George
Georgetown Law's curriculum is steeped in Latin legal maxims — *stare decisis*, *habeas corpus*, *res judicata* — and George has been working with the language itself since well before law school, studying through Latin 4. That depth means he can teach everything from first-year noun declensions to ...

A Stanford Classics honors graduate, Sawyer reads Latin the way it was meant to be read — as a living system of grammar, rhetoric, and cultural context, not just declension tables to memorize.

Peter's history degree means he's spent years working with primary sources where Latin isn't decorative — it's the language of legal charters, church records, and the political documents that shaped Western civilization. That historical grounding gives him a concrete reason to teach case endings and...

Dylan
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +44 Subjects
I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Physics and Classics and minoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. I'm qualified to teach a wide variety of subjects, but prefer to focus on the fields I'm studying in school listed above; I have a passion for those areas that I want to share with everyone, no matter the education level or confidence. I believe that no one is "bad at math," but many people haven't been taught math and science concepts in a way that matches how they best learn. As a result, I try to tailor my teaching style to be the best it can be for each individual student. With regard to math and physics, I myself prefer a physical, graphical understanding of different concepts, so I do best at explaining what seemingly abstract concepts actually mean in the real world and how they act on a graph.
Paula
8th Grade math Tutor • +123 Subjects
I am extremely passionate about academics and learning; the value of each was inculcated into me at a very young age. I tutor a variety of subjects largely because I have so many areas of interests and have been privileged enough to pursue knowledge in those areas. I even enjoy tucking away "useless facts"...in fact, those very tidbits got me past the Jeopardy! Online Test and into the Contestant Audition!

"BYE TO AI" DISCLAIMER: At a time when so many tutors use AI to create lesson plans, conduct research, and even grade students' work, I must disclaim that I do not and will not use AI in our work together. The humanities are fundamentally, well, human, and AI has no place here. Hi! I'm Sophia, a writer, editor, tutor, and voice teacher. I graduated Vanderbilt University with my Bachelor's in History, a second major in Voice, a concentration in Musicology, and a minor in Italian. I'm currently pursuing my Master's. I have extensive experience with academic writing and am also an award-winning creative writer. If you need help editing an essay, college personal statement, or writing of any kind, I'm here! I tutor middle school through collegiate humanities (think ELA and History), as well as Voice and musical academics (Musicology, Music Theory, Solfege, Conducting, etc.) for students of all ages.

Carolyn
PSAT Writing Skills Tutor • +107 Subjects
I believe that all learning begins with curiosity; if a first little spark of interest can be kindled, understanding will soon follow. During my time spent serving as a volunteer tutor during both my high school and undergraduate years, I was able to help many students increase their knowledge of History, English Literature, and Grammar. Additionally, I was also able to help others gain the skill sets necessary for accomplished essay writing and SAT Verbal Test Preparation. My goal is to always guide the student towards a deeper comprehension of the subject matter, with development of the corresponding techniques and sense of confidence necessary for success.

Today, I continue to offer tutoring services in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, with a particular enthusiasm for Cellular Biology and Genetics. After graduating, I aspire to purse a career in clincal cancer genomics. Outside the academic realm, I enjoy traveling and exploring new cultures, which continually broadens my perspective and enriches my life experiences.

Noah
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a Duke University graduate with a degree in Computer Science, where I also played football and am currently working on a Master's Degree in Cybersecurity. I have always loved math and science and problem solving and these subjects have always been easy for me. I know this is not the case with many people and I have been tutoring since high school. I used to volunteer the local elementary and middle school and also my peers. In college, I helped tutor teammates and family and friends. I was the go to person for math and science when someone needed help even friends siblings at home in different states. Every since I can remember I have always been good at math and enjoyed learning different levels. For tutoring, I have learned to adjust how I tutor based on the needs of the person because everyone learns math different. I currently have a full time job but in my spare time I like being outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and animals. My family has a couple cats and a few dogs and I love to go spend time there with them.
James
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am a freshman at Yale University, hailing originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Latin verbs change based on person, number, tense, mood, and voice—creating hundreds of forms that feel overwhelming without a strategic approach. A tutor breaks this down by teaching the underlying patterns (principal parts, tense stems, and endings) rather than memorizing lists, helping you recognize conjugations in actual texts and build confidence with forms like the subjunctive and perfect tense that often trip up students.
Reading authentic Latin requires managing long sentences with embedded clauses, understanding word order patterns, and recognizing rhetorical devices—skills that go far beyond basic grammar. A tutor guides you through sentence structure analysis, teaches you to identify key grammatical relationships, and builds your ability to parse difficult passages, making texts like the Gallic Wars or Catilinarian Orations genuinely comprehensible rather than frustrating.
Latin vocabulary sticks best when you encounter words repeatedly in context and understand their roots—which inform English, Spanish, French, and other languages. A tutor helps you build active vocabulary through reading practice, teaches you to recognize word families and prefixes/suffixes, and uses spaced repetition with actual Latin sentences rather than isolated lists, making retention natural and meaningful.
Classical Latin grammar rules sometimes don't match what authors actually wrote—Cicero breaks his own rules for rhetorical effect, and poetic Latin uses different conventions than prose. A skilled tutor teaches you the core rules first, then shows you how real authors use (and bend) those rules, helping you develop intuition for what's grammatically correct versus what's stylistically intentional.
While written Latin is the primary focus, proper pronunciation helps with memorization, meter recognition in poetry, and understanding how Romans actually spoke. A tutor can teach you the restored classical pronunciation system, help you hear the stress patterns that affect meaning, and practice reading aloud—skills that deepen your connection to the language and make scanning Latin verse much easier.
Latin texts are full of cultural references—political systems, religious practices, daily life details—that are essential to understanding what you're reading. A tutor weaves in historical and cultural context as you encounter texts, explaining references to Roman government, mythology, and society so you're not just translating words but actually comprehending the author's meaning and rhetorical purpose.
AP Latin exams test both translation accuracy and comprehension of unseen passages, requiring you to recognize grammatical structures quickly and understand author intent. A tutor builds your scanning speed, teaches you to identify key grammatical markers instantly, provides practice with unfamiliar texts, and helps you develop strategies for the multiple-choice comprehension section—all skills that go beyond classroom preparation.
Beginning Latin students need strong foundational grammar (cases, declensions, conjugations) and confidence-building through manageable texts; advanced students need to tackle complex syntax, develop translation nuance, and build reading speed with authentic authors. A tutor tailors instruction to your level—scaffolding fundamentals for beginners or pushing into subjunctive clauses, indirect statements, and stylistic analysis for students aiming for AP success or college placement.
