...of the important issues which we face today. While I love history, my favorite subject to tutor is Latin. I absolutely love the language and love the opportunity to help others uncover the vast richness of literature written in Latin.

It would not be fair for a teacher in such an environment to answer just one student's questions, and tailor future lessons according to the needs of that student!
