In October I will be traveling overseas to Oxford University to pursue a Master of Philosophy degree in Greek and Latin Languages and Literature.

...University of California, Irvine. I have tutored a variety of students, ranging from the elementary to the college level, for the past four years. I primarily tutor subjects relating to the Humanities, such as Ancient Languages, History, and English Composition. My favorite subject to tutor is Latin, since I regard Latin as the most beautiful and intricate of the human languages. When tutoring I first ask for a copy of the course syllabus/schedule, assess the...

...Ovid's Metamorphoses, as well as the Aeneid. I have spent my last two years of school in Paris, where I went to study abroad for my junior year and ended up staying for another 4 ½ years. (C'est comme ça, ne c'est pas?) In Paris, I worked as a French and English tutor, sharing my love for language, literature, culture and grammar with all of my students. I worked in French public schools as well...

...in loads of other activities including multiple sports, book clubs, board games, and more. I come from a family of educators (both my parents are teachers and I have uncles who have been deans and presidents of universities), and I love teaching and helping people learn as much as I can because I'm a lover of learning myself. I keep a very positive attitude in life and I promise to be adaptive to whatever forms...

...group leader at an overnight camp for several years, I discovered how much I enjoyed being a mentor and guiding hand in someone else’s life. As a young man myself, I developed a passion for Latin early on, and excelled in it through middle school, high school and college eventually earning my B.A. in Classics. Upon graduating, I went on to teach Latin for three years. My principal would always cite my ability to motivate...

...have big plans for after graduation. This coming summer, I plan to travel to Russia and South America, where I hope to "WWOOF" (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms), among other things. Once I have had my fill of travel and adventure, I hope to return to school and get a degree either in Graphic Design or in Urban Planning. I am extremely passionate about interdisciplinary studies, especially where art and science/technology is concerned. I believe...

...in Classics and Political Science. Part of graduate school is learning to be a teacher, and I have taught many courses in the University of California system in both Classics and History departments, so I am familiar with subjects ranging from Ancient Epic Poetry and Women in the Classical World to Modern Western Civilization and Medieval Literature. I have designed and taught two of my own courses as instructor of record, both on Roman History....

Two of these years I taught introductory courses on Greek and Roman civilization. I have extensive experience working individually with students during my office hours, which students frequent above all for help with their papers. Whatever the stage of the writing process, I can pass on lots of practical knowledge hard-won from years...
