I am in a 500-level course at college that is killing me. This is the senior level course. It is an advanced literature class. I am reading such things as these:


El vergonzoso en palacio
La dama duende
El burlador de sevilla


After reading each novel, we have an in-class 1-page essay to explain an aspect of the work. Also, there are three 5-page papers we write at home. Those 5-page papers are turned in at the due dates to be randomly looked over. Then they are returned to us with professor comments. At the end of the semester, we turn in all three works together after making corrections as one combined work. Therefore, all three assignments have to have the same thesis and work on the same ideals. This is crazy hard!

What I am looking for is some help for this, and since it would require some time and effort on the part of the tutor, I am willing to pay. I can pay through Paypal if that is acceptable.

What I need is somebody to look at my work that I write in Spanish, then make grammar corrections for me, explaining why I made a mistake so I can learn from it. I also need the tutor to understand the work I am writing about, so the novels that I am working from will have to be read by the tutor. I have found most of them on the internet for free, so no purchase would have to be made on your part. I will need to talk about ideas for a thesis and will ask for help in understanding parts of the works since these plays are written in the Golden Age of Spain, so there is some Portuguese influence and a lot of old-style Castillian. Some of the words are not even spelled the same way that they are spelled in today's language. Some of the words no longer exist! That makes it hard on somebody like me who learned his Spanish in Mexico's streets.

A final requirement will be that this tutor be prompt on helping me meet my deadlines. I have class on Thursdays. All work would have to be done by the night before.

If anyone is interested, please contact me so we can talk about it.

Thanks.

My professor is only available during class hours on Thursday nights because she spends the rest of the semester doing research for her published work that all professors have to perform in order to bring the school money and keep her job. She has more homework than I do! She will not be of any help to me. I have tried other professors, but some fear getting involved in a class that is not their own and some outright said no, since they have their own students to look after.
