Journalism is one of my top subjects! I am graduating with my Master's in Journalism this May.

Instead of telling the student the correct answer, I prefer to help them understand why the answer is correct. With writing, there can be better ways to word a sentence or rearrange a paragraph and I try to help them figure this out on their own. That way, the next time they run into a similar issue, they remember how they improved their writing the previous time.
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Writing in 2008 and am graduating this May (2012) with a Master's Degree in Journalism. I worked as a English, Writing, and Grammar Tutor for two years at both my college and graduate school. I have had experience tutoring and writing a variety of styles and genres including creative writing, non-fiction, editorials, poetry, blogs, press releases, and feature articles.

I have been in educator for over 10 years. I started teaching because of my volunteer work at the Memphis Literacy Council. I love teaching because I believe that education is the key to our country's future in this global competitive marketplace. We must prepare our children for the challenges of tomorrow because we live in such a dynamic world. I believe that every child can learn regardless of his or her situation. When given enough time on task and effective, instruction all kids learn. This is what I do.

More About This Tutor...

I am a committed educator with more than 15 years of combined experience in Secondary Education, Adult Training Management, Adult Training Facilitation and Adult Training Development. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Instructional Design, a Master of Arts in Teaching certification in Secondary Education Curriculum and Instruction and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Liberal Arts. During the last 15 years of my professional career I have worked in the education industry.
As an educator, the first task is to determine the educational needs of the students. Next, I assess the student's current level of ability to identify the areas of the curriculum that may present barriers to them. In order to eliminate those barriers, I may need to modify the teaching strategy to meet the needs of the student. It is important to tailor the lessons and presentations so that all students have a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As language is universal and so critial in conveying ideas, I truly enjoy teaching others to express themselves verbally and in writing. I believe it is important to explain the value of a particular subject matter and give a detailed summary of what should be accomplished in the lesson. I utilize a rather formal teaching style, because language has specific "rules" as far as what is correct or incorrect and what is acceptable speech, as opposed to unacceptable slang terminology.
I developed a love for language, writing and learning as a high school student, so majoring in English was the natural choice for me. I graduated high schoool with honors and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Millsaps College, a small liberal arts college, well-known for its academic excellence in MS and across the nation. After college I worked as a substitute instructor for all grade levels in my ... read more
