Sean: Albany County Latin tutor
Certified Latin Tutor in Albany County, NY
...Classical Studies. That means a dead language--Latin--and a lot of history, philosophy, mythology, and the like. I love it; I love the way it makes me think and interact with language. The idea is to write in our own living language, and I'm currently finishing up that self-indulgent, semi-autobiographical first novel. I think it's great---we'll see if anyone else agrees. I attended the Brunswick School in Greenwich, CT from 2002-2006. I worked hard, and I...

Christopher: Albany County Latin tutor
Certified Latin Tutor in Albany County, NY
...for language-learning and a method used for history. Both are relatively straightforward. For language study I follow the usual method of most classicists, focus on syntax and clause structure--in particular I find that understanding the clause structure of any language, ancient or modern, analytic or synthetic, is crucial in intuitively understanding the meaning of a sentence. In history I try to help students understand the "historical method" as easily as possible through exposure to historical...

I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano, running, riding my bike, and learning...

Because I am proficient in both the sciences and the humanities, and because classics is such a broad field, I am able to teach a wide variety of topics. Classics, which could be broadly defined as the study of ancient world, demands proficiency not only in Greek and Latin but also history, literary criticism, and of course persuasive writing. I can consequently teach subjects ranging...
