Online Serbian literature tutors for secondary school in Serbia

Literature at this level is not learned by listening. It is learned by saying your reading of a text out loud and letting someone knock it down, which makes the identity of that someone the important part. At school it is the teacher who will also be marking the work, so a pupil rarely risks saying anything that does not match what was said in class. That is understandable, and it quietly trains them to reproduce an interpretation that is not theirs, while the written paper asks for one that is. This is where an outsider earns the fee. In a smaller town the tutor you can walk to often teaches at the same school or alongside the same people, and turns up with the reading the class has already heard. Over video you can pick someone with no connection to that school at all, to whom your child can say something foolish without it costing them anything, and who can say the argument does not hold without wrapping it up first. If you are outside Serbia and your child is following the Serbian programme at a distance, this counts double. The tutor is probably the only person who will ever discuss these texts with them. An honest limit: if the book has not been read, none of this helps. There is no arguing with someone who has nothing to argue from, and the lesson turns into a plot summary. A test for the free first lesson: hand them a text the class has already covered and ask them to disagree with the school's reading of it. Someone who can and will is doing precisely this job. Someone who avoids it will most likely repeat the lesson your child already sits through.
