Finding the Right Tutor For Your Child Care Provider

Finding the Right Tutor For Your Child Care ProviderIf you are looking for a tutor for your child care provider, then the first thing that you should do is research to find out about their credentials. You can also go through the website of any of the colleges and universities they are affiliated with so that you can get an idea of their level of expertise. If you have kids from other countries, make sure that you know about their language skills.Look for testimonials from people who have used their services. The key here is to gather all the relevant details of the tutor's services. Some of the requirements they must have include qualifications in education, teaching or childcare. They should be professionally qualified and registered with the National Association of Professional Tutors (NAPT). The NAPT is a professional association that oversees the qualification and licensing of professional tutors, professionals and instructors in the United States.Look for testimonials from pare nts. Parents and teachers alike should be able to give you a good review of the tutor's professionalism as well as his/her teaching approach. It will help you to judge if the tutor is working according to your expectations. Also look for reviews on how the tutors treated children and how they were helpful to the child.Look at the cost. If it costs more than your salary, then it may not be a good fit for your child or children. You should get a tutor that fits your budget.How long the child has been using the tutor. A child that has used a tutor for two or three years will not be suitable to a new parent or child care provider. You need a tutor that is going to help you to your child's benefit. Also, make sure that the tutor is qualified and registered with the NAPT so that you can be assured that you are getting quality services.Check the training of the tutor. The trainer should have a Master's degree in Child Care, Education or some related subject. Make sure that he/she has the n ecessary qualifications. Also, make sure that the trainer is properly certified.The tutor should be a good match for your child and your needs. Also, the tutor should be a person of integrity and considerate. He/she should listen to your ideas and suggestions.

Should you take your pet abroad with you

Should you take your pet abroad with you By Thiago SilvaPreparing to move in your own town can be daunting enough - now imagine having to pack everything and move to another country! When choosing to teach overseas most people get excited about the opportunity to have the adventure of a lifetime, and might overlook some of  the practical aspects of relocating.Aside from cancelling your cable and forwarding your mail, there are some important decisions to make when planning to move overseas. If you have a pet, for example, you should evaluate if the best option is to take Fido along or leave him with a relative or friend.Taking a pet overseas can be a costly and paper-work heavy endeavour as many countries will require vaccination certificates, and the airline may charge extra to transport the animal depending on their size. It is also stressful for most pets to travel long distances in a cage.The local culture at your destination should also be taken into account. In the Middle East, for example, it is not common for peopl e to own pets, so it is harder to do simple things such as finding pet food, or veterinary services.Other countries might have less strict requirements. Mona Lisa Wessel, who lived in Japan, mentioned in the Teach Away community page that she was able to transport her pet between Canada and Japan with relative ease.“Japan is very good about letting you bring in your pets if you can prove they have had their rabies shots within 60 days of arrival,” she said.You should also check if your chosen accommodation allows you to have pets, as many places will not allow pets, especially in situations where you are sharing accommodations with other teachers.Ultimately, it is a very personal decision whether bringing a pet overseas is the best option, but if you can’t live without your four-legged friend, you will have to do some research about the laws in your destination country and evaluate if the extra expense and time to care for the pet will not hinder your plans to save money and t ravel. You can read about other teachers’ experiences in taking pets abroad on Teach Away’s Facebook page and community forums.Thiago Silva is the  Teach Away  blogger.

Budgeting while teaching in Korea

Budgeting while teaching in Korea A lot of people will agree that one of the major reasons people choose to teach English in Korea is… the money. Of course, the culture, food, experience and all that is great too. But Korea is one of the few countries in the world that offers such great teaching contracts that require little to no teaching experience or qualifications. I taught in Korea for a year between 2013-2014 and it was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only did I grow as a person (cheesy, but true), I was also able to pay off about $6500 of my student debt and have cash for a 4 month backpacking stint across Southeast Asia. Today I’m sharing with you my personal spending habits and expenses from when I was living in Seoul, South Korea, so you get a better understanding of how much money you can expect to save and spend while you’re there. Of course, some of this will vary, but this is a general expectation for teachers who are about to embark on the Korea experience. You could save more or less depending on how frugal you are. Sure, you want to save money - but you’re also in a really interesting and exciting part of the world and there’s so much to do and see. Keep your spending in check but make sure to enjoy yourself and the money you’re working hard to earn. Income My average monthly income was $1650 USD per month. I was a university graduate with no teaching experience and I think this is pretty average for someone with similar experience and qualifications. While it’s possible to earn more, this was more than enough for me to live comfortably. Accommodation I lived in a small, studio apartment that was paid for by my school, with my bills/taxes/health insurance taken out of my pay every month. To be honest, I can’t remember how much it all cost but it was never more than $150 in total. Transit Thanks to the convenient location of my apartment, I walked to work everyday and only used transit on the weekends. With the subway costing about $1 per ride, I probably spent a maximum of $20 a month for the subway. Phone $0 - Can you believe I survived an entire year without a phone plan? Thanks to wifi being so widespread in Seoul I got by just fine without a phone plan and just connected my iPhone to wifi whenever I needed. Groceries I spent an average of $326/month on groceries and that included some specialty, expensive “foreign” food like cheese and avocados because hey - I like that stuff! Shopping I was able to feed my shopping addiction with about $250/month. Entertainment My partying and entertainment spending was around $225/month (this also included weekend trips). I mostly went out with friends for drinks/karaoke on the weekends and didn’t do much during the week because a) I was lazy and b) didn’t finish work until around 8:30pm. Miscellaneous I also spent about $100 on miscellaneous things per month and this number fluctuated a fair bit. Stuff like haircuts, prescription medication, gym memberships, taxis and gifts were thrown into this category. Eating Out Coffee, snacks, fast food and an occasional dinner out made up this category and I spent about $60 a month. Total Savings per Month Income $1650 Accommodation $0 Transit $20 Phone $0 Groceries $326 Shopping $250 Entertainment $225 Misc. $100 Eating Out $60 Total savings/month $669 So there you have it! I had the most amazing time while I was teaching in Korea and would recommend the experience to anyone and everyone. So what are you waiting for? Check out our job board and start applying!

What Is RCC Tutoring Pay?

What Is RCC Tutoring Pay?RCC tutoring pay is calculated as the average weekly salary of a tutor. For example, if you have a position that requires weekly payments of $250, you would receive a stipend for that week of your salary. As there are many different tutors who can teach a large number of students, it is crucial to be aware of the exact rate of pay.Due to the online nature of the application process for an RCC tutor position, there is no 'hard' money involved. Thus, not all tutors will receive the same amount. It's always a good idea to submit a resume and cover letter to RCC, so that they may determine whether you're the best person for the job. Although they will contact you with pay, it is a good idea to get a feel for the rates of pay before approaching a new employer.The cost of the course itself is dependent on the region of the country where you live, but also on the program offered by RCC.

Your overall grades will be judged in the end.To receive a stipend, RCC tutors will offer to accept you for classes as long as you complete the program. It is advised that you take advantage of their generous payment options to supplement your other student-related expenses. A part-time income might be your best option to cover such thin gs as books, fees, and transportation.Tutoring Pay will not be a problem if you have adequate funds to cover the fees and other expenses.
