Award-Winning Latin Tutors in Dayton, OH

...tutor at ITT Technical Institute, and most recently as a substitute teacher, where my greatest joy comes when I am given the opportunity to work with and assist the students. I excel in teaching languages, particularly Latin and Ancient Greek, and I have found that I have an aptitude for conveying math concepts in a way that is understandable and approachable for students. I remember my own challenges when I learned new concepts, and I...

...and Greek and Roman culture. My personal favorite topic is Roman religion, which is a bit of a specialty of mine, as well as Roman poetry. My favorite authors are Catullus, Vergil, Seneca (his tragedies, not his philosophy), and Livy. My approach to both tutoring and teaching is to equip my students with the necessary tools to figure out grammar on their own. I am very patient, empathetic, and thorough, and I believe that a...

...Literature. I have experience tutoring high school and college students in Algebra, Latin, French, and Spanish. While I love all of the subjects that I tutor, I particularly enjoy tutoring Spanish and French because they open doors to communicating with and understanding so many people, both near and far! I have traveled to Peru and hope to travel more in the future. I strongly believe that anyone can learn anything, as long as enough time...

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.

...literature. I earned my BA in Philosophy at St Mary's College of Maryland and my MA in Ancient Languages at the Catholic University of America. I have tutored privately, as have also taught 1st and 3rd grade in the public school system. I want to help prepare young people for adulthood by bettering their writing skills, in addition to instilling in them a true love for reading. My goal is not simply to teach, but...

...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 student master the material at hand by exploring different learning styles and techniques. Though I tutor a variety of subjects including Latin, chemistry, biology, and math, my favorite subject to tutor is organic chemistry. Organic chemistry problem sets have always felt more like logic...

...from Oxford University (MSt) in Classics. My academic background includes a large amount of reading, analysis, and writing, which are suited to the SAT preparation. I especially love teaching Latin; over the past four years I have helped students master grammar and translation, while transferring my enthusiasm for the language and literature itself. I work very hard to make sure that my students make progress! In order to make this happen, I will tailor my...

...kind of music. You have a certain, almost intuitive sense of what to expect: certain instruments might be playing at a certain tempo, while the general format of the examinations almost never changes. Even so, there's always something new at hand: notes can be combined into chords played in different orders, and the numbers of a math problem might be altered. Listening to music and taking tests both reward perseverance: one might notice nuances and...

...powerful impact on students outside of the classroom. While I specialize in tutoring Latin and Greek and am familiar with a variety of textbooks, I am also skilled at preparing students for the SAT and GRE--particularly the reading and writing portions. 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. Over the past five years,...

...two of us to team up to tackle the material using a range of strategies until we find an approach that works for this particular student. My favorite subjects to tutor include writing and editing, whether we’re working on a research paper, a college application essay, or reviewing grammar; public speaking; SAT prep; and study skills and organization, because each of these areas boosts overall academic success and builds a student’s self-confidence. In any subject,...
