While studying law Taft held a tutorship at Yale. At both places of study he was under the tutorship of Alan Langdon. He was thus obliged to accept a tutorship near Magdeburg. He graduated from Yale University in 1831, and subsequently held a tutorship there in 1834-1835. Patronage by some white families allowed for private tutorship in special cases. He was still very young when he was placed under the tutorship of Hamdan Lounissi. Edward was kept under the strict tutorship of Hansell until almost thirteen years old. The tutorship of the Academy would take care of the rest. Shortly afterwards, he accepted a tutorship at Trinity Hall. After Young's tutorship, Milton attended St Paul's School in London. In 1838 he accepted a tutorship at Athens, where he remained until 1840.
