English Literature is a commonly taught subject in school, but for good reason. The concepts taught in these classes help us learn crucial lessons about our society and ourselves. This is because the themes and traits of character in these books reflect humanity to be more relatable to readers. The skills that are often taught in Literature classes are academic writing, analyzing books & their meanings, and writing essays.
As a college student who is currently majoring in English & Comparative Literature, I understand and utilize these skills in my college endeavors. Whether I am writing academically in my Rhetoric Written Argument 200 class, analyzing but also making meaning out of a 55 chapter book (Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) in my Introduction to English and Comparative Literature class, or writing creatively to tell stories in my Introduction to Creative Writing class, I am still using those skills I learned in high school and middle school to create ideas and improve myself.
In my class, I will be tutoring your student based on their academic needs. On the first day of class, I will provide an activity to assess what your student thrives at and what they need to improve on. From then on, I will create activities based off of the skill/skills your student should be working on, whether that be analyzing, annotating, writing essays/academic writing, etc. I will also connect ideas together to help your student understand the bigger picture of Literature. For example, I could teach your student how annotating your book leads to understanding the content better, which then leads to being able to complete assignments at a better quality, and that would then lead to understanding the material more comprehensively, and that leads to scoring well on tests and/or essays.
My classroom will help students feel comfortable to ask questions and to grow because I understand how important it is to ask questions in a judgement free environment. As a student who recently undertook the middle and high school experiences, as compared to many teachers, I value your student's experience and I want to help your student enjoy it. Pressures from school can lead to immense stress, which is why I want to create a fun and effective learning environment for your student based off of their needs.
