...privately tutoring a wide range of students from elementary school students to high school seniors on subjects ranging from mathematics to the Writing portion of the ACT. As a student myself, I strongly believe in having a passion for learning, and as a tutor, I believe it is my duty to impart that desire for understanding and knowledge. When teaching, I focus not on simply communicating the material, but in teaching generalizable learning techniques and...

...subject that I am passionate about, is incredibly rewarding. When I tutored children at a Montessori school, I found that I was a very effective tutor, helping the children to better understand a variety of subjects from math to Latin.

...standardized exams. While I love to learn new things, I also like to expand on the things I already know. I possess a wealth of knowledge in various areas, but one of the things that I find fun about learning is seeing how subjects connect to the real world. It makes things a lot more interesting once you start seeing these connections. I am a very personable and patient individual and I can work with...

...continued to study Greek and Latin in the University of Pennsylvania's Post-Baccalaureate Classical Studies Program, and then acquired Medieval Latin during my MA at the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto.
