...While I took great pleasure in teaching classes, I found the most enjoyment working with students individually. Helping them learn and watching as they gained confidence in their ability made my decision to become a full time tutor an obvious choice. I tutor Latin and Ancient Greek.

It has also been a joy to help students prepare for forensics public speaking competitions. What fascinates me about theater, literature, Latin, etc. is the ways in...

Although I clearly have a deep passion for my subject matter, I have an even greater passion for student achievement that drives me to work relentlessly to obtain results.
