Private Tutoring for English and Essay Writing

Literary Focus: "Much Madness Is Divinest Sense—"

Class
Derek Bunting, B.A. Dartmouth, M.A. Stanford
Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(28)
This one-day workshop examining Emily Dickinson’s poem focuses on the fundamentals of poetry analysis to help students better understand and appreciate the depth and complexity of this unique literary form.

Class experience

Students will learn how to properly analyze a poem through the "four pillars" of literary analysis:  diction, imagery, language, and syntax.  They will also learn how poets use various poetic devices -- such as alliteration/assonance, rhyme/rhythm/meter, and parallel structure -- to establish tone and convey theme.  If time, students will also learn how to structure an AP Poetry Analysis essay by using the rhetorical framework of Hegel’s dialectic.
I have a B.A. in English from Dartmouth College and an M.A. in Education from Stanford University.  For the past thirty years, I have taught English in a wide variety of educational settings -- from a private school on Maui, Hawaii, to a Catholic school in Portland, Oregon, to an inner-city charter school in Springfield, Massachusetts.  Most recently, I taught freshman and senior English at the Winter Sports School in Park City, Utah, where I also served as the school's Director of Curriculum and Instruction.  In 2021 I started an online academic enrichment / professional development nonprofit organization -- Literary Focus, Inc. -- and offer classes on Outschool in the winter and summer months to continue teaching on a part-time basis.
 1 file available upon enrollment
When students enroll, they will be provided a copy of the poem in the form of an AP Poetry Analysis prompt and an attached study guide, which they are encouraged -- but not required -- to complete before attending class.
