GRE Quantitative Reasoning Strategy Trigonometry Strategies

GRE Quantitative Reasoning Strategy Trigonometry Strategies GRE/MAT Graduate School Blog While you may be taking the GRE to get into graduate school, it may relieve you to know you won’t have to use math that you’ve learned past your sophomore or junior year of high school. Long-winded and drawn out problem solving and arithmetic is not the style of the GRE. So what’s the catch? If the math is so easy, why are you even reading this article on how to tackle the math section? The challenge behind this section draws from the way these limited mathematical concepts are presented to you. In a sense, you need to often systematically deconstruct the problem in the way it’s presented, to determine what is really being asked of you. Once you are able to determine what the question is asking, the actual “number-crunching” or math involved is much less than you might think. As per ETS, here are the main points the exam is essentially assessing: basic mathematical skills understanding of elementary mathematical concepts ability to reason quantitatively and to model and solve problems with quantitative methods They will use the following subject matter to test your ability to successfully demonstrate competency in the above: basic shape properties (triangles, circles, quadrilaterals, etc.), exponents, integer properties, word problems. Our friends at Magoosh have built this frequency distribution to provide better insight into the types of questions asked and how high or low yield they are: The GRE quantitative section is broken up into quantitative comparison (QC) questions and problem solving questions. The QC questions involve comparing two columns and deciding if one is greater than the other, if they are both equal or if it cannot be determined. The Problem solving section entails multiple choice and free response. The lack of advanced math concepts on this exam provides students with a unique advantage. By getting enough practice and familiarity with the types of questions on the GRE, especially by taking as many practice exams as possible, a student has a high likelihood of success since the math concepts themselves are not terribly difficult and can be strengthened. Repeated exposure will be the best tool against some of the more seemingly tricky questions on the GRE. This is why one’s best friend during test prep is taking practice exams and going over the answers (with your tutors)! Make sure to always challenge yourself and stay consistent. Come test day, your hard work will surely pay off! The following is an example of a math problem that may seem complicated, but only involves simple trig concepts of a 30-60-90 triangle: What is the area of an equilateral triangle whose inscribed circle has a radius of 2? 12 16 12 sq rt._/3 16 sq rt._/3 4(3+2 sq rt._/2) To begin, draw an equilateral triangle with a circle inscribed inside.From here, you can draw a hypotenuse for a 30-60-90 right triangle from the center of the circle to either of the bottom two sides. Remember that in a 30-60-90 triangle the proportions are: So it follows that our triangle’s sides are: Now draw the altitude in for the big, equilateral triangle to find the height. Drawing in this altitude will allow you to form a bigger 30-60-90 right triangle. Using the same proportions of a 30-60-90 triangle we get the following side lengths of the larger triangle. Now you can simply use the formula to calculate the area of a triangle: Area of a Triangle = ½ (base) x (height) = ½ (4 sq rt_/3)(6) =24 sq rt_/3 x ½ =12 sq rt_/3 The answer is C! Remember to first draw a picture and remember that they will simply test basic trig and math concepts, dressed up in seemingly tricky problems! Good luck!

Tutorfair Discounted Dyslexia Training, Monday Nov. 24th

Tutorfair Discounted Dyslexia Training, Monday Nov. 24th Dyslexia Training with British Dyslexia Association and Tutorfair Have you or your child been diagnosed with dyslexia? Are you a tutor who’s been asked to support a dyslexic student? Tutorfair can help! Dyslexia is such a complicated thing to understand, not just for the person/child who has it, but also for everyone around them. Trying to learn to live with it doesn't stop with going into class from 9-5, or doing extra homework; that can only truly happen if they get the correct support needed for his/her's specific difficulty. -Nicholas B. Students with dyslexia often find studying and learning frustrating, if not impossible. Dyslexia is not conducive to traditional methods of learning to read, write, and spell. As a result, dyslexic students often benefit from additional support outside of school, like private tutors. The right tutor can make a huge difference for a student with dyslexia. With effective support, the difficulties of dyslexia can be minimised and students can become successful readers and writers. About one in ten people in the UK struggles with dyslexia. In fact, there are more searches for dyslexia tutors in London than for English and science tutors combined! That’s a huge demand! Tutorfair wants to make sure students have access to the support they need to love learning and enjoy their time in school. So we’re committed to ensuring there are qualified, well-trained tutors who can provide this much needed support. Training to provide dyslexia support is often expensive and difficult for tutors to access, which is where Tutorfair comes in! I was very lucky that I got support from a very young age learnt many different methods about how to live with it like: if I encounter a problem what to do, what methods can I use to overcome the problem. - Nicholas B. Tutorfair is teaming up with the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) to train our tutors in Practical Solutions for Dyslexia. Tutorfair and BDA will provide 25 lucky tutors with the tools they need to effectively help students who struggle with dyslexia. We’re making this course available to tutors for a serious discount! Normally, it costs £72; however Tutorfair tutors can attend for just £40!  After the course, tutors will : have an understanding of the sensory experience of what dyslexia feels like and how it affects the learning process be familiar with different types of dyslexia understand the best ways to teach children with dyslexia, according to research and learning theories have ideas and knowledge of practical teaching strategies, multisensory lesson plans and resources Sign up here to attend Practical Solutions course on Monday Nov. 24th, 2014. We plan to follow-up this training with a series of training days which, when combined, will give tutors a level-3 Accreditation in Dyslexia Support. The Nov. 24th training day is a pre-requisite for further training, so if you’re a tutor who’d like to get training, it’s very important you attend! This is also the best day to attend if you’re looking for a less in-depth overview of dyslexia. Students and parents will be able to search our database for “Dyslexia Support” to find quality, trained tutors who can provide effective learning support. As a result, more students will have more support, and can start loving to learn! Now that I'm in my mid 20's, lots of people say that they wouldn't have known whatsoever that I had a really severe form of Dyslexia/Dyspraxia. For me, that is the greatest compliment. Accommodating each child/person’s specific needs, as soon as possible (and being incredibly patient with it) would mean that they can carry on with their lives without any difficulties, and without being afraid.   -Nicholas B. British Dyslexia Association The British Dyslexia Association provide dyslexia and dyscalculia training for schools, teachers, companies, and individuals.The BDA aims to be the voice of the dyslexic community in the UK and enable individuals with dyslexia to reach their full potential.

Pros: With so many different services to choose from, Delivery.com is a great app to use if you have multiple errands to run. So, if you don’t want to waste time purchasing groceries from one place and alcohol from another, Delivery.com offers a super convenient solution. Unlike some other apps, Delivery.com does not charge a service fee! Delivery.com offers quite a variety of food options, with 39 different kinds of cuisine to choose from at popular restaurants. You can earn Delivery Points for every order you place, which means you can redeem your points for credit on any orders you place in the future. What’s more, Delivery.com offers exclusive promotions and discounts that you should definitely take advantage of. Cons: While the app itself does not charge a service fee, some restaurants that you order from may have a delivery fee and set an order minimum. DoorDash DoorDash is another widely known and used food delivery app that you may want to give a try. Pros: You get free delivery for your first order! Who doesn’t love that? You can access DoorDash from more than 1,200 cities in Canada and the U.S., and it offers options from over 110,000 restaurant menus! With such a variety of places from which to order and choose, you’re sure to enjoy perusing this app for food options. This app has a unique and helpful feature called “DoorDash Delight,” which is essentially a rating system that recommends the best restaurants in your area by accounting for such things as restaurant popularity, customer satisfaction, food quality, and delivery time. This is a great feature to take advantage of so that you can easily pick and choose from local restaurants. On the flip side, if you’re looking for a job, DoorDash just might be a good fit for you. “Dashers” drive around to different restaurants and deliver orders to customers, plus it’s a very flexible job because they get to determine their own working hours. Cons: Ordering on DoorDash may sometimes include additional delivery fees, including a service fee and extra pricing during busy delivery times. So if you’re looking to save on money, just be wary of any additional fees you may have to pay. Eat 24 Available in more than 1,500 different cities in the U.S., Eat 24 is a food delivery app owned by Grubhub. Pros: Eat 24 provides an array of options. There are 50 different kinds of cuisine to choose from, plus you get to pick among different types of eateries: fast food, casual, and sit-down restaurants. Eat 24 also offers exclusive promotions that will help you save on the price of your meal. What’s more, there are no delivery fees. Another really cool feature of Eat 24 is that you get to read other customers’ reviews and ratings of different restaurants. This can be super helpful if you’re the kind of person who wants to see what other people think about a certain establishment, which can help guide your own decision-making process. Cons: Restaurants that you order from may possibly charge a delivery fee and set an order minimum. As it’s owned by Grubhub, Eat 24 may seem a little too similar to its parent company. So if you’re already a Grubhub user, you may not find much incentive to use Eat 24. via Pexels Eat Purely For those of you who want to order in but still crave something delicious and healthy, Eat Purely is a great choice. Based in Chicago, this food delivery service boasts “healthy, delicious, chef-made meals delivered in about 20 minutes,” according to its website. Pros: If you prize fresh and healthy food, Eat Purely is the app for you. You can choose from a daily rotating menu of locally-sourced food, all of which is prepared by artisan chefs using fresh, seasonal ingredients on par with restaurant meals. What’s more, Eat Purely offers a variety of meal choices because it uses a daily rotating menu. That means you most likely won’t get bored of what this service has to offer. Delivery is flexible, as you can order on demand or schedule your meal to arrive up to a week in advance. Plus, as mentioned above, meals can be delivered within 20 minutes which makes this app a reliable and speedy service. Cons: As Eat Purely is based in Chicago, it is not as readily accessible to different cities throughout the U.S. as other apps are. While there’s no delivery fee, Eat Purely does automatically tack on a $3 tip. Infographic by Kailey Walters Grubhub Even if you don’t know much about food delivery apps or have never used one before, you’ve probably at least heard of Grubhub. This is certainly a great app you can use the next time you want to fulfill your cravings. Pros: Grubhub is available in more than 900 cities, so you’re likely to have access to this app wherever you are in the U.S. Grubhub offers quite an array of food options, with more than 50 different types of cuisine for customers to choose from. With so many kinds of cuisine available to you, you’ll never get bored! Instead, explore to your heart’s (or your stomach’s) desire. And with that being said It’s easy to explore nearby restaurants. All you have to do is type in your delivery address and the app will pull up a handy list of all the restaurants in your area. Searching for what you want in the app is also pretty convenient. You can choose to search either by food item or by cuisine, which is helpful for providing different search methods. Another super helpful and convenient feature of the Grubhub app is that you can save previous delivery locations, which ultimately speeds up the order and delivery process. What’s more, your last payment method is also saved in the app, which helps to speed up the process as well and won’t leave you scrambling for your credit or debit card every time you place an order. Grubhub allows you to easily track your order so that you’ll know exactly where it is and when it’s arriving at your front door. Cons: While Grubhub itself doesn’t have delivery fees, some of the restaurants you order from may charge a set delivery fee. So if you’re trying to cut back on delivery fee expenses, keep an eye out for select restaurants that charge. Postmates Another versatile app, Postmates delivers not just food but also groceries and alcohol. As a result, this can be a great app to use if you’re looking to order more than just food. Plus, you can use Postmates in more than 90 U.S. cities. Pros: If you happen to be craving a certain kind of food at 2 a.m., Postmates has got your back with its 24/7 delivery service. As long as the place you’re ordering from is still open at the time, Postmates will deliver to you. That’s convenience right there! You have the flexibility of deciding whether you want the order delivered right to your front door (for a fee) or if you want to just order for pickup. Postmates offers a helpful Unlimited plan, which charges $10 a month, or $84 a year, in exchange for free delivery on all orders above $20. This feature can be especially useful if you make purchases over $20 on a somewhat regular basis. However, if you don’t usually order over $20, this program may not be entirely worth it for you. Cons: Postmates charges a delivery fee that ranges from $4-$10, as well as an additional service fee during busier times. Seamless While the Seamless app is available in more than 600 U.S. cities, it is most often used by restaurants in New York City.

Seamless offers a number of exclusive discounts and promos that you’ll be sure to want to take advantage of. Seamless provides options from thousands of restaurants, meaning that you’ll have plenty of venues and menus to choose from. Cons: Although Seamless does offer options from many restaurants, it provides only 25 different types of cuisine significantly less compared to other apps such as Grubhub. While there is no delivery fee, this app does often have a minimum that you need to order. So if you were just looking to get something small, you may need to order more to meet that minimum requirement (which could potentially be a bad idea, since you don’t want to waste food). Or simply go with another delivery app for the time being. via Pexels UberEats Different from the Uber car service app, UberEats allows you to access food from many different restaurants and grocery stores near you. Pros: If you’re already familiar with the Uber app, using UberEats should be a breeze because the app is designed very similarly. Being familiar with its user-friendly interface is definitely a plus if you want to have an easy, smooth experience with the app. You’ll certainly have plenty of options to choose from, as UberEats offers more than 70 different types of cuisine.

Plus, they’re very good at keeping customers up to date when tracking orders. Payment is fairly convenient, as you can choose to pay with either your Uber account or with a credit card. Cons: UberEats charges a $5 delivery fee, which could potentially seem like a lot when it’s tacked on to the price of your meal. This price might even increase if the UberEats delivery drivers are extra busy, so just make sure to account for that. With all of these different food delivery apps to choose from, you won’t be running out of meal options anytime soon. Take advantage of these great services and discounts to get the most out of your food delivery experience!

Grades The Holiday Season Slump - TutorNerds

Grades The Holiday Season Slump - TutorNerds Grades and The Holidays: Beat the Slump Now that everyone is back from Thanksgiving break, many high school students find it difficult to get back into the academic groove (READ: Thanksgiving Study Catch-Up Time). Most students have been working hard since the end of August and are ready for a long-term break. However, its still important to stay focused between now and December 20, when the next break starts a private Irvine academic tutor can help you stay motivated. Senioritis shouldnt set in until April or May 2015. In fact, its better not to let senioritis set in at all. December is way too early to let go of academic responsibilities but it’s a good time to reevaluate what is reasonable and what is not. Successful students should ask themselves the following questions this time of year. 1. Can I handle my academic load as it is now? If you are feeling entirely exhausted and unable to keep up the pace in December, now is the time to reevaluate educational commitments. Some things are flexible while others are not. If you are planning to take the SAT or ACT in the spring but think that you might not be able to handle it, consider taking it in February instead (READ: A Timeline Study Guide for the SAT). However, if you have signed up for an AP class, you are now committed to taking the exam in May. Can you handle everything on your plate? What can you cut off the list? For example, if you are doing volunteer work for high school credit you may be able to put that off until the summer so that you can focus on your current academic commitments. 2. Are my extracurricular activities reasonable? Many students have signed up for extracurricular activities. This is a great thing to do, of course, but not at the expense of grades in core subjects. Students who are signed up for sports, arts and music, or community service activities should consider whether they are doing too much or perhaps not enough. Many students have overextended their schedule while other students may find that they are far behind in activities that would be impressive on a college application. December is a great time to think about subtracting or adding extracurricular activities (READ: End of the Grading Period Crunch Time). 3. Is my schedule consistent? Now is a good time to take a look at consistency in education. Many students put things off until the last minute during the month of December simply due to fatigue. Unfortunately, this can backfire. You may save 5 minutes now only to spend 15 minutes later and end up in a panic. If you are starting to feel as though you do not have the same amount of consistency that you had in August, speak with your tutor about a new schedule that might be reasonable and ask him or her to help you stay organized. 4. Do my grades meet my expectations? If you know that youre an A student in most of your subjects, but you have been sliding by with a B recently, youre probably suffering from a holiday season slump. Its important to talk with your family about the amount of time that you will need to study between now and January 1st. Many adults have one or two weeks off from work and dont need to look at their email or listen to their voicemails until they go back in January. However, most college prep students will have some work to do over the winter holiday break. Sometimes its difficult for relatives to remember what is expected of a high school student during this time of year (READ: Ask a Nerd! Grades and AP Class). Let your parents know ahead of time about the amount of hours you may need to spend studying, preparing assignments, or studying for a standardized test during the last two weeks of December. The holidays should be a fun time. You should enjoy family, friends, travel, gifts, and plenty of sweet treats. However, dont let all of these distractions take you away from your college prep tasks. Make a plan now and stick to it for the remainder of the month to give you the best chance of success for the rest of the academic year. Youre about halfway done with the school year, so enjoy yourself but keep your eye on the prize. All blog entries, with the exception of guest bloggers, are written by Tutor Nerds.

How Renting Furniture Lowers Your Stress Levels

How Renting Furniture Lowers Your Stress Levels www.akeena.net Stress doesn’t need to be a factor when it comes to furniture rentals and here are a few reasons how that works out to be true: •You have zero furniture? Rent. Simple. It gets done in 48 hours max, so you won’t be in a furniture-less place for long. •Depending on the contract you sign at your apartment complex you could get good deals on furniture rentals. Companies give good rates to students depending on the type of contract they sign for. It saves you time and money in the long run. •It works if you are living somewhere for a set amount of time. Technically that is the ultimate best setting for renting furniture. Get it in, then get it out. Simple as that. If you know your end date somewhere, renting furniture might be your best bet, that way you won’t be stuck with unnecessary furniture that you don’t need or want. •Do you hate moving furniture? Yeah so do I. When you rent furniture you won’t have too. That is what the moving furniture rental people get paid to do! So if you move again, don’t worry about trying to gather all your friends and family to help you move out they will not be needed. •Is there something you have seen and wanted to try, but don’t know if you actually want it in your house or apartment for a good amount of time? Never fear, you can actually rent pieces of furniture before you fully commit. You can rent for a month or two and then send it back. •Redecorating can be a cool experience if you want something new to wash out the old, yet, redecorating with furniture that you have to sell to make room for new pieces is a harder task than people let on. When you rent furniture, certain sets can have different expiration dates, so the movers come in and clean you out and then you get a whole new set that they move in for you. No hassle, no worry; and you get a whole new décor. •There are rent-to-own programs, meaning that if you don’t have the money to buy furniture right then and there you can enroll in the program which requires you to make monthly payments up until the time the furniture is paid off.   Although doing this may cause you to be paying more for the furniture than if you had just paid for it outright in the beginning. •You can coordinate what you want. You can have a full-on living room set if you want it and not waste time picking out every little piece of furniture. Each set is most likely for a flat rate price each and you don’t have to worry about picking out things that match and then being upset if nothing works. Just have the rental company get a good set to you. http://www.wildcatmovers.com Renting is something that will be in society forever, so just take a breath and let it ease your mind. Don’t hassle yourself too much when you don’t have to; take the easy road, it is better on your stress levels. Looking for an easy way to furnish your off-campus apartment? Renting furniture from CORT saves you time and money. See how easy it is to get great looking furniture without breaking the bank.
