5 Poetry lessons

My daughter is very literal so I thought poetry classes would help her think figuratively. 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!

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.
