Classics Tutoring FAQ
Classics is the study of Greek and Roman civilizations from ancient times until the beginning of the Early Medieval period. The tools of the discipline include history, archaeology, numismatics, literature, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and poetics. In the pursuit of knowledge in this field, you may encounter several versions of Homer's Odyssey in Ancient Greek, including the one in which Penelope elopes with her suitors. You may have to parse the Code of Theodosius, looking for the effects of the Battle of Hadrianopolis on Roman Law, nearly 1500 years after the extant Homeric epics. Perhaps you will discover why the Emperor Constantine was able to suggest his affinity with Helios, the god of the sun, while a century earlier Elagabalus was not.
You may need to explore the reasons why the Etruscans, a non-Indo-European substrate group in northern Italy, were the major export market for all those classical Greek vases you see around museums, or perhaps why the Greeks, whose tragic theatre is so important to us and to Shakespeare, claimed that they learned the art of theatre from these self-same Etruscans. Perhaps you are interested in why the word tragedy means quite literally in Greek, the song of the goat. The transition of Rome from monarchy to republic to empire to a vestige in the east (as the Byzantine Empire) is endlessly fascinating.
Why was Julius Caesar successful in ways that Sulla was not? Why was Augustus successful in ways that Julius Caesar was not? Why was second-century Rome so much more successful that the middle-first or third centuries? Why were Roman citizens buried along the Appian Way, but not in the city of Rome? How did the function of the Roman Senate change during the transition from republic to empire? Why is the Greek god Zeus called Jupiter in Latin, and why did Roman philosophers write in Greek? If you are taking a classics course, these are just a few of the questions you undoubtedly have encountered.
The answers are out there, somewhere, in reams of text written in English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, and Greek. The mastery of several languages is a key part of deep study in the field, and classics tutoring can help you get a handle on this rich and complex discipline.
Classics can be a difficult subject area because of the sheer amount of material you are expected to know. A private tutor can help in this regard because they can give you as much time as you need to become familiar with the material. A classroom setting doesn't really provide you with individualized instruction because your teacher doesn't have time to slow down or speed up the course to accommodate individual students. However, a private tutor can adjust the pace of their instruction to meet your needs. So whether you are struggling with a particular area and need more time to fully comprehend it or you already understand a topic and are ready to move in, a private tutor can make that adjustment.

The live learning platform enables you to meet with your private tutor either in person or face-to-face online. They can provide you with one-on-one tutoring at a time and location of your choosing.

Recent Classics Tutoring Session Notes
She read her social studies Chapter 8 section 1 out loud. We discussed and she took notes. She had a quiz on her last chapter and she only missed 2.
She read out loud Tangerine for her reading class. She pre-read the chapter for the week, so she could comprehend what was going on ahead of time.
The student and I again worked on his reading for social studies, this time focused on the Bill of Rights. We looked at some document-based questions, and spent a lot of time going through the material, asking and answering questions along the way. He had a better time with remembering and summarizing the material, and seemed to enjoy the session.
We covered Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War and went over the note packet that the student received in class and I had her write ID's about the main topics in the notes. I have no concerns or extra practice. She hadn't gotten back her test from the week before so I haven't seen any grades to denote progress although she indicated she thought she did well.
The student and I completed a homework assignment on Women in Ancient China. She read a passage, annotated, and completed questions about the main idea and supporting evidence. We then summarized the central themes in a paragraph. For the second hour of tutoring, I helped the student study for her science unit exam on ecosystems. I asked her questions about material and she responded orally.
Our session commenced at 4:30pm and concluded at 6:15pm at the Library. We worked primarily on his essay which was due this Friday. We were also allocated some time to the completion of his math homework involving expressions and variables. He did especially well on the math homework, but struggled to form his own ideas for the purpose(s) of completing the essay, so I gave him some vocabulary homework.
We worked on the student's storyboard on Malcolm X. We focused on pulling together the information we wanted to highlight and pairing each fact with a relevant image. If the student is allowed to present it as a PowerPoint, he's good to go. If he has to change the format, he'll reduce the wording and emphasize the images.
