My comments on tutoring Journalism : I know how to keep sentences & paragraphs short and can make quick corrections under deadline pressure.

I will use examples to teach. I will provide students with examples of the correct and incorrect ways to write a sentence. I will show pupils how to proofread their work for spelling and grammatical errors so that they do not rely solely on their spellchecker.

Education: Montclair State University BA - Art History BA - General Humanities Minor - Art History Other - Sigma Alpha Lambda Honors Society I am a museum educator and professional writer. Museum Education: I began volunteering with a local museum in the fourth grade and have continued ever since. I have always preferred working in living history museums as opposed to the big, dusty museums with everything behind glass beside little plaques that are too wordy even for industry professionals to find interesting. I've had many wonderful experiences portraying real individuals as well as no-name individuals from the Revolutionary War all the way up through the first half of the 20th century. Real, tangible history is what I always aim for - I can cook on a wood burning stove and know the basics of pre-industrialized farming, just to name a few things. Writing: I ... read more

My comments on tutoring Journalism : Encouraging instruction from a quality tutor can help students realize the full extent of their talent and ability. As evinced by my professional and scholarly background, I maintain a sincere enthusiasm for the development of reading and writing proficiencies. After earning a juris doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law — during which time I worked as a staff writer for a legal news publication — I subsequently established a freelance writing and editing business. Collectively, these experiences involved extensive practice in advanced English composition, journalism, legal writing, scholarly research, news media, proofreading, and editing. With experienced instruction, there is no doubt your student can achieve great literary success.

Learning is a lifelong process!

Every student is unique and benefits from an individualized instruction. My style is business casual; I am firm yet warm and encouraging with students.
My very first year of teaching was at the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School, and I also taught for two years at Northern Lehigh High School. Currently, I am resigned and staying home, but looking to work part time. I have experience teaching grades 7-12 and working with all types of students. The classes I've taught range from Honors English to a class which targeted students struggling to gain proficiency in English related PSSA skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching methods include brainstorming, thought organization, use of the thesaurus, and use of adverb and adjective clauses to overcome writer’s block. These are in part “taught” but also developed by recognition and support of inborn talents. Operative use of vocabulary is also imperative to the development of both writing and speaking skills. Practice is as much a key to success as it is in sports, music, or in any discipline. Research is an important tool in the process of effective writing as well as speaking. Research skills are best taught by demonstration. Didactic methods are dry and uninspiring. It is best to teach research skills by actually working with the student.
For more than twenty years I have had experience in report writing, creative writing, speech writing, resumes, and projects. My expertise lies not only in the proficient use of the English langu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a firm believer that every student has a unique way of learning. Every student is different and therefore no student should be taught the same. In my classroom I intertwine the works of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence with Dewey's Constructivism to create an interactive learning environment. It is a goal of mine to allow each student to show their ability in the best manner that they can. Through the philosophy I teach by, I feel I reach each student to address their own unique abilities and skills. During the course of my studies I have come across a quote that as a teacher I live by, "If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn."
I have had various experiences from Pre-K through the middle school age, with a strong concentration in Language Arts at the primary level. I am Elementary School certified K-8 and I am Highly Qual ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement. I learned teaching and assessment techniques and I learned to modify teaching style according to students needs.
I have ten years experience working as a substitute teacher for the public school system, in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I also have there years experience working as a tutor in the state of New York, one to one, with failing students, teaching reading and math to students that range from K to 12th grade.

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach using a phenomenological approach, one that is perhaps best illustrated by the psychiatrist, Carl R. Rogers. In other words, I believe every student can be reached through open conversation and discussion. This approach requires patience, the ability to read and understand students, and the skill of relating to students' temperaments, interests, and learning styles. While I often appear laid-back to the students I teach, I am constantly conscious of my openness to students and their needs in order to direct them towards a positive learning experience.
My ten years of teaching experience consists of tutoring, subbing, and teaching full time at the middle and high school levels, tutoring and teaching English to adolescents and adults in Prague, CZ, and tutoring and teaching for SAT companies. I attained my teaching certification after completing my student teaching at a s ... read more

I excel at making complicated concepts accessible through questions aimed at helping learners draw their own conclusions.

While earning my M.S. In journalism at Columbia University, I honed my writing based on the editing of professors who had worked at such publications as The New York Times and The Washington Post. Frequent editing during more than a decade as a professional journalist has familiarized me with the type of feedback most useful to developing writers..
