In a small way, dancers have contributed to this worth.  Firstly, you should know that stage makeup is less subtle than the makeup you might wear around town.Dancers are usually far from their audience and if you don’t highlight your complexion, eyes, or mouth, you’ll look sickly under the bright lights focusing on you.  Before you put any makeup on, make sure that you remove any other makeup and clean your skin.Ready?

White, beige, and brown tend to the most common.Mascara: Waterproof might be a good call (you’ll sweat).Black eyeliner: Also waterproof.Matte lipstick: opt for a red or dark pink. Shiny colours don’t work well on stage and tend to look too pale.Eyebrow pencil: the shade closest to your natural colour.Cotton buds and makeup remover in the event you make a mistake.A brush for your eyes and a foundation brush for the powder. Since you'll be seen from afar, your makeup needs to be heavier than what you'd usually wear.

Not this time! Start by doing your eyes as your eyeshadow can leave pigment below your eyes. You’d then have to clean this off and redo your foundation so it’s better to start with your eyes. As for eye makeup, you want it to be bold and solid. You don't want it to run during your performance, either. (Source: Bru-nO)Start by applying a white eye shadow across your whole eyelid from the lashes to your brow. This will catch the light nicely. This layer will also act as the foundation for the subsequent layers.  If you have a foundation layer for your eyelids, don’t hesitate to use it before adding this layer.Next, add a darker layer of shadow onto the moving part of your eyelid starting from the outside and working inwards. The idea is to have a gradient that’s darker on the outside than on the inside. Finally, add the darkest layer to the outside of your eyelids to add depth.With the remaining pigment on your brush, add it to the base of your eyelashes.  Apply your eyeliner along your lashes and extend the line beyond them, drawing an accentuated “comma” at the end. Your eyeliner needs to be thicker than what you’d usually wear as your audience needs to see it.D on’t let the eyeliner collect at the edge of your eyes as this will make your gaze look smaller. You’ll want to use a white eye pencil to make your gaze look bigger. We’re not looking for a natural look here as it won’t show up on stage.  Add a generous helping of mascara.Don’t hesitate to ask your teacher if they have a particular look in mind for your show. You might want intense smoky eyes or something lighter.Find out more about clothing for dancing.

Move your hair out of the way and wear a deep neckline so that you can apply the foundation to your neck, too. With a lot of stage lights shining on you, you'll want to opt for a matte foundation. (Source: fotostrobi)You can also add a corrector and concealer to any blemishes or spots. Add a liquid foundation starting at the centre of your face and working your way outwards. Don’t forget to also apply this to your neck so that you don’t have a discoloured oval for a face. Some prefer to add foundation by hand but if you want to use a brush, make sure you use a foundation brush with a liquid foundation in mind.You might also want to use a foundation for dark circles. If you don’t have one, you can apply your foundation from under your eyes outwards.  You then need to matte your foundation to stop it shining under the stage lights. Opt for a foundation that’s a little darker than the previous one so that you can contour a bit. Avoid foundation with sun protection as they tend to appear white when filmed or photographed.Find out how much dance outfits cost.Makeup for Ballet Dancers’ Mo uthsFor the mouth, you might want to follow the contours with a clear pencil. This will stop your lipstick from running into the corners of your mouth. Since your mouth is an important facial feature, you'll need a bold colour so that the audience can see it. (Source: annca)Using the tip of your lipstick isn’t very practical and requires some skill. It’s much easier to use a special brush to apply your lipstick.  Blot the lipstick against a tissue to remove the excess before you add a second layer.You can also add a bit of gloss to the centre of your lips but this isn’t necessary and it does tend to stick.  You might want to keep your gloss on hand backstage so you can retouch. Similarly, you’ll be thirsty and your lipstick will fade when you drink.The Finishing Touches for Makeup for Ballet DancersNow that you’ve got a perfect complexion and your eyes and lips done, you can add the finishing touches.BlushThis can help add relief to your face and accentuate parts of the face. To apply it, smile and apply it diagonally across your cheeks.EyebrowsYou can highlight your expression by using an eyebrow pencil. Blondes can defin e their eyebrows. However, brunettes can also use it. After all, even the most obvious features may be hard to see on stage.Eyebrow pencils are useful if you have thin or fair eyebrows.  Apply the pencil from the beginning of your eyebrow to the end working from the inside.Tip:  Line up your eyebrow pencil with the bridge of your nose and the edge of your eye. Your eyebrow should come up to the pencil. If your eyebrow doesn’t reach the pencil, then you should apply the makeup to this point.Place your eyebrow pencil on the bridge of your nose and line it up with the outside edge of your eye, your eyebrow shouldn’t go below the pencil at any point.Learn more about ballet footwear.Setting or FixerA setting or fixer spray works a lot like hairspray and you can put it on once you’re done. It works similarly as a hairspray in that it holds everything in place.Don’t forget to put your costume on before your makeup as you don’t want to have to pull anything on over your head. You can always wear something over the top that you can unbutton and take off so that your costume doesn’t get stained.Don’t hesitate to look for tutorials on YouTube to help you with applying your makeup or for inspiration.If you need more help with ballet, think about getting in touch with the talented and experienced tutors on Superprof. You can get either face-to-face tutorials, online tutorials, and group tutorials and since each comes with its pros and cons, make sure you carefully consider which one will work best for you, your preferred learning style, and your budget.Face-to-face tutorials tend to be more costly than the other types of tutorials but they're also the most cost-effective since you're getting a bespoke service with a personal tutor.Online tutorials are usually cheaper but aren't as effective when it comes to hands-on subjects like dancing. However, if you're on a budget or are struggling to find tutors in your local area, online tutors could save the day.Group tutorials are cheaper per person per hour since you're all sharing the cost of the tutor's time. If you and a few friends would like to learn how to dance, group tutorials could be the way to go. Furthermore, you won't always have to dance with the same person.

Learning Language, Culture, and Food Vocabulary

Learning Language, Culture, and Food Vocabulary Pauls Thanksgiving turkey.This Thursday in the United States we will be celebrating Thanksgiving day. When we learn language we also learn about the culture of the language. So this week you will learn a little bit about Thanksgiving and colonial America.Canada and the US both celebrate Thanksgiving however they have different meanings, histories, and even different days. Currently, in the United States Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, and in Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday of October .History of Thanksgiving and Spanish origins The first Thanksgiving could have been given to us by Spain. According to historians the first Spanish settlers in the US celebrated a Thanksgiving dinner in Florida, September 8, 1565. In general the origin of Thanksgiving is European and probably based off of the traditional harvest dinners in Europe. The first colonies in the United States were extremely religious and celebrated the day with a church service and a feast. It was not until December 26, 1941, however, that President Franklin D. Roosevelt, after pushing two years earlier to move the date earlier to give the country an economic boost, signed a bill into law with Congress, making Thanksgiving a national holiday and settling it to the fourth (but not final) Thursday in November.Thanksgiving TraditionSo, what is the tradition? Well the tradition is generally to gather with friends and family and eat too much, and be thankful for what we have in our lives.

GCSE Chemistry Workshop at UCL

GCSE Chemistry Workshop at UCL On Wednesday 29th June Tutorfair  Foundation and UCL hosted their third Chemistry Workshop.  The day was aimed at GCSE students thinking of taking A-Level chemistry and went off-syllabus to showcase how chemistry is actually  used in the real world. One of the students, Spencer,  has written up her experience of the day..... On Wednesday, I was lucky enough to go to a Chemistry Day organised by the Tutorfair Foundation and UCL which was really amazing. I’ve always enjoyed chemistry, so it was a great opportunity for me to find out more about what it’s like to study chemistry at university, and to help me decide whether chemistry was the right A level choice for me. First we had 3 talks from lecturers at the university. They were so interesting, and it was really nice to learn about chemistry outside of the classroom. The topics, which were “Ozone in the Earth’s Atmosphere”, “Magic Bullet Chemotherapies” and “Chemistry Under Pressure”, showed us how chemistry is being used right now in the real world. It was especially cool to hear that some of the research is carried out right in the university, which sounded very exciting. Next up we had talk about what it’s like to study chemistry at university, which was full of useful information. It helped me to understand why taking chemistry is such a good option and also showed me that a chemistry degree can be used for so many careers that you wouldn't expect. After lunch, we had a quick briefing on the practical we were about to do, then we were allowed into the labs. The facilities were incredible, and it was really cool to see everyone in lab coats and all the different kinds of chemicals on the shelves. We were making something called a ‘ferrofluid’, and even though ours didn't turn out quite like the pictures online, they were still pretty awesome and also fun to make. The last activity of the day was a talk from Andrea Sella about mercury. He was so passionate about it, which was really inspiring, and his enthusiasm kept everyone completely engaged for the whole time. The demonstration was also really cool. Overall, it was a great day which I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about taking chemistry for A level or beyond. In my case, I came in unsure of whether to take chemistry A level or not, and this day showed me how fascinating chemistry really is, and how much more there is to it than what we look at in class. I learned new things, had a really fun day, and I’m now very excited to start chemistry in September!

Everything you need to know about teaching in a hagwon

Everything you need to know about teaching in a hagwon South Korea is a great destination for TEFL teachers and if you’re thinking of teaching there you’ve probably already realised the first decision you’ll need to make: public school or hagwon? Um, what is a hagwon? Hagwons are private schools that many South Korean students attend outside regular school hours to get in some extra study. This is where they get the nickname ‘crammer schools.’ Academic success is a big deal in South Korea and while not all students do this kind of extra study, the hagwon industry is huge. There are around 100, 000 of them throughout South Korea, mostly in urban centers like Seoul and Busan. Does it make much difference if I teach in a hagwon or a public school? There are quite a few similarities between teaching in hagwons and public schools. You can expect a similar salary of around 2.1-2.5 million won per month ($1900 â€" 2236), with benefits like furnished accommodation, health insurance and return airfare included in your contract. You can also be sure you’ll teach kids and teenagers at public schools and hagwons, although hagwons may also run business English classes for adults. Beyond this, there are actually more differences than you might think between teaching in a public school and a hagwon. We’ll go into these in more detail below, but one of the most important things to bear in mind is that while public schools are funded and government-regulated, hagwons are unregulated, privately owned businesses. This means you could have a completely different experience working in one hagwon than you might in another. (Look below for tips on how to choose the right hagwon for you!) The general consensus is that while teaching in a public school might provide regular hours and stability, hagwons could offer more flexibility and independence. But let’s take a look at the finer details. Hagwons vs public schools: You decide! When do you want to move to South Korea? The application process might make this decision for you. South Korean public schools have two start dates for English teachers each year: spring term and fall term. The application process takes a minimum of three months, and is normally done through programs like EPIK, GEPIK and SMOE. So if you decide in February that you want to teach in a South Korean public school, you’ll have to wait until the fall term of the same year to start. That’s a 7 month wait! On the other hand, hagwons are not tied to the academic calendar and hire teachers all year round. The application process is also much quicker (generally only 2-3 months) so if you want to move to South Korea ASAP, this could be the option for you. There is less competition for teaching positions in hagwons but all applicants will be expected to be a native English speaker, hold a degree and possibly a TEFL certificate. Where in South Korea do you want to teach? Do you think you’d be more at home in a busy urban centre, a small town or surrounded by nature in the countryside? If all three options sound pretty great, then you’d be an ideal candidate for the public school system. When you apply to teach in a South Korean public school you don’t get to choose your exact location, as teachers have to be placed in schools throughout the country. Hagwons are all over South Korea, so if you’ve got your heart set on teaching in a particular location applying to hagwons in the area might be your best bet. This is particularly true for big, popular cities where competition for teaching positions in public schools is most fierce but there are plenty of hagwon jobs around. What kind of teaching do you want to do? You know wherever you teach you’ll be working with kids and teens, but the kind of teaching you end up doing might differ depending on the kind of school you work in. For starters, class sizes in public schools are about 30 â€" 40 students whereas in hagwons classes only have about eight students. Also, in a public school you’ll teach with a Korean co-teacher during your lessons and in a hagwon you’ll work alone. The pros and cons of these set-ups really depend on the kind of teaching you want to do. Some TEFL teachers find it more rewarding to teach independently and form stronger bonds with their small classes of students, as you can in a hagwon. Others find the pressure placed on hagwon students to succeed is transferred on to them, making the job more stressful than it might be in a public school. Are you looking for a South Korean immersion or an expat lifestyle? Normally, teaching in a public school means you’ll be the only foreigner among all the other staff and students. If you are looking to learn Korean or immerse yourself in South Korean culture, this is a great way to do it! But if you’d prefer your workplace to have a more international atmosphere, teaching in a hagwon will mean you have other expat colleagues to share your experience with. When deciding on the kind of lifestyle you want, it’s also worth thinking about where you hope to live in South Korea. Big cities are more likely to have big expat communities. Do you prefer working during the day or at night? And what about vacations?! In public schools, working hours are a pretty regular Monday to Friday, morning and afternoon deal. You might have to work 8-hour days (rather than 6 or 7 at a hagwon) but you’ll normally only have to teach around 22 hours per week. Hagwon teaching days might be shorter, but they could also be more intense, with up to 30 teaching hours, and possible overtime on weekends. Hagwon working hours also start as the public school hours wind down, so working evenings and weekends is to be expected. When it comes to vacation time, public schools have the edge â€" on top of the 14 Korean national holidays most public school contracts normally include 20 â€" 25 days paid vacation per year, compared to two weeks paid vacation in a hagwon.

A word of warning before you start your Google search: there are plenty of hagwon horror stories out there. A quick peek at Hagwon Blacklist shows, at worst, hagwon bosses demanding overtime, withholding pay and terminating contracts at the last minute to avoid paying their teachers’ return airfares. None of this is something you want to deal with in an unfamiliar country where you don’t speak the language! Thankfully, there are also good hagwons out there and many teachers have great experiences working in them. The best way to tell if a hagwon is good or not is to do plenty of research before you take a job anywhere. Here are some things to look out for… Which are the best hagwons? Firstly, do you know anyone who has worked in South Korea? Can they recommend any hagwons to work in or do they know someone else who can? If not, search for reviews online. Waygook is a good forum for teachers in South Korea. As a rule, look for schools that have lots of reviews and avoid schools that don’t have any. Work with a few different recruiters. Each recruiter will have relationships with a different set of schools giving you a broader idea of what’s out there. Think about working for a hagwon chain. They are more likely to have some kind of standardised contract, and plenty of teacher reviews online so you can get a good idea of their work terms. Ask to speak to current teachers at any hagwon you are interested in working in. No one is in a better position to give you the real story about what it’s like to work there! Try to speak to more than one teacher, if possible. Finally, interview with as many different schools as you can, take notes and compare them. What should I ask in a hagwon interview? Interviews are a great chance to get a feel for your potential employers. How approachable they are and how clearly they answer your questions will give you an indication of what they might be like to work for. Here are some things you should definitely ask in an interview before accepting a hagwon job: What is a teaching hour? Some hagwons define a teaching hour as 45-50 minutes with a few minutes turn-around between lessons, and others count an hour as a full 60 minutes. What do teachers do apart from teach? Other responsibilities might include writing reports, doing marking or monitoring students. Make sure you find out how often you’ll be expected to do these things and be paid for them. Do teachers work overtime? Find out if you’ll be expected to work weekends and if so, how many. What does the teachers’ accommodation look like? Ask to see photos of the accommodation they are offering and find out exactly what furniture is included. What is the commute to work like? Find out how long you’ll spend travelling to work from your accommodation and make sure there is a reliable public transport route. How does vacation time work? Make sure you know in advance whether the school specifies when you take your vacations or if you get to choose. These are just some questions to cover in an interview, but ask as many as you can think of. Any good hagwon should be able to answer all of these questions and more! Take notes, make sure you get clear answers and you can even ask for confirmation of the terms agreed to in your interview in writing. Finally, don’t be afraid to be a bit picky. There are thousands of hagwons in South Korea, and there’s sure to be one that’s great for you!

Your Personal Guide to Finding the Best Student Loans

Your Personal Guide to Finding the Best Student Loans Image via: www.pixabay.com Weigh your options When you are hunting for the best student loan rates, you should absolutely do your research. If you put all of your eggs into one basket, or all of your hope into one application, you could be missing out on some excellent rates. With that being said, it is possible and appropriate to apply for more than one loan program. Your credit score, or your cosigner’s credit score, will not be harmed in the process, but you must apply within a month to be safe. You need to apply within a short amount of time because you will make it more obvious that you are shopping for the best rate, rather than trying to create multiple lines of credit, which is not something you want to do! There are many factors to keep into consideration when hunting for the best student loan rates. You want to look at the monthly payments, the length of the loan term, the total end cost, and APR rates. A helpful tool to make these comparisons is Unigo’s eStudentLoan system. By using it, you will be able to compare rates from different banks and lenders to determine what you are eligible for and which program will best suit  your needs. Keep your repayment plan in mind Student loan programs will typically offer three methods of repaying your student loans. These methods are: paying off the loans (both principal and interest) right away, paying exclusively the interest while you are still in school, and deferring the payment of both your principal and your interest until after graduation (typically six months afterward). Keep in mind that the longer you wait to repay the loans, the more you will have to pay off in the future. Also, lenders often offer lower rates if you pay off your loans sooner rather than later. Some may even offer lower rates if you make some sort of payment while you are in school. It might be a good idea for you to start paying the interest rates on your student loans in order to knock down your debt by the time you graduate. When you are looking at student loan programs, be sure to pay close attention to the repayment plans before you apply. Doing so may save you a ton of money in the end. Image via: www.pixabay.com Take a breath I know. Hunting for student loans is extremely stressful and scary, especially when you have no idea what your income is going to be post-graduation. As someone who is taking out student loans, I understand your qualms but relax. Take a breath. Only take out the funds that you absolutely need in order to keep your interest rates low. Try your best to keep as many scholarships and grants coming in as possible. If you keep this advice in consideration, you will be able to find the best student loan rates possible. Good luck and happy hunting!

Help With Substitution in Algebra

Help With Substitution in AlgebraHelp with substitution in algebra is not too difficult to understand. It simply means that you will be using algebraic expressions as substitutes for the real numbers. For example, we will use the word 'last' as a substitute for the letters 'L'. This is pretty simple to understand, but there are some other things to consider when doing substitution in algebra.The most basic, and the most common substitution, are simply substituting one thing for another. For example, if you add two nines, the last number will be one. So when you substitute this number for a letter, the resulting phrase will be zero, which can be used to get the number in the substitution for the letter.Subtraction is also another type of substitution. For example, if you subtract two nines from the number, the resulting number will be zero. So when you subtract this number from a letter, the resulting number will be zero.A few more types of substitution can be found, but all of them a re really fairly easy to understand. You can divide any sums of more than one number by a number and then subtract the result from the original number. For example, you can say 'divide the number of Nines by the number of Zeros'. The resulting number will be the original number divided by the amount of the zero that was subtracted from the original number.In addition to using the last number as a substitute for any other number, you can also use the last letter as a substitute for any letter. If you say 'If I use the last letter 'A' as a substitute for the letter 'L', and then remove the second letter from the right side, the resultant is zero', then you have the formula 'A+L=Z'. There are many other substitutions that you can make. The only issue that you might have is that it can be difficult to learn all of these substitutions. You may not be very familiar with the process of algebra. This is actually a good thing, because it can be easier to learn a substitution if you understan d the logic behind it.As you can see, when you do substitution in algebra, it can be a lot easier to understand if you can first understand the process of substitution. Once you have some basic knowledge, you can use this knowledge to save yourself some time when doing algebra.
