Reading Software For High School

My friend's teenage daughter has a psychological problem with math. She loves to read and has read at college level since third grade, so she is very smart. She just has trouble with math. When confronted with a math problem she gets very frustrated and emotional. She refuses help and has genuine panic attacks even though she is very even-keeled and emotionally stable most of the time. Can anyone help us find good websites or software or tutors that can help this otherwise brilliant kid with math?

Go to google or yahoo and type in BBC revisewise KS3. I think it's KS3, just type in whatever the Key Stage it is. Hope that helps. I use that site sometimes. It helps with every subject and of course, Math.

I used it to revise for the test, by the way. A good site .

I am a sophmore in high school, and have trouble reading fast and absorbing the material. I think i once saw a comercial for some kind of software but i cant remember the name.
Please Help

Don't worry about reading fast. Read right.
Read each paragraph and ask yourself, "what was that really about?" Try to understand it, not rush it.

I've completed my High School (10 + 2) this year & I'm looking for going to colleges. I want to become a Computer Software Engineer. I had Maths, Physics, Computer Science & Geography as my main 4 subjects in High School. I was reading a few articles on Software Engineering the other day & I came to know that to become a well-known Software Engineer, one had to give some kind of Entrance exams like AIEEE etc. But all of these entrance exams require Chemistry, which I didn't have. So does it mean I can't become a Software Engineer? Is there any other way to have a Bachelor & Master degree in Software Engineering without giving any kind of entrance exam? And will that be good?

I will be honest, I'm looking for making a good career so that I may get a chance to work at a good company or somewhere in abroad that pays me a good amount of money.

So please let me know what steps are required to become a formal Software Engineer, an most importantly if I can have a good future in this field.
Is Chemistry necessary for BCA or MCA? Is it a necessity to give Entrance exams to become a Software Engineer? I have heard that students of Commerce have been able to become Software Engineers.

I have also heard that Maths is highly recommended for Software Engineering. How high is this "highly recommendation"? Is it an A you have to get in Maths or will B do it?

Moreover, if one is seeking to go & work in countries like US or UK or CA, does the person have to have chemistry or pass entrance exams or will his / her MCA degree be enough for taking him / her outside?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Chemistry is not necessary for MCA.

Complete your 12th, then do BCA, then MCA. The basic requirement for BCA is 10 + 2. There are entrance tests for some university's for getting admission in MCA.

Maths is important because computers use maths all the time to solve problems. So, sharpen your maths skills. Also, gain loads of experience and you'll get 100% chance to move to US, UK, etc and work there. Nothing can stop you.

Im 32, BA in Elementary Education, minor in music. Parttime NYC school teacher. PLaying piano since age 5. Produced for some hop hop celebrities in the early 2000's.
I live with parents and dont have much money , obviously. lol
Now i want to open up a music school and teach kids piano . I want to teach kids music productions. Have a nice studio in the garagee to teach piano and more. I was thinking of teaching Handicapped and retarded students also. IF i do get married and have kids one day in the future i would like to put the studio in a garage and live next door. I would put a shingle sign on the lawn, just a small one saying " Music conservatory".
My questions are.
1. Do you think i can support my wife and kids doing this if i do have them in the future.

2. Would this be good even thought the economy is bad and people are loosing jobs. Will they have money for lessons. I though because most public schools are shutting down music programs so there WOULD be a need for piano lessons more now then ever and they would come to me.

3. How much should i charge. And how long should the lesson be.

4. Why is my female friend telling me that this is a bad idea and making fun of me that i am a dreamer and this is not a real job and i will be broke.

5 .Should i get a Masters degree in music? what field of music? Seems like you cant do that much with it lol no offense


PLease share your knowledge and answer all and give me all the advise possible

thanks

1. Absolutely, chances are you can make double or even triple what you would as a public school teacher. It will take time and skill to get to that point.

2. Music and art always survive despite the economy, the great depression bore that out quite well... If you are a good teacher, people will pay. If you are a good businessman, ie finance and marketing, you will make very good money. A shingle on the lawn will not do... its going to take a ton more work on the marketing side than that. Special needs students would be a rare specialty. Do you have any background in teaching special needs kids beyond the minimum required for your teaching license? Its not a calkwalk by any means.

3. You should have a business plan, and a knowledge of your competition and what sets you apart. From there, you will know your value, and can set your prices appropriately. Time wise it will depend on the students age/experience/ability to learn. Fixed time frames for individualized instruction are a holdover from public ed... students do not learn as well in that situation... and as a result, you dont make as much money either.

4. Some dreamers do big things, others only succeed after a ton of failures, others are best being content working for someone else. This will be a huge undertaking if its your solve source of income... are you committed and determined enough to make it go.. 100 hour work weeks are not unrealistic at the start, and you wont be paid for most of it. A driven dreamer can make this work, a passive dreamer likely wont. The question is which are you? Question 3, 4, and 5 suggest you are not driven...otoh, your success in music suggests otherwise. It could be you just lack focus, and once turned on will go full bore.

5. A Masters likely wont help much as far as private instruction goes, unless you want to get into the special needs area or music therapy. You need to look at the costs of 2 more yrs of school, and whether your proposed business can justify the cost.

I'd recommend you go to work for a music store for a year or two giving lessons as an employee. See how you like teaching, see how the business side operates, and from there make the call. To just jump in, without someone else paying for you to get experience often times doesnt work too well.

Can writing code really be considered engineering? I've seen high school drop-outs who read C++ for Dummies get software engineering jobs. I've never seen a mechanical engineer who didn't go to a university.
