I worked as a lead news reporter for The Volunteer Times for a year, but have no formal collegiate Journalism training. I have been tutoring both peers and high school students during my stay at Lincoln Memorial University. Students regularly asked me to proofread their papers, and parents frequently contacted me for help with high school students senior research papers. I have made consistent A's in all of my English classes, and I currently hold a Bachelors degree in English.

Timothy B - New Market, TN 37820 (26.8 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Coming from a family with no prior college education, I made it a point to not only graduate from a four-year university but to work as hard as I could to be the best at what I do. I accomplished what I have set out to do by graduating with a degree at both institutes I attended with a GPA above 3.0. I have tutored my younger brother for several years in the four major subjects. I also worked in high school as a teaching aid for a 4th grade class at Jefferson Elementary School and actually taught math and science to the class. As part of the Jefferson County High Science Club, I volunteered for different workshops for kids that showed them the wonders of science. I like to accommodate to a child's personality and likes to help them to learn through distinct processes. When given the opportunity in the correct manner, children can learn most of what is put in front of them. By using examp

Denise L - Woodbine, KY 40771 (42.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. My goal is to work with your child where they are and help them find academic success. I am patient, understanding, and compassionate. I understand that when students struggle, they become frustrated. My goal is to find what method will work with your child so that learning becomes fun. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. As a 2010 graduate of Eastern Kentucky University, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I was President of our local Kentucky Education Association and Chair of our Student Government Association. I have earned two bachelor degr

Angelia J - Knoxville, TN 37920 (44.2 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $40.50/hr.
During my college years, while earning a degree in journalism, I tutored college-level English composition; this is when I first discovered the joy of helping someone learn something and “seeing the light come on” for them.
I have spent the last twenty years of my professional career in not-for-profit work, almost entirely devoted to programs involving mentoring children. I believe that success in academics is the foundation for success in other areas in life for children and young people.
I am a skilled writer and editor, but more importantly, I understand the importance of helping someone find their own skills and gifts; everyone has the potential to shape their own learning style, if given the direction and support to do so. We are all individuals and as such will have our own, unique styles of learning. My job as a tutor/mentor/teacher is to uncover that and foster the growt

Joy R - Knoxville, TN 37912 (45.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I have taught English to students at levels from seventh graders through college freshmen. My M.A. in English Literature equipped me to inspire both eager and reluctant students to write and read with confidence and capability. As a reporter, a proofreader, and an editor, I used language in the real world, and that application helps me inspire and motivate students. Teaching home-schooled students, international students, and students of widely varying ages, backgrounds, and ambitions has taught me to match the needs of the individual to the requirements of an increasingly competitive world. Teaching high school and college at the same time has given me enviable insight into what students need today to prepare them for tomorrow's needs. Assuming that most students would rather be anywhere than an English class, I listen to their interests of the moment and then relate them to my goals. I

Howard E - Mars Hill, NC 28754 (55.1 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $53.50/hr.
I believe that learning comes from a good rapport between teacher and student. I like to make students feel at ease, and then progress is achieved in the context of a safe learning environment. Rather than taking an authoritarian approach, I prefer to act as a kindly mentor and facilitator of students' learning processes. Learning is a voyage of discovery; my role is to show students how to set foot upon that road. However, I believe in setting high standards for student achievement. Although my degree and early experience is in journalism, I have spent 16 years teaching middle school English. During that time I taught English Language Arts, Journalism, and TV Production. I have always nurtured a love for English literature, both in myself and in my students. In addition, my experience as a reporter and freelance writer gives me deeper insight into the artistry of written English.
