Subjects taught
  • Writing

    As a journalist one of the basic skills we are encouraged to hone is the ability to write a simple yet compelling piece. Having a personal indulgence for creative writing, this is something I value about the many skills I possess- the ability to write on any and every subject without intimidation.

  • Reading

    As a seasoned journalist reading is part of my everyday life, from researching to writing to reporting a story, projecting and mastering tone are all part of what I do. This skill is who I am, it’s a part of me and for that reason I’d be the ideal person to tutor this subject.
