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.

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.

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 : I am NYS certified in Literacy (grades 5-12) and English (grades 7-12), although I have several years of experience with children as young as Kindergarten.

As an educator, I view myself not as a provider of knowledge, but rather as a facilitator. I aim to encourage the critical thinking that will serve students not only in the classroom, but throughout their lives. In my experience, I have become well-versed in student-centered curriculum development programs, including Understanding by Design, which I have employed extensively in my own lesson planning with gratifying results. I have also been trained in, and have been implementing, the new Common Core Standards for over a year. My student teaching and observations in New York City public schools as well as my current tenured position in an inner city school district have provided me with valuable exposure to diverse classroom atmospheres and have allowed me to develop effective classroom management strategies. This range of both academic and practical classroom experience lends a bala ... read more

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 language but in skills development. I can teach anyone of any age to discover, embellish, and resourcefully utilize even the most obscure of their talents and abilities. For twelve years I coordinated and mentored forensic (public speaking) teams that participated in league competitions. I can teach the art of public speaking and can develop “baby steps” required to inspire confidence in one’s ability to overcome shyness and “terror” when speaking to either a large or small group of people. .
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 deve ... 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

I believe in developing a rapport with students, treating them as equals in the learning process. I have skills and knowledge that students can access, freely providing them with the information they need to be successful. I am organized, prepared and set clear objectives in terms of what I hope to accomplish. I try to keep a sense of humor and make learning a fun activity.
I went through a rigorous program in English Composition where I received my MA. Prior to that, I had several years of teaching experience as both a high school/middle school English and Social Studies. Later I taught 4 years of College English. Then I spent a couple of more years teaching high school English, in addition to spending one year tutoring students in SAT/Regents instruction. My particular passion is helping students generate, organize, develop, revise and edit their writing.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

The task is to create relevancy in a lesson plan. In order to bring relevancy to a topic teachers must be willing/able to determine each student's individual learning style. Not everyone learns the same way. Therefore, not everyone should be taught the same way. It is important to know the strengths, weakness, and interests of a student in order to create connections with the material, delivery, and instructor.
My first experience teaching was as a counselor at an ESL Summer Academy. After graduating, in 2008, I accepted a position as an instructional assistant at a High School in Storrs, Connecticut. When the school year ended, I was offered a contract to work as an English Teacher at an Academy in Korea! I have also been coaching male and female hockey players ages 4-20 since 2003.
