So that the student can express any confusion or difficulties she or he may be facing and I can then show them the best way to work through it.

...hold the dubious of honor of having taken the most languages simultaneously in my high school's history (five), and won translation awards in college for my Latin and Ancient Greek work. I studied classical languages at New York University, and followed it through to a Master's Degree in Latin and Greek at Florida State University.

More generally, I’ve been through grad school, and I have experience in the tests and skills involved in getting through it all: the GRE, writing skills, reading comprehension.

My favorite subject to teach, though, remains the SAT: I love the satisfaction of beating the test at its own game, and I am always deeply gratified when my students go from cowering in terror at the name of standardized testing to whizzing through tough math sections with relish. I also love tutoring Latin and Greek, which are...

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. In my free time, I love playing piano, running, riding my bike, and learning languages. My strongest academic...
