Award-Winning Latin Tutors in Elk Grove, CA

...for the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" which my teacher requested an extra copy of so that she could use it as an exemplar for next year's students. I am a member of The National Society of High School Scholars, World Foreign Language Honor Society, Virginia Senior Classical League, and I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Civic Seal. Outside of academics, I enjoy drawing, writing, reading (especially language books), hiking, swimming, and kayaking with...

...acquired Medieval Latin during my MA at the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto. When not busy with academics, I fence on the varsity team, practice yoga, write poetry, and travel. During my summers I teach (art intensives, fencing, science, and more) at summer camps to groups of varying ages and ability levels. I am not only uniquely qualified academically, but also adaptable, fun, and invested in my students successes!

Hi, I am an experienced college and secondary education teacher. I have taught Latin 1-4, history, literature, and theology to 7th-11th grade. I have also taught introduction to Philosophy, Ethics, and Religion to college students. I have an M.A. in Philosophy and am currently working on my PH.D. in Philosophy from the University of Birmingham (U.K.).

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.

...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 believe in a relaxed...

...lacrosse camps, and became involved in academic tutoring through his high school soon after. He believes that common foundations of learning exist across many disciplines, and values a specific and flexible approach to any topic to best apply those ideas and ensure individual enjoyment and success for every student. In the spare time he manages to carve out of his schedule, he enjoys playing lacrosse, attempting to keep up with movies, rooting on the New...

...language as 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,...

...a strong interest in working with younger students. Throughout my career I have been recognized and awarded for the skill with which I inspire students in several different disciplines, for the ease with which I build strong relationships, and for the innumerable ways I contribute to the school community. My education in the Classics and in History, my award-winning experience, as well as my longstanding love for language, literature, and history, enable me to excel...

...Roman sites in England and Italy. During my BA I also found a passion in Latin. It gave me a challenge I was looking for and I love to beat it. My mission as a tutor is to help students to fully comprehend, memorize, and be as successful in Latin as they possibly can. I am extremely patient and will do whatever it takes to help you become better at the language.... Assess exactly where the student is at with Latin. Ask what difficulties they have been having, and start a plan to get them on track to success!

...taught/tutored Latin 5-12 and AP, Sociology, Social Studies/World History, Math, Algebra 1, English and Reading in both public and private schools as well as online. I enjoy my students and everything I teach, but guess I probably like Classics the best. I know how easy it is for a student to get lost in a class of 25-30 students and how it is to feel lost or so far behind you don't think you will...
