Jackai M.
Private tutor in Montréal, Canada
Education
I am a communications professional with a record of producing positive results. I graduated from Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, USA with a Master's degree in Writing Studies (May 2007) and earned a Bachelor's degree in Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Mass Media with a minor concentration in Journalism from Temple University (also in Philadelphia) in August 2002. My strong points include writing articles (for the Web, magazines, newspapers and social media), editorials, speeches, feature articles, opinion articles, press releases, and fiction (novels and scripts). I have worked for many years as a Writing Tutor and Teaching Assistant at the university level, helping student athletes and students with insufficient levels of proficiency to significantly improve upon their writing and critical thinking skills. I am also an editor and proofreader, with a passion for editing and proofreading papers for busy professionals and graduate students (particularly students in medical school or business school and students whose first language is not English).
