Private Introduction to Poetry Tutoring
Receive personally tailored Introduction to Poetry lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.
Taking an introductory poetry course is a great way to acquaint yourself with the particularities and nuances of the genre. A foray spanning from Petrarch's classical sonnets to Frost's understated, yet beautiful New England-based bucolic poetry, gives you the opportunity to explore the rich diversity of poetry. In addition, it also allows you to interpret the meanings of such specifically chosen and arranged words throughout hundreds of years, cultures, and personal perspectives.
Because poetry is so different from prose, you may find that your poetry class challenges you in new ways. Introductory poetry tutoring can help guide you through these challenges to aid in your academic success. Being able to grasp the meaning of a poem through interpretation and analysis is perhaps the most useful skill developed in any poetry class. While the meaning of some poems is simple, other poems, like T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, remain an enigma to both poetry students and poetry scholars alike.
