Her experience as a radio journalist was not only rewarding and award winning but also an ideal training ground for her public relations career.

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 fo

While I have never conducted a formal tutoring session, I have edited the work of my peers and more recently assisted my girlfriend's younger sister with the completion of her college essay. From my experience, I have found that I prefer to work one-on-one with the student whose work I am editing. That way, I am able to explain my revisions and help them understand my reasoning behind making certain edits. I'm not, by any means, a hard-nosed individual, but I'll certainly do my best to ensure that the student learns something. Not only was English my favorite subject as well as the one I was most proficient in in high school, it eventually became my major in college. I majored in Journalism at The University of New Hampshire, and while I have not yet received my Bachelor's of Arts from the institution I am a mere handful of credits away from earning it (9, to be exact), an accomplish

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.
