Kaplan LSAT Tutor Salary - How To Earn The Best Rate

Kaplan LSAT Tutor Salary - How To Earn The Best RateKaplan LSAT tutors are compensated for their expertise and skills as teachers by an hourly wage. There are several reasons that can contribute to the high salaries that a Kaplan LSAT tutor can receive. First, teaching online is a very lucrative career, with competition rising every day. The importance of a LSAT tutor has never been greater, and as a result the job is growing in importance in every field.Tutors who specialize in the subject area tend to get paid more because they have the knowledge necessary to teach students properly. Second, the work environment is more productive. Good teachers are constantly on the move, and because they tend to travel around the country and the world, they have plenty of opportunity to teach at schools.Those who teach full-time positions are able to get good paying work, as well as other benefits and perks. Those that teach part time jobs can enjoy the benefits of full time employment, but do no t necessarily earn as much as full-time instructors.Kaplan LSAT tutors can also expect higher salaries for their subject matter skills because they know the math behind advanced algebra and calculus. Some companies, like UNLV, have a math department that focuses on teaching students math, which can help them perform better on the test. For these reasons, many Kaplan LSAT tutors are trying to increase their customer base, which is important for earning a higher pay rate.Though salary is not the only factor, it can play a big role in the experience level of a tutor. For instance, many large corporations pay for experience, which can be valuable when working for smaller companies. The more senior a tutor is, the more he or she can expect to make.Kaplan LSAT tutors are hired to help students who might not be capable of performing well on the LSAT without some assistance. As the test approaches, tutors are a bit more likely to go over previous tests with students and make notes for upcom ing exams. When there is a heavy workload, a teacher should be careful not to overload students with too much homework, and definitely avoid cramming.As a teacher of Kaplan LSAT, you will be looking for a way to improve your salary. If you are still considering how to earn a better wage, it might be worth looking into the idea of becoming a Kaplan tutor. While you may want to hold onto your regular job, you might just find that being a tutoring teacher allows you to stay home and spend more time with your family.

Pronouncing ED endings in English Video and Exercise

Pronouncing ED endings in English Video and Exercise One of the mistakes that we see often with our students, especially with Brazilians and any Spanish speakers, is mispronunciation of English words that end in ED. Basically a word like walked should sound like walkt, not walk-ID.The difference may seem very subtle to non-native speakers, but pronouncing ED endings correctly in English is important. The difference is very noticeable to native speakers, and with a few easy tips, you can fix this problem and make your English sound much better.The best way to practice pronouncing ED endings is to talk to live native English speakers, listen to how they say the words, and allow them to hear how you pronounce English words with ED endings. Our video below will help you get started, and then you can try the exercise below.

How to improve your outreach and land more interviews

How to improve your outreach and land more interviews I’m Sara. I’m an Education Partnerships Executive here at Teach Away, which means that every day, I talk to leaders, administrators, and hiring managers at schools around the globe. My job is to help them improve their recruitment and hiring processes through a partnership with Teach Away. In my role - assisting schools and organizations, each with idiosyncratic challenges to overcome in their recruitment journeys - there are a few analogies for the solutionsI recommend (on a basic level, of course): You can’t catch a fish without a line in the water. The more lines in the water, the more fish you’re likely to catch. If you don’t fish where the fish are, you catch zilch. What I want to focus on today, though, is this one: Just because you can see a fish doesn’t mean you can catch it. Here’s a scenario I commonly encounter when working with schools: The school has set up a website to market their school (great!) They’re targeting teaching professionals by posting their vacancies on education-specific job boards (perfect!) Applications are flooding in! Great news, right? Not quite. There’s still another piece to the puzzle. Often, the candidates applying to these schools aren’t as responsive as the school would hope beyond the initial application. Highlighting this is the fact that the school’s application-to-interview ratio is nowhere near where it could be. The root of the problem lies in the outreach - not in the quantity or quality of the candidates involved. While conventional wisdom suggests that the more applicants you’re able to attract the better your chances of filling your vacancies, the real key to hiring amazing new employees is how you nurture applicants through the recruitment process. Let’s take a look at some best practices for applicant outreach and communication. 1. Timeliness is imperative Once you’ve received an application, the next step may be the most important of all. You need to reach out to your candidates to acknowledge their application, and you need to do it quickly. Our research shows that candidates who are contacted within 3 days of submitting a job application are 27% more likely to accept a job offer and are 22% less likely to drop out of the hiring process. To simplify this process on your end, try using an applicant tracking system or marketing automation software to automatically respond to new applicants. Pro tip: While contacting your candidates quickly is vital, timing is important as well. Consider your candidates’ timezones and other factors that might impact the best time to be in touch. 2. Make a good first impression Ah, time for another age-old adage: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”. As an international school leader, you are busy, but taking (or making) the time to build rapport and a create a relationship with prospective candidates starting with your very first contact is well worth the time and effort. While you may be trying to get through the recruitment process as quickly and painlessly as possible, a positive candidate experience is everything. As much as you’re evaluating candidates, they’re evaluating your school as a prospective employer as well. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot and lose out on a promising candidate due to a poor first impression. 3. Humanize the process Each individual in your recruitment pipeline has their own unique set of circumstances, whether they’re considering teaching abroad for the first time or working full time at another international school and considering a move. To provide the best experience, put yourself in the candidate’s shoes. Minor considerations to accommodate candidates - being flexible around interview timing, choosing convenient methods of communication, or being understanding of existing obligations - will go a long way towards creating a positive predilection toward your school. 4. Sell your school Your job of selling your school doesn’t end when a candidate clicks submit on their application; you need to continue selling your school throughout the duration of the recruitment process. Every touchpoint with a candidate is an opportunity to keep candidates engaged, build excitement about working at your school, and further convince them that your school is the right fit for them. Perhaps you can share video highlights from the school year when you reach out to schedule an interview, or follow up with interviewees using a virtual campus tour to show off your facilities. To really allow candidates to get a good feel for your school, consider conducting interviews with current staff to share what life is really like at your school. 5. Provide a 360 ° view of your opportunity An important consideration when recruiting international educators is that what matters to one person may not matter to another, and what’s important to you may not resonate with your candidates. The image below shows the most in-demand job benefits, in order, among candidates for your teaching vacancies: To combat this, be sure to provide candidates with a well-rounded description of what life is like at your school and the benefits and opportunities available to them. It’s unrealistic to think you’ll be able to tailor your pitch to each individual candidate so you’ll want to consider the multitude of factors that matter to international educators and address them as best you can. You don’t want to miss out on a great candidate who’s looking for growth in their next role because you neglected to mention the robust professional development calendar at your school. 6. The devil is in the details Teach Away candidates, on average, submit more than five job applications to teach abroad per year, often within the same month. This means that, right off the bat you’ve got 4+ competitors vying for the services of the same teacher you are. With that in mind, think about these questions: Are you going above and beyond to woo your candidates? If not, do you like your chances? Are there things your competitors may be doing that you’re not? Are there things you could be doing that would set you apart? Aim to surprise and delight your candidates. Any edge you can give yourself helps - it could make the difference between a top teacher choosing your school over the one down the road. Just going through the motions won’t translate to success in your recruitment efforts. But by being thoughtful and purposeful with your outreach you have an opportunity to make a positive first impression, build a relationship with prospective candidates, and reinforce why your school should be your candidates’ first choice. Don’t let your efforts in attracting applicants go to waste. They’ve already taken the bait; set the hook and reel in a big one!

Ho ho huh Merry Christmas!

Ho ho huh Merry Christmas! Ho ho .. oh? Well, Christmas is coming at break neck speed. Are you ready! Im not. I can give you one suggestion; do not watch the news reports of the masses in the shopping malls crazy for the fifty percent off weed whackers, or trying to get a parking spot that could cost you your life. Never mind Target, Macys is so busy the handicap placards are going for top dollar over there. And don’t forget the extra wrapping paper and the decorations to replace the ones the dog chewed up yesterday. OK, maybe it isn’t all that bad but that’s how it looks to me. I’m always busy judging everybody knocking themselves out to meet the Christmas expectations and specifications. Ho ho ho! Hey who you calling a … alright I’ll stop right there. But once again I want to know; why is everyone going mad on December 25th? Christmas! I get it; I’m not a Druid you know (at least I don’t think so?). But how come Christmas is celebrated on different dates in different countries? And how come everyone has so many different traditions. My research found some answers and created a few more questions, but here are a couple of tid-bits for Christmas in America. Did you know that … Each year, 35 million Christmas trees are sold in the United States. There are approximately 21,000 Christmas tree growers in the United States, and it takes about 15 years to grow a Christmas tree that’s ready to be sold. The Christmas tree idea really started in Germany. In fact in 1846 queen Victoria and her German prince, Albert was shown in a newspaper sketch standing with their children next to a Christmas tree. Of course that was all that was needed for the British and The East coast well to do Americans to get into the tree thing. Today, in the Greek and Russian orthodox churches, Christmas is celebrated 13 days after the 25th, which is also referred to as the Epiphany or Three Kings Day. This is the day it is believed that the three wise men finally found Jesus in the manger. In the Middle Ages, Christmas celebrations were rowdy and raucousâ€"a lot like todays Mardi Gras parties. The churches and the rich put a stop to that. From 1659 to 1681, the celebration of Christmas was outlawed in Boston, and law-breakers were fined five shillings. The first eggnog made in the United States was consumed in Captain John Smiths 1607 Jamestown settlement. Poinsettia plants are named after Joel R. Poinsett, an American minister to Mexico, who brought the red-and-green plant from Mexico to America in 1828. The Salvation Army has been sending Santa Claus-clad donation collectors into the streets since the 1890s. The Red Santa outfit he wears today came from a Coke commercial. Rudolph, the most famous reindeer of all, was the product of Robert L. Mays imagination in 1939. The copywriter wrote a poem about the reindeer to help lure customers into the Montgomery Ward department store. So Christmas in America has been more of an evolution of many combined ancient holiday’s and foreign cultures and money.   Who knew?   Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas?

Ring in the New Year With Philanthropy in the Community

Ring in the New Year With Philanthropy in the Community Philanthropy and Volunteerism for Future Teachers of America Many college students wish to go into teaching. This is a great and admirable profession and one that will help the next generation. However, its difficult for teachers to get their start in the field and to gain experience. One fantastic way for future teachers to both add to their community, as a philanthropist, and gain valuable experience is to join Reading Partners (READ: Extra Curricular Activities For Your College Resume). Reading Partners is a literacy advocacy program throughout the United States and it has a branch right here in Orange County. Volunteers only need to commit one hour a week, however they are welcome to commit more of their time, in order to be a part of the program. The goal of Reading Partners is to strengthen the literacy rate between kindergarten and third graders who attend public schools throughout Orange County. As many already know, any child who is illiterate will likely become an illiterate adult and without the ability to read most adults end up in or stay in poverty. College students do not need to have any experience to join Reading Partners; the program will train volunteers and place them in classrooms that are in need. Bilingual college students â€" English/Spanish â€" are especially needed as many of the students are English language learners. In 2014, Reading Partners volunteered in 13 schools throughout 7 school districts and over 1,400 students received services or products through Reading Partners One Book as well as the School Supplies Project. Fighting Illiteracy Although it seems that there shouldnt be any illiteracy in Orange County, CA, many local students are in need (Click: Reading Partners Children in Orange County). Some parts of the US that we think are thriving have students that continually slip through the cracks and because certain counties in the US receive less attention, the students are less likely to receive help. In addition to general literacy, its very important for students in elementary school to speak fluent English. For every year that students do not receive English literacy services, theyre more likely to fall behind or just plain give up (READ: Getting Your Community Service Credits). Reading and writing are core subjects for a reason: Everything we look at, from a street sign to ingredients on food packaging to college prep material is written in the English language. Children who cant read at their grade level become essentially blind. Joining Reading Partners, or any other respected literacy project, is a fabulo us way for college students, or people of any age, to both add to the community and gain valuable experience for a future career. Students who wish to volunteer through Reading Partners should do some research on the website and look for a location near them. Its important for volunteers to be honest and upfront about the amount of time that they have to offer. College students can become very busy, so if one hour a week is the maximum that they can provide, they should be upfront about this. One hour a week is better than zero hours and is a wonderful gift of time. Additionally, volunteers deserve to be recognized for their work (READ: New School: Adjusting to Advances in Technology). Ask for a Letter of Recommendation If possible, college students should investigate if their university offers any official recognition that can later be added to a resume or professional network such as LinkedIn. Volunteers are also encouraged to ask Reading Partners, or any volunteer organization that they join, if they can receive a letter of recommendation or reference upon the completion of their volunteer commitment. Its getting harder to find a full-time job these days, so its important to keep resumes up-to-date with any and all community-minded activities.
