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 accomplishment I am attempting to achieve by transferring credits over from The Community College of Rhode Island. While attending UNH, I wrote for the school's newspaper, The New Hampshire, edited my fellow writer's work, and eventually went on to intern and temporarily work for our local Valley Breeze. 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

Jan Hunter is a creative problem solver who has enjoyed two successful careers. Her experience as a radio journalist was not only rewarding and award winning but also an ideal training ground for her public relations career. Her inherent understanding of how the media really works is one of her greatest assets and a consistent key to her clients’ success. Jan’s media background proved a springboard to a career in public relations, working first as a communications manager for a prominent New England resort before becoming Corporate Public Relations Director at Boston advertising agency RGS&H where she supervised a range of activities such as strategy development, crisis communications, and event planning.

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

During my four years at Roger Williams University, I was involved with a number of activities that helped me in my desire to become an English teacher. Volunteering with the Girl Scouts of Rhode Island as a leader, editing my college newspaper and sitting on a number of committees are just a few of the opportunities I had at my college. Now, as a first year teacher, I am using my love of teaching and aiding others to not only help my students be the best students they can be, but I am also encouraging my students to get involved in their community and the world around them. While in college, I was a writing tutor for 2 years. I have also tutored this year as well. As a first year teacher, I am using my creative impulse to establish a relationship with my students. I am fostering a love of learning in my classrooms, as well as a desire to learn more about the world. I am someone
