Journalism Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Houston, DE

I have worked in a wide range of business and educational settings and have worked with students from grade school to adult. When I earned my BS in English, with a thirty credit business minor, I already had fifteen years experience working in a family run retail store. I have since worked a range of jobs including teaching business, computer and English classes. I also worked as a computer systems installer, service manager and office manager. I bring to my teaching a wide range of experience combined with a strong understanding of my subject areas. As a teacher I believe that students learn best by doing, so I plan my lessons to engage students with meaningful activities that are mastered with hands on activity rather than teacher lead discussion.

My undergraduate degree of Communication allowed me to use my knowledge and skills of writing, editing, and publishing as a springboard towards my true passion of teaching and working with adolescents. As a public school teacher with six years experience, both in Pennsylvania and Delaware, I have worked with various types of learners, IEPs, testing situations, and curricula. I also have six years experience in tutoring and homebound instruction. I believe that education is continuous and requires participation by all involved parties, meaning students must be active and constant participants in their education as well as the teacher. I also understand that no two individuals learn in exactly the same manner causing my methods as a teacher to constantly change to best fit the needs of the individual. All students, children, adults, etc. can learn if given the right environment, support, a

I believe students, regardless of their individual learning style, can be successful in their academic pursuits. My approach to teaching focuses upon the individual student and his/her needs. Education is the key to opportunity and advancement. I pride myself on helping students recognize the importance of reading and writing as a means of their own advancement and the platform to achieve their academic and professional goals, whatever they may be. I am a recent graduate of Johns Hopkins University, earning a BA in Public Health Studies. During my time at Johns Hopkins I interned in clinical research at the School of Medicine, where I served as research coordinator for a study in adolescent women's health within the department of pediatrics. My academic pursuits and experience in clinical research required solid writing skills and the ability to compose academic research papers, laborato

Public school is not always rigorous enough for gifted students. When instruction fails to keep students engaged, they learn poor study habits. Ideally, students master study techniques before entering college either through school instruction or tutoring. I have writing, public speaking and other communications courses at the university level. I have also worked as an editor for the better part of two decades so I am good at identifying writing problems and helping students to correct them. I am also an enthusiastic student of American history and government and enjoy sharing that subject with students. I believe in the power of positive teaching. I think that most students live up to or down to your expectations. If you expect them to do well, they frequently do. Sometimes all that is needed is for teachers and other persons whose opinions matter to exhibit faith in the student's abili

The University of Delaware has integrated me into the education field with a variety of experiences. I will earn my degree in May of 2011, becoming certified in Elementary Teacher Education and Middle School Social Studies. Over the past few years, I have strengthened in my ability to work with students of diverse needs and present effective instruction for the particular learner. This increases the student's motivation and desire to learn. From the opportunity to study abroad in Spain and Italy, I was exposed to different cultures broadening my understanding of human nature. Part of my course work has included developing unit plans, lesson portfolios, assessments and materials for students. As an educator, my understanding and approach to learning comes from placing myself in the perspective of the student. Therefore, student's opinion on coursework needs to be heard in order to create

I love teaching! Nothing makes me happier than teaching a student a difficult problem. I am extremely patient, easy going, considerate and honest. My goal is to provide the best education at the adequate pace for the student. I love reinforcing concepts so that my students are able to conceptually understand what they are learning. I also relate problems with one another so that the student can understand the basis of what they've learned and why its important as well. As an Ivy League graduate, I am motivated to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned my bachelor's degree in Biology and Master's degree in Bioethics from an Ivy League Medical School. I hope to continue my education with a PhD in the next few years. My background and experience have trained me to explain difficult concepts very easily to students of all ages. Throughout college, I have tutored in En
