Tutoring
There are 3 types of tutoring provided by us.
1. In- Home /In-Person Tutoring
2. Online Tutoring
(a) Instant message tutoring
(b) E-mail tutoring
3. Real-time tutoring over the Internet
In - Home/In-Person tutoring is a conventional type of tutoring where tutor and students have face to face interaction with each other. This is the best type of tutoring for local students.
Online tutoring has been around almost as long as the Internet and takes the following form:
Instant message tutoring is the process by which knowledge is imparted from a tutor or knowledge provider or expert to a student or knowledge recipient over the Internet. In E-mail tutoring , the tutor or knowledge provider creates knowledge content in a very structured and methodical manner. The student accesses this knowledge at their own time and pace. Interaction between the tutor and the student takes place via email.
Real time tutoring over the Internet :With increased bandwidth students and tutors can now engage online at the same time as in a physical classroom. With additional technology tools the tutor can present material on their computer to the student and students & tutors may work on the material on a "whiteboard" at the same time. The whiteboard is the equivalent of a physical classroom blackboard and allows the tutor to write and generate illustrations in real-time. Real-time tutoring typically contains both audio and video devices.
A weaker variation of the real-time tutoring is the use of online chat / instant messaging by the tutor to interact in real-time with students.

Scholarship
Scholarship is the pursuit of academic research, whether in the arts and humanities or sciences, and in all such fields means deep mastery of a subject, often through study at institutions of higher education.
A scholarship is also an award of access to such an institution, or a financial aid award for an individual student scholar, for the purpose of furthering their education.
Scholarships are awarded based on a range of criteria which usually reflect the values and purposes of the donor or founder of the award.
Here I am going to give you some insight about the scholarship facility in Indian Govt. schools for SC/ST/ OBC/ Minority students.
Govt. school provides scholarships to students of all Classes.Scholarship ranges from Rs. 300- 800 per annum.
There are many conditions to get a scholarship in Govt. School, viz. student should be from Delhi only, income of parents should not be more than Rs. 35000, etc.

Student Loan in Australia
In Australia, students can pay for university courses using the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS).
The selection criterion for HECS is based on the rank achieved in the secondary school final examination.
HECS fees are government-subsidised and are substantially cheaper than full-fee paying places which have lower entry requirements.-
Courses are ranked into three bands, with a year's tuition costing around $4,000–$6,000 AUD.
Students have the option of deferring the HECS fee until they start earning above a certain threshold, whereupon they will repay the government through the tax system; the amount owed is indexed to inflation.
Alternatively, students can pay upfront at the beginning of the semester; this option provides a 25% discount (2004).
Recent legislative changes that allow a high proportion of full-fee paying places, and lower upfront payment discounts have been a source of controversy.

Student Loan in United Kingdom
British undergraduate and PGCE students can apply for a loan through their local education authority (LEA) in England and Wales, the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS), or their local education and library board in Northern Ireland. The LEA, SAAS, or education and library board then assesses the application and determines the amount that the student is eligible to borrow, as well as how much tuition fees, if any, the students' parents must pay. The family's income; whether the student will be living at home, away from home, or in London; disabilities; and other factors are taken into account. 75% of the full loan (around £3,000) is available to all students in England and Wales, with only the final 25% being means-tested (taking the total available up to as much as £4,000). There is also extra money (currently roughly another £1,000) if you go to university in London, where it is deemed the extra cost of living necessitates a higher loan. Scotland has a slightly different assessment method where more of the loan is means-tested with a minimum loan of only £840. However much you get, it is paid in three installments during each year of the student's course (one per term). Special rules apply for some courses and for part-time courses.
Loans are provided by the Student Loans Company and do not have to be repaid until students have completed their course and are earning £15,000 a year (£10,000 until April 2005). The interest rate is updated annually and is tied to inflation (currently 2.6%), making the loan interest-free in real terms. The loan is normally repaid using the PAYE system, with 9% of the graduate's gross salary over £15,000 automatically being deducted to pay back the loan. There is no particular schedule for clearing the debt, but, if it has not been cleared 25 years after repayment began, or the student turns 65 years old, the remaining debt will be cancelled. For students beginning courses before 1998, the arrangements for repaying and deferring are different. Although Scottish students have their tuition fees covered by the SAAS during their time of study, much of this is actually repaid in a Graduate Endowment.
The Higher Education Act 2004 will make significant changes to the loans system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland from 2006. Upfront tuition fees will be abolished, with the fee being added to students' loans for them to pay back after their course is finished. However, instead of the tuition fee being fixed at around £1,150 for all universities (which, due to means-testing, not all have to pay), universities will be able to charge variable fees of up to £3,000. For students who have already started their courses and, as such, are still paying the upfront fees, can now add these fees to their loans if they want. Critics claim these top-up fees will create tiers of "expensive" and "cheap" universities and make university financially inaccessible to many students. As a result, there have been national demonstrations and protests by students' unions.

Mordern chemistry focuses on the study of elements of the world and the bonds between elements.Also Chemistry deals with composition, structure, and properties of substances and the transformations that they undergo.In the study of matter, chemistry also investigates its interactions with energy and itself.
Because of the diversity of matter, which is mostly in the form of atoms, chemists often study how atoms of different chemical elements interact to form molecules, and how molecules interact with each other.
A chemical database is a database specifically designed to store chemical information.
Most chemical databases store information on stable molecules.
Chemical structures are traditionally represented using lines indicating chemical bonds between atoms and drawn on paper (2D structural formulae).While these are ideal visual representations for the chemist, they are unsuitable for computational use and especially for search and storage.
Large chemical databases are expected to handle the storage and searching of information on millions of molecules taking terabytes of physical memory.

More than 550 excellent colored notes on this website!
This facility is available only for
Class/Grade : IX, X, XI & XII
Competitive Exams : NDA, SAT & CAT
Our workshops have unique approach. Here students submit their questions which are then solved and explained in such an interesting manner that students do not get bored. Interactive sessions keep two way communication open. It becomes a participatory "play".
The moment students are in play mode, they are not conscious of learning. This psychological state unlocks their true infinite creativity and learning potential.
Once this attitude changes, the students become more and more confident, hence independent to learn, which they should.
Excellent academic performance of past students bears ample testimony to this interactive learning approach.

Scholarship Types
Scholarships may be classified into four primary groups.
Merit-based - financial aid for which financial need is not used to determine the recipient. The recipient may be determined by students’ athletic, academic, artistic or other abilities. The actual monetary value of the scholarship may be negligible, the scholarship being meant to motivate the student and promote the study of the subject. However, this is not always the case and the largest scholarships are almost always merit-based.
Athletic - In the U.S. and other countries athletes who perform well in various athletic endeavors are offered athletic scholarhips.
Need-based - financial aid for which the student and family’s financial situation is a primary factor in determining the recipient. Usually such scholarship will cover all or part of the tuition and may even cover living-costs. Very often even need-based private scholarships require the awardees to be distinguished students, as the deed founding the award may include a phrase like: “for the studies of founder's favourite subject in founder's favourite institution of higher education for a talented youths of limited means from founder's home town/county/state etc.
“Ethnicity-based - financial aid where applicants must initially qualify by race, religion, or national origin. After filtering the applicants based on their ethnicity, additional factors are taken into consideration to determine the final recipients.
General - Other scholarships which are awarded for a variety of reasons which do not fall into one of the above categories. These may be for reasons of the student's association with the objectives of the sponsoring organization. For example, some corporations give scholarships to their employees' children.
Some scholarships have a "bond" requirement. Recipients may be required to work for a particular employer for a specified period of time, or to work in rural or remote areas; otherwise they may be required to repay the value of the support they received from the scholarship. This is particularly the case with teacher training scholarships and currently with health and medical education scholarships for people from or prepared to work in rural and remote areas in Australia. The programs offered by the uniformed services of the United States (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National oceanic and atmospheric administration commissioned corps, and Public Health Service Commissioned Corps) sometimes resemble such scholarships.
