課程介紹：教授會使用Close reading的方法教授課程，這種方法最大的減少了由於學生對於文獻背景的寫作不熟悉而產生的困難。同時教授希望學生通過這個課程學會創造性思考，因為中國的中學生普遍缺乏這一能力，而這種能力在美國大學中非常重要。Close reading是學習創造性思考的有效方式。並且教授將按照美國大學的寫作標準嚴格要求學生。

授課教授：教授是英語文學專業畢業。教授畢業於哈佛大學。自1998年起在美國大學教授寫作課程，至今由223年教學經驗。曾作為哈佛俱樂部（Harvard Club）的客座講師教授莎士比亞的仲夏夜之夢。
本課程從2014年開設至今，教授為零差評教授。
教授教學質量非常好，無論是文學分析還是後續的寫作批改都得到了家長和學生的好評。曾經有學生與教授將一篇寫作作業更改到7遍，學生認為得到了質的飛躍。
提升英語文學素養，寫作素養。
本課程2014年開設至今，一直是零差評課程。課程火爆都源自於教授自身的文學水平以及授課水平，得到了家長以及學生的好評。
A和B學生家長（北京師範大學附屬實驗中學 2015年畢業）
多虧了提前吃苦學會了寫文學分析Paper，現在上大學寫作也不費勁。
學生家長C（國際學校，2015年升讀美國高中）
教授講的實在太好了！孩子去了美高完全適應課程，並且得到了非常好的GPA。教授還貼心的給孩子寄送了一些小零食。
學生家長D（重慶南開中學，2015年畢業）
孩子與教授改文章到凌晨5點，忽然跑進來和我說媽媽我升華了。特別感謝教授，提升丹的文學素養。
學生家長E（國際學校，2020年畢業，美國前十學校）
兒子愛上了文學與哲學，教授功不可沒！以前他非常排斥文學與哲學。
學生家長F（十一學校，2021年畢業）
你們的文學教授很不錯，負責人，和奇相處也很融洽，她非常欣賞奇，是你們家一位非常好的老師。
學生家長E（國際學校，2020年畢業）
透露個消息，我家而自特別喜歡文學教授的課。
學生家長F（國際學校，2022年畢業）
跟著教授讀完哈姆雷特，小孩興奮的不行。文字裡蘊含那麼多的情緒和故事，是自己泛讀故事從類沒有的體驗。
學生家長G（北京師範大學附屬實驗中學 2021年畢業）
文學教授7星好評，昨天第二次講寫作，第一次批的體無完膚。
學生H（人大附中 2021年畢業）
我覺得自己提升挺大的，對於文學的理解更加透徹了。
學生I（人大附中 2020年畢業）
教授真是特別好，娃超喜歡。
學生J（十一學校 2021年畢業）
教授講的真的特別特別好。
學生K（北京師範大學附屬實驗中學 2019年畢業）
教授拯救了我文學，讓我愛上了英語文書。教授的文書也改的特別棒。
學生L（北京師範大學附屬實驗中學 2020年畢業）
跟她上課特別舒服，還總能學到很多。
學生M（人大附中 2020年畢業）
我真的太喜歡文學教授了 哈哈哈哈 第一次課的時候就被她對於文學分析的獨特見解吸引了，她也永遠都非常歡迎我表達自己的想法，跟她交流感覺特別有趣，我特別享受那種發掘文學和故事背後的韻味的感覺，尤其是由一個這麼棒這麼有想法有見解的老師來引導，每當有一個新想法，我就會特別開心，他也會讓我寫一些文學分析，然後幫我特別認真的修改，在她的幫助下，我的閱讀和寫作能力也的確提高了很多。
學生N（北京師範大學附屬實驗中學 2021年畢業）
首先是大家非常很在意的閱讀能力。通過具體分析的方法，會加深你對文本不同層次的解讀，和你觀看問題的視野。這對於SAT、AP都會有幫助，因為莎士比亞比那些文章還是要深刻難很多的。
其次是思想深度。理解文學的背後，需要你進行聯繫，聯繫社會，聯繫不同的文學作品，然後產生想法，這個可以在閱讀中提出問題，以及讀完一本書之後的寫作中展現。
最後這個文學課讓我感受到什麼是真的文學，雖然到現在我也可能並不完全了解文學，但是文學課改變了我對於文學的偏見和恐懼。文字的晦澀難懂是因為你在生讀在翻譯，但是真正挖掘細節你會發現有很多有意思有深度的話題可以討論。比如在仲夏夜之夢中，不同人對於愛與夢的看法，反映了什麼樣的人生價值觀，有反應了莎士比亞怎麼樣的人生價值觀。你認同麼？為什麼？都是可以去思考的。而這些深入思考，正是大學希望你擁有的。
所以，綜上所述。文學課中提供的精讀可以讓你變得更強，更有深入思考的能力，並且用美國人的方式學習美國文學。

Q：可以一對二上課嗎？
A：不可以，曾經有一對雙胞胎想一對二上課，教授不同意。後來雙胞胎經過測試發現，課程是一對一對於文學作品的討論以及寫作的修改，所以一對二上課等於每個人半個小時。後兩人分別和教授上課。
Q：可以1次上課2個小時嗎？
A：不可以，因為每次1個小時的課程效果是最佳的，超過1個小時的精讀課程是沒有良好效果的。
Q：可以1周1次課程嗎？
A：教授在2021年春季不接受1周1次課程。
Q：如果閱讀材料沒有完成可以上課嗎？
A：教授在上課期間發現你沒有認真的閱讀材料，會終止本次課程，並且要求學生重新閱讀，下次繼續上課，本次課程不計入課時。
Q：如果學生沒有完成寫作作業可以上課嗎？
A：教授發現學生沒有完成寫作作業，會終止課程，要求學生完成作業後上課，本次課程不計入課時。
Q：如何評定課程等級？
A：教授會在上課之前，讓學生以郵件形式發送個人簡介，根據簡介評定課程等級。在課程進行中，如果學生進步迅速，也會被升級。但目前只有一位學生是從第3級課程開始上。
Q：上完第3級課程如果要繼續，如何上課？
A：目前此課程大部分的學生都與教授上課超過96小時，也有學生與教授上課長達兩年。教授後續會根據學生的情況來進行相應的課程授課。
Q：教授的授課內容學生閱讀過，能否更換？
A：閱讀過與進行文學分析是兩回事，讀過並不代表懂的以及理解。經過無數次的實際測試，學生們跟著教授閱讀過書籍後，發現此前等於白白閱讀書籍。
Q：此課程是否會提升SAT閱讀成績？
A：本課程的初衷是為了讓學生真正的提高閱讀能力和文學分析寫作能力，在進入大學後可以很好的適應大學課程。後發現1年以上的文學課程學生均有不錯的SAT閱讀分數，因學生閱讀能力提升所致，但此課程並不能代替SAT閱讀應試課程。
