NEW YORK, NY, January 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) As a result of breakdowns in public education and increasingly complicated admissions and certification tests, the tutoring industry has grown by an estimated 1,000 percent over the past decade. A new online service, www.AllYourTutoring.com, is offering a free introduction to qualified tutors for anyone searching for a competitive edge at school or work. Underpaid teachers, retired professors and unemployed graduates with advanced degrees offer their services over the innovative new website as a way to augment their earnings--and both students and teachers are benefiting from the matching service.
Founded by a career educator that witnessed the public school system erode over the past several years, AllYourTutoring.com was a creation of necessity as a growing number of parents sought after-school coaching for students that had slipped behind in fast-paced curriculums. After successfully referring several colleagues as tutors, it became obvious that a business opportunity existed for educators and graduate students with credentials, expertise and ambition.
The new company matches students with nearby tutors that specialize in a complete range of study areas and testing improvement techniques. The use of the search service is free to parents and students while tutors pay a small monthly fee to list their qualifications and availability. Topics include mathematics, science, history, English, foreign languages, business, music and exam preparation.
Prominent educators have noted that tutors play an essential role in helping students master topics and concepts that classroom education can easily skim over. Growing classroom sizes make individual student attention almost impossible even at the highest ranked schools--including top universities.
The online service provided by AllYourTutoring.com is launching in the greater New York City metro area and will expand nationally in 2012.

New materials remove CO2 from smokestacks, tailpipes and even the air
2012-01-05
Scientists are reporting discovery of an improved way to remove carbon dioxide — the major greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming — from smokestacks and other sources, including the atmosphere. Their report on the process, which achieves some of the highest carbon dioxide removal capacity ever reported for real-world conditions where the air contains moisture, appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Alain Goeppert, G. K. Surya Prakash, chemistry Nobel Laureate George A. Olah and colleagues explain that controlling emissions of carbon dioxide ...
Older, cheaper vacuum cleaners release more bacteria and dust
2012-01-05
Some vacuum cleaners — those basic tools for maintaining a clean indoor environment in homes and offices — actually contribute to indoor air pollution by releasing into the air bacteria and dust that can spread infections and trigger allergies, researchers report in a new study. It appears in ACS' journal Environmental Science & Technology.
Lidia Morawska and colleagues explain that previous studies showed that vacuum cleaners can increase levels of very small dust particles and bacteria in indoor spaces, where people spend about 90 percent of their time. In an effort ...
360 Diversity is Backing the Decision to Legalise Same Sex Marriage in Scotland
2012-01-05
360 diversity is encouraged by progress which is being made to the same sex marriage law in Scotland. After much opposition from religious groups, it is on the cards that gay marriage will be legalised in Scotland and in the future in England as well. Currently, same sex couples can only be joined in a civil partnership, which is also the case in England. The decision to change the law is currently being considered by the Scottish Government.
The Scottish Government is being urged to move forward with the change in the law by gay rights campaigners who claim the law ...
Blogging may help teens dealing with social distress
2012-01-05
WASHINGTON – Blogging may have psychological benefits for teens suffering from social anxiety, improving their self-esteem and helping them relate better to their friends, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association.

Dried licorice root fights the bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease
2012-01-05
Scientists are reporting identification of two substances in licorice — used extensively in Chinese traditional medicine — that kill the major bacteria responsible for tooth decay and gum disease, the leading causes of tooth loss in children and adults. In a study in ACS' Journal of Natural Products, they say that these substances could have a role in treating and preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
Stefan Gafner and colleagues explain that the dried root of the licorice plant is a common treatment in Chinese traditional medicine, especially as a way to enhance the ...
Antiestrogen therapy may decrease risk for melanoma
2012-01-05
PHILADELPHIA — Women with breast cancer who take antiestrogen supplements may be decreasing their risk for melanoma, according to a study published in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Christine Bouchardy, M.D., Ph.D., professor at the University of Geneva and head of the Geneva Cancer Registry, and colleagues analyzed data from 7,360 women who had breast cancer between 1980 and 2005. About half (54 percent) of these women received antiestrogen therapy.
The researchers followed the patients until 2008 and recorded ...
Mid-lane driving helps older adults stay safe
2012-01-05
It's official: older adults are naturally inclined to drive in the middle of the road, leaving the younger generation to cut corners.
This tendency to sit mid-lane is an in-built safety mechanism that helps pensioners stay safe behind the wheel, according to researchers at the University of Leeds, UK.
The findings of the study, which are published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology Human Perception and Performance, have shown how older people naturally adapt when they can no longer move with the freedom they once had. Researchers hope that the work will be used ...
Exercise is good for your waistline – But it's a writing exercise
2012-01-05
Is losing weight as simple as doing a 15-minute writing exercise? In a new study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, women who wrote about their most important values, like close relationships, music, or religion, lost more weight over the next few months than women who did not have that experience.
"We have this need to feel self-integrity," says Christine Logel of Renison University College at the University of Waterloo, who cowrote the new study with Geoffrey L. Cohen of Stanford University. When something threatens ...
