Award-Winning Greek Tutors serving Fremont, CA

...Latin grammar from one outstanding high school teacher. I hope to emulate his outstanding teaching ability and allow others to succeed the way he allowed me. I've tutored students in Latin and Greek for over 10 years. I received a perfect score on the National Latin Exam and Latin SAT II and am familiar with preparing students for these exams, as well as for AP Latin. Some highlights of my educational and teaching background are...

...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 a certain, almost intuitive sense of what to expect: certain instruments might be playing at a certain tempo, while the general format of the examinations almost never changes. Even so, there's always something new at hand: notes can...

...Cum Laude from the University of Arizona in 2015, with my B.A. in English and a minor in Classics. I have three and a half years of experience tutoring high school and college students, in a wide variety of subjects, including ACT, SAT, and GRE test prep, as well as many topics in the humanities. I challenge my students to push themselves beyond what they thought possible, and I am always happy to help them...

...out of a vocabulary list. This mixing of regular life and the classical world indeed often tends towards the laughable. Instead of detracting from learning, however, I find that laughter is most often a sign of involvement and motivation. From a neurological standpoint, laughter is a sign of new mental connections, and it has been shown that more variously connected an idea is to others, especially in strange or otherwise laughable ways, the easier it...

I am an experienced tutor who loves the challenge of helping students achieve their goals. I love creative writing, literature, and playing Ultimate Frisbee. I help students think like a test-maker and see the trends on standardized tests.

...to water sports. From a young age, I loved to swim, scuba dive, catamaran sail, and windsurf. Its also a great pleasure of mine to teach younger kids how to windsurf, and I always make a point of taking any new visitors and friends on the catamaran, near our village of Pylos, in the southeast Peloponnese of Greece. As I have grown older, I have participated in two international catamaran races in Leukada, Greece, and...

...the underlying culture. In order to ensure that I am the right tutor for the student, I offer a free phone consultation during which I try to understand the goals of the student and propose a preliminary program. I am generally available for tutoring every day from 9am to 9pm. I am more than happy to meet at any location that is convenient for the student. I look forward to hearing from you!

...real-life result. Likewise, the greatest joy of tutoring is seeing the student gain a mastery over the material and use their knowledge to better understand the world around them. I am currently working towards my Undergrad degree at Baylor University, where I major in music and Ancient Greek. I am especially passionate about music theory and singing. Through music theory, once we learn the inner workings of music, we discover an "aha" moment nestled in...

...is they are learning. My degree in classical studies has given me a command of language of which I am proud, and this, coupled with my training and work as an actor, has enabled me to communicate concepts to students with numerous, precise, and individualized explanations. Students are often shocked by how bearable their least favorite subjects become when they're not so painful or scary. I try to give them the tools to make that...

...style. I believe learning works best in an encouraging and engaging environment, which is why I ensure students are comfortable being themselves. My goal is to make tutoring enjoyable for the student so they can ask questions and reach their fullest potential. Outside of academics, I enjoy painting, dancing, and volunteering in my community. I believe staying creative and giving back helps me bring the right energy to each session, and I strive to pass...

I have a Ph.D. in philosophy and classical languages, and have spent most of my life in several European countries. I am happy to use my knowledge to help students who are struggling or who just want an extra boost.

Message me for more details on how I can help you pass your next exam, test out your creative skills or...

...I have a wide range of interests and subjects I tutor in, including Theology/Religion, Logic, Math, Physics, and test preparation. (I've tutored for a few different, nationally known test preparation companies in the past.) I really do believe most people can learn just about anything if they have the desire and if it's presented to them in the right way. I enjoy the process of figuring out what a student is already good at and...

...I will begin pursuing a doctorate in Historical Linguistics, again at Oxford. I have broad experience tutoring Latin and Ancient Greek reading, translation, and writing, as well as ESL for adult learners. I am currently working towards my TEFL certification as well. Finally, I am very familiar with the English reading and writing sections of the SAT and ACT, and can help students improve their scores in these areas. As a teacher, I am most...

...to develop a successful academic plan for success. As a tutor, I am extremely meticulous and keen on time management. I usually tutor in English or History for the regents, SAT subject tests, or Advanced Placement exams. My course of action involves three main steps: First, I identify the areas that the student needs the most help in. I prepare a simple and easy to read outline for them on the subject. I also make...

I have over 13 years of experience teaching Latin, Ancient Greek and related subjects in Classics and Philosophy. My primary pedagogical commitment is to keep things fun, engaging, and vibrationally warm. The word "study" is from the Latin "studium", meaning "enthusiasm" -- so it's all about cultivating that enthusiasm. I also create educational content under the moniker Nathanology (youtube.com/nathanology). My interests include Ancient Greek, Latin, Classics, Philosophy, Ancient Philosophy, Music, Video-Making

...with my MA in Latin from the University of Michigan, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I had been a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me. Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to...

I believe that everyone can learn. I've gone through it all, I travelled to 5 different countries for my undergraduate degree, and I'll do everything you need to learn as quick and easy as possible.

...also a published fiction writer. My short stories have appeared in various literary journals. I am currently working on a novel. I have thirteen years of experience teaching in independent schools (Sacred Heart-Griffin High School, Elgin Academy, and the Latin School of Chicago). I have traveled with high school students to many destinations both domestically and in Europe. I am passionate about helping students with their study of Latin (a great language!) and about helping...
