Poetry Tutoring
Early attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song, and comedy. Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form and rhyme. Looking for help? Select a tutor today.

Katie F. - Veneta, OR 97487 (35.6 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $22.50/hr.
I love the romantic poets, Byron, Shelly, Keats, Shakespeare, Emily Bronte, John Donne. I have also wrote poetry myself. Poetry is one of my deepest passions and I would be thrilled to discuss it with you and have lots of fun! Passionate, sensitive, enriching, and fun. After all, we only retain what is worth it to us to remember! My name is Katie and I am excessively fond of literature, poetry and especially Shakespeare. When I was 13 years old I saw Romeo and Juliet and have been a literature addict ever since. This is why I am an English major who is now a couple of courses into her Master's literature program. My dream is to one day be a professor of Romanticism Literature. My favorites are Jane Austen, the Brontes' and Shakespeare as well as the romantic poets like (Byron, Keats and Shelly) but nearly having my English degree has introduced me to others as well. I would love to work

Michael S - Eugene, OR 97405 (45.8 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $49.50/hr.
I earned a B.S. in Secondary Education focusing on literacy and written expression, as well as Special Education methodology. This foundation allows me to successfully relate content to students with diverse learning needs, and assess student progress. I have assumed an instructional role in many settings. These include: a student teacher in a 7th grade classroom, a reading tutor at a summer enrichment program for marginalized youth, a camp counselor at an outdoor nature camp, a tutor in a school resource room, and a guest speaker for students visiting my college from Boston. With my past experience with students, and knowledge of language arts and instructional methods, I can surely meet the needs of virtually any student. Teaching is a passion; an ideology focused on each student’s potential. It can be a challenge, but the belief that every student can learn drives me to persistently p

Joshua P - Eugene, OR 97405 (46.5 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I believe in high academic expectations for my students and clear and transparent communication with them and their families. I believe in setting consistent and attainable goals for my students to initiate and maintain a record of success to build their self confidence and embolden their academic ambitions. Regardless of whether my students currently intend on going to college, I believe in a rigorous high school academic discipline that projects success in college and beyond. After graduating from Wheaton College with high honors, I served as a Fulbright Scholar to the Slovak Republic where I taught English conversation and researched the role of the Catholic Church in the post-communist era. Subsequently, I served as an AmeriCorps Member for 2 years providing academic tutoring and life-skills training. I moved to Boston in 2008 to teach/tutor at one of the top high schools in the coun

Kelly W - Eugene, OR 97403 (47.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Everyone has a distinct learning style and attitude. I relish the opportunity to present subject matter to students in the precise manner that invokes that "eureka" moment where they finally achieve understanding of something that has frustrated, intimidated, or eluded them. I use humor and positive reinforcement to inspire confidence in my students. I believe that all people can learn, regardless of age or experience. They just need the proper guide. I am driven to learn as well as to teach. I have a BS in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences and an MA in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, both of which have afforded me great experience not only in the sciences but also in writing skills. Over the last 11 years, I have taught and tutored students from elementary-aged to adult in English, writing, science, math, and test prep.
