Journalism Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ellendale, DE

I believe that education is continuous and requires participation by all involved parties, meaning students must be active and constant participants in their education as well as the teacher. I also understand that no two individuals learn in exactly the same manner causing my methods as a teacher to constantly change to best fit the needs of the individual. All students, children, adults, etc. can learn if given the right environment, support, and encouragement. My goal as a teacher is not only to educate but to give students the tools and knowledge with which to teach themselves in the future. My undergraduate degree of Communication allowed me to use my knowledge and skills of writing, editing, and publishing as a springboard towards my true passion of teaching and working with adolescents. As a public school teacher with six years experience, both in Pennsylvania and Delaware, I have

I have worked in a wide range of business and educational settings and have worked with students from grade school to adult. When I earned my BS in English, with a thirty credit business minor, I already had fifteen years experience working in a family run retail store. I have since worked a range of jobs including teaching business, computer and English classes. I also worked as a computer systems installer, service manager and office manager. I bring to my teaching a wide range of experience combined with a strong understanding of my subject areas. As a teacher I believe that students learn best by doing, so I plan my lessons to engage students with meaningful activities that are mastered with hands on activity rather than teacher lead discussion.

I am a recent graduate of Johns Hopkins University, earning a BA in Public Health Studies. During my time at Johns Hopkins I interned in clinical research at the School of Medicine, where I served as research coordinator for a study in adolescent women's health within the department of pediatrics. My academic pursuits and experience in clinical research required solid writing skills and the ability to compose academic research papers, laboratory reports and grant proposals. I have worked as a private tutor for students in/around Baltimore for the past three years, tutoring high school students in the sciences, math (algebra I-II, geometry) and English (composition, reading, SAT prep, ESL). I believe students, regardless of their individual learning style, can be successful in their academic pursuits. My approach to teaching focuses upon the individual student and his/her needs.

I'm currently enrolled in a Masters of Arts of Teaching graduate program.Former instructors, professors and employers describe me as personable, ambitious, confident, reliable, disciplined and a dedicated individual. I graduated in 2006 from Saint Joseph’s University with Bachelor of Arts degrees in English and Fine Arts. As a junior, I was chosen to study art abroad. Upon my return, I was selected to be a Residential Assistant. In this role I completed a comprehensive training program focusing on communication skills, counseling and health, emergency response, team building and conflict resolution. In addition, I created, planned, and implemented educational, social, and recreational programs with residents and faculty. I am confident I have a gift for recognizing talent in every individual; becoming an instructor is my calling and I am eager to pursue my dream. The formal training I

I believe in the power of positive teaching. I think that most students live up to or down to your expectations. If you expect them to do well, they frequently do. Sometimes all that is needed is for teachers and other persons whose opinions matter to exhibit faith in the student's ability. But it is also often necessary to help them identify what doesn't work and find new approaches that will. Writing is a skill that is crucial to academic success in college; students must excel in writing to do well in an academic environment. Writing is also a useful skill when it comes to thinking and to organizing one's thoughts. I am most comfortable with tutoring students who are preparing for college. Public school is not always rigorous enough for gifted students. When instruction fails to keep students engaged, they learn poor study habits. Ideally, students master study techniques before enter

As an educator, my understanding and approach to learning comes from placing myself in the perspective of the student. Therefore, student's opinion on coursework needs to be heard in order to create effective learning goals. I believe this will increase a student's motivation and connection to the material. Connections, which are endless and create concrete understanding for students. I am very passionate, easy going and understanding of students. Although, I set the highest expectations because I believe the student can achieve them. Each student can succeed and they will. The University of Delaware has integrated me into the education field with a variety of experiences. I will earn my degree in May of 2011, becoming certified in Elementary Teacher Education and Middle School Social Studies. Over the past few years, I have strengthened in my ability to work with students of diverse nee

As an educator, I have tutored students in mathematics and English from grades 4 through college level. I have taught songwriting in summer camps, 4th grade language arts and ESL to high school kids fresh from Korea. Also, as a Youth Advocate, part of my job description was helping my kids with school work and homework. LOUD & LIVELY! I like to make the lessons I teach interesting and involvement is key. If I can educate and entertain (a tool I use), I command participation, respect and learning. Due to my style, students, once in a while, think it's all fun and games. I am also an enforcer of rules. If you want to continue to have learn and have fun, you better act right.

As an Ivy League graduate, I am motivated to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned my bachelor's degree in Biology and Master's degree in Bioethics from an Ivy League Medical School. I hope to continue my education with a PhD in the next few years. My background and experience have trained me to explain difficult concepts very easily to students of all ages. Throughout college, I have tutored in English, Writing, Science, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Government. I love teaching! Nothing makes me happier than teaching a student a difficult problem. I am extremely patient, easy going, considerate and honest. My goal is to provide the best education at the adequate pace for the student. I love reinforcing concepts so that my students are able to conceptually understand what they are learning. I also relate problems with one another so that the student can un

Tutoring is very important to me. I learn as well as teach through my process. Although I believe grammar is very important, I aim to teach organizational skills within any student's writing. I have noticed that most students have more difficulty with making connections within their own writing than with grammar. Furthermore, I find an immense pleasure in successfully tutoring a student. I understand that students can feel nervous, angry, and upset when they are being tutored; I make sure to consider their feelings so I can gain their trust. A student who trusts their instructor is always more willing to learn. Finally, if I can make a person happier about learning then I consider myself successful. I am a senior at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey who will be graduating this year. I hold a 3.9 GPA in the Literary Studies program. On top of this, I will be graduating with a min
