The rule for this one is simple: lens is always the correct spelling.

A lens is a curved piece of glass or other transparent material used to focus or change the direction of light. You’ll find lenses in glasses, cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and even your eyes.

So why does lense look so believable? Plenty of English words end in -se, and the plural lenses can make it feel as though there should be an “e” hiding at the end of the singular form. But there isn’t!

We’ve all done it: a test is tomorrow, so you stay up late trying to squeeze as much information into your brain as possible.

And cramming can help you remember information temporarily. The problem? It’s a pretty terrible strategy for actually learning it.

When students try to absorb a large amount of material at once, much of it is quickly forgotten. Staying up late also cuts into the sleep the brain needs to consolidate memories, while stress and fatigue can make it harder to focus and recall information when test time arrives.

A much better approach is spaced practice: shorter study sessions spread over several days, combined with active recall. Instead of simply rereading notes, put them away and quiz yourself, use flashcards, answer practice questions, or try explaining the material from memory.

Now that we're a few weeks into the school year, students are starting to get a clearer picture of what their classes will actually require. That makes this a great time to set some academic goals.

The key is to make those goals realistic and specific. “Get straight A’s” might sound motivating, but it doesn’t tell a student what to do differently. A goal like “turn in every assignment on time this quarter” or “study vocabulary for 15 minutes three nights a week” creates a concrete plan they can actually follow.

And remember: goals can change. If the first plan isn't working, that doesn't mean the student failed. It may simply mean it's time to adjust the strategy.

Happy Labor Day!

For many of us, Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer and a welcome three-day weekend. But the holiday has its roots in the American labor movement of the late 1800s.

During the Industrial Revolution, many Americans worked long hours in difficult and often unsafe conditions. As workers organized to advocate for better wages, reasonable hours, and safer workplaces, communities began holding events to recognize the contributions of working people.

The first Labor Day celebration was held in New York City on September 5, 1882, when thousands of workers participated in a parade organized by labor leaders. Over the following years, more states began recognizing the holiday, and in 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed legislation making Labor Day a federal holiday.

Today, Labor Day is observed on the first Monday in September and honors the generations of American workers whose efforts have helped shape our country.

So, how’s your school year going so far? Let us know how many squares you can check off!

A strong personal statement usually isn’t written in one sitting. The real work happens during revision. But editing an essay means more than fixing typos. In fact, proofreading should be one of the last things you do.

Start big: Does the essay tell the right story? Is it focused? Does it reveal something meaningful about who you are?

Then zoom in: Are your sentences clear and engaging? Does the writing sound like you? Are there words, phrases, or entire sentences that aren't pulling their weight?

Only after the story and writing are where you want them should you tackle the final grammar, spelling, and punctuation check.

Taking them one at a time can turn an overwhelming revision process into a much more manageable one, and help you submit an essay that's polished without losing your own voice.

Sometimes the difference between struggling with a subject and succeeding in it is having someone explain it in a way that finally clicks.

At Tutor A Team, one-on-one tutoring means we can slow down when a student needs more time, approach a concept from a different direction, fill in gaps that may be causing frustration, or move ahead when they're ready for a bigger challenge. The right support can help students become more confident, independent learners who know how to tackle difficult material instead of immediately deciding, "I'm just not good at this."

If your student could use a little extra support this school year, we're here to help. 📚

Think you remember your fifth-grade English lessons? It’s time for another round of "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" Answer in 3... 2... 1...

The correct answer is D) “The classroom was a zoo during indoor recess.”

A metaphor compares two things by saying that one is the other, while a simile uses words such as “like” or “as” to make the comparison. So while several of our answer choices compared a classroom to a zoo, only D did it metaphorically.

Another pair of words that sound interchangeable but have traditionally had different jobs: "farther" and "further."

"Farther" usually refers to a measurable physical distance: "We walked farther than we planned."

"Further" is generally used for figurative or abstract distance, or to mean "additional." For example, "Let’s discuss this further" or "For further information, ask your teacher."

An easy way to remember it? Farther has “far” in it, so think about how far you physically traveled.
