Tutoring at the University of Waterloo

Tutoring at the University of WaterlooWaterloo is the second largest city in the county of Waterloo, Ontario. Waterloo is a good place to visit if you are looking for a busy city where everything is moving on smoothly. In addition, the city has several parks and recreational areas where people can go and have fun with their family. Those who want to study at one of the best universities in Canada should make it a point to visit this place, as it has quite a number of universities here.Students at the University of Waterloo, however, find that they can't go to Waterloo without the services of an au pair. This is because a college of au pair training courses are provided by the university. The program will help a person, who has three children and works full time to care for them, to get ready for an academic environment, where he or she needs to be in good shape. The program will not only teach the student how to manage his or her time well, but also how to improve his or her listenin g skills.Since the institute is designed for those students who have already gone through an academic environment and are now looking for a university, there are several tasks involved. Students from the institute will get the opportunity to be part of the family circle. They will meet up with their family members to share and learn from them.Also, the tutoring program will involve the student learning the routines of modern day life. For example, he or she will learn how to handle money and make it flow smoothly. He or she will also be taught how to deal with a very demanding husband.There are many tutoring programs in the United States. However, the University of Waterloo tutoring program is different. Because of the fact that the college is so large, the program ensures that a student is able to get the best tutoring possible.The program started with thirteen individuals a few years ago. Over the years, the number of individuals who have participated in the program has grown sign ificantly. Currently, there are hundreds of students enrolled in the program. With the help of the Waterloo Campus, all of the students who participate in the program can count on getting all of the tutoring needed.The tutoring programs are divided into two, each with different academic needs. One type of program, for example, is designed for students who are going to college and want to continue their studies after graduating. The other type is a specialized program for the students who already have a degree and want to earn it again.An au pair can be a great source of comfort for students who need to be near their family and can't do so while they are studying. Students can enjoy their holidays while being able to get tutoring. Furthermore, the student will feel more comfortable with the au pair in the house because the tutor will be able to observe them.

Clearing the Hurdles A Runners Road to the Olympics

Clearing the Hurdles A Runners Road to the Olympics Clearing the Hurdles: A Runners Road to the Olympics Every four years, the world comes together through a common bond as spectators, fans, and aspiring athletes alike, to watch the world’s elite athletes compete at the Summer Olympics. The Olympics have historically evoked a sense of inspiration and pride, often leaving spectators on the edge of their seats as they cheer for a gymnast to stick a round off back handspring or they watch a swimmer make that final push to hit the wall for the gold medal. The steeplechase event is no different and could arguably be the most challenging and physically demanding race in the track and field arena. Steeplechase runners compete in a 3,000-meter race, having to clear 28 hurdles and seven 12-foot long water pits along the track’s route. For the professional steeplechase runner, Colleen Quigley, her road to the Olympics is a story of heart, strength, and confidence. Colleen’s story begins in the city of St. Louis, where she and her siblings were homeschooled by their mother until high school. Their mother Ann was not only their teacher at home, she was also their Kumon Instructor. Like the hurdles Colleen faces in her races, her journey with Kumon was no different Being enrolled in the Kumon Math and Reading Program for close to 12 years, she found that the routine of the work gave her a sense of discipline and accomplishment when she completed her worksheets. Before entering high school, Colleen went on to successfully complete the Kumon Reading Program. Although experiencing challenging moments at times, she walked away with valuable lessons that she still uses to this day. “When I went through Kumon, I was (and honestly still am) grappling with the idea of failure, and that I couldn’t do everything I wanted to right away without making mistakes and stumbling a lot,” said Colleen. “When I couldn’t figure out a challenging math question, I got so frustrated. I had to learn how to try, make mistakes, and try again. That obviously happens all the time in life outside of the classroom and that mentality is something I try to keep in all endeavors I take on.” Outside of the classroom as a young girl, Colleen first discovered a passion for dancing, soccer, and even signed on as a model with Wilhelmina and West Model Management by the time she was 13 years old. It wasn’t until her freshman year of high school that she took a leap of faith and joined the cross-country and track teams. With her father Gaylerd as her coach, he not only fostered her love of running, but taught her the most important lesson of all â€" to never give up and remain resilient. “In high school, my dad told me, it’s not over till it’s over. He was referring to racing, and the idea that you can never give up on yourself or the race until the moment you cross the finish line,” said Colleen. “You may think you’re going to get beat, but you don’t know what’s going through your competitors heads. Likely they are tired and struggling too, so it’s a matter of who can mentally stay tough longer and keep pushing all the way to the finish.” Taking her dad’s words to heart, Colleen made a name for herself in the track and field world in high school, with noteworthy race times and endurance like no other. Although she was a stand-out runner in high school, she never thought she would continue running in college. Her path took a turn when Coach Harvey at Florida State recognized her talents and extended a full-ride to become a Seminole. Upon graduating from Florida State, Colleen not only walked away with a bachelor’s degree in Dietetics, she also walked away as a NCAA National Champion. Upon graduating college, she sought out the advice from other professional runners. After receiving perspectives from those she admired like Shalane Flanagan and Emma Coburn, she made a decision that would forever change her life. Colleen turned professional in 2015, signing on to Nike’s Bowerman Track Club. Her professional career thus far is filled with an abundant amount of accomplishments and a fan following. Colleen finished 12th in the 3,000-meter steeplechase event at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing, China and 8th in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Next, Colleen has her sights set on the 2020 Olympics. Colleen shared with us some special moments she had along her road to the Olympics. Tell us how you felt the moment you made it on to Team USA? So jubilant! Here’s what I tweeted â€" it pretty much sums it up. Your career both non-professionally and professionally has been filled with so many achievements. What achievements are you most proud of? Competing at the Olympics is my biggest achievement of my career thus far. I’m also proud of my recent race at the USA Indoor National Championships, where I raced the mile and came away with my first USA Championship title! I’m proud of the title, but also so proud of the way I executed my race; I ran with confidence and power and never looked back. What piece of advice would you give to young aspiring athletes? Enjoy the sport and try different sports! I think right now there’s a lot of pressure to be good at a sport from a young age â€" that was not me. I was dancing, playing soccer, and running a little bit of track when I was growing up. I focused on using my body in ways that made me happy. I discovered the cross-country team and fell in love with being a part of a team with a group of awesome girls. It was then when I poured my heart into running and slowly (so slowly and gradually!) that passion developed into a career. So, play lots of sports (or make lots of art, or play lots of music) until you find something that you’re passionate about. You have plenty of time! What was it like having your mom as your Kumon Instructor? Since my mom was our homeschool teacher, I found it pretty normal that she was also my Kumon Instructor. I have fond memories of going to the center with my mom and feeling at home in that space. I even helped her with grading worksheets whenever she needed help! When you’re not running, what do you enjoy doing? I love connecting with my fans on social media and even in person when I can. I have a website that I maintain with articles and an email that my fans can reach me at. I also created a newsletter that I use to send out periodic updates about my travels, new recipes I’m loving, workouts, etc. Speaking of social media, you have an incredible following on Instagram. How have you leveraged Instagram as a platform to connect with your fans and curate content? I love using Instagram to share more about my story with my followers. I share the ups and downs, the victories and defeats, and injuries. It’s all part of the story and relatable to someone. Whenever I am recovering from an injury, I mope about it, but then I’m reminded that I’m not the only one struggling â€" I think that takes the loneliness away from it. My favorite is when I get messages from moms and dads letting me know that their daughters follow me and look up to me as a positive role model. That’s the ultimate compliment for me. Image by Fontaine Rittlemann   Tell us a bit more about “Fast Braid Friday” and what started the movement?   #FastBraidFriday is a movement on Instagram that I started about a year ago. At first it was just silly, but then it became something so much bigger than I could ever imagine. “FBF” is about putting your hair in braids, whatever kind of braids you like, and then taking on a challenge in your life. Every Friday I get tagged in photos on Instagram of girls young and old in braids saying things like, “I ran my first marathon!” or “I ran a PR in the 5K!” or even “I was the top scorer for my basketball team!”. The braids are all different and the accomplishments are all unique, but the idea is the same â€" you do something on the outside that makes you feel confident on the inside. I like to workout and race in braids because they make me feel confident, powerful, and fast as I’m working towards my big goals. Discover even more student success stories.

Singing Basics Exercises for Vocal Agility

Singing Basics Exercises for Vocal Agility Suzy S. Feats of vocal agility can be breathtaking â€" listening to singers who can pull off the most extraordinary vocal acrobatics in any genre is thrilling, and the likes of Joyce DiDonato and Cecilia Bartoli fill concert halls and opera houses all over the world with their technical fireworks. However, there are several things that you as a singer should be looking for in terms of singing basics when training your own voice â€" listening to recordings may make you think that a similar level of agility is beyond you, but like all vocal milestones, proper practice and the right exercises will help you get there. For example, vocal agility comes more easily when you have the building blocks of good legato, proper breath control, and adequate support of your instrument without tension. There’s only one correct way to sing â€" without forcing the voice, and with no tension â€" and it doesn’t matter how you get there, or which genre you sing in. It’s true that some voices will always have more natural agility than others; for example, higher, lighter voices will naturally have an easier time negotiating Bach, Handel, and Rossini simply because there’s less voice to move around. Heavier voices, certainly within the classical world, aren’t generally called upon to sing rapid passage work, and it can be tricky negotiating an instrument with the turning radius of an ocean liner through what appears to be a sea of sixteenth notes. Exercises to Improve Vocal Agility It may surprise you to know that some of the best exercises to improve vocal agility do not involve fast passage work at all.  Some of the following exercises may prove surprising â€" that is, until the next time you have to sing fast notes: Singing basics typically include slow, well-supported arpeggios through a fifth or an octave.  Continue to work on these, paying special attention to keeping your voice even through all vocal breaks, including in volume and tone.  Practice these throughout your comfortable vocal range, and record them â€" don’t just trust your ears, as it’s not possible to hear your own voice properly.  Practice on all vowel sounds, and with a succession of consonants in front of them. Starting on a hum, and at a fairly moderate pace, hum up a major second and down, and then up to the third and down, then using a two syllable word â€" mini works very well â€" sing the word twice on each note up through the third and back down, then repeat the hum section on a vowel.  Increase the speed over a period of days, and check this against a metronome.  This exercise is an excellent addition to your singing basics repertoire, as it not only provides a quick warm-up, but encourages diction and, as a consequence, vocal agility. It’s best to work this exercise through a tenth or so, and make sure you incorporate at least one of your vocal “problem” areas. Now try scales through the ninth (i.e. a scale ascending through the octave, then beginning your descent from the note above). Don’t attempt to articulate individual notes, but instead pay special attention to what the notes feel like within your voice; for example, know where that octave is, know where you’re heading, and allow your brain to make the notes. The less you try to micromanage rapid passage work, the easier it will become. Why Vocal Agility is Important Vocal agility is important because a voice that can move is a healthy voice! Vocal health issues that may require the support of an ENT specialist often first manifest themselves with holes in the voice, or difficulty negotiating register breaks that were once easy. Think of vocal agility exercises in the same terms as an athlete working different muscle groups, and use them after youve finished singing as well as before you start to work on repertoire or begin a rehearsal. What Repertoire Demonstrates Vocal Agility In classical repertoire, vocal agility is required to a greater or lesser extent for almost every voice type even a dramatic soprano might find herself cast as Bellinis Norma, and have to tackle Casta diva, and a tenor who would sing Lohengrin might just as easily find himself cast in the title role in Idomeneo if hes on contract at an opera house.  It just goes to show that adding vocal agility exercises to your daily singing basics is as important to sing Sieglinde as it is to sing Semiramide. Examples to Watch Casta diva (Bellini Norma), Ghena Dimitrova (soprano) Fuor del Mar (Mozart Idomeneo), Jonas Kaufmann (tenor) Perhaps the most famous arias to demonstrate vocal agility, however, are those for coloratura soprano, a particular voice type that is known for exceptional height, clarity of tone, and great agility. The Queen of the Nights two arias from The Magic Flute are perhaps the most famous examples, but this example from Delibes Lakme, sung by the great coloratura of the 1930s, Lily Pons, demonstrates great beauty of tone. Conclusion It doesnt matter how diligently you follow your own exercises and cover the singing basics in the comfort of your own practice studio, there is no substitute for a good vocal coach who will guide you, and be able to identify any potential vocal issues long before they start.  Good luck!

10 Beautiful Middle East Cities In The Arab World

10 Beautiful Middle East Cities In The Arab World Gorgeous Cities In The Middle East ChaptersTen Amazing Arabian CitiesI remember the first time that I saw the pyramids, I was in a taxi driving through the city of Giza. The city was welcoming, with wide dusty roads, and people walking in all directions going about their day. I hung my head out of the window like a happy puppy taking in the Arab culture, the new sights, sounds and smells of the Arab world. The problem was that I was looking out of the wrong side of the taxi.It was the driver who took the initiative to point to the other side of the street, to tell me that the pyramids were there. I looked out of the other window of the taxi and simultaneously burst into tears. They were tears of shock and awe because there they were supreme, gigantic and slap bang in the middle of the city.I had always assumed that the pyramids were in the middle of the desert, you rarely see pictures of the Arabian city of Giza sprawled out next to the pyramids. But the reality is that you could potentially rent an apartment in Giza and have your neighbouring view from your bedroom window be the pyramids.The Burj Al Arab is a luxury hotel located in Dubai.

Do Rate My Voice Websites Help or Hurt Singers

Do “Rate My Voice” Websites Help or Hurt Singers Sign up successful You’ll be getting unbiased opinions from people whom youve never met before and therefore are likely to be more honest than your best friend or a family member! It’s good experience to get out there and test the waters if you dont have much experience performing, recording, or making videos (especially if you live somewhere where those opportunities are difficult to find). With these websites, you can upload a video and have an immediate, brand-new audience right in front of you. Some singers may be shy performing live, but this is a way to get comfortable with putting your own voice out there and hearing the reactions you might receive. Cons Many of the people who rate these websites do not have formal vocal training. They may be able to offer you advice on presentation, performance, or song choice, but I would not upload a video to one of these sites looking for instruction on proper vocal technique. Many of these websites advertise “$1,000 Cash Prize” or “Instant Recording Contract”. Make sure you do your research before putting your music on one of these websites to make sure they are legitimate. If they are asking you to put down any money, I would not suggest doing so. Rather, spend your money on proper voice lessons with an instructor who can teach you about vocal technique and performance. So, all in all, I would recommend a rate my voice website if you are looking to grow a fan base, promote a video, network with other young singers, or get a feel for the general publics taste or critique in music. However, I would not use such sites for professional vocal training or guidance. If youre asking yourself, Am I a good singer?, I would recommend studying with a voice teacher who has had training in technique and who has professional performance credits to assist you in your own technique and performance skills. Just as if you were sick and thinking about seeing a doctor to diagnosis you, the same applies to singing! Remember, everyone has his or her own opinion, and you don’t have to listen to everyone’s advice. Still, be open, and remember that you, yourself, are the best judge of your vocal performance!
