Our tutors will guide you through challenging passages using close-reading techniques, and help you build the tools to parse complex texts on your own. Signet Literature and English tutors can help you understand basic narratives, stylistic conventions, figurative language, literary techniques so that you gain command over any text you wish to analyze.
The result: you’ll actually engage with what you’re reading, retain details and themes longer, and, we hope, enjoy yourself along the way.
Our tutors are also very familiar with the reading comprehension components of many standardized tests, as well as literatures from a range of time periods and cultures. At any level of Literature study, a Signet tutor can help you develop a masterful and real appreciation for the body of work you are studying.
