My comments on tutoring Journalism : I have a Journalism Degree from Iowa State University. I like to
find the lead (most newsworthy point) to begin the story, make it clear and
concise, and make it as complete and unbiased as possible.
Very informal and conversational. I like to laugh and joke as well as understand things that are challenging,
to both pupil and teacher. Repetition with interesting variation, coming at a problem from different angles
solidifies concepts and ideas in our heads.
I have a B.S. in Technical Journalism from Iowa State University. I worked on a sales magazine upon graduating
until I was drafted into the armed forces, spending four years as a Navy Electronics Technician. On the G.I. Bill
I did Television Production coursework at College of San Mateo and entered the Broadcast TV Graduate Program at
San Francisco State. I did not complete my Master's degree, but my training and contacts made there led to a
35-year career in television and video editing.
