutor should get paid. The only requirement is that you are capable of communicating and working with students and giving them a certain level of education. Tutors teaching in Economics in Singapore need to possess both of these qualities. There are many ways that you can qualify for this profession.If you can write well, you can use your exam grades to get more jobs. There are some companies that hire tutors for that reason. If y ou are good at reading and writing and are good at asking questions, then you can work as a freelance tutor. Many companies hire tutors for that purpose and even sometimes they use their services as their own employment.Tutors teaching in Economics in Singapore can also benefit from their experience and skills if they have been studying in other countries. This is also a way to learn and hone your talents. In general, it is believed that an American student learning in India or a British student studying in Hong Kong are better tutors than someone who studies in Singapore.Another way that you can improve your chances of getting hired is to know the salary requirements for the type of position you are applying for. In this market, the average salary is around $200 to $300 per month. However, most employers offer higher salaries in order to attract top talent. So if you think that the salary you are offered is not adequate, then it would be best to apply for a position that has a high er salary.

Inspirational Quotes and Sayings ~ Seneca, about Gratitude
Inspirational Quotes and Sayings ~ Seneca, about Gratitude Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart. Lucius Annaeus Seneca, known as Seneca or Seneca the Younger (c.4 BC 65 AD), Roman philosopher, tragedian, statesman, orator, tutor and advisor of emperor Nero. Seneca was one of Romes leading intellectual figures. For several years between 54 and 62, during the first phase of the emperor Neroâs reign, Seneca had strong influence on the young emperor and was virtual ruler of the Roman world. However, he lost influence and favor with his former student over time. In 62 AD Seneca withdrew from public life and devoted his time to philosophy and writing. During this time he wrote some of his best philosophical works, including the Letters to Lucilius. In 65 AD Seneca was accused of being involved with the Pisonian conspiracy against Nero and was forced to commit suicide.

4 Ways to Cope With Stress
4 Ways to Cope With Stress imgrum.com 1. Yoga Ive already written an article dedicated to yoga, but I briefly want to reiterate how amazing yoga is for the body and for the mind. Sadly, my schools yoga instructor (who is also a professor at the college), does her yoga class at a time that I am not available, but that does not stop me from rolling out my yoga mat once in a while before bed after I get off work. Just taking the time to only breathe and stretch really slows down the time when it feels like you dont have enough hours in a day. It will clear your mind and it can even help you be more creative. Even if you only spend 15 minutes a week, its more time than not doing it at all. 2. Taking a hot bath My moms remedy for everything when I was younger was to either take some Ibuprofen or take a bath. I really enjoy taking baths now as an adult, especially with bath salts, bath fizzers, or even bath crayons. It really is relaxing to get the chance to draw on the walls, especially since it isnt something that you are supposed to do. Even if I just sit in a bath with shampoo bubbles, I can still somehow end up staying in the tub with a good book or some Netflix on my phone for an hour and a half. pexels.com 3. Patience As Im getting closer and closer to being able to rent this house, my mom keeps reminding me to only look at the next step. Dont look ahead, and only think of the next thing or two to do. I apply this strategy to a lot of little things, like homework and what I need to do at my serving job for that shift that day. Being patient about things will really slow down the time, and will even be rewarding later on. Patience has been a word that I have been thinking a lot about in February, and its been helpful so far. 4. Become a better planner Instead of ignoring your stresses with yoga or a hot bath, manage stress the same way you would manage your meals or how you spend money. Plan out your days in a planner, or on a calendar. I prefer the bullet journal method, as it allows for a creative outlet, which can also help relieve general stress. Pick up your abandoned Pinterest account and try out a few pages to see how you like it. Everyone copes with stress in different ways, and these are a few of the ways that I try to handle it. Stress is never going to go all the way away, though, and dont forget that stress can be a good thing if you manage it properly.
Why Online Classes are Great for Life and Your CV
Why Online Classes are Great for Life and Your CV via Pexels.com But in other ways, online classes can be the best use of time for those of us who are interested in learning more about a variety of topics, or who have the option to take a class online for college credit. Working towards finishing a degree is tough, especially if school isnt the only thing in your life that youre trying to keep afloat. Its much easier to take care of a family and work a full-time job while getting a degree through online classes than having to take off of work or attend night classes. Universities are trying to capitalize on the fact that society is all about taking advantage of the number of hours in a day. People are constantly rushing from place to place. Its all about having more. More money, more degrees, more opportunities. So online classes are a way to offer the perfect solution to wanting to learn while not having to compromise too much. Instead of calling it online courses, or an online program, universities are now using the phrase distance learning. So many of our college campuses are expanding themselves to make their resources available to students who dont live within a reasonable distance to drive every day. Instead, offering courses online gives universities more leeway when it comes to rolling in the tuition money while educating the community. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, almost 29% of students at postsecondary institutions enroll in online courses or are a part of a distance learning program. That statistic will most certainly keep increasing over the next decade. Over the past several years, universities have started offering more and more courses in an online format for a few different reasons: - convenience for students - convenience for professors - lower total cost for students - logistic relief for universities Not only do professors appreciate teaching a course contained entirely online, but students seem to enjoy it more as well. While online courses are much more convenient for both parties, they also allow students who tend to be more shy in a classroom setting to really open up in course discussions. Online classes typically solicit student participation through weekly discussion board posts. Discussion boards exist for the sake of exchanging ideas without the intimidation that can come from face-to-face confrontation in a classroom. Students with personalities that tend to withdraw, or students who get distracted in classroom settings, seem to opt for online courses as opposed to in-person classes. Explaining gaps in employment Taking an online course can also benefit those who are between jobs. Oftentimes, employers expect reasons for gaps in employment. Seeking a degree or furthering your education are great examples of answers employers are looking for when it comes to these gaps. It shows the employer that youre willing to stay on top of recent developments in the field; youre ambitious; youre curious. infographic by Lorena Roberts via Piktochart.com Youre in charge It also shows that youve improved your own self-discipline. Showing up to a class and acting like youre engaged with the material will get you full attendance points. But with an online class, you have to be the one to hold yourself accountable. You dont get a grade for showing up to your online class. You have to develop the self-discipline to complete your assignments and learn the material without a participation grade to bump your final score. Additionally, transferring online course credit can be a simple solution to a problem. If a university doesnt have quite enough seats in a course, taking the class online at another university and transferring the credits will allow you to avoid falling behind in your academic plan. Similarly, its not too inconvenient to take an online class during the summer while still holding a job, going on vacations, or traveling to visit family. A variety of options Oftentimes, the reason students choose to enroll in an online course (or two!) is because there are so many possibilities when it comes to online classes. No longer do students have to settle for whats being offered in person (like Philosophy 101), but they can now fulfill the same credits with courses that are seemingly more interesting! Universities have the ability to offer a better variety of courses when it comes to online classes. The Information Age definitely has its perks. So if youre a student looking for a class in something pretty specific, theres a chance your university will offer the course online. Technically speaking Because the Information Age is upon us, the ability to use technology and easily maneuver through technologically challenging tasks is a huge plus when employers are looking to hire. Sometimes, taking an online class is the only way to push the boundaries of your technical knowledge, allowing you to learn through experience. Not leaving home One of the first benefits people will chalk up to online classes is that you get to do it in your pajamas. Think about all the commercials for online learning: Theres always a girl in her pajamas, on her bed, smiling and enjoying the fact that shes at home and shes going to college! Theres a little more to be said about convenient online classes. Its really about the comfort levels of college students. We tend to be comfortable in our own homes, not to mention the pajamas we get to stay in all day. At your own pace Arguably, one of the greatest parts about taking a class online is that you can get as much (or as little!) done on a daily basis as you would like. Once the syllabus is released at the beginning of the semester, marking your calendar and planning out the days becomes up to you. To some degree, taking classes online allows you to set your own deadlines. It is often a possibility to finish the coursework before the semester is over. This can be relieving for students who work full-time, have families, or are enrolled in heavier coursework additionally. Textbooks are more accessible Online classes will probably still require a textbook. However, it is likely that the textbook is accessible online, for little or no charge. So while taking a class online is usually cheaper, its even more financially ideal because oftentimes you can access the textbook electronically without having to buy a hard copy. Youll still have to spend time researching information, and it is likely that youll be writing at least one paper, but its much easier to maneuver through an online course without purchasing a textbook rather than having to fake it through an entire semester of in-person classes. via Pexels.com Pursuing an online Bachelors degree While taking online classes are an option at almost every university in the country, there are several schools that offer online degree programs, where the entirety of your schooling takes place online. Whether or not you choose to opt into a program like this, its obvious that this is the most convenient way of earning a Bachelors degree. However, theres always a conversation happening about whether or not online degrees are credible. Will an employer think this is a joke? Will they respect what youve learned through the power of technology and the internet? Thanks to US News and World Report, the best online Bachelors degree programs have been ranked. Topping the list is none other than The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. US News and World Report indicates that earning a Bachelors degree entirely online is optimal for students who are non-traditional. Whether youre older than the typical college student or some of your Bachelors degree is already completed, enrolling in an entirely online degree program can be ideal. Improving your current CV with online resources If youre looking for ways to improve your curriculum vitae, seek out online courses that are offered through various institutions. One of the most widely known online learning course selections is offered by Harvard. You can find a list of courses they offer here. Whether youre interested in furthering your data science knowledge, or your educational instruction skills, Harvards online resources are quite extensive. Some of the courses are offered for free, while others require payment. However, after completing the course, you will receive a certificate worth a certain number of hours. This is the perfect thing to add to your CV under certifications or professional development. There are a number of ways to learn more about what youre interested in or the field in which youre working. Simply search for online courses provided on that topic and indulge yourself in soaking up all kinds of new information. Your employer will be impressed that youre staying on top of your game by continuing to educate yourself! The internet gives us all access to a database of endless information at the touch of just a few buttons. Is it worth it If youre wondering whether investing your time into an online course is worth it or not, Business Insider has created a list of the 15 best online courses that will be worth your time. Most of these courses require little, if any, background knowledge on the subject. Theyre designed specifically for people who want to learn more about new subjects. So while this may not be the perfect opportunity to impress your boss, its definitely a way for you to spend your free time wisely, making yourself a better person. If youre wanting to begin dabbling in a new area, this is definitely where you should start. Take advantage of what the online world has to offer You should never feel bad about taking a class online. There were times in college when I was taking online classes and was afraid to admit it to anyone. I didnt want people to think I was taking the easy way out. You should never be ashamed of taking advantage of what technology and the internet has to offer. If it makes your life easier to take an online class, you should absolutely do it. If you can earn some of your college credits through listening to lectures and responding to discussion posts, you should jump on the opportunity. The world is progressing in a way that makes it possible to accomplish one hundred times more things every day than we did, as a civilization, two hundred years ago. Weve come eons and eons from where we used to be. Living in the Technology Age means you can advance your life in any way you want. You can learn about anything you want. Take the time to discover whats out there and whats offered.

Knowing yourself is the true wisdom. Mastering others is a strength. Mastering yourself is true power.â Lao Tzu It demands ample of hard work and mental fight to change oneself for good. We havenât become what we are in a day or two. It was a gradual procedure. So, expecting to change these behavior patterns in one go is not a viable solution. Well, we have a perfect plan for you but be consistent in its execution. Know yourself Sounds easy, right? Well, itâs the hardest thing to do. We feel like we know each and every bit of what and who we are. But take a more in-depth look of yourself. What are the qualities that you possess? What is the purpose of your life? What are your weaknesses and what are your strengths? What is the factor thatâs holding you back? Just try to judge yourself but stay true to oneself. Chalk them out and use them in the goal and plan formulation. Set your goals and formulate a plan Whatâs the image in your mind that is pushing you to seek that change in yourself? Create that image, analyze where you lack and formulate a perfect elaborate plan for its accomplishment. The plan formulation wonât work until and unless you start striving for it.

Algebra 2 Problem Solver
Algebra 2 Problem Solver Algebra problem solver involves application of linear equations on real life. We use linear equation, an integral part of arithmetic, during our day today life. In real, we express the situation in terms of words. These words can be translated in terms of mathematics. For example, Sally wants to divide six chocolates among 3 childrens. Effortlessly we can say each child gets 2 chocolates. But this can be expressed in mathematical form as 6/3 = 2. The following examples show the use of linear equation in real world situations. Example 1:- After 8 years, Amir will be 3 times as old as he is now. Find present age. Solution 1:- Assume, Present age of Amir = x After 8 years Amir Age= x + 8 It is clearly given in the problem, After 8 years Amir Age will be 3 times of his present age = 3x Therefore, x + 8 = 3x 8 = 3x x 8 = 2x x = 4 Hence obtained, the present age of Amir is 4 Example 2:- A student bought some pens at $8 each and some pencils at $1.50 each. If the total number of pens and pencils purchased is 16 and their total cost is $50, how many pens did he buy? Solution 2:- From the problem we know Total number of pen and pencils purchased = 16 Let the number of pens bought = x Pens Pencils Total Number x (Assume) 16 -x 16 Cost 8x 1.50( 16 x) 8x + 1.50(16 x) According to the given condition, total cost is $50 So, we get 8x + 1.50(16 x) = 50 8x + 24 1.50 x = 50 (combining like terms) 6.50 x = 50 -24 x = 26/6.50 x = 2600/65 = 4 Therefore, Number of pens = 4 Number of pencils = (16 x) = 16 4 = 12
