About Portland, OR
Nestled in between the Willamette and Columbia rivers, the beautiful city of Portland is the most populated city in the state of Oregon and the third most populous in the Pacific Northwest section of the country, just behind Seattle and Vancouver. Portland is known to be a progressive city, and has put into place innovative land-use initiatives as well as a heavy investment in its public transit system. The city enjoys a placid, northwestern climate and weather pattern, with warm, balmy summers and misty, rainy weather in the winters, not unlike Seattle.
Portland also shares a similar cultural spirit. Known for its hip, thriving nightlife, coffee shops, bars, nightclubs, and fine restaurants, the city offers young professionals one of the most cosmopolitan urban cultures on the west coast. This emphasis on culture has led to quite a thriving arts movement in the city, and Portland is now known for its diverse collection of artists and art organizations. The city was rated one of the 10 best arts cities in the U.S. in 2006. Portland is also home to well-respected Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Ballet Theatre, the Oregon Symphony, and the Portland Opera.
Portland, like other U.S. cities, is based around a collection of different regions and neighborhoods. The West Side of the city is the oldest and most densely populated, but Downtown is located in the southwest section of the city. Some of the various neighborhoods of the city include: Forest Park, Goose Hollow, Hillside, Linnton, Kenton, Overlook, Piedmont, and Alameda.

About High School Literature
The subject of literature is one of the oldest and most revered fields of study in schools throughout America and Europe. The study of literature is usually contained within the subject of English, and involves a wide array of courses that delve into the many areas that literature has to offer. The study of literature is sometimes divided into genre studies, and concentrates on the various literary genres, such as novels, short stories, poetry, and drama. Other literature courses focus on particular cultures, such as English literature, Irish literature, and American literature. The study of literature can also be studied according to historical periods, such as 18th century English poetry, medieval literature, and classical literature. The study of literature makes use of various reading methods, known as literary theory. Generally, at the high school level, students are introduced to a little bit of all of these subjects in the field of Literature.
Literary theory draws upon many other fields of study, such as philosophy, religious studies, history, linguistics, sociology, psychology, political science, and the arts in order to better understand written works. Some of the various literary theories include structuralism, formalism, Marxism, feminism, post structuralism, new criticism, and reader-response criticism, all of which are introduced in the latter years of high school in preparation for college level study. While these topics are taught in high schools throughout America and Europe, many Literature students find it beneficial to work one-on-one with a literature tutor in order to better grasp these complex concepts.
Whether you are a young child, a teenager, a university student, or a professional adult and are seeking help in literature, our tutors can assist you. Our professional tutors have advanced degrees or extensive training in literature and can tutor and help in subject areas such as structuralism, formalism, Marxism, feminism, post structuralism, new criticism, reader-response criticism, linguistics, literary theory, Shakespearian literature, English literature, American literature, Irish literature, poetry, drama, fiction, medieval literature, and modern literature.
