Award-Winning Latin Tutors in Blaine, MN

...I know they are capable of going and what they are capable of doing." I believe that people should always strive to know more. Curiosity makes the world a better and, frankly, a more fun place. If I can instill that lifelong curiosity into even one of my students, I would have reached success. I also firmly believe that conversation is a huge part of a successful teaching/learning process. No one knows how the students...

I am a recent graduate from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN where I studied Math and Classics. While at St. Olaf I spent three years tutoring for the on-campus Academic Support Center. I love being able to share my passion for Math and Latin, both of which are generally under appreciated subjects that people often struggle with. I want everyone to be able to see that they are capable of excelling.

...levels and aptitudes. I have also tutored in a wide variety of subjects including Physics, Writing, Latin, and of course Math. My approach in all of these subjects is to emphasize an understanding of core principles and to tackle difficult problems from this strong foundation. Thus my academic approach is to work from the ground up with a priority on problem-solving skills instead of rote memorization. When I'm not tutoring, I pursue hobbies that are...

...to be used. As a coordinator (see below) I encouraged my instructors to pick and choose which exercises and types of technology they felt benefitted students most and, moreover, to avoid those exercises in which the student's negotiation of the task becomes overly complex with regard to the objective. General: My success rate in the first, second, and third years has, I think, been very high, and I have always prided myself on the fact...

...these wonderful languages to the student. I would have never gone on to this career path were it not for the same passion of my Latin and Greek teachers and professors. I want to convey that learning these languages can open up a whole new world of literature and culture, and enrich one's life in many new ways. Outside of work, I enjoy running every day. While in school, I made it a habit to...

...Irvine. I have tutored a variety of students, ranging from the elementary to the college level, for the past four years. I primarily tutor subjects relating to the Humanities, such as Ancient Languages, History, and English Composition. My favorite subject to tutor is Latin, since I regard Latin as the most beautiful and intricate of the human languages. When tutoring I first ask for a copy of the course syllabus/schedule, assess the needs, goals, and...

...over-arching discipline concerning the knowledge of what is, disperses me into many of the various subjects within which the joy of thinking can inhabit. I am excited to work with students and learn from them and see the ways in which their thinking can develop, as well as help them acquire the skills to succeed in their courses. In my free time, I enjoy playing music (piano, guitar bass), as well as reading poetry and...

...of mine to instill the same enthusiasm in my students about the ancient world as I have. I firmly believe that learning Latin is as valuable for one's development as a student and a scholar as Math or English Literature. I also understand that learning it, especially at the introductory levels, can occasionally be rather intimidating. I try to make myself as relaxed, fun, and seemingly approachable while I am teaching/tutoring as I can to...

...where art and science/technology is concerned. I believe that art can be used as a tool for communication and social change both on micro- and macro-social scales. As far as tutoring is concerned, I have extensive experience teaching everything (and everyone) from piano to essay-writing to beginning chemistry. I hope to instill a love and excitement for whatever subject I am tutoring with my students by tailoring each lesson plan to his/her specific learning style...

...study facilitates the acquisition of the humanities in an especially holistic, stimulating, and flexible intellectual environment. Furthermore, it's incredibly fun and enriching stuff! And if the fun in it can't be seen, my job and my longing is to help students see that all learning is an utter joy! I feel drawn to teach so that I can help others begin to think about the world in a more informed manner, and especially so that...
