Top Guest Blogs Writing Advice for College Students With exam time round-the-corner, students are anxiously doing their last minute preparations and revisions to beat each other in the rat-race. Here are some study tips that would help you get an edge over others no matter what age-group you belong to. We give you a clear picture of where you are, where you’d like to go, and chalk out a plan for how to get there.

    While caging yourself in the library might be tried and tested formula of ensuring a decent performance in an exam, we have compiled a list of study tips to help you develop a learning strategy besides allowing you to achieve your study goals.

    1. Set a goal: Be clear about the things you want to achieve. Just make sure to set realistic goals. Accordingly, you can aim to develop your study plan for the year ahead with your goals in mind.
    2. Chalk out a study plan: Time is priceless. The only way to combat pre-exam jitters is planning well in advance. This will help you get organised and make the most of your time. As the famous saying goes, “Fail to prepare and be prepared to fail”, so it’s better to be well-prepared before you appear in any test.
    3. Be Tech savvy: Online tools, social media, informative videos, mobile apps and blogs are at your disposal. So use them wisely. Online learning is a fad among the gen X and if used wisely can be of immense help!
    4. ‘Test’ of time: Deal with the exam pressure way before the main exam. Create a real exam environment and practice with regular tests. This is a great way to memories important formulas, facts, names, key dates etc.
    5. Collaboration is the key: Select a few diligent pals and get together every few days to revise what you have studied earlier. You can also use online mediums to form a group and discuss notes with each other.
    6. Time-Management: It is not the amount of time you spend studying that counts. It’s about how much you accomplish during that time. Spending 18 hours of your day being a bookworm and scoring abysmal is futile. Learn to manage your time well to capitalize on your results.
    7. Tell a tale: Everybody likes stories. They help us comprehend and memorise key details too. The same can be applied to your studies by weaving important facts into a story. The more ridiculous you make it, the better. It sounds crazy but it’s worth a shot.
    8. Write and shout it out: It’s scientifically proven that if you write important facts, you tend to comprehend it better. Besides, reading notes out loud, helps you memorize important details in two ways: visualizing it and hearing it.
    9. Gimme a break: In order to maintain an optimum level of concentration, distressing is very important. Taking regular short breaks help improve your focus besides boosting your productivity.
    10. De-stress is the formula: It’s a proven fact that meditation can reduce anxiety and boost attention span. It won’t hurt to spend 10 minutes in a day to meditate and combat those pre-test jitters.

    On January 1st, we started a new twitter account to focus on SEO and inbound marketing – @SEOMyTownTutor! We are hoping to connect with other small businesses that see the value in using twitter to make solid connections. We also are looking to business interested in targeting marketing who might be interested in sponsoring a page on our website.
    For close to 2 months we followed aggressively an reached 538 followers. The problem was we followed 1,400 accounts.
    This is not a great ratio and many twitter users will view our account poorly. So we decided to do the unthinkable, unfollow to zero. We are going to start our 3rd month following only a few accounts.

    There has been a major disconnect since their inceptions between theory, research and instructional application in structural learning (e.g., Scandura, 1971, 1973, 1977) and in what later became known as cognitive science (e.g., Brown & Burton, 1978, Anderson, 1988). With few exceptions (e.g., Scandura, Koedinger,Mitrovic & Ohlsson & Paquette, 2009), most of this work has been done in isolation.
    Consequently, many ITS researchers have a basic misconception of SLT and its now proven benefits in developing and delivering dynamically adaptive tutoring systems (e.g., Scandura, 2013b). Because the general goals are similar, many investigators use the same lens to evaluate what are fundamentally different paradigms.

    One of the great appeals of MyTownTutors is that it fosters a great relationship between parents and tutors, which is something we’re trying to replicate with Coach. And after recently surveying almost 300 tutors on how they’re participating in the online tutoring trend, I was able to ask a few other questions, including what tutors look for from the parents of their students.

    Parents are often asked what they look for from tutors, but I thought it would be interesting (and it was) to hear from the other side (the tutor).

    When I first reached out to Pranoy and Rowan (both are tutors on Coach), they were both surprised and delighted to hear that I wanted to talk to them about what they’re looking for from parents, as it’s not a topic that’s often spoken about. Normally the tutor has to take whatever comes their way from the parent being that it’s a service industry, so each of them was excited to share their thoughts.

    In an effort to increase communication and happiness between tutors and parents, here’s what they said:

    #1: Set expectations and goals beforehand

    It’s up to the tutor to reasonably set expectations of what they demand from the parent, but the parent might not have realistic expectations.

    “The tutor can be working their butt off, but if the student is not taking to it for some reason, that’s not necessarily the tutor’s fault,” Rowan says.

    The risk is two-fold: You’ve got certain situations where the parent is scared because they need to make sure that their kid will make progress, but they’re also worried that the kid is not making progress fast enough. This leads to the parent getting really nervous about progress and then the tutor feeding off that nervousness because they feel as if they have to perform.

    “They now feel as if their performance has to be higher and everyone gets worked up and the kid suffers,” Rowan adds.

    One tactic Rowan suggests is letting the parent know that you require “x” amount of commitment from a student and then if the parent doesn’t think it’s going to work, then you (the tutor) can recommend someone else.

    “A lot of this can be settled beforehand by spending ten minutes off the books to discuss what the common goals are, so they can understand each other’s position,” Rowan tells me about having a frank and open conversation with the parents of his students.

    #2: Remember that parents and tutors are on the same team

    “It’s often an adversarial relationship if you let it get out of control,” Rowan tells me, but it doesn’t have to be. Parents and tutors need to be on the same page because they have a common goal in mind. It’s a relationship that needs to be built on mutual respect.

    The relationship between parent and tutor will begin to splinter if the parent doesn’t trust the tutor and starts to side with their kid over them. That’s easier said than done, but that’s why it’s important to remember that you’re on the same team.

    #3: Open communication between parent and tutor

    Keeping an open dialogue throughout a tutoring engagement is important. One thing that parents can do is to routinely ask the tutor how the student is doing. Rowan sees problems occurring in the relationship between parent and student when the parent feels cut off from discussion.

    Pranoy thinks communication is the most important part: “I prefer to have a lot of open communication. I hate to be thrown curve balls. I hate to hear that a student has a test only a day before. The parents need to be on top their kids with what they have to do and then communicate it to me in a timely manner.”

    To that end, Pranoy is comfortable with all forms of communication: text, email, and phones, but prefers texting and emailing over calling. Pranoy adds, “I don’t prefer calling, because I can’t always pick up and then the parent gets frustrated.”

    Part of great communication is that parents need to understand a tutor’s timing. Tutors are always on the run and they have other students. Pranoy tells me: “We try very hard to be flexible, but our schedule can’t evolve around the parents. Please give us as much advanced notice as possible. Don’t call me last second. Just book time with me on Coach.”

    Let’s put these best practices into play!

    What it comes down to it, here’s what tutors are looking for from the parents of their students:

    • Parents to help set and have reasonable expectations

    • Mutual respect between parents and tutors

    • Remember that parents and tutors are on the same team

    • Keep an open and active dialogue between tutors and parents

    When these best practices are observed, the parent and tutor will have a great relationship and their student will be more successful as a result.

    How to Divide Playing Time?

    Coaching a competitive travel team, involves distributing playing time. The big question for a coach and one whose answer will never keep everyone (or perhaps anyone) happy is “What is FAIR playing time?”. There are many different philosophies regarding this question. Is fair equal? Should different players start each game? If playing time is not equal, how much should the better players play? What is the amount of time the less talented players should receive?

    On an ideal travel team, most of the players will have similar skills and a high level of commitment so the playing time can be relatively equal. The reality is that on many teams there is a wide range of skills and ability in addition to varied levels of commitment.

    When determining playing time there are a few things that should be looked at 1st.

    What is the league policy? Are the mandatory minimum playing time rules for the league. One 4th grade travel A league has the following guideline:

    There are no minimum playing time rules. However, this is a development program and it is hoped that all players get playing time.

    As a coach looking for guidance, there is no help here. Playing time is completely up to the coach. If a coach has a win-at-all-cost attitude. He can play his best players for the majority of the game.

    What is the town policy? Very often if a league does not have a set rule, the town may. My town has the following expectation:

    The Board of Directors has a 25% of the game playing time expectation (8 minutes / 32 minute game). One board member explained to me his playing time ranges “from 9 or 10 minutes to 20 minutes.

    Another town (or league) might institute an equal playing time rule. The players may receive a number and the coach will simply rotate the players in 5 at a time based on the numbered system.

    Possible Options

    Unless there are clear guidelines by the league or the town, the coaches will ultimately decide how the playing time is distributed. There are many ways to distribute playing time and a coach can try different options to see which one is the best for his team.

    Playing time can be seen like a political spectrum ranging from liberal (even playing time for all players) to conservative (we need to win, so the best players are going to play!). Age, experience and competitiveness of the league will all be factors in deciding a philosophy.

    #1 Even playing time (Equal Playing Time Rotation Sheet): This is the philosophy that perhaps is the easiest and the one that will receive the least resistance from parents. A coach can just simply assign each player a number and follow a numbered system. The coach will make substitutions after a set amount of time (3 – 4 minutes). The coach can start over each game with the #1 player, or he can be truly equal and continue the rotation for the entire season.

    Pros: Even playing time allows for player development for all the players. There also will be very few parent complaints. The better players might raise a concern, but the majority of parents will be happy with even playing time.

    Cons: The team will be less competitive and will be at a disadvantage when playing teams that play their better kids more. Although all players will develop, the better kids will not receive the playing time that may have been earned through working hard (camps, AAU), being committed, and improving in practice. It also may be difficult to balance the line-up with guards and forwards.

    #2 Merit Play: Following 25% (or minimum) playing time expectation: This philosophy divide the playing time based on skill level, commitment, and ability to perform in a game. The coach can set a rotation where the weakest players receive the league minimum (or a little more) and the other players receive more playing time based on skill level.

    Pros: The team will be more competitive team. The better players will get more opportunities and will have a chance to develop chemistry on the floor.

    Cons: The less talented players may get discouraged and display a poor attitude. Parents will not be happy with their son not getting as much playing time as other players. In the long run, player development is the main goal. Players will grow, attend camps, and will improve. It is difficult at a young age to put all your eggs in one basket by identifying the players who you think will be better down the road.

    #3 Combination of the two (a middle ground): This maybe the best option for some coaches. For two quarters (1st and one other), the top players can receive more playing (60 % – 40%). During the other two periods, the coach can give equal playing time.

    Pros: By playing the better kids more in the 1st period, a coach can see how competitive the team is. It is a good test to see how the top 5 players play against the opposing team’s starters. It also keeps the less talented players (and parents) happy.

    The better players will get more opportunities and will have a chance to develop chemistry on the floor.

    Cons: The team does not have the best chance of winning, however with youth sports, winning should not be the most important factor. Having fun and player development should take precedence over winning.
