This Reading Program Completer Gained Confidence from Kumon

This Reading Program Completer Gained Confidence from Kumon This Reading Program Completer Gained Confidence from Kumon Ankit, 11-years-old, Math Level L Reading Program Completer Considered to be one of the most influential scientists of the 20th Century, Albert Einstein’s work paved the way for future groundbreaking discoveries and continues to inspire young scientists to make an impact on the world we live in today. He said, “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” 11-year-old Kumon Student Ankit not only looks to Einstein for inspiration, but he also embodies his natural sense of wonder, and never stops questioning the unknown. For Ankit, his learning doesn’t stop when the school bell rings at the end of the day. His curiosity leads him to dive into books to try to understand the way the universe works. With a dream of becoming a physicist, Ankit credits Kumon for giving him the confidence and ability to learn independently. “In Kumon, I’ve become more independent and this applies out of the classroom as well,” said Ankit. “I’ve also learned that my success relies on me, and no one else. To be successful and to help you move forward, you have to truly understand the formulas behind things and how they work. Kumon has given me the ability to think that way.” Ever since Ankit enrolled in Kumon when he was just five years old, he has been focused on the goals that lie ahead. Before entering middle school, Ankit successfully completed the Kumon Reading Program. His love for reading was fueled by Kumon, and he can now say he has already analyzed high school level literature. Determined to also complete the Kumon Math Program, Ankit is impressively working with logarithmic equations and developing skills to solve derivatives. Ankit has taken his knowledge to the competitive level. He was selected to represent his school at the 2018-2019 North Carolina Science Fair and was awarded Honorable Mention for his work. When he is not coming up with a new scientific discovery, Ankit enjoys writing and maintaining a blog comprised of poems, short stories, and even has a book in the works! “I want to be a physicist when I grow up because I want to find out the secrets and the workings of the universe,” said Ankit. “I also want to be a writer because I want to create worlds like the ones in the sci-fi books I read.” What do you enjoy most about Kumon? I enjoy the independence that Kumon has given me. It gives me the ability to learn concepts on my own. It doesn’t outright give me the answer. Instead, it drops little hints that lead me to the main goal and leave the rest for me. If you ask for help, the Instructor will lead you, not tell you. How has Kumon helped you academically? Kumon has helped me study several grades’ worth of material in less than a year, and as a result, helps me learn material years before I even see it in school. Combine that with the independence I’ve gained and focus skills, other subjects like social studies or science also benefit. What’s the most beneficial thing you’ve learned in Kumon? I feel that the most helpful thing I’ve learned (and am still learning) is how important it is to not get distracted from your work. It’s important to concentrate as hard as your mind can, and not allow yourself to be distracted from the background noise. If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? Kumon has helped me find a world where Shakespearean plays are a daily indulgence, and numbers don’t always represent values. Before I started, I imagined I had a molehill in front of me. Now, the mist has cleared, and I can see a mountain. I’ve realized that if I could go up to the end of high school mathematics while I am only ending elementary school, there’s so much more potential that lies ahead of me. My one word would be: “Insightful.” Who is your biggest inspiration and why? One of my main inspirations is Albert Einstein. Most people would think that I’m inspired by him because he persisted even while his teachers told him that he couldn’t do anything. He sought to find a new way of thinking about the universe and physics, even when there were barely any studies about space before him. He inspires me because he was able to find something new â€" an original idea. What’s your favorite book and why? I have 200+ books in my bedroom, so you can probably guess why it’s hard for me to find one favorite. After carefully picking, I chose Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials by James Dashner. There are a lot of reasons why I call this book one of my favorites. First, I like it because it isn’t a fairy tale. In fact, the main characters even get captured in the end. Overall it is a great read and I highly recommend it! How did you feel when you found out you were selected to attend the 2019 Kumon Student Conference?   I felt elated! It was satisfying to see how hard work pays off in the end. What was your experience like at the 2019 Kumon Student Conference, and what was your favorite part? At the Student Conference, I felt a sense of belonging to be with other so similar, yet different, Kumon Students and high achievers. I was inspired by the stories of former Kumon Students and their success. My favorite part was the Mummy Game, in which we had to work as a group to solve clues and puzzles to find an “exit.” What advice would you give to kids just starting Kumon? It might seem boring or hard, but if you pursue the work at your own pace and set goals for yourself, you will find yourself yearning for progress and learning.

American International School of Freetown

American International School of Freetown American International School of Freetown The American International School of Freetown is the only US Embassy sponsored school in Sierra Leone. In 1986, the US Embassy requested permission of the Sierra Leone government to establish a school to educate the children of the diplomatic staff of the official US Mission. Since then the student body has grown more diverse in nationalities and now includes children from many countries, including Sierra Leone. AISF has always been a small school, averaging a population of 70 in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8. The school is accredited in good standing by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and offers a US curriculum based on recognized US educational standards. Curriculum is enriched, especially in the early years, with resources and teaching techniques from the UK. The facility on approximately 3 hectares was designed originally for the British colonial government and later the British High Commission. Our location is high in the hills above the sea and commands panoramic views. While adequate for our size there is limited area for outdoor sports. Classrooms are spacious and well furnished. All educational resources are imported from the US and the UK. Technology is fully integrated into teaching and learning from grade 2 to grade 8, featuring 1:1 iPads and a BYOD program from grades 4 to 8. SierraLeone is an extremely small and economically poor West African nation, which has suffered greatly in the past 25 years from civil war and then the recent West African Ebola epidemic. Recovery is coming slowly and most diplomatic and aid organizations have lifted their bans on allowing dependents. AISF opened this past September with 20 students and has grown to 31 children. We expect 50 to 60% growth in the coming school year. The school uses blended multi-age and grade classes with highly skilled differentiation. Each expatriate teacher has a qualified, trained teaching assistant, and in the early years programs there are two assistants. Class size in 2016/2017 is estimated at 10 children in a combined class. AISF needs strong, dedicated educators, rich in imagination and committed to a team approach.

Chemistry Placement Test Review

Chemistry Placement Test ReviewWhen I was in college, I had a test I took in chemistry that was dreaded by many students. That test was the AP Chemistry Placement Test, and although it is not the most difficult exam to get an A in, it is not exactly the easiest one to get an A+ in either. Not surprisingly, many students find it intimidating, while others have already studied all they can about chemistry and are confident they know what they are doing with that test.Chemicals react in chemical reactions in order to give us food, clothing, electricity, water, and other useful items. All of these things rely on chemical reactions to be done. It is the ability to predict chemical reactions accurately and correctly that allows us to effectively use chemistry as a tool to aid us in our lives.You might say to yourself that this sounds easy, but how do you actually calculate the chemical reaction? Well, luckily for you, there is a chemistry placement test review that will teach you all the s teps necessary to calculate a chemical reaction. We will walk you through the steps of chemical analysis from beginning to end, covering chemical reactions, definitions, understanding the units used, and explaining the molecules that make up the chemical reaction. After we finish, you should be able to successfully calculate the correct solution for any chemical reaction you encounter during a laboratory assignment.To prepare for your chemistry placement test, we suggest that you use the reviews we provide as a guide, but that you use them to develop your own strategies for calculating reactions. In addition, if you are looking for a very thorough and detailed review, then we strongly recommend that you find a chemical chemistry review that provides detailed step-by-step details, so that you can maximize your learning and start applying those techniques right away.As far as our reviews go, most of them can be found online, and you may need to do some research before you locate one t hat meets your needs.A good place to start is to look at the listings of different review sites, and compare the reviews there to determine which sites are the best suited for your needs.Tests like this will be designed to teach you what is needed to know, and how to use those skills to pass the AP Chemistry Placement Test. This test should be challenging, but not too much so, so as long as you study the review materials, follow the tips, and practice what you learn on tests, you should do fine.The reviews we provide are free and may need to be used to help you prepare for the test, but they are free, and may be well worth the time and effort. If you do not have the time or resources to study or practice, then we strongly recommend that you find a review that is worth the time and money and help you prepare for the AP Chemistry Placement Test with confidence.

Chemistry Practice Test - Where to Find a Good One?

Chemistry Practice Test - Where to Find a Good One?If you are looking for a chemistry practice test, then you are probably having difficulty finding one. You will find a number of sources online that offer high quality free practice tests.However, I have discovered that the best way to make sure that your sample chemistry test is good is to consult a chemistry tutor. A tutor is a person who is licensed and has experience in taking chemistry tests. This can be important because you want a tutor who can tell you how to pass your sample test.How do you go about getting a tutor? You may be surprised that a website such as this is really the best place to look to find a tutor.With this kind of resource you can get the information you need to pass a chemistry test. Plus, you will be able to get help finding the right tutor for you.Another reason to visit this site is because they also have the answers to questions you may have. You don't have to worry about an individual answering your que stions or simply finding a website that offers help.Having a tutor is not a guarantee that you will pass a free chemistry practice test. It does show that a good chemistry tutor knows how to get the best out of the test so that you can move on to the real thing.I have used both ways to find a good chemistry test. Getting help from a student or a tutor is the only way to ensure that you know what you are doing. This is especially true for a free sample test.

How To Learn Hindi On Your Own

How To Learn Hindi On Your Own A Guide To Learning  Hindi On Your Own Chapters1. Look For Some Resources, Even If They Are Free2. Don't Give Up Too Quickly3. Travel To IndiaAcquiring a whole new set of foreign grammar and vocabulary on your own is always going to be a challenge, but there are ways to keep up the momentum up and to stay on track with learning your new second language, whether you decide to use an intensive learning method or take it at a slower pace.If you opt for language courses or for online language lessons, then you will find that your tutor will follow a specific course or line of study, almost like studying towards a curriculum at school.You'll most probably start with the Hindi alphabet, learn basic Hindi words and phrases like greetings, then move onto adjectives and more complex grammatical rules, like Hindi vocabulary and how to conjugate verbs in the present tense. Along with one-to-one tuition, you'll also be expected to do some level of guided self-study to advance your knowledge before the next lesson.An example of the ty pes of the things you might be asked to brush up on in your own time is learning which common words or nouns are masculine and which are feminine.However, if you choose not to go for lessons with a private tutor, whether for financial reasons or for another justification, then you may be wondering where to start on your journey towards learning a new language like Hindi. This Indian language, like many other languages, simply needs to be tackled with common sense.Learning Hindi is not as hard as you might think!Be sure to plan your unique programme of study so that you have a path to follow and don't get lost. Photo credit: rhodesj on VisualhuntStart by writing down your main priorities for learning the language - is it for work purposes, or to better understand the Indian culture? It may be neither, but it is important to know in your head what you want to gain from the lessons and try to create a structured programme of study for yourself using the learning tools at your disposal. Alongside signing up for online courses, you may wish to look around yourself for some helpful resources which will help you to progress in Hindi without needing to rely on others or on a specific curriculum.   Below we will explore some of the best ways of learning Hindi using the resources that are out there - most of which can be found for free - and offering the best tips we can on how to succeed.If you can learn a few new words or Hindi phrases every few minutes thanks to apps, dictionaries, websites and more, just think what you could learn in a few weeks or even a year if you put your mind to it!

Look For Some Resources, Even If They Are FreeFirstly, you simply cannot learn this language without using some resources. If you don't want to spend money on books and student guides, then you can opt for free language resources like the lessons found on the BBC website, for example, or the many free apps out there like language learning app Duolingo.Alternatively, if you want to immerse yourself in the Hindi language then see if you can get hold of some newspapers or books for Hindi communities. Newspaper articles are good practice when it comes to reading and interpreting because the content is usually quite basic and easily understood by foreigners. Should you choose to buy yourself some books written in Hindi script, then you may want to start off with books aimed at younger audiences fi rst and then work your way up to more complicated stories or accounts.Listening is key when trying to study a language.As well as written resources, you should never forget to find tools that help you listen to spoken Hindi. To hear natives talking in Hindi (remember, however, that the different regions have different dialects so be sure to stick to one form of Hindi wherever possible), is one of the best ways to learn how to speak Hindi fluently or at least with proficiency.To listen to the official language being spoken by a native speaker and to tune your listening skills to the correct pronunciation for colloquial or conversational Hindi, try tuning into an Indian radio station or finding a TV channel dedicated to Hindi speakers. Most people with Sky TV will have access to such programmes broadcast in India which means you can watch a range of programmes broadcast in the official language of India, Akshay Kumar style Bollywood programmes included!2. Don't Give Up Too QuicklyAs a solo learner, it can be really easy to become despondent and lose all faith in your ability to pick up the language and its unique expressions.If you get off to a slow start, then don't get down about it. It is probably just down to the fact that you are still learning how to learn Hindi, whereas others who are being led by a language instructor will have the advantage of being led down the easiest path for their level - whether beginner or intermediate.If you struggle to pick up key phrases, then take a step back and try to break the language down into smaller, more digestible chunks.For instance, go back to the start and learn how to conjugate your basic verbs, revise nouns and their gender, and build up your learning from here.As most people will only need a second language to speak to others in conversation, don't get weighed down by the details like what a pronoun is, mastering all the tenses, or how to identify an idiom, for instance. A few basic sayings like 'How are you?', 'Do you speak English?', and 'Where are you from?' are good places to start, as well as the days of the week and Hindi numbers so you can ask about the time.Also, don't feel you have to pronounce every word just right, so long as the people, you are talking to can understand you then that's what counts. The fluency will come with more and more practice!Don't get stressed or weighed down with your studies, if a method isn't working then try another and don't give up.

3 Note-Taking Formats Every Student Should Try

3 Note-Taking Formats Every Student Should Try Note-taking is a critical skill that can boost academic success, reduce study time, and ease the process of completing assignments. However, many students are not certain about how to take notes or which style will work best for them. Here are some helpful tips to help you organize your notes. Below are three note-taking formats every student should try when searching for the most effective method. 1. Outline The outline is possibly the most common and familiar form of note-taking for students. The outline format is highly organized; the main topics act as headers, with accompanying details listed under them. With the outline format, pupils often use Roman numerals, an alphanumerical combination, or bullets. This type of note-taking is especially helpful in the scientific disciplines, where information is often intrinsically organized into categories and groups. In addition, this mode of note-taking can function quite well in classes where instructors lecture in a concise manner. Furthermore, the outline tends to be a beneficial way of recording notes when students read textbooks. However, outlines may not be effectual in demonstrating the way ideas are connected or when referencing abstract subjects. You may find this information on how to take notes in a college lectureuseful as well. 2. Web Another system of note-taking that many students find useful is the web. This is sometimes referred to as concept mapping, as well. On a web or concept map, ideas and facts are represented visually. While an outline is linear, a web is graphic. Main points are printed in bubbles, and associated ideas branch off the sides. Lines are customarily drawn between ideas in order to express the relationship between them. One benefit of utilizing the web technique is that it gives you the ability to show how diverse ideas are connected. This method of note-taking is particularly accommodating to those who are visual learners; many students discover that if they add color-coding to their webs, they can express their ideas even more effectively. The web is a wonderful technique to use when you must take notes quickly, or when you need to understand how different concepts are related. However, the web is not as useful for studying, nor is it always the preferred method when you must record numerous details. 3. Cornell method The Cornell method for note-taking is a system that functions remarkably for both taking notes and studying after lecture. To use this technique, you must divide your paper into three sections. First, fold the paper up approximately two inches from the bottom. Then, fold the left side over approximately three inches. When you unfold your paper, you should be able to see three sections. Make use of the spacious right-hand portion to take notes in whichever style works best for you, or use a combination of styles. Record all the detailed information on the right-hand side. On the left-hand side, list the main topics or essential points. Once you have finished taking notes, utilize the bottom section of your paper to create a brief summary of what you have learned from the lecture or reading. The advantage of the Cornell method is that you can juxtapose multiple note-taking formats in one. Additionally, by summarizing at the end of your notes, you force yourself to reflect on the text or lecture in its entirety. Once it is time to study, review for a test, or complete an assignment, both the summary and the left-hand column can assist you. Some students find that they prefer one note-taking format over another. Moreover, some subjects are better suited for one particular form of note-taking. Experiment with these three note-taking formatsto see which one works best for you. If you still cannot decide, consider asking an academic mentor like a tutoror a teacher or a for advice. Doing so could increase your academic success!
