Become a Journalist in a Day: Practical Journalism e-course

Welcome to the exciting world of journalism!

This is a totally new and different kind of journalism course. It will surely thrill, excite and challenge you-lead you to UNDERSTAND real journalism.

Have you ever wondered how good news stories are written? Where reporters get stories from? What makes a good journalist? How news stories are structured?

In college classrooms these are taught as theories-often leaving students bewildered, with very little understanding of what they are supposed to do.

This e-course is entirely different-it is all together UNIQUE! A trail blazer! The informative, eye-opening lessons make plain the real meaning behind today's journalism. Our lessons answer the "unanswerable" journalistic challenges many journalists face today.

With the assistance of your tutors, you'll study the clear, plain, simple truth of journalism-and why a few really understand it.

All you need to study with this e-course is ...your HARD working spirit.

You will find these lessons stirring, vitally interesting-not dry or dull. They simply sparkle with interest.

The Practical Journalism e-course is a guided course designed purely for educational purposes to help you quickly grasp the concepts of journalism, and help you write publishable news stories.

The end result and success of this 'marathon' e-course depends upon your diligence in reading and studying all the lessons posted on here and also sent via email, alongside other materials that you may get to supplement our material.

The course contains eight modules. The lessons will be posted here one at a time, along with other related information and an assignment to quiz you on the material in the lesson. A timeframe will always be provided for these assignments.

The e-course is designed to last one month, as we intend to train over 1, 000 journalists/writers every year. Therefore, we call for total seriousness, discipline and hard work on your part. We'll expect speedy writing of assignments by all course participants-this course is NOT for the 'faint-hearted'!

Primary Tutoring - Maths, Reading Creative Writing, Entrance Exam Preparation.
I am a fully qualified primary school teacher based in Falkirk with over 15 years of experience particularly in the upper primary level. If your child needs additional input in English or Maths to help them reinforce their classroom learning or if they are looking to extend themselves to work at Third Level in preparation for High School or Entrance Exams, then I am here to help. After our initial ‘get to know you’ session, I will build a program of learning that will support your child in all identified areas, helping them to feel more confident with concepts or skills they have found tricky to master as well as challenge them to reach their full potential moving towards higher level learning. My goal is to create supportive and engaging session where students feel motivated to explore, make mistakes in a safe environment and ultimately, experience success, helping to boost their confidence in any classroom or examination setting. Mathematics is often seen as a problem area for many students and their ‘tricky’ subject. With every student that identifies this as an area for development, my focus is on building a strong foundation in maths reinforcing key concepts, using key problem-solving strategies as well as developing critical thinking skills. Through the use of real-world, tangible examples, I will help students develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and how they can be applied in their own lives. This work will be followed up with targeted areas for further practice, consolidation and/or additional challenge. During my writing sessions, I will guide students in developing their practical writing skills, i.e. grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and organisation of points/plot. Whilst encouraging creativity throughout, I will ensure there are multiple opportunities for students to express themselves through various writing genres. We will also work on editing and reviewing with feedback sessions built in to help consolidate the techniques introduced. I strongly believe that reading is the key to unlocking a whole world of knowledge and imagination. In my reading sessions, I will focus on developing essential skills such as phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocab. Through a variety of activities, including reading aloud, guided reading, discussion and analysis, I will help students improve their reading abilities, expand their literary horizons, and hopefully, foster a lifelong love for books. I look forward to working with you.

Tajweed of the Qur’an for non-Arabic speakers, beginner and advanced levels
I have been studying Tajweed of the Great Qur’an for more than ten years, and thank God I have mastered its teaching to a very great extent, from the basic level to the highest levels. I pay attention to the smallest details with the student. I enjoy patience and calm with the student. The student does not leave the class unless he has mastered the smallest details. I care about teaching Tajweed theoretically from the Tajweed book. Then apply everything the student studied on the surahs of the Qur’an in a practical way by extracting all the rules he took from the verses. I conduct a continuous review of what was mentioned above and test every period on what was studied, paying attention to the texts that were studied.
