Award-Winning Classics Tutors

Hi! I'm an undergraduate student at Yale University, with a prospective double major in Mathematics and History. I strive to bring students toward their lightbulb moments not by repeating facts until they're drilled in, but by helping my students understand precisely why the laws of science, the rules of grammar, and the events of history are the way they are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that...

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a BA in Philosophy and German. This course of study has motivated me to pursue an MA in German and continental philosophy. While this area is fascinating in itself, I am very thankful for my philosophical education because it has also sowed within me a deep commitment to teaching, teaching that aims not only for understanding, but also for creating and encouraging interest in specific topics and...

I am a rising freshman at Stanford University, where I intend to study Classics and Linguistics. As a homeschool student, I started studying Latin at a young age, and it quickly became my greatest academic passion. For several years, I competed in many Latin and Greek-related contests, winning national awards for my proficiency in the Classics. Early on, I started coaching and tutoring less advanced students, and found the experience both enjoyable and rewarding. Helping...

I love to learn and I love to help others in their learning process. I teach English Composition at a local college and I have tutored all different levels in English, Spanish, Italian, French, Writing, Sociology, Philosophy, and more. My method of teaching is to first find out what the student knows, what he or she hopes to learn, and about any passions or concerns the student has. Second, I present a plan of how...

Working with students to improve their learning experience is an absolute priority for me. In remembering my own experience throughout elementary, middle, and high school, I can recognize gaps in my understanding of certain subjects and where my strengths lie. I believe that from this experience I can fill in the gaps for younger students, building partially from my own academic experience and partially from my knowledge in specific areas, and then tailoring that experience...

I also try to incorporate my research experience at institutions like the NIH into my tutoring in these areas, using real-world examples from cutting-edge research and scientific communication skills gleaned from poster sessions and academic publications to supplement the teaching experience. Outside the sciences, I also have two years of experience working with a student individually in the humanities. I started with this student in 8th grade; he had...

...and this is a convenience for which I am very fortunate. I recognize, however, that every mind learns in its own way---a reality that institutional education cannot accommodate. I make it my priority to determine what methods of demonstration and motivation are best suited to every student I work with. I look forward to working with you. I really do love learning, and think I have a knack for sharing that love.... Every mind works differently;...

I am a graduate of Boston University having received a BA in Linguistics and Classics with a minor in Archaeology.
