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. Poetry often uses particular forms and conventions to suggest alternative meanings in the words, or to evoke emotional or sensual responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Select a tutor now.

Emily K. - Pocasset, MA 02559 (32.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $25.00/hr.
I'm patient, soft-spoken and fair, but enjoy pushing my students to challenge themselves. I recently obtained my Masters in Secondary English Education. I currently substitute teach at the high school level, and have taught literacy to adults with developmental disabilities. I've written for newspapers and magazines, and enjoy writing fiction and reading in my spare time. I am looking to tutor this summer two to three days per week.

marlan S. - Vineyard Haven, MA 02568 (42.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $27.50/hr.
Deep knowledge of poetic composition and comprehension. Undergraduate Thesis focused on 21st century Postmodern Women's Poetry. I recently completed a degree in Creative Writing with a focus on poetry, fiction, literature, and literary and cultural theory. Completion of a thesis focusing on the deep investigation of language and narrative as they function in Postmodern Women's Poetics, with a corresponding lecture presented at Goddard College on the manifestation of the gender binary through the entrance into language and the symbolic order, and how the semioclasm of postmodern text and the interrogation of classical feminism might open up space for a new non hierarchical access to language. I also just finished 2+ years of interning at the St. Marks Poetry Project in New York City, as well as occasional involvement at Poets House, Bluestockings Bookstore Collective & Activist Center, AB

Allison L. - Beverly, MA 01915 (55.2 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $32.50/hr.
Have taken two Creative Writing poetry courses. Knowledgeable of classic/contemporary poets. Passionate about writing/reading poetry. My teaching attitude is patient, articulate, and meticulous. I have clients come to me with a writing purpose - an essay, a specific assignment, or the desire to write creatively purely for fun. I make sure I help an individual say exactly what they want on paper in a non-generic way. I encourage clients to be creative and to challenge the formulaic patterns of writing, while still respecting writing assignment expectations and goals.
I help in the following areas:
- Grammar & Editing
- Organization, Outline & Structural Development
- Exploratory creative writing exercises
- Teaching literary elements and techniques using the Bedford Literary Glossary
- Essay Writing (Persuasive, Critical Analysis, Evaluative, Personal, Feature, Editorial etc) I rec

Savannah B - Wellfleet, MA 02667 (0.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I have tutored students privately in subjects ranging from languages to math since 2001. One student has continued French lessons four hours a week every summer for five years. I completed a one-year French as a foreign language course in Martinique. I have taught several French for Beginners adult classes. I substitute teach at the local schools, and cover all ages and subjects (some of which I am more qualified for than others, and in the event I am less qualified, I let the students teach me what they know). I have wanted to teach since I was in second grade, and am currently working toward my license in Massachusetts. I believe that knowledge is an intimate thing, and that learning should be fun, and confidence-building. I use eliciting techniques, bringing student knowledge to the table first, and then build upon it. Knowing a student is important for preparing relevant materials fo

Joseph D - Pocasset, MA 02559 (31.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I'm patient and listen to the student to see what they get and don't get about the premise of the lesson. Then we get to it. Careful reinforcement of the Correct method will ensure Remembrance and Results. Also, Lessons must be approached within the context of the Big Picture. Students need to realize that there are no pointless or forgettable sections. Basically, communication is key followed by practice, reinforcement, more practice. Learning can be at pace, but laziness and whining will not be tolerated. I have a Bachelor of Art in History, predominantly American. I also pursued Engineering for my first year and plan to go back to College. I have completed through Calculus II and am also experienced in hands-on mechanical. I have limited tutoring experience, but I know I can listen and respond. Any experience came from helping others in classes during College.
