My comments on tutoring Journalism : I wrote for my College Newspaper (The Hunter Arrow). Write a theme like you're writing a news article.."hook" the reader, get to the point, & say "AMEN" (that works well for sermons, too!)

I told my students there was no "wrong" way to present class material. They were told they would be videotaped & critiqued by their class members..BUT their presentation would be on their military specialty (eg. a Motor Pool SGT would do a class on vehicle maintenance)..thereby increasing the "comfort level" of the presenter & enhancing the knowledge of the class. The students would be taught to affirm each other & give each other positive "feed-back".
I taught for 9 yrs at the 1159 US Army Reserve Forces School. I helped soldiers get promoted to SSG, SFC, & MSG by providing them with skills in writing correspondence, public speaking, lesson planning & class preparation for delivery in both a classroom & tactical (field) environment. I also provided remedial training for soldiers needing additional work in writing,lesson planning & class presentation.

More About This Tutor...

I am a graduate of Houghton College. I graduated from this liberal arts college on May 12th of this year with a Bachelor’s degree in English/Writing and with a minor in Psychology. During my time at Houghton College, I was very involved with the student-run publications that the school offered. My junior and senior years I worked as a journalist for the school newspaper (http://www.houghtonstar.com/). I wrote articles covering diverse topics ranging from essays on sub-culture to an article covering the Oscars. My senior year, I was given the position of co-editor of the school literary magazine, after having been involved with the publication for two years prior to receiving this position. With this position came the responsibility of dealing with every aspect of the publication process, including finances, production, design, and advertisement, as well as the planning of release ... read more

I believe strongly that any student can be inspired to embrace learning. I have found that meeting students where they are at (academic level) is most crucial to inspiring learning. In additional, centering teaching around specific student needs is equally important. This is a challenge when students feel pressured to pass tests, but it can be done! I embrace an inquiry-based model of teaching/learning.
I have 23 years as a public school teacher in Rochester, NY. I hold a MS in Education in Secondary Social Studies, and a BA in Communications/Journalism. I am very familiar with the New York State Education Department's requirements in the areas of Social Studies and English Language Arts. My grammar and organizational skills are very strong, and I am an excellent writer and editor. The majority of my teaching has been in the area of Secondary Social Studies.

A Little Bit About Me...

• As a NESCAC undergraduate, I explored many areas of study. In addition to earning a BA in English and American Literature while completing a minor in African Studies, I also became fluent in French through study, travel, and teaching. My first teaching experiences were in high school, when I choreographed musicals and tutored a young Chinese boy in English. In college, I co-instructed a drum circle. Finally, this past summer I worked as a Residential Advisor at the Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy. In this position I was an academic advisor, a social mediator, and a confidante. In addition to formal tutoring, my strong writing skills have attracted peers in need of a second opinion on their work since high school.
As someone who was enthralled with literature and learning at a young age, I truly enjoy guiding young people through their learning processes. I believe that every ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As one who is interested in mathematics, science, and writing, I thoroughly enjoy sharing those interests with others and helping them to succeed as students. When tutoring, I do not make assumptions as to what the student already knows. Rather, I feel out where the student is at and build up from the student’s current knowledge. I avoid skipping steps while explaining problems or concepts so that the student can follow what I am saying in a logical progression. I also make use of examples to illustrate concepts and to familiarize students with the problem-solving process.
As a graduate of the University at Buffalo, I have supplemented my strong academic background with extensive experience in tutoring. In addition to earning a Bachelor’s Degree in mathematics, I spent the first two years of college completing coursework in physics. The following two years, I worked for the u ... read more

I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter.

A Little Bit About Me...

Writing has been the passion of my life: I love words, doing things with words, making words work, a capability I can readily transmit to others. I am extremely well read, a published writer, with a ready recall of literary texts to illustrate effective writing and useful technique. For 20 years I was a financial analyst at a NY brokerage, where I turned out 2,500 words per day of analysis and commentary. I was also a language and usage consultant at a financial boutique and a legal proofreader. I am particularly good at eliciting enthusiasm for good writing and appreciation of English grammar. I am a practiced writer with business and creative writing experience and training.
Teaching is the business of taking a student from one place to another. I begin with an individual assessment that takes account of the student’s perception of the problem and the academic goals he/she ... read more
