Information About Will C

Guelph tutor
 

Personal Description:

I am not a typical tutor. I have a degree in English Literature, and would have a degree in Philosophy if it weren't for the pesky Philosophy 101 (I could never grok the Pre-Socratics.).
I'm passionate about what literature can bring to the mind. If you find reading boring, I will help you to make it exciting. But I will pull it out of you. I will not explain why a text is interesting; I will ask you questions about yourself, and maybe why you find this text dull, and trick you into telling me why the text actually applies to your life, and why you might actually secretly be interested in it.

Tutoring Experience:

We're starting from scratch here! Come along for the ride!
I have edited and coached many a colleague along my journey, as well as introduced literature to children of families that tend not to read. What you will get from me is a fresh, excited, and all around enthusiastic partner to accompany you through whatever 'dreary' book you have been assigned. I'll make it come alive.

Tutoring Approach:

You will get more from me if you are willing to share. Literature is not proscriptive; that is to say, books are not written to 'tell you how to think'. You might be reading Oliver Twist, and complaining, (possibly rightly), 'But I'm not an orphan!', or you might be reading 'Fifth Business' and complaining (possibly rightly), 'But I'm not an aging school-master about to enter into retirement and angry about how people are pooh-poohing my career'.
You are correct. You are not those people. But I guarantee that there is SOMETHING that you share with these people, these characters. It will be easier for me to find a way into your head, and show you what you share with the text, if you are willing to share your experiences with me.
We're in this together.
