...lessons always begin with the student playing the music and his or her teacher listening carefully. The teacher doesn't look for mistakes, because no one needs the advice, "Don't make that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never...

Comparative Literature Tutoring FAQ
Comparative Literature engulfs a wide variety of definitions, but it is generally considered to be the study of how literature from two distinctively different cultures relate to each other, paying particular attention to languages and cultures. If you are interested in receiving high school comparative literature tutoring, you will find what you need with Varsity Tutors. Varsity Tutors can locate an experienced comparative literature tutor experienced in helping students better understand the subject.
Comparative Literature is as complex and multi-faceted as the people studying it - that is to say, it is not easily pigeonholed or narrowed down. Students are required to familiarize themselves with many different cultures first, taking in their many textures, history and contributing circumstances. Students then begin to ask how those cultures differ, and how they might begin to compare and contrast the content based on language, the historical era covered, and the geographical setting.
Students consider what qualifies a work as literature and determine how and why works are classified by genre, established within society and then, how each work relates to and influences the other. It takes into account history, science, politics, art, science and philosophy and finds correlations and other clues to how one work has contributed to another.
Comparative literature seeks to cross national gulfs and boundaries by developing a deeper understanding between learners from all different walks of life, across the globe. It is the ultimate interdisciplinary field of study. If you need aid in studying this diverse and multi-layered topic, Varsity Tutors can assist you in the journey!

Recent Comparative Literature Tutoring Session Notes
We reviewed verbs today, having finished all of the lessons on verb tenses and conjugation. I brought large poster boards with me so that we could make two large charts for reference. One showed the three main verb tenses, their definitions, and how they are made; the other showed the different subjects that are used for conjugating verbs. We finished with an introduction to subject and predicate. I assigned one page in their grammar workbook on this topic for homework.
We worked on revisions to the student's first draft of a persuasive essay. Points of focus included citation conventions and sentence-level editing. She developed and practiced strategies for MLA formatting of citations, identifying and repairing run-on sentences and establishing pronoun agreement.
Today was our first session together. The student, her mother, and I discussed their expectations and what they are wanting to cover during our classes. The student and I reviewed what makes up a five paragraph essay, an overview on important points including such things as the thesis. We began to re-read the first 15 pages of "Fahrenheit 451", as she has a big essay due on the book.
Today the student and I worked on more grammar practice. In our previous session, I gave him a homework assignment that required him to write sentences for each definition from his vocabulary. We went over the sentences. He does get confused sometimes when translating the sentences from Mandarin to English. Literal translations don't make as much sense between Mandarin and English. However, he did well aside from that little issue. We also did some more grammar practice focusing on past and present tense, as well as present continuous and past negative tenses. Our next session will consist of a quiz and some more of the worksheet practice.
I helped the student review her final paper and start brainstorming points for her take-home final. She made all the changes the teacher requested to the final paper, plus addressed some other concerns.
During today's session, I primarily helped the student prepare for her English midterm. We reviewed grammar concepts including adjective phrases and noun phrases, and also discussed some of the works she would be tested on, including the Iliad, Gilgamesh, and the Odyssey. Moreover, we discussed review strategies and resources. In addition to doing English, we also reviewed a few biology concepts.
