Award-Winning AP Latin Tutors

...of Toronto at the Centre for Medieval Studies and a Teaching Assistant in the English Department. As a Teaching Assistant, I conduct discussion based tutorials, lecture on thesis development and argumentation, mentor students on paper writing and study skills during office hours, and constructively comment on close reading exercises and essays. I am advanced in both Classical and Medieval languages, and have extensive experience tutoring Latin at the grade and high school levelsI received my...

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a degree in English as well.In spite of my English background, I do a lot of math and physics tutoring. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is...

...School of Foreign Service. I am majoring in security studies thinking about working in counterterrorism. As far as tutoring style, I think it is really important not to give the student the answers but to ask them questions and help them come up with strategies to get to the answer for themselves; the goal is to make myself unnecessary in a way. My strengths (in school and tutoring) are in foreign languages including Latin and...

I believe that my past experience working as a tutor, high level of academic achievement, and passion for learning make me a great tutor. I tutor a variety of subjects, including SAT Prep, but my true passion is Classics. As a child, my favorite book was D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths. I have been fascinated by the language, literature, and culture of the ancient Mediterranean ever since. This passion is reflected in my coursework...... When covering...

...I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering and will be earning a bachelors as well as a masters degree in 5 years total. My focus on mechanical engineering and systems is due to my love of putting things together and drawing conclusions from physical representations. This was instilled at a young age as I had a deep love of Legos. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra. Algebra features so many of the basic mathematical tools...

...the Holy Cross in Worcester MA. There I received my Bachelor's of Arts in Classics (that is, Latin and ancient Greek literature) with a concentration in Peace & Conflict Studies; right now I'm taking classes to ready myself for grad school for Psychology. During undergrad, I tutored Latin for the Classics Honors Society and volunteered as an ESL teacher. After graduating, I moved to Spain and built on my volunteer experience by obtaining a TEFL...

...in Classical Language and Literature and from Oxford University (MSt) in Classics. My academic background includes a large amount of reading, analysis, and writing, which are suited to the SAT preparation. I especially love teaching Latin; over the past four years I have helped students master grammar and translation, while transferring my enthusiasm for the language and literature itself. I work very hard to make sure that my students make progress! In order to make...

...Texas at Austin, where I acquired bachelor’s degrees in both chemistry and classics. 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...

...late elementary school principal. Dr. Julian King was the kind of educator who cared about each individual student, who saw not a students grades or behavior, but abilities and needs. Dr. King was the first teacher in my career as a student who saw as me not a behavior problem, but a bored kid with a high IQ and a chaotic home life. Dr. King had my IQ tested, then set about making sure the...

...Colgate University (2011-2015) and I continued my study of the classics at the graduate level at Columbia University (2015-2016). While I am confident in both my quantitative and verbal skills, I consider my primary strength to lie in standardized test-taking, the process of which I profoundly enjoy, strange as it is to say. To my mind, taking a test imparts the same kind of pleasure as listening to your favorite kind of music. You have...

...I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Classical Studies at William and Mary; Latin and French are my specialty! I also enjoy teaching English grammar and syntax. My goal is to secure students with the skills they need in order to succeed in the classroom and beyond. I work closely with students, giving them honest feedback on what they need to improve on, and I adapt my teaching style to suit the students' needs.

...St. Philips College, and former lecturer in the Department of Philosophy and Classics at UTSA, where I have had the privilege of working with students from a wide variety backgrounds, many from right here in San Antonio. I believe in helping students develop the best possible version of themselves by building studying and learning strategies based on their own skills rather than trying to fit themselves into a cookie cutter approach. I am really excited...

...and tutoring experience. I'm enthusiastic about helping students meet their own goals and develop useful skills. I began tutoring as an undergraduate, for history, French, German, and Latin. I also have extensive experience editing English essays (my own, those of my peers, and those of my students.) I spend a lot of time thinking about these subjects, and about how to help others understand them better. When I'm not doing academic work, I enjoy experimenting...

...students understand the principles behind the material and work from there. Any subject, from Latin to history to math, can be a grueling exercise in rote memorization, but that's not fun for anybody, so that's not how I teach. I try to de-mystify the subject from the outset, starting with acknowledging and building on what students already know - usually more than they think. I've studied a lot of languages (Spanish, Latin, French, Turkish, Attic...

I'm a lifetime language learner, novelist, dad, and student of the world; I love to help people make connections to English from Latin. I have taught high school Latin and tutored for the SAT for several years. I am TEFL certified, and I have experience teaching students of many different nationalities. I can help you see around corners to tackle difficult concepts or help you prepare for the next big test in a wide variety...

...in the Midwest and Northeast for nearly a decade and a half. Whether as a Latin teacher, Humanities professor, or Historian, I strive to connect my students to the past. I never thought history was relevant until one day in college, I stepped onto the Basilica Aemilia in Rome and was - like in some movie - stunned to physically feel that I was putting MY foot somewhere Julius Caesar had once put HIS foot....

...a writer, I am inherently an avid reader, and came to studying Classics because of my desire to get as close to the roots of the words I use as possible. I strongly believe in the continued study of Greek and Latin, not as esoteric and archaic subjects, but as tools that fundamentally inform our relationship to language, history, and thought. Learning the languages allowed me to read texts in their intended form, which is...

...and charter school teacher, my vision is to challenge students of all backgrounds to promote achievement. As a Latin teacher and scholar, I have experienced firsthand the benefits of a classical education. With my dedication to student empowerment and rigorous academic background, including graduating Summa Cum Laude from Columbia University and earning a fellowship to pursue my M.A. in Latin from the University of Michigan, I am ready to make a powerful impact on students...

...studied Latin, Sociology, and Political Science. Though my B.A. was in Latin, I became a science teacher because that was what was needed at the low-income school where I began teaching. With my mother and grandmother both having been teachers and my commitment to helping the world, it was not surprising that I tutored my own students frequently, developed ways to help them through state and standardized tests in my classroom, and always loved it....

...where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies with a second major in Theology. I am currently enrolled in an MA/PhD program in Philosophy at The Catholic University of America. Since sophomore year of high school, I have tutored students in Latin and Italian and more recently also in helping students prepare for the SAT and GRE. In my senior year of college, I was appointed as the Classical Studies Department tutor for...
