Yeru has helped my daughter better understand symbolism and allegory as well as appreciate poetry more. Prior to class, Yeru sends me a syllabus with age appropriate poems that will be discussed in the upcoming session. Yeru is friendly, punctual, patient, and knowledgable. My husband and I enjoy having her tutor our daughter--and our daughter enjoys having Yeru as her Poetry tutor!
