Award-Winning Latin Tutors in Austin, TX

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a degree in English as well.In spite of my English background, I do a lot of math and physics tutoring. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.

...at Austin as a graduate student. Reading and language acquisition are two of my strongest assets, primarily working in English, Greek and Latin, but also with reading fluency in four additional languages. I have traveled extensively in Europe, as an archaeologist and for my own curiosity, and I am enthusiastic about the influence of culture of learning, expression, and history. I have always had a knack for mathematics and was originally on track to be...

...two levels of Latin at Parkway North High School, a public school in St. Louis County, Missouri; I have taught three levels of Latin (Introduction to Latin, Latin A, and Latin I), as well as enrichment courses (for 6th grade math, 7th grade English Language Arts, and Algebra I) and an SAT Prep class (for 7th graders participating in the Duke TIP) at Baylor College of Medicine Academy at Ryan Middle School, a new magnet...

...range from medieval Scholasticism to contemporary issues in bioethics and law. I believe that tutoring is not only about the transfer of knowledge between the tutor and the student, but also a transfer of skills, which would help the student learn how to find the answer himself or herself and to solve whatever academic problems come his or her way. Equally, important is demonstrating the real-world application of what a student is doing.

Although I spend my days teaching in a classroom, I love moonlighting at a tutor because of the individualized attention that my students receive. I bring several years of classroom experience to the table, as well as a teaching credential from the University of Oxford and a BA from Northwestern University. While my classroom experience is in English/reading and history, my tutoring experience has been in everything from math to foreign languages. ... In short, I believe that education should be made as enjoyable as possible!

...I have had much experience critiquing, editing, and improving on the work of others. I have also gained much experience in professionalism, management, and bureaucracy such as deadlines, and reports. My ability to motivate others and foster meaningful personal interactions is uncanny. My background in history gives me knowledge of trends in society and culture as well as writing experience. My classical education provides me an understanding of the roots of Western Civilization, including legal...

...knowledge of grammar, syntax, and essay structure is unparalleled - you must master grammar in order to learn another language. The methods I've developed in studying languages can be applied equally to test prep, as they develop top level memorization, retention and recall skills. I have over a year’s experience working with young children, children with special needs, and advanced placement students. Whatever the needs, I will cater to your personal educational tastes and engage...

...I taught beginning Latin. I love teaching Latin. Students can tell that I am passionate about Latin (or whatever I’m teaching), and some of my enthusiasm rubs off on them. I have experience working with students at different levels (from middle school to college) and with different learning styles. I want learning Latin or any subject to be as enjoyable as possible for the student, so I will experiment with different techniques and exercises until...

...individual, tailored tutoring to many students over the years. In addition to helping students with specific subjects, I frequently help them with time-management, study skills, academic-life balance, and strategies to make sure they benefit the most from their time in and out of the classroom. I most enjoy tutoring Latin and writing. I love helping students with their essays and showing them how to build an effective argument because the ability to communicate and demonstrate...

...and standardized tests in my classroom, and always loved it. For adolescents, I find that reclaiming their academic experiences through reflection was just as important on drilling them in the facts when it came to ACT, SAT, and AP preparation. A few opportunities to help the parents of my students reinvigorated me as I helped adults get their GED, pass required college courses for their degree, and prove to themselves that anything is possible with...
