Happy Holidays! A look back at 2017

Happy Holidays! A look back at 2017 Happy holidays from everyone at Teach Away! Not only was 2017 a great one for our whole team - by all accounts, this year was also an exciting and successful time for our Teach Away teachers and schools, too. We placed over 1,000 motivated, energetic teachers in leading education institutions all around the world. And another 1,000 of you are currently enrolled in one of our teacher training and development courses.In 2018, we’re excited to continue making your dreams of teaching abroad - and being the best teacher you can be - a reality. We also can't wait to share some new teacher recruitment and training initiatives that are in the pipeline with you - stay tuned to the blog for more on that front! So, as 2017 winds down and comes to a close, we wanted to recap seven highlights that made this year so special for the team - and for our amazing educators and partner schools: 1. Teach Away partnered with UAE Government Schools to hire more than 500 math and science teachers to teach in the UAE. 2. With the help of our kickass team of Placement Coordinators, we launched Passport to Teach, a month-long online event where we took you all around the world to learn everything you need to know about landing a teaching job abroad! 3. We officially launched Culturally Responsive Teaching, a professional development course that helps our international teachers better relate to their students from a range of cultural backgrounds. 4. We helped NBA basketball player Bismack Biyombo with his inspiring new education initiative in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 5. We enrolled our first course participants in Digital Learning for the K-8 Classroom, our online digital literacy training course for teachers created in partnership with Teachers College, Columbia University and leading digital literacy expert Detra Price-Dennis. 6. Did you know that there are over 300 English language learners in China who are looking for Bachelor’s degree holders to teach English in China? We sure do! That’s why we launched our brand-new recruitment initiative, the Explore Program. The Explore Program is working with reputable education organizations in China to place new grads of any major, as well as licensed teachers, in top English teaching jobs all across China. 7. Teach Away’s teacher job fairs, brought to you in partnership with International Schools Services, made a welcome return in November of this year, when we headed to sunny Atlanta to help over 60 of our incredible teachers get started on their 2018 teaching adventures overseas! Up next in early 2018 are our Bangkok and New York job fairs - if you’re itching to teach abroad next year then get your application in to attend before the deadlines close!

The Basic Concept of Algebra - What Does a Math Tutor Really Mean?

The Basic Concept of Algebra - What Does a 'Math Tutor' Really Mean?The term 'Algebra Tutor' does not necessarily have to mean the same thing in 8th grade. But, it can be thought of as someone who is going to help your child when they are working on a math problem or math assignment.First of all, if you live in the south, chances are you would have an algebra tutor for an 8th grader. It's the way of the south. There are so many resources that teach the basics of algebra and this is one of them. There is such a diversity in the math skills of children across the south, that there is no way that all of them will learn the same basic skills.Those who live in the south have a pretty good shot at learning all of the basics, because there are certain students who have more aptitude and are able to absorb the most information quickly. If you have a child from the south, there are several resources that are geared toward teaching algebra, but, they will all have the basic concepts covered.In the Midwest, there are some resources for algebra that are much different. These are more of a conversation between parents and teachers. What I mean by that is that there are plenty of resources out there that are geared towards teaching algebra. There are algebra books, and lesson plans, and even algebra calculators.It's not something that is a task that is left up to the algebra tutor for an 8th grader. These resources come from parents who are very close to the problems. They know what works and what doesn't work, and so, they have come up with the best resources for their children.To understand how much of a difference a math tutor can make, we need to compare it to the fact that ifyou were a parent of a young child and you did not have a math tutor around, then you could very well lose out on your child's learning abilities. The fact that the math skill of your child was not going to be properly taught makes a huge difference to the growth of your child.When it comes to using resources for teaching math to children, the math teacher's job is to make sure that your child is getting the most out of their learning time. There are many resources that will do just that, but, the resources that are best for your child will come from you.
