My comments on tutoring Shakespeare : I have taught many Shakespearean plays and had my students memorize many famous and beloved lines of his blank verse and couplets. Knowing how to interpret his lines is an art, and one in which I am very accomplished
I am a teacher that makes sure her students understand the basics, then we build on that. No one is a great writer unless he/she doesn't have an appropriate grasp of the fundamentals.

I evaluate exactly their proficiency in the subject, and tailor lessons to where they are in their understanding. Also, even though my students may be older, they still want our sessions to be fun!
