Stacy Kathryn

English Grammar and Syntax Tutor • +19 Subjects

I believe that a solid education is a gateway to making informed decisions throughout life, and I am passionate about helping students access that. For the past 11 years, I've had the pleasure of working with students of all agesfrom as young as 3 to over 50both online and in classrooms, as a tutor and teacher. My experiences span across diverse subjects and learning environments, which has equipped me with the ability to adapt my teaching to the individual needs of each student. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Global Studies: Global Security from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a Master's degree in Human Rights and Multi-Level Governance from the University of Padova. In addition, I have earned a variety of certificates related to my fields of interest. My academic background is interdisciplinary, drawing from political science, sociology, history, anthropology, and human rights law. I tutor a wide range of subjects, including English (in many forms such as EFL), art history, political science, social sciences, Latin American history, and writing. Two of my favorite areas to teach are EFL and history. I enjoy teaching EFL because language learning can open doors to new opportunities and cultural understanding, while history and political science are deeply connected to my career in human rights advocacy. I also have a passion for art history, having studied painting and drawing in college for three years. My teaching philosophy centers on being flexible and adaptive to the needs of my students. I believe in meeting them where they are, understanding their individual learning styles, and adjusting my approach accordingly. Whether it's through structured lessons or creative problem-solving, my goal is always to help students gain confidence and become independent learners. Outside of academia, I am involved in human rights advocacy and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking. I also love knitting, which gives me time to unwind and be creative.

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.

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.

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.

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.
