My approach to journalism tutoring is deeply rooted in the philosophy of creative and practical learning, blending hands-on experiences with theoretical insights to prepare students for the dynamic world of journalism. My teaching methodology is highly personalized, designed to adapt to the unique needs, goals, and learning styles of each student. I believe in a 'learning by doing' approach, where students actively engage in desk research, crafting pitches, reporting, fieldwork, writing, editing, and packaging stories. This immersive experience is complemented by real-world examples that not only teach the fundamentals of journalism but also instill a sense of integrity and ethical reporting.

A typical lesson with me lasts about 90 minutes. This duration allows us to dive deep into the subject matter, ensuring that students have ample time to understand the concepts, ask questions, and practice their skills. Each session is structured yet flexible, allowing us to cover a wide range of topics from the basics of journalism to more advanced techniques such as investigative reporting and digital storytelling.

With over a decade of experience in journalism and education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and insight to my tutoring. My background includes a mix of practical journalism experience and academic qualifications, providing a well-rounded perspective on the industry. I have worked as a reporter, editor, and correspondent for various news outlets and have also taught journalism at the college level. My experience enables me to offer students a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of journalism.

I am open to mentoring anyone from a high school student aspiring to be a journalist, to a college student, to an early career journalist. My lessons are designed for learners of all levels and ages, from those just starting their journey in journalism to professionals looking to refine their skills. Whether you are aiming to complete a college assignment, pitch a story idea, or polish a report, my tailored classes are designed to help you achieve your specific goals. I am committed to supporting each student's journey in journalism, offering guidance, feedback, and the tools needed to excel in this fast-paced field.
