News Writing, PR, and Feature writing proficiency. My teaching attitude is patient, articulate, and meticulous. I have clients come to me with a writing purpose - an essay, a specific assignment, or the desire to write creatively purely for fun. I make sure I help an individual say exactly what they want on paper in a non-generic way. I encourage clients to be creative and to challenge the formulaic patterns of writing, while still respecting writing assignment expectations and goals.
I help in the following areas:
- Grammar & Editing
- Organization, Outline & Structural Development
- Exploratory creative writing exercises
- Teaching literary elements and techniques using the Bedford Literary Glossary
- Essay Writing (Persuasive, Critical Analysis, Evaluative, Personal, Feature, Editorial etc) I recently graduated from Gordon College with a degree in English Literature and a conce

Jill S - Epping, NH 03042 (8.2 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I have been helping students improve their skills since 1989, and there is nothing that thrills me more than a student's "aha!" moment, when everything they are trying to learn just clicks for them. For the past several years I have taught introductory critical thinking and basic essay-writing; students come to me when they have difficulty finding the words for what is in their heads, and I work with them one-on-one to help them express their analyses. I have assisted many students in writing college acceptance essays, term papers, book reviews, and all other written assignments. I know how to help students establish good work habits and systematize their work for less drama-filled, more successful academic experiences. My skills, which I learned in the Education Bachelor's degree program at the University of Connecticut, emphasize the development of critical thinking and clear expressi

Most of my career has involved some level of teachng or training.

Kevin P - Amesbury, MA 01913 (21.8 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.50/hr.
It has been my experience that most students appreciate an opportunity to sit quietly and think carefully over a problem. Time for a short burst of creative and intense scrutiny is a rare luxury for most of my highly-stimulated students. My philosophy is that learning is a student's job and they should give that job the attention it deserves. I encourage my students to explore while learning but believe in providing a structure and models in which to do so. I am firm in my expectations of my students and insist that they work just as hard as I do myself. With over 18 years of experience in Education I am capable of teaching to a variety of students and learning styles. My particular areas of expertise are composition, grammar, English literature (Shakespeare specialization), Latin, and American history. I am a working editor and writer and believe that the ability to communicate clearly

David P - Leominster, MA 01453 (52.2 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.00/hr.
As a 2008 graduation of Westfield State College with a Bachelor of Arts in English Education I have enjoyed being a high school English teacher for two years. My training prior to my career involves experience with English at all four high school levels, drama (both academic and extra curricular,) speech methods and instruction, and urban school environments. Additionally, career opportunities while teaching have allowed me to pursue new and progressive methods of teaching literature and writing. I have a passion for teaching and working with students, and I am highly energetic and enthusiastic in the classroom. I make it a priority to help students understand that even if a subject isn't enjoyable to them, it is still rewarding to achieve success with it. I make an effort to adapt to each students learning style, whether visual, kinesthetic, auditory, or something different. By reaching
