Journalism is one of my top subjects! Two years staff writer for Lowell Sun. Five years freelance.

I believe in identifying where a student lies on the subject he/she is studying before going further. The advantage of one on one tutoring compared to classroom is that the lesson can be based around where the student’s strengths and weaknesses are rather than a blanket method. I also believe that the skills used in English can be best practiced and analyzed through writing rather than worksheets and tests. Therefore, I believe in having the student write on a variety of subjects and working through these pieces to show where they can improve.
I graduated from Fitchburg State University in 2009 with a Bachelor’s of Science in English and Professional Writing. I went on to become a staff writer for the Lowell Sun, a daily print publication in Lowell, Massachusetts. When I was laid off due to budget cuts, I wrote freelance for several entertainment and political publications. I a ... read more

My comments on tutoring Journalism : News Writing, PR, and Feature writing proficiency.

I recently graduated from Gordon College with a degree in English Literature and a concentration in Creative Writing. I manage two personal blogs, which include my non-fiction stories, poetry, and artwork, and I have published 5 different articles for various Gordon journals. In high school, I took all Honors English courses, and received college credit for my English AP Exam. At Gordon College, my essay writing abilities, as well as my breadth of creative writing, rapidly developed as I typically had 3-4 writing assignments a week. Writing has become a hobby and a career path for me, and I help others write, edit, and consolidate their ideas. Courses taken include: Intro to Creative Writing Advanced Creative Writing Journalism 1: News Writing Journalism 2: Feature Writing The Literary Journal World Literature British Literarute 1&2 American Contemporary Literature 1945-Present ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Jan Hunter is a creative problem solver who has enjoyed two successful careers. Her experience as a radio journalist was not only rewarding and award winning but also an ideal training ground for her public relations career. Her inherent understanding of how the media really works is one of her greatest assets and a consistent key to her clients’ success. Jan’s media background proved a springboard to a career in public relations, working first as a communications manager for a prominent New England resort before becoming Corporate Public Relations Director at Boston advertising agency RGS&H where she supervised a range of activities such as strategy development, crisis communications, and event planning. After advising a diverse spectrum of clients including Star Markets, Ecco Shoes, Togo’s, (part of the Dunkin Donuts chain), and nationwide agency Rapp Collins Marcoa and its aff ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 and effectively (a skill I teach to all of my students) provides the foundation for all future learning.
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 whi ... read more

Coming from a family of teachers, the importance of education has always been stressed to me. The emphasis was placed not only on succeeding academically, but also to gain a true understanding of the subject matter. I hold an Associates of Applied Science in Community Service and Leadership and graduated Magna Cum Laude. I also hold a Bachelors of Science in Family Studies with a concentration on early childhood education and graduated Summa Cum Laude. I have an extensive knowledge of reading, writing and grammar and have always scored well into the 90th percentiles on standardized tests in these areas. I completed studies in French I, Spanish II, Modern Greek, and am fluent in American Sign Language.
Working with children has always been my passion. I feel as though it is important to engage all different types of learners and to make them feel as if the classroom is a place where ... read more

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 ex ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a lot to offer, having lived many lives in one lifetime. I am a quintessential American-born woman with good Russian language skills. I am hands on, and patient. My computer skills are very good. Successful myself, I know how to nurture that aspect in others. Understanding that all of us learn best in one way or another, I am adaptable. I can teach by modeling or discovery; importantly I find using the context of a larger world very useful in coaxing the desire to learn anything, and learn it well, invaluable.
I have owned a publishing company for several years and my English language skills, writing and editing, are top-notch, functioning as publisher and editor-in-chief. My experience in business further defines me as a woman with both academic knowledge and practical market expertise. I have good Russian language skills and understand well its grammar.

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

I am certified by the Massachusetts Department of Education in both areas.

I love being a teacher and working with children. I feel that all students learn differently, and therefore there should be many ways of expressing this knowledge. I am patient with students, and helping them to understand that through their mistakes they will only do better.
After completing my BA in English with a writing degree, and then getting my M. Ed in Elementary Education, I am a fourth grade teacher. I am very passionate about education and helping my students to do their best.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in constructive criticism and positive reinforcement, steering students to find their own voice and style. I recommend simplicity in writing and the importance of making arguments in a clear, concise manner. For many students, writing is deeply personal, and I'll always respect their choices while guiding them to improve their presentation.
In addition to working for many years as a writer and editor for newspapers, Harvard Law School, and as a freelancer, I have volunteered as a writing tutor and ESL classroom tutor. I have worked with students on a wide range of skills, from bolstering the English-language ability of students from other countries to helping advanced students craft sophisticated academic analysis and college essays. I enjoy using my editorial skills to help students improve their writing and succeed in school.

A Little Bit About Me...

Whether I am helping a student with prioritizing assignments, studying for tests, teaching study skills, or guiding him or her process of writing papers, I strive to promote metacognitive awareness throughout the tutoring experience. Students ultimately need to develop an awareness of how they learn best and what strategies work for them. It is my job to facilitate this process while yielding improved academic results through collaboration with students along the way.
Over the course of my years as a Learning Specialist in a university setting, and as Master Tutor Certified by The College Reading and Learning Association, I have developed and refined successful techniques with students who may struggle with the following: executive functioning issues, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asberger’s Syndrome, English as a Second Language, and various non-verbal learning disabilities. MI also have ex ... read more
