Where to find honest reviews for online English teaching companies

Where to find honest reviews for online English teaching companies If you’ve spent any time at all researching online English teaching jobs, you will be alarmed at how fake some of these sites look. It’s not uncommon for a stock image of a man in headphones to take up 90% of the screen and for the other 10% of the screen to be occupied by Chinese characters. There’s really nothing more disconcerting than having to google translate job requirements for an online English teaching position. Often, websites for these online teaching companies offer scant information about the position. And when there is information, it’s generally just a list of qualifications/requirements for candidates. To find out anything at all about the actual job, you’re expected to send an email to what may look like a spammy email address. And even when the email address seems professional, it may feel like a headache to actually get in touch with these folk, only to find out it will be a 2 hour per week contract paying you $8 in total. Our advice is not to let bad web design, a lack of details or poor translation put you off. There are other places you can go to find out all the information you need to make the decision. The internet is home to a literal army of online English teachers in the exact same position. They are continually posting reviews, recommendations and advice for teachers in the same boat. All you’ve got to do is know where to look. You’d be surprised at how many of these dodgy-looking sites are actually legit. Like other careers, there are no shortcuts when it comes to a proper job hunt. You’re going to have to commit a few hours to figuring out what’s what in the online English teaching universe and reading up on the various online English teaching companies. There’s no easy way around it and to skip this step might land you locked into a contract with poor conditions and missed pay slips. This shouldn’t be the case, if you do your research, there’s no reason why online teaching won’t be as convenient and lucrative as it sounds. The best places to find trustworthy online ESL teaching reviews 1. Glassdoor Not all the online teaching companies will have reviews listed here (in fact, not many will have a presence on this site), but it’s generally a good place to start your search. They typically have detailed reviews as the process requires users to answer specific questions. 2. Google is your BAE The online English teaching companies should be all over Google, so it’s worth doing a thorough search on them. This will throw all sorts of listings and we recommend looking further than just page one. Tabs are there for a reason, so use them. If you take anything away from this blog post, it’s this: search, sigh, and then, search again. 3. REDDIT Online teachers are on the tech-savvy end of things and there’s only one place that all tech types seek information. Reddit might seem like a monster, but it’s chock-full of teachers answering questions about various online teaching companies, including VIPKID. There are subreddits that will answer your every concern. The internet is a helpful place, so use it. We recommend checking out the subreddit dedicated to online TEFL teachers. 3. Quora This is better than any review site. Chances are any company you’re wondering about has already been mentioned in the numerous questions posted by online TEFL teachers every day. But if you don’t feel like trawling through other people’s queries, why not post your own question. Quora will let you do it on a specific thread and select people to ask the question to. Just searching “teach English online companies” will throw up questions and answers that might already offer plenty of honest feedback about the companies you’re wondering about. 4. Facebook groups If you really want the honest truth about an online ESL company - avoid their company Facebook and jump straight to one of these groups. You’ll bypass all the nonsense. There will be more than enough people willing to give you their opinions about companies and conditions. We recommend the following: Hired online teachers with job reviews, Teach ESL online Online English teachers These are all full of teachers chatting about their positions. Now, I know what you’re thinking - anyone can write reviews on the internet and employees are probably penning odes to their own companies. But it’s pretty easy to spot a fake review and there are as many honest ones out there. So before I tell you where to search for reviews, I’m going to show you how to spot the fake ones peppering those very same pages. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. How to spot a fake teaching English online job review Someone writing a fake review often seems vague They will list benefits and not go into much detail. This is because it’s hard to say much about something you haven’t actually experienced. Honest reviews for online teaching jobs usually focus on the details of the role because they’ve been in your shoes and know what people looking at reviews need to know. Honest reviewers tend to be specific about their own experiences and qualifications as well as giving thorough examples of working with the company. It sounds weirdly sales-y Use your common sense, the minute you feel like you’re being sold the online job, back right up and have another google. It’s not to say that a fake review is lying, just that what you want is a little more insight than a sales pitch. It’s all about the reviewer The more you see the words “I” and “me” the warier you should be. Psychologists have found that when people are lying - they tend to try and make their experiences seem more personal. A real reviewer will mention themselves, but perhaps in passing, their review will most likely focus on the role and company. The same review is cross-published on numerous sites This one is easy to spot, and if you see the exact same answers cropping up over and over… with the same wording, then it’s probably a copy and paste hack-job. Verbs versus nouns Honest people tend to have some cold-hard facts and their reviews will be full of nouns, so do a little count. Fake reviews are heavy on the verbs as they try to get you to believe their drastic sounding stories. Check the timestamps on reviews If all the good reviews are written at pretty much the same time… be warned! I’m sure there’s some universe where every online teacher logs on at the same time feeling like passionately sharing the positives of the company they work for…but we’re not in that universe. Generally speaking, real reviews will be spaced out. A concentration of reviews for a particular company during office working hours on one particular day in June of 2018 might be a good reason to get suspicious. Review the reviewer ???? Most honest reviewers come with a profile attached. Have a nosey…do they answer similar questions on the site and are the answers genuinely helpful. If it’s on a social network, it’s easy to see if they’re a real person and you can double check LinkedIn to make sure they’ve actually been a teacher. Not everyone has a big online footprint, but it’s not hard to find out a little bit more about the person writing it if you take a minute to look. The review is sloppy People being paid to post fake reviews aren’t paid a lot and usually per review. This means their reviews can leave a lot to be desired and if you’re seeing terrible punctuation, poor spelling and just plain bad English...well ask yourself this - is this person really an English teacher? I don’t know any English teacher worth their salt that would leave a trail of typos in their wake!

How To Squeeze The Most Out Of Your Internship Experience

How To Squeeze The Most Out Of Your Internship Experience image via www.adweek.com Internships are a lot of work, especially on top of school and another job or two, but once in a while, really stop and ask yourself if you are getting the most out of that internship as you can. How can you do this exactly? Let’s take a look. Get in with the in crowd: Internships usually mean that you get to work with some pretty cool people in your field or industry. Whether this is a professor who has a lot of experience or a working professional that you aspire to be, you really want to be around them as much as you can and soak in their awesomeness. Sure, you are going to be doing a lot of brunt work and you can’t always be at the cool table, but sometimes you get to snag a spot, and you don’t want to waste the moment. For my creative writing internship, all of the interns had to help put on a Living Writers Series, where authors would come to our school, read from their books or poetry, and then host a QA. We had the opportunity to go to dinner with a few of them, and I got to tag along with Chang-Rae Lee, and he actually asked me about my own writing! I was so star struck and amazed that this successful author was taking the time to ask about little old me. It was such an amazing opportunity, and I wouldn’t have had the chance to be there if it weren’t for my internship. Moments like this have to be earned through hard work, so if you prove your worth, you might just get an in with the in crowd. Do you know how valuable that is in today’s society where everything is based off of connections? Watch the people you work with and for; they might just know someone somewhere who will help land you your dream job someday if you play your cards right. Take on extra work: During your internship, you probably won’t be the only intern that is bustling around, so try and really make sure that you stand out. Take on extra work when there is an opportunity to do so, put a lot of effort into everything that you do, don’t be afraid to ask questions or get clarifications to make sure that you are doing things right, and really show that you are grateful for the opportunity that you have and you won’t put it to waste. You want to leave your internship with the company begging you to stay on as an employee, or if they don’t have the room, at least leave in a way that will make them remember you and that will result in you getting some awesome reviews and letters of rec. Bond with other interns: All of you interns are in the same boat and same position, and while it may not seem “cool” or optimal to get all buddy-buddy with people that you have to work with, you never know when the connections might come in handy, or what friendships might be born. This doesn’t mean you have to be best friends with all of the interns, but if you take the time to get to know them, your future might just thank you for it. Students love helping each other out, especially when it’s about scoring an awesome job, so do good now and good will come to you later. unsplash.com Be quick on your feet: A lot of internships require you to dive in and sort of learn as you go. You might get a bit of training, but after that, you are expected to get your work done and figure it out, and also ask questions if you get lost. This is really valuable for when you go and get your job in the future, because your degree will give you the knowledge to work there, but you might not have all the skills under your belt yet. You’ll have to learn as you go, be quick on your feet, and show that you can watch and learn quickly. You can talk about this during a job interview, and prove that you are the right one to hire because you learned how to pick things up quickly during your internship. These are just a few ways to really squeeze everything you can out of your internship experience. Definitely make sure to get at least one or two of them under your belt before you graduate, to boost that resume and your confidence in the field.

To be or Not to be, Math is the Question

To be or Not to be, Math is the Question I always found the history of mathematics and the mathematicians themselves far more interesting than the actual math. I have never really figured out if this is because Im lousy at math or that I just do not have enough interest to make great strides into the ever advancing world of mathematics? I must admit that my math chops improved as I received a degree in it 4 years ago at the tender age of 55. However I cannot take credit for this achievement because I graduated from Venice High school in 1971 boasting that the highest math course I took there was called “senior math”.  I believe that course was for the “we are NOT going to college” kids. So when I sat down for my first college math course, which actually was a high school math course on a college campus with college prices, I had trouble grasping concepts. My first question to the instructor was; “How can a negative multiplied by a negative be positive?!” This made no sense at all. So you can see I was off to a great start on my mathematical journey. My biggest surprise about mathematicians was that many of the old school guys were also philosophers. I thought one of the things I’d like best about philosophy was that there were no wrong answers. Boy was I wrong.  â€œSymbolic logic” proved that!  I remember raising my hand and asking one of my professors if he ever noticed that an awful lot of mathematicians had troubled lives.  â€œAll professions have many members’ with troubled lives”, he said, defensively.  I thought well, this would explain my life. The main reason I was lifted onto this fast track to the world of higher math was simply because my major was Computer Science, and any Comp. Sci. student will tell you there is an awful lot of math required there. And I mean awful. Now please kids don’t allow me to discourage you on math because it is an incredible and very honorable scholastic path to embark upon. Some of the most amazing figures in world history were math guys.  Bill Gates for one. Oops, he dropped out didn’t he? Oh well. You get the point. There is always Descartes, Pascal, Einstein, and Wagner, to name a few.  Most of them graduated, I think? Either way these men changed the direction of the evolution of mankind.  Mathematics has been able to explain the universe and all that we see and all that we are. Except time, they still cant explain time! Maybe that’s why I always seem to be late. Now the real point to this diatribe is this; I could have never passed “Differential Equations”, “Numerical Analysis”, or “Combinatorial Algorithms” without some major help.  And my last year plus, of university work, I was helped by a tutor from (yes, you guessed it) TutorZ.com. Now this guy, from TutorZ, could have taught “Combinatorial Algorithms”. This is what my professor told me. So when I walked away from all that with an   “A” , I mean heh! That’s not bad? Right?

The Nature of Volatility

The Nature of VolatilityDefine volatility. It is like some common characteristic that is not fixed but rather changes with the fluctuation of market performance. This means that there is no constant market performance and thus there is no consistency to the nature of the market.The best thing for you to understand when trying to define volatility in the market is the reason that there is no state or authority of stability to the market. And this creates the environment of volatility, which can cause an impact on the market that is beyond what we can predict. It means that we are unable to predict the price changes that occur during the course of the day.What you can try to do as a trader or even an investor is to learn how the market behaves. You can also get the facts by reading market reports. If you have a background in learning about volatility then you are all set to understand this volatile behavior of the market.As mentioned earlier, this behavior is not consistent in the mark et. There is no entity that is perceived to be the control of the market. And this means that the price or the trend can change without the knowledge of the person that is conducting the trading activity.So how is volatility defined? It is like the lack of truth that causes the market to become more volatile and unpredictable than anything else. As much as we as traders or even investors want this to be consistent then we will see it changing at various points.When traders or investors come across volatility, they tend to lose their nerve because of the nature of the market that is observed. They are unable to manage the profit from the trade in a short term. If you are in the business of trading then you know that the most important part of your trading is to limit the risk so that you do not lose your investments.So, now you have understood the concept of volatility in the market. Now you need to look at the short term effect of volatility on the market. You can assess how the mar ket behaves in relation to the changes of the volatility.

What is it Like to Attend Arizona State University

What is it Like to Attend Arizona State University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Jeffrey is a Philadelphia tutor who specializes in Chemistry tutoring, Algebra tutoring, AP Biology tutoring, and much more. He graduated from Arizona State University in 2011 with a Bachelors degree in Psychology. Check out his review of his alma mater: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Jeffrey: The Tempe campus is a beautiful suburban campus right off of Tempe Town Lake. Though hot during the summer, most first-year students rely on walking/biking/skateboarding around campus. Older students and commuters typically live off campus within driving range. Some bus routes and more useful light rail routes provide decent mass transit options to and from the campus and even to the downtown campus. Campus safety is pretty well maintained with only some minor theft incidences and rare assaults every year both on campus and nearby off-campus areas. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Jeffrey: Faculty and staff availability varies widely depending on programs and classes. I had many wonderful professors and TAs who had great office hours and went above and beyond to help every student who needed it. I also had professors who barley seemed to realize that teaching involved interactions with students at all. Advisers and staff varied greatly as well. Big programs like Psychology and Biology involved well in advance scheduling in order to get any face time with an adviser and usually the meetings seemed rushed. Though that isnt to say I didnt get some great advice and help when I really needed it and knew where/who to go to. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Jeffrey: I spent all four years of my time at ASU living in the dorms both as a resident and as an RA (CAs at ASU). The rooms run the range of roomy, comfy, and huge, to tiny, musty, and prison-like. Of course, the nice, new dorms (Hassayampa, Barrett Honors Dorms) are extremely expensive, while the not so desirable dorms (anything in North campus) are more reasonable. The dining options are overpriced and a bit forced. During my time there, I never fully enjoyed the dining hall options, with the possible exception of the new Barrett Hall dining which of course cost more. The good news is they offer options that allow you to largely avoid the dinning halls and instead buy food from the Markets and various campus restaurants. Socialization is hard to avoid as there are countless clubs, communities, and activities going on seemingly every hour of every day. Needless to say, you shouldnt have any trouble making friends and having fun on campus. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Jeffrey: The Business School gets all the love, mostly due to President Crows bias and plentiful support from private sources. ASU also had decent support for its successful Nursing and Broadcasting Schools. I was in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) majoring in Psychology with a Biochemistry minor. I came into ASU wanting to study the brain, hence the Psych major, and then realized I wanted a bit more science in my life and picked up the Biochemistry minor. The Psychology department was huge and well-run, as were the Biochemistry/Chemistry departments. Chemistry support for students was amazing with many study aids, TAs, tutors, and just about anything else one could need to pass scary classes like O-Chem, P-Chem, and Biochem. The Biology department to a lesser extent had decent support. Though I have heard the Bio department has improved since I graduated. VT: 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? Jeffrey: Social life was almost too easy at ASU. Apart from the typical social atmosphere cultivated within the dorms, the campus is flush with many events geared toward having fun and meeting new people. Of course, there are also the unsponsored social events that naturally go on both on and off campus throughout the week. Football games are also, in my opinion, the best way to socialize. Greek life has, and Im sure always will have, some role at ASU. Though many steps have been taken by various people both within and outside of the school administration to drastically limit the negative effects that have come with our Greek life history. This includes both completely kicking out all of the on-campus fraternity houses and stricter enforcement of fraternity suspensions. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Jeffrey: The Career Center is somewhat helpful, but most of the resources that many students use are directly through their departments/programs. There are many great companies that recruit on campus, but I dont have experience with them since they mostly recruit the more business-related majors. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Jeffrey: The libraries and student union are always popular places to be. The MU (memorial union) is huge but still always full, though finding a table during lunch isnt impossible since there is ample seating outside as well. The libraries are a bit hit or miss. The main library seems to be a magnet for students who want to look like they are studying while they socialize, which is very frustrating for those actually studying. The Engineering and Science specific libraries are therefore the places to go if you actually want to get work done. Some dorms provide decent lounges for studying but those are at the whim of how quiet your fellow residents are. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Jeffrey:The area immediately surrounding campus can be very fun. Mill Avenue is just a block or two from campus and is one of the two major nightlife scenes in the Valley. There are also some very good restaurants, both fast and sit-down, within walking distance of campus. With on campus light rail stops, downtown is also easily accessible. Though not many students go downtown outside of heading down to see a ball game or visiting a museum. We also have the Gammage Auditorium right on campus that has national tours of big popular musicals/shows throughout the year. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Jeffrey: Huge. Last I heard, we were still going back and forth with OSU for the biggest campus size in the country. With that huge size came packed classes. The biggest class I took had 750 students in it. The smallest class I had was still around 15 students. So, it does take some getting used to. I would have liked to have smaller classes, but the sizes become much smaller once you get into the 300-400 level classes more specialized in your major. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Jeffrey: I think by far the best experience has to be my entire year spent taking Organic Chemistry I/II. Yes, I know this is insane, but Dr. Ian Gould is seriously the best Chemistry professor in the world. He was helpful beyond what any student could expect, posting all classes hours online after the class (which was at 7:30 AM, and yes, it was still worth it!). He also ran weekly review sessions every Saturday and at least three review sessions before every test. Most importantly, he actually made the challenging subjects very fun to learn and study. Luckily, he was not the only professor who seemed to make everything about learning fun. I have to say my Biochemistry professor, Dr. Redding, was nearly as amazing as Dr. Gould, while many other professors shared great enthusiasm and dedication to helping students succeed.
