A-Level Chemistry Workshop at UCL

A-Level Chemistry Workshop at UCL Monday 26th saw the Tutorfair Foundation's 5th A-Level Chemistry Workshops hosted at UCL. This event  offered 103 students from 5 London schools the chance to hone their lab skills while revising some of the A-level's most challenging topics. With an action-packed agenda, these students had the opportunity to work in the second biggest laboratories in the country.  They had lectures on spectroscopies, explored chemistry in action, gained hands-on laboratory experience and an understanding of how Chemistry is used and applied in the real world! UCL and Tutorfair have delivered 5 outstanding workshops for the students at Tutorfair schools, which have resulted in many taking up Chemistry at undergraduate level!  Bravo to those embarking on this exciting route. The Day begins with a spectroscopy lecture by Dr Robert Palgrave, which is immediately followed by small group tutorials supported by volunteers Ksenia G and Nursen O. After the lecture session, it was time  to put theory into practice as the students were escorted to UCL’s Turner Lab and tasked with finding the chemical structure of an unknown compound.  â€œWe know that spectroscopy investigations are something very few schools can offer their students, which is why it’s great to work with Tutorfair and provide this opportunity. Not only do we want to give students every chance to score well in their exams, we want to give them a taste of what studying chemistry at university might be like”. Dr Robert Palgrave, chair of the PR committee at UCL and Chemistry Outreach lead Each year, our partner schools look forward to our events as it provides a hands-on approach to Chemistry and an opportunity for students to step in the shoes of aspiring chemists.  Muhammad Azam the Programme Manager for Science at Leyton Sixth form said, “Thank you so much for providing our students with the opportunity, they had a very positive experience.  We would definitely like to come to the next event and bring more students”. While Annabel Fairweather a Chemistry teacher at Highbury Fields School said “Yesterday was a great day, our students really enjoyed it as always.  We would definitely like to come to the next event and bring more students” We are constantly reaching out to schools that would like to partner with us to provide their students with exceptional opportunities. If you’d like to know more, you can register your school’s interest in the UCL day or any other Tutorfair Foundation programme today!

Common Collegiate Confusion Mistakes Every Freshman Makes

Common Collegiate Confusion â€" Mistakes Every Freshman Makes Improving Academic Performance They say that hindsight is 20/20. Hundreds of thousands of people have gone through their freshman year of college with regrets and wishes and dreams of what could have been, what they should have done. But that only means that there is greater hope for current college freshmen if they are only willing to listen and trust the people who have been there. Compiled from the thoughts and opinions of dozens of undergraduate sophomores, juniors, and seniors, this list is comprised of the most common mistakes that freshmen make their first year of school. Party Animal You’re finally in college. No parents, no teachers looking over your shoulder. You’re free! We all know this feeling and the urge to experience a party life we’ve seen in movies and on television for the past few years of high school. It looks fantastic and fun, with no one to stop you. However, if you’re not careful, partying early on and taking it too far can irreversibly damage your entire college experience. Yes, the partying scene in college can be vital to making friends and is a large part of university social life. Don’t avoid it completely due to a fear of overdoing it. But it’s also very important to trust yourself and your limits and not to give in to what you see around you if you feel uncomfortable. I have seen firsthand many individuals immediately jump into the party scene head on, staying up late and drinking alcohol night after night. Sure, it looks like they’re having a great time without a care in the world but pretty soon, the other aspects of their lives invariably suffer. Grades will drop; it will become almost impossible to catch up on classes. Remember, you and/or your parents are paying for an education, not for a social life. Go to class and take advantage of the thousands of dollars being spent on these four years. Save the partying for the weekends and know your limits. Work hard so that when the opportunity arises, you can have fun without feeling guilty. Procrastinating Many of us are used to being able to scrape by academically in high school, especially during senior year. You’re focused on the future; you’re accepted into college, you’ve conquered the entire high school curriculum. Procrastination runs rampant in most of us by the end of our high school career. It is sometimes very easy to save studying until the last minute or to complete a project in just a few days, a few hours. We arrive on campus and have the misconception that we can continue the same bad habits. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. College professors have high standards. Assignments and tests are much more complex and difficult. You can no longer study the night before and expect to achieve a passing grade. College courses are fast-paced and cover much more material than high school courses. If you’ve taken a few AP classes, this is more comparable to the university level. Instead of falling behind the first few months trying to get acclimated to the new work and study-load, expect to spend time each day going over new material and give yourself at least a week to work on a project or paper. It’s tempting to procrastinate. Just say no. Your GPA freshman year will set the tone for the rest of your college career. The “Food is Free!” Perception This is probably the first time you have to feed yourself. No mom to cook you dinner or have your breakfast on the table for you, no ½ hour lunch scheduled in the middle of your day. You are on your own. This means that you make your own dietary decisions now. You also probably have a meal plan. You swipe your student ID card and all of a sudden it’s an All You Can Eat buffet in the cafeteria. Late night snacks, extra hash browns in the morning, dessert with dinner. A lot of people have unused money on their meal plans that doesn’t roll over to the next semester, so they fill up on as much food as possible so as not to waste it. This can quickly become detrimental to your health and eating habits. We’ve all heard of the “Freshman 15”, the fifteen pounds that many kids find themselves gaining in the first few months of school. Come up with a dietary plan before leaving for school. It’s not a bad idea to start planning your own meals a few months before orientation. Otherwise, you may come home for Thanksgiving looking a little heftier than when you left. Neglecting University Resources It may seem overwhelming at first; the amount of resources open to you at a university: the career center, your advisor, peer advisors, student groups, and activities’ fairs. Don’t be overwhelmed. Take advantage of it. Visit your professors, see your advisor, and talk to the upperclassmen about everything and anything. It can only help you find your way in a world with infinite possibilities, problems, and solutions. Don’t be afraid to seek help. Not Taking Advantage of Internships Many freshmen make the mistake of disregarding internships, allocating them to junior and senior year of college. However, especially in our current job market, you need to begin amassing experience as soon as possible. Even if you are not one hundred percent sure what you want to major in or do with your life, experience in any field will increase your value in a future corporation or occupation. Looking for internships freshman year allows you to make contacts and increase your cover letter writing and professional interaction skills without the added pressure of impending graduation. Although multiple internship opportunities will be limited to upperclassmen, with some digging and career office assistance, you can find an organization to enhance your resume. Refusing to Stop and Smell the Roses Whether you’re going to college far away or staying in the area, there will be new places and sights to visit and explore. Don’t forget that life is an adventure. When you go to a new place, it’s a chance to see and experience things you never previously had an opportunity to. If you’re in a big city, escape that university campus bubble and venture out into the unknown (safely, of course). If you’re in the middle of nowhere, get to know your campus and the local eateries and hangouts. Every college is equipped with its own ecosystem. Make it a goal to master it and the surrounding area by the end of freshman year. Trust us. We’ve been there. We know what we wish we would have done and achieved. As upperclassmen, we come with knowledge college freshmen have no way of being in possession of. Take note of our advice and in just a few short years, you’ll be ready to pass your own expertise down to millions of slightly confused and potentially misguided incoming college students. hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, 'f08a3c58-464f-4164-a82e-313b7951bbb2', {});

First Job Interview Expectations

First Job Interview Expectations pexels.com They may potentially ask how you heard about the job opening, and why you are deemed fit to work there. Just be honest and still maintain the thought that you should be impressing those asking the questions. Think about: your past experiences. There will definitely be questions surrounding this topic, so plan your answers ahead of time. Seriously. Experience is imperative for evident reasons, and it is a good idea to know what that consists of. Basically, study that resume of yours beforehand. You will thank me later. Interviewers want to know about your past experience because they can see whether or not you are capable of performing the job. If anything, it gives them an honest expectation. And if you have zero experience, it is better to once again stay honest, given they are always looking for new talent in whatever their field is. Usually, that is. Practice makes perfect, or something like that, so the more experience the better; let us just say that it would never hurt your situation. Plus, if you have a long list of past jobs, then it shows that you are always willing to learn new things and put your best foot forward. So put your best foot forward, people. Trust me. Think about: possible situations. In most instances, there will be questions discerning plausible circumstances. You know, the good stuff. Things along the lines of robbery, theft, arson, and murder. Okay, maybe not that intense but it is always best to be prepared. Fingers crossed this does not happen, of course. They also take into consideration smaller, but just as important, possible scenarios. These include a short drawer, beyond rude customers (which unfortunately, is more common than you would think), and in-office drama. Chances are, these are more common and most likely will be occurring so prepare to focus. These answers tell a lot of your character and give the interviewer the opportunity to see what your reactions would be if any of these instances realistically took place. Just remember, do the right thing and then you will be hired. Well, we can wish, but it certainly will help out your situation. Think about: your aspirations. This is one of the easier, more upfront questions because it is sort of like asking for your opinion on a certain subject. Well not completely, but it is definitely slightly related. The point is that they want to see your goals with the job and where you see yourself in 10 years … err 10 months. This is not where you habitually say 3.6 kids, no student debt, and living behind a white picket fence. They are looking more toward your job desired and what it is you want to be learning in your time spent there. It is always a good idea to make future plans for obvious reasons. But it is also nice to have these answers planned out. Plus, who does not want to envision their life in a few months, years even? When going on a potential job interview, regardless if it is your first one or not, it is vital to be prepared. And the whole point is that it is solely potential thus far, so your goal is to make it permanent. Right? Right. pexels.com When interviewing, it is always a great idea to be prepared and ready for any question that can be thrown your way. And trust me, there are endless possibilities for questions. Let us just hope that they are more on the nice side with them. Goal is to stay positive, attempt to not perform an anxiety attack in front of them, and hope for the best. Hope can get you far, guys.

Land that Internship Today

Land that Internship Today Photo by Garfield Anderssen via Flickr.comConnectionsBelieve it or not, but you have connections you may not know about. I highly recommend joining a networking social media, like LinkedIn, to help expand your professional network. This also helps you reach out to those alumni from your school who want to help you find a job/internship. Also, stop by your university’s career center, they can help get you in contact with the alumni that could have internships available for you.Social MediaThis is a key factor in whether or not you will land an interview for an internship. Many companies now have a contract with Facebook that grants them access to your profile, regardless if the privacy settings are on. I highly suggest cleaning up your Facebook or Twitter of anything that does not scream professional or your personality. You want to have your persona showcased in your social media, employers want to see the kind of person you are outside of work; however, there should be no pictures of you partying or statuses of you cursing anywhere on your profile.Interview ProcessSay you get a phone call and they would like you to come in for an interview, research the business and know what they stand for. People always make the common mistake to not research the company and walk in with no questions. You may be the one being interviewed, but you are also expected to interview the employer. Come up with questions for them, this will show you stand out and have a passion for working with them. Dress appropriately, I know this may sound like common sense but recent studies have found that people do not land their internship/job due to not wearing professional clothing. After the interview, write them a thank you letter, regardless if it went well or horribly. This shows professionalism and they will remember you, which will help in the future if they ever decide to hire you later on.Lastly, the most important thing to do is be yourself. Employers know when you are faking an attitude, they know when you may be twisting the truth a little; just don’t. Act as natural as you can, and remember to keep your wits and confidence about you. Confidence is the number one best characteristic employers look for. They want to hire someone who knows what they want to do and has a passion for it. Good luck with everything!
