Poetry Tutoring

Early attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song, and comedy.

Eric S. - Fort Worth, TX 76133 (40.3 mi) - $22.5/hr.

This is one of my top subjects! Poetry is one of my top subjects!Poetry is probably my best field outside creative writing. Although my Milton is a bit sketchy, I can teach the student a great deal about what they need to know about either a poet, or "explicating" poetry meaning to take apart and understand poetry or even to appreciate a poem. I am knowledge about most major poets writing in English from Shakespeare to the 20th century, not simply from my English degree, but because I am always a student of poetry myself, reading and rereading what people call "the classics" or masterfully written poetry in contemporary anthologies. If the student has trouble understanding what a poet is saying, or has trouble finding the meaning of a poem, I know some good techniques of how to read a complicated image or metaphor. I can explain about imagery, similes, allusions, metaphor and other areas of a poem, as well as the poem's broader meaning. I am also good at letting students acquire their own insights, not simply my insights, because original interpretation is what some teachers might want.

My name is Eric Fisher Stone and I graduated with B.A. from Texas Christian University in the summer of 2008. I attended graduate school directly after, and acquired 20 graduate hours and the University of Idaho’s MFA in Creative Writing Program where I taught freshmen composition. I currently live in Fort Worth, Texas in the zip code of 76133. My main areas of expertise are creative writing, and poetry. I can also teach fiction writing because I have some experience in that as well, having a fiction publication in Descant, Fort Worth’s Journal of Fiction and Poetry. I maintained, in my English major, a GPA of 3.7. My knowledge of literature overall is pretty solid and it is strongest in British Romanticism and American Transcendentalism (meaning American poets like Whitman and thinkers such as Emerson and Thoreau.) With Shakespeare, the plays I am most knowledgeable in are, “A Midsummer ... read more

30+ years high school/college teaching experience. I have used a variety of textbooks, technology, and media and am willing to and could easily adapt to others' teaching styles or requests. I have the belief that hands on usage, be it writing or speaking or peer teaching, supersedes passive practice eg. reading, listening, copying, rote memorization of passages or terminology, etc. Activity and involvement lend credence and joy to language learning.

Unorthodox is the best way to describe my teaching style. Unorthodox in that I will change my approach or activities based on student comprehension. Unorthodox in that I truly believe that for every student who is confused or doesn’t understand a concept, there is a teacher who didn’t do their job. My greatest strength lies in creating lessons and activities where students will want to engage. Engagement leads to a permanent investment. When a student is engaged by a lesson, they will remember that lesson. To introduce Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado,” my students played "Who's crazier: Edgar Allan Poe or Mrs. W’s Mom or Dad???” After reading a series of statements such as: “Removed tires from daughter’s car for talking back” “Married his first cousin,” students would guess if it was Poe or my mom/dad. The level of participation in class that day and the days that followed wa
