Ask 4 Questions Before Hiring a GMAT Tutor

Ask 4 Questions Before Hiring a GMAT Tutor GMAT MBA Admissions Blog Your GMAT score is obviously a critical component of your business school application (although, I’d argue, perhaps not as important as many people make it out to be), and most folks need to invest a significant amount of time in preparing for it. Certain GMAT preparation approaches can work better for some people relative to others. The four basic options with GMAT prep are: Self-study Online prep In class GMAT prep course Using a GMAT tutor There are some basic guidelines to consider when choosing across these four options. For example, self-study or online prep generally works best when you have a significant amount of time to prepare, are generally very structured and good at managing your time, and tend to be a good problem solver who enjoys figuring things out. A prep course tends to be a great basic way to get the fundamentals, and works well for anyone that feels they just need a baseline of knowledge from which to build. GMAT tutors are a great option for folks that are either a) top performers striving for a 700+ score or b) struggling, and in need of customized guidance to help explain concepts in a way that they will understand. A private GMAT tutor, at the right price, is an attractive option due to the customized, personalized approach. That said, we realize it’s not for everybody (far from it). In any case, this post is for individuals considering private tutoring, and will offer up four key questions to ask during the process of choosing a GMAT tutor. After all, if you’re going to invest in private GMAT tutoring, you want to identify the best tutor for you. Some Context There is a pretty wide variety of factors to consider when evaluating potential GMAT tutors or tutoring companies, such as the tutor’s own GMAT score (have they proven they can ace the test), tutor’s GMAT tutoring or teaching experience (have they proven they can teach strategies for success to others), GMAT training received, materials used, confidence which each section of the test, price, location, teaching style, “fit” with student, availability, whether they tutor actually went to business school (and which one) and many more. All of these factors matter, but it’s probably intuitive that some matter more than others. It might be difficult to determine which factors really matter, and which should be considered “nice to haves.” The four ideas below are an attempt to capture all the relevant considerations when choosing a GMAT tutor â€" they are a way to synthesize a long list of factors into some key guidelines. Four Key Questions #1 Expertise: Does the tutor have a well-rounded mix of experience and personal success with the GMAT? Say your goal is getting into an average business school and you thus need to score a 600 or higher. A great tutor for you might not be a great tutor for someone committed to breaking 730 and going to Harvard Business School. The second person probably needs advanced guidance on the most demanding questions, while you may not. But, the following three rules will hold true for any student studying for the GMAT, regardless of skill level or target score: Someone with a perfect 800 GMAT score but no tutoring experience is probably not going to be a great tutor. Someone with a 620 GMAT score but lots of tutoring experience is probably not a great option either â€" they don’t appear to have a great mastery of the material themselves. Some amount of professional training in GMAT prep is clearly desirable, all else equal. When it comes to“expertise” tutoring for the GMAT, the best tutors display an attractive mix of the above characteristics. At MyGuru, we often get questions such as “did the tutor score in the 99th percentile.” Or, “how many years of professional training has the tutor had.” These are fine questions, but a holistic view of the tutor’s expertise is what’s really important. The answer to the above two questions is “No” and “0” for several of our best GMAT tutors. But, if the tutor scored in the 93rd percentile, and has been tutoring privately for 6 years, they could be a fantastic fit for you (as is the case with several of our tutors). #2 Approach: Does the tutor focus on core concepts and use official practice tests? In our view, there just aren’t huge differences between all of the GMAT prep materials available online or in a book store. Some are certainly better than others. Most cover in reasonable detail each section of the GMAT and the core concepts tested. It is these core concepts which you need to master and be able to apply on test day. When discussing materials to use, your tutor should be comfortable working with whatever GMAT prep materials you already have, although they might have their own personal preferences and we always recommend starting with the Official Guide to the GMAT. They should certainly suggest that taking official timed practice tests is an important part of the process. Official tests under timed conditions are key â€" that’s the only true way to test progress. A tutor that relies too heavily on a particular set of materials or methodology may not fundamentally be comfortable enough with the core concepts tested on the GMAT to answer questions or explain things in different ways that may make more sense to you. #3 Style: Do you want an GMAT genius or a trusted guide and mentor? We, in general, see two types of tutors from a style perspective. The first is simply a GMAT genius. She can clearly and crisply articulate the key to the most complex GMAT questions. The Mentor/Guide, on the other hand, focuses more on helping you develop a study plan, provides motivation, time management through the preparation process, and helps you structure your journey towards business school. Often times, the first type of tutor completely aced the GMAT, but never went to business school. The second type of tutor may have scored pretty well on the GMAT, but didn’t ace it. However, they ultimately went to a top 10 business school and can put the test in perspective for you and help calm your nerves. Of course, most tutors display characteristics of both generic tutor categories. But, you should ask yourself, what type of tutor, if I had to choose, would I prefer? After speaking with a potential tutor or reading an introductory email from one, you can often get a sense for whi ch category they fall into. #4 Logistics: Will this tutor be easy to work with? Studying for the GMAT and applying to business school is stressful enough, especially if you’re currently working full time. You don’t want to choose a tutor with the potential to increase this stress by responding to emails slowly, being difficult to schedule with, or being located far away requiring you to sit in traffic on the way to a session. So, while certainly the expertise, approach, and style of the tutor are probably more important than logistical concerns, don’t ignore logistics. If you work full time, and you find the perfect tutor, but he or she is located a 45 minute drive from you, think about whether that’s really going to be practical. Choosing an online tutor can often alleviate many logistical concerns. If you have the right mindset and the tutor is using the right technology (video camera, electronic tablet/pen, etc.), an online tutor can actually be extremely convenient. But, it’s certainly different than in-person tutoring, and if you aren’t comfortable with it, stick with in-person tutoring. Again, if you choose an online tutor but really aren’t comfortable with it, that will be stressful. By asking these four questions of any potential tutor or GMAT tutoring company, you’ll be well on your way to choosing an effective partner to aid you on your journey towards a top business school.

GoTEFL Mediakids Academy

GoTEFL Mediakids Academy GoTEFL Mediakids Academy MediaKids Academy is a Thai organization that aims to improve the English language skills of Thai children by implementing an English taught by Native Speakers program for public schools across the country. As a placement agency, we have contracts with over seventy schools nationwide and have placed over one thousand foreign teachers in the last few years. MediaKids School was founded in 2000 as a computer and music school. At that time, MK provided schools with weekend English Camps, and began developing the idea of a program of English taught by native speakers. It would be made available to the more remote, less developed areas of Thailand, where tourists arent usually found, and recruiting of foreigners directly by the school is very difficult. In 2001, MK expanded its programs in the Northeastern provinces of Thailand, and the journey began. Over the next three years, MK evolved into a respected and reliable company that met the demands of rural Thai schools in finding, placing and assisting experienced and quality English teachers. In 2004, as MK grew significantly, new offices were opened in Bangkok to offer a more convenient location for the teachers and staff. It also allowed us to expand our programs to other schools. Word spread quickly about what we offered. The strength behind our operation is our hard-working Thai staff, who have a high English ability and a real understanding of how foreign cultures differ from their own. As the world relies more and more on technology and international relationships, English has become one of the most important languages for communication. At MediaKids Academy, we recognize the importance of educating the young generation to become knowledgeable and competent in the English language so that they can effectively communicate and collaborate with people of other nationalities. Not only do we aim to place good and able teachers in our contracted schools, we also emphasise high-quality teaching techniques. We provide our teachers with a curriculum that is being constantly adapted and developed by our dedicated curriculum team, in order to ensure a consistently high standard.

How to stay connected with family and friends while teaching in China

How to stay connected with family and friends while teaching in China If you’ve taken a glance at our job board lately you’ll have noticed there are a ton of teach abroad jobs in China. This country has so much to offer teachers at any stage of their career including fascinating culture and language, competitive pay, great benefits, and a huge range of teaching positions. However, if you’ve also casually glanced at the news you’ll have seen that China has some internet restrictions that don’t apply in Western countries, and this can make moving there seem kind of intimidating. It’s scarily hard to imagine life without Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube or Google, but that’s the reality of life behind China’s “great firewall.” Can you imagine trying to get around without Google Maps or filling your lunch hour with endless scrolling? Even more importantly--how do you stay connected to family and friends with your most common methods of communication are cut off? Well, luckily there are plenty of other options for international teachers in China. Email Email might seem like more of a professional way to communicate than a personal one, but it’s one of the most reliable ways to connect with people all over the world for free. So even if you’re not planning on having long email chats with your nearest and dearest, you’ll still want to make sure you’ve got their contact details. Currently, Gmail is blocked in China so if that’s the provider you use consider setting up a new account and importing all of your contacts to a provider that is available, such as Yahoo or Outlook. Messaging Messaging services have become a great, low-pressure way to keep in touch with people you love whether you want to send them some news, your favorite emojis or just say hi. So, it’s kind of a bummer that Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Signal are all blocked in China. However, you might want to try out China’s own messaging service WeChat. This app is huge in China, so you’re almost sure to need it to keep in touch with contacts in your new home. But you can also download it internationally, so try persuading your friends and family back home to do so. It’s free, you don’t need to understand Chinese to use it, and some expat users like its easy-to-use interface so much they keep using it even when they come home. Video Chat and Phone Calls Time differences can make for some truly bizarre video call scenarios while you’re living abroad. Don’t be surprised if it becomes normal for you to be brushing your teeth in the morning while talking to your parents eating dinner or on your way for a big night out while talking to a friend who’s having her first coffee of the day. Once you get over the schedule mismatch video calling is a great way for you and your loved ones to get a glimpse into each other’s lives and really feel connected. The messaging service Wechat also provides video messaging, but if you want to go with a service you’re probably already familiar with then Skype is also available in China. And, for those of us who get stage fright when it comes to video calls (hands up ??????) you can, of course, also use Skype as a regular audio calling service. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. Blogging Blogging might not be the most personalized form of keeping in touch with people back home, but it is a handy way to let everyone know what you’re up to in one swoop and create a diary of your experiences that you will enjoy looking back on. You can’t access the most well-known blogging platform, WordPress, in China but it is possible to buy your own website from a provider, such as GoDaddy, and build your own little corner of the internet. Don’t be put off if you’re not the most tech savvy person as there are plenty of online resources to walk you through the process (that you can access while in China). Letters and Postcards Who doesn’t love getting something nice in the mail? While it’s not the most practical way of sharing urgent news, taking the time to write a letter or send a postcard is a truly thoughtful way to keep in touch. Remembering birthdays and holidays with a card or a letter can also help to make you feel connected to your own traditions while you’re abroad. And hopefully, you’ll get some return post too! “Hopping the wall” Finally, if you really can’t do without your social media, many expats in China install VPNs on their computers. A VPN (virtual private network) re-routes your computer’s IP address and gives you access to sites that wouldn’t normally be available in the country you’re in. But (and it’s a big but!) VPNs are a legal grey area and while many expats do use them, you could take on a considerable risk by doing so. Why not try life without social media for a while first? We all know how hard it can be to unstick from the screen sometimes and many teachers come to find one of the things they really enjoy about teaching abroad in China is actually having a social media break. A mix of all the above! Finally, remember web restrictions and access can, and do, change all the time in China. During your time there you might find that more apps and websites you know from home are either made accessible or banned. There are plenty of resources online to help you keep up to date with what’s going on, but your best bet is to not rely too heavily on one type of communication. Using a mix of all of the above should ensure that you always have a way to stay connected with your friends and family back home while you’re teaching in China.
