Tips for memorization

By Jennifer C. | 5/26/2013 10:08 AM CST |

I have found particularly with science but with other subjects as well that the cheesier you make a memory tactic the more likely it is to stick! For example: in anatomy I always say that the brain is the controller - therefore every one else heads to talk to him (via nerves) to do their job. We know that the body is composed of a whole bunch of cells - we can think of them as a communication network holding hands to relay messages to the brain too.

The easiest way to make things make sense is to have it make sense to you. If no one else understands what you are talking about but you get it...

Homework? Really? REALLY?

By Matthew S. | 10/15/2012 3:11 PM CST |

The moans and groans are audible! "Why do I have to do homework??"

Let me tell you why I assign additional work outside of a tutoring session ... It is my job to be sure that you are able to apply and integrate the materials we cover in addition to being able to absorb facts and information. Sometimes what I call 'homework' is nothing more than finding an article about the topic we are covering at the time and being ready to discuss it with me using the terms and concepts we have been going over. Sometimes it may be a question I want you to be thinking about over the next few days or week,...

A Tutor with an attitude of patience and good listening skills.

By Doreen D. | 5/15/2012 11:47 AM CST |

Hi Friends:

Although retired from the medical field, I am qualified in several different subjects and I have gone through many certification processes to do so. At this stage in my life being a Tutor is so rewarding. Tutoring not only benefits the student but the Tutor as well. Learning is a daily process, and if we learn to focus on what our goals are day by day, then and then only, will we begin to accomplish them. I am prepared to Tutor your children, grandchildren and actually, children of all ages!

My experience is in various fields and here is a list of subjects that I am qualified...

I'm new to this site and can't wait to help you. Got questions? I got answers! Whether you need some simple study skills and techniques or if you have very specific problems in a subject, I can help. Let me show you how all these subjects work together and are not isolated disciplines that you're never going to use. I'll show you the relevance of each subject and how they're all integrated.

Your help

By Quinton C. | 12/19/2011 1:05 AM CST |

I have several areas of knowledge beyond the listed subjects. To be brief, I am available on weekends and after school hours, but usually tutor in a library or Starbucks. At home tutoring is okay as well, but sometimes I may be able to arrange to do this at a child's school, if I work there on that day as a substitute teacher.

Getting plenty of sleep EVERY NIGHT during the week of the big test.

Drinking plenty of water (some extra) for SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE the test, and enough during the test too, in small sips. (Having to go to the bathroom a lot is also stressful, so moderation is important here). They say most people don't drink nearly enough water. If we are even slightly dehydrated, it can cause the brain to slow down 10 to 20% or more, which makes a big difference on timed tests that require you to think QUICKLY.

Getting exercise, and the right mix of oxygen to the brain is so important. Exercise can also...

Your Brain Is Crying Out: "Say YES To NO"!

By Bruce H. | 8/13/2011 1:19 PM CST |

Nutrition

As this new academic year approaches, begin your studies successfully by providing your brain with the proper dietary nutrition needed to enhance concentration, thinking ability, and recall.

A very small molecule, nitric oxide (NO), is produced in the body from the amino acids arginine and citrulline. Both are provided in ample amounts in many of the types of foods emphasized in my factsheets "The Maximum Mental Health Diet". WyzAnt clients receive a complimentary copy of this information at the first tutoring session. I follow these recommendations, myself, and have observed positive results...
