Meet our instructor – Jennifer Joseph

Jennifer holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Ryerson University. She was the multimedia editor for RYERSON REVIEW OF JOURNALISM. She is also a freelance writer with expertise in entertainment events, fashion and beauty for teens.

 From Jennifer:

I see journalism as a concept of learning about the world, people and your surroundings. This is what makes it so interesting! There is always constant change. I cherish and value the aspect of education and want my students to explore their possibilities and not remain limited. Not only do I want my students to succeed but to leave every class with the will to conquer the world.

Training Class FAQs

Q. How is level 3 different from level 1 and 2. 
A. Level 3 focus on some very advance journalism concept. Children will learn much more about he world around them by exploring our financial and political system. Kids will also learn the importance of world issues. The Level 3 also focus on the on camera reaction and directing, further training the kids' leadership skills. 

Q. If we miss a class, will we get the refund for that class? 
A. No. We try to accommodate everyone's time and schedule. However, we will not be responsible for missing classes due to personal reasons, the 10 weekly classes are set as a semester. We would not be able to offer make-up class. We have teachers travelling and teaching even one student does not show, we bare the costs and thus, we can not issue refund for missing classes. 

Q. What's your refund policy?
A. Full refund minus $30 administration before 2 weeks of class start time. 50% refund after two weeks before class starts. No refund after class starts.  

Q. What do we need to bring and prepare for the class? 
A: Students will need to bring notebooks for writing and pencil cases on their own. In some of the classes, they will need to bring a small digital camera for photograph. We will inform you when that happens. 

Q. Will there be homework for each class?
A: Yes, we will give out homework at the end of each class. Students needs to bring their homework to class to be marked.
