Award-Winning Latin Tutors in Chula Vista, CA

...members of my university to tutor other college students through the Academic Support Center. At the same time, I began tutoring high school students in chemistry, biology, and mathematics. With three years tutoring experience, I have developed a teaching philosophy focused on meeting the student where they are. I believe that students struggling with a subject are not "bad at it", they just have not found the right approach. My job is to help each...

...learning, as well as their personal interests and goals, in an effort to find the most effective avenue towards understanding and retention of the material. When it comes to subjects in the humanities, social sciences, and language arts, I find that an interdisciplinary approach can be a great way to understand the material. Finding ways in which an uninteresting topic or subject related to one which the student does find interesting makes learning and retaining...

...style and strengths in order to provide the best possible environment for learning. While lesson planning is a priority, it’s equally important to remain flexible and creative in working with students of all ages. When I’m not teaching I love singing Disney songs or Broadway tunes or curling up on the sofa with a good book and my cat. On the flip side I’m equally happy cheering on my favorite sports teams, especially hockey!

...on since 2006, my early students were referred to me by my college professors and, more recently, I have been meeting with my own students before and after school. As a teacher of a world language, I have wide ranging experiences with teaching grammar, social studies, and writing as they pertain to my subject. My favorite subjects to tutor are Latin, Anthropology, and Social Studies because I love to make the parallels, but I have...

...well as in the foreign language. Over the course of my years as a tutor, I have seen my students expand their vocabulary and rhetorical skills in English through their study of foreign and classical language. I firmly believe that by grasping the roots of language, students will set themselves apart as writers, not only for standardized tests and in college, but throughout life. During my time off from school I enjoy gardening, fishing, cooking,...

...similarly to how you build your Facebook profile. Your college application "profile" is your opportunity to show colleges how awesome you are with the aim of compelling them to send you a friend request. It would be my pleasure to work with you on test prep; including SAT, SAT II Latin, SAT II German, AP English, ACT, ISEE, and HSPT. I would also enjoy working with you on persuasive essays and research papers, Latin I-III,...

I grew up in Belgium before moving to Los Angeles in 2010, and now I live in New York. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Bioethics and Natural Sciences and recently was accepted to medical school. I am a native French and Dutch speaker (don't worry - my English is good, too!) but I also love studying and teaching sciences, including physics, general and organic chemistry, biology, as well as math and Latin.

...subjects to help with tend to be those most involved with language - Latin, Spanish, Reading/Writing skills - as well as Psychology, a more recent passion. I'm also happy to assist students with math for test prep like the SAT and GRE. As a tutor I would consider my style to be supportive but challenging - I want my students to realize how capable they are, and to do that, they need to work! I...

...until they thoroughly understand both the big and small picture. At the more advanced level, I enjoy helping students discover the extraordinary amount of work which goes into any piece of Latin or Greek, from word choice to rhetorical devices, and occasionally poetic meter. I especially love discussing the roles of women in epic- Dido and Medea are my personal favorites! When not teaching, I love playing field hockey and ice hockey. Also, I am...

...also completed a second graduate degree in English at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. I have always worked with students in different capacities, most recently as a professor at a local community college. I also have experience tutoring students in everything from basic math and reading skills to college level writing and test preparation. I most enjoy helping students with their writing because they can see concrete improvements from their hard work after a session....
