Vikki L.

1 Poetry lesson

I truly had a good session with Tara. She not only found various ways for me to study, but also ways for me to recognize different aspects of poetry. While I have not taken a poetry class, it was imperative that I had a person that would be able to assist me that had a solid understanding and foundation of poetry, and Tara fits the bill. She was patient and attentive to my concerns. I would not only recommend Tara, but I will have future sessions with her if I need further assistance.

1 Poetry lesson

Juli and I looked at a few Wordsworth poems that I wanted to understand better. Juli came with a good wealth of knowledge about the historical context of Wordsworth and his poetry while helping instill in me a more well-rounded way of looking at his work and poetry in general. I will definitely be hitting her up again when I need a new, refreshing look at the obtuse aspects of poetry.
Scott B.

9 Poetry lessons

In particular David focused heavily on the very difficult area of reading , understanding and then writing poetry essays and taking poetry multiple choice questions. We would recommend David for anyone needing a tutor for an AP Literature course and/or for AP test prep (although I would recommend you leave yourself a lot more time than my daughter did to prepare for this very difficult exam).
