3 Ways To Work with an LSAT Tutor

3 Ways To Work with an LSAT Tutor LSAT Law School Blog There are many ways to have a great experience with an LSAT tutor. The key is to decide what role you want the tutor to play in your LSAT preparation. One sure-fire way to have a bad experience is to develop a certain set of expectations, not communicate those expectations to your tutor, and then become frustrated as the sessions come and go and you aren’t getting what you expected from the relationship. As you think about hiring an LSAT tutor, it can be a good idea to keep three tutor “archetypes” in mind. Obviously, your tutor might be a bit of a combination of these three archetypes, but if you read through the three descriptions below and identify better with one than the others, then you can communicate those expectations to your tutor (and choose the right tutor in the first place). Three Ways to Work with an LSAT Tutor Here are the three types of LSAT tutors that students typically seek: 1. Guide/Mentor Tutor Your tutor is with you every step of the way in your LSAT prep process. In your first meeting you craft a personal study plan with the tutor. Your tutor helps you stay on track with the study plan by assigning homework and checking in regularly. You and your tutor meet on a regular basis, at least once a week, to work on developing your skills. You modify your study plan periodically to reflect your growth as you progress through the study plan. This type of tutor works best for students who have lots of time before the LSAT and like have formal structure to their tutoring relationships. Note of caution â€" if you’re looking for this type of tutoring relationship, and the potential tutor you’re evaluating seems brilliant but really unstructured and doesn’t even talk about study planning when describing his or her approach, then this particular tutor probably isn’t the one for you. Another note of caution â€" you still “own” your LSAT prep. Don’t use a tutor as a crutch â€" you need to understand the core concepts tested on the LSAT on a deep level on your own, not just when the tutor explains them. 2. “On-Call” Tutor You create a study plan together. Then your tutor is available to answer specific questions for an hour every week or so. You do most of your studying on your own and design your own homework plans. You tutor serves more as a specialist, who you turn to in those few areas that are tougher for you, or to help you understand the really difficult problems. This tutor is ideal for the student who has already done a decent amount of self-study and is looking for specific guidance to break into the higher tier scores. 3. “Crash Course” Tutor Your tutor dives in and helps you on specific areas where you are weakest. There is no real formal study plan. Meetings with your tutor run more on a triage system, focuses on areas where you are missing “easy” points. This type of tutor is ideal when you have little time to prepare for the test and need to bolster your basic skills in one area quickly. This type of tutor may also work well for students who are solid in most areas of the LSAT, but are weak in one section, for example, a student that needs focused LSAT Logic Games tutoring. A note of caution on options 2 and 3 above â€" if you think an on-call or a crash course tutor makes sense for you, make sure you are realistic as you assess your progress as your test-date nears. Trying to work with a tutor at the last minute, weeks before your test, can be stressful. So, if you are going to use the “on-call” or “crash-course” approach with an LSAT tutor, plan your tutoring sessions far enough in advance. Summary LSAT tutoring can be expensive relative to self-study or LSAT classes, yet at the same time, private, customized help on the LSAT can help you achieve a score that you otherwise would not have achieved â€" if you use an LSAT tutor effectively and efficiently. Identifying which of the above three “tutor types” would work best for you can help you identify the right LSAT tutor and work with him or her in the right way. Good luck.

The biggest mistakes schools make when hiring teachers internationally

The biggest mistakes schools make when hiring teachers internationally If you’re in charge of hiring for an international school, you know that the process of hiring teachers from overseas isn’t always necessarily a smooth one. Finding that perfect teaching candidate with the right mix of skills, qualifications and experience is critical to maximizing student achievement, growing enrolment and, ultimately, allowing your school to continue to thrive in the competitive landscape of international education. This means doing all you can throughout the hiring process to ensure teachers are being hired for the right reasons. Perhaps you frequently feel pressure to hire quickly - even though you feel like you haven't found the right person quite yet. As we all know from past experience, rushed decisions can often lead to bad hires and, consequently, poorer employee retention. So, whether you’re hiring for a single school or group, you should avoid the following common mistakes: Writing a vague job description It’s worth taking the time to write your job descriptions - the age of dry, generic descriptions is well and truly over. Candidates expect more from a job posting and will lose interest if it’s not well crafted enough to appeal to your ideal candidate. Weak job descriptions have been proven to result in poorer candidate pools and could very well put great candidates off working at your school. Instead, use a clear, concise title that’s optimized to be found online. Keep the job summary as short as possible and don’t forget to include critical information like salary, benefits and growth opportunities that are available to teachers at your school - this is important to international teaching candidates. A job description that brings engaged and informed applicants to you should also highlight your school’s culture, mission and values. Being too rigid in your requirements A lot of hiring schools are set on candidates having a specific set of skills and experience and turn a blind eye to any applications that fall outside the lines of their predetermined list of qualifications. Narrowing the pool of candidates to rigidly-specific qualifications, educational backgrounds, skills and experience levels, however, could mean letting a highly-effective teaching candidate slip through your fingers. Someone who’s qualified on paper might seem to have all the right attributes for the job could, for example, end up being a bad fit for your school’s culture. Consider extending an interview to someone different than you were initially envisioning. Hire for potential, not years of experience. Not casting a wide enough net It’s important to expand your recruiting efforts to reach the biggest pool of applicants. In today’s mobile-first job market, you need to be creative when it comes to expanding your search for the best international teaching talent. Posting your vacancies to your school website just isn’t going to cut it, anymore. An online job board that caters specifically to international education professionals, instead, is a great way to get your jobs seen by active, qualified job seekers. Many international education recruitment companies also have a strong social media presence that can also promote your job posting to their teacher followers, to ensure the widest audience possible can view and apply to your opening. Having an unreasonably drawn-out hiring process With demand for quality teaching candidates at an all-time high internationally, you can safely assume the candidates you’re interested in are also interviewing for other schools elsewhere. They’re not likely to stick around for weeks on end waiting for an offer. Even mapping out the process is exhausting - there’s resume screening, phone calls, interviews, background checks - a whole long list of things that need to happen before you even make that offer. This can have a huge impact on your talent pipeline. Consider using an applicant tracking system that can help cut down on some of the manual processes and paperwork traditionally involved in hiring. Candidate experience counts for everything these days, so make sure your shortlisted candidates know where they stand at all times throughout each milestone in the hiring process. Act quickly, where at all possible - great teaching candidates are not going to wait around for you. A protracted hiring process is a surefire way to lose great candidates. Coming up short on a backup plan You’ve spent a lot of precious time and effort to find the perfect candidate and the unthinkable happens. They either decline the offer or drop out just before their start date. This is why need to build your talent pipeline - it’s well worth having two (or more) candidates that are equally capable of doing the job during the offer phase. Which leads me to the final hiring mistake many international schools make... Not having a solid onboarding process Once you’ve spent the time, effort, and money to find top talent and your new hire is finally set up with a start date, you might think the hiring process has ended. This is not the case. To maximize candidate retention, it’s important to create a bond as early as possible with your new hire in order to bring them into the school effectively and set them up for long-term success. As the saying goes, there’s never a second chance to make a first impression. You need to set the right tone for their career at your school. Before your new teacher even sets foot in your school, you need to have the right onboarding and orientation process in place to help them learn more about the school, their compensation package and specifics about the job to get them comfortable in their new role. In short - make them feel that they made the right decision by joining your school! Not following background check best practices Don’t forget to conduct a thorough criminal background check on all of your new teacher hires, to help ensure a secure learning environment for your students and safeguard your school from future liability issues. Ensure background checks are up to date, are at the national level and that you have a police check from every country your candidate lived in prior to joining your school, where at all possible. By paying attention to these hiring risks, you can keep candidates engaged, spend less time sourcing new candidates and protect yourself against losing high-quality candidates through the process.

University of California at Berkeley Berkeley also has a fabulous engineering department and is an in-state school for students located here in Southern California. However, out of state students should expect to pay around $55,000 annually for tuition and other expenses. Berkeley is located in the beautiful Bay Area and offers an excellent faculty and good student to teacher ratios. In exchange for the high quality of education, applicants should have near perfect SAT and ACT scores (around 2100 for the SAT and 32 for the ACT). 3. California Institute of Technology Cal Tech makes the top of the list for engineering programs in the United States but its extremely hard to get into. Cal Tech will expect near-perfect SAT an ACT scores but will, in exchange, offer superior science and engineering research departments and the bragging rights to 31 Nobel laureates among its past and current faculty and alumni. Students who wish to be the best of the best in the engineering field should consider Cal Tech as one of their top choices (READ: ACT Study Timeline: 7 Steps to Success). 4. Princeton University Princeton University is a world famous school known for many subjects including Engineering. Princeton has been around since 1746, making it one of the oldest private Ivy League schools in the US. Applications should expect to have near perfect SAT and ACT scores to be considered for entry. In exchange for superior college prep, applicants who are accepted can expect an excellent faculty and student to teacher ratio. In addition, Princeton can boast 30 Nobel laureates amongst past faculty and alumni. 5. Georgia Institute of Technology California students who would like to remain in a warm climate but see a different part of the United States should take a close look at Georgia Tech. The Georgia Institute of Technology has a good student to teacher ratio and is highly ranked in the subjects of Engineering and Technology. It’s also located in the heart of Atlanta, providing students with a diverse urban environment with plenty of employment and entertainment opportunities. Applicants should also expect to have high SAT and ACT scores in order to be considered for admission. In Short Although the majority of larger universities offer engineering and technology departments, students are encouraged to take a look at some of these top-ranking universities on their college tours this year. Engineering and Technology are ever-growing fields and offer excellent career and income opportunities for students whose intelligence leans towards the left brain hemisphere (READ: The Top 4 Things to Ask on Your College Tour).
