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.

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

Jessica B - Rye Beach, NH 03871 (5.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $41.00/hr.
Coming from a family of teachers, the importance of education has always been stressed to me.

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.

Kevin P - Amesbury, MA 01913 (14.7 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.50/hr.
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 which to

Jill S - Epping, NH 03042 (15.3 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $40.50/hr.
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 expressi

Leigh J - Burlington, MA 01803 (42.3 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $51.00/hr.
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. 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.

Lewis R - Arlington, MA 02476 (43.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $46.50/hr.
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. 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.
