I've been lucky to have attended some fine educational institutions, though I don't come from the kind of background where such opportunities can be taken for granted. I believe every student should have the same opportunities as I've had, and I want to do everything I can to make those opportunitie...

Peter's history degree means he's spent years working with primary sources where Latin isn't decorative — it's the language of legal charters, church records, and the political documents that shaped Western civilization. That historical grounding gives him a concrete reason to teach case endings and...

Antony
Antony holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Classics, which means years of sustained reading in Latin prose and verse — not just a semester or two of grammar drills. That depth shows when he teaches syntax: he can walk a student through a dense periodic sentence from Cicero and explain e...

William
Forgetting about right and wrong answers is where Latin actually starts — William treats translation as an act of interpretation, encouraging students to play with how a sentence's meaning shifts depending on how they read a subjunctive or resolve an ambiguous ablative. His BA in Classical Languages...

Zachary
Calculus Tutor • +33 Subjects
I'm a PhD at Harvard studying German philosophy and classics (Greek and Latin). Next year, I will be starting law school to pursue my professional passion, tax law. I am deeply committed to the language and LSAT skills I've developed and I love to tutor students of all levels in these subjects. I can't imagine a life without teaching. My favorite part of teaching is helping students come to love -- or at least appreciate -- the details that make up complex subject matters. My favorite moment with any student is when the student realizes how fascinating a subject matter is after really mastering all of the "dry" details. When my students start internalizing the LSAT or languages I am teaching them, I know I am doing my job.

I am an aspiring physician, I believe that there are many parallels between the two fields of medicine and education that would enable me to provide a unique and meaningful perspective to the classroom. Medicine demands effective education through teaching patients and their families about specific treatments, the manifestation of certain diseases, and the mechanisms of infection within specific physiological pathways. I truly began to appreciate this after interacting with my own pediatrician, who had built her own clinic from the ground-up using her knowledge, the power of education, and the strength of connection. Concerned parents entered the visiting room with coughing and crying parents and emerged with their worries assuaged and feeling more empowered knowing how to take care of their child. This considered, it is vital for every physician to become properly trained to handle these responsibilities: to be effective communicators and leaders, to dissect complex concepts into manageable chunks, and to serve as beacons of support to those seeking his or her support. This is why I want to become an educator before I embark on my medical school journey because I know that, without valuing this integral yet often disregarded facet of medicine, I will not be able to provide the best care possible to my patients. Diagnosis demands more than medicine - it requires care, attention and compassion. These skills, although may be taught in tandem with classroom lectures, can be more fully appreciated through connection and service. This is why I hope to become a Varsity Tutor in the near future: to help build connections with students through service and education as well as foster a passion for learning and academic leadership both in and out of the classroom.

June
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +59 Subjects
I'm an electrical engineering major at Brown University with interests in neuroscience, linguistics, and robotics, among other things. I've always loved learning, and my curiosity has led me through numerous subject areas. I constantly seek to apply my classroom learning in practical situations. For example, I have conducted research on dementia using electrophysiology in a mollusk model. I participate in hackathons and robotics challenges that test not only my programming ability but also my hardware skills as a tinkerer. My engineering pursuits require a strong foundation in mathematics, my interest in the life sciences calls for a myriad of memorization techniques, and my participation in the academic world at large reminds me daily of the importance of sharp writing skills. I hope to share some of these things, both content and technique, with my students. Though I will make sure that they can come away from each session armed with the skills needed to take on the modern education system, I also hope that they will take with them some appreciation for learning itself.

Hi! I'm Emily, a bioengineering graduate and former engineering teaching assistant. I specialize in ACT/PSAT prep and enjoy helping students improve both their scores and confidence. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is seeing the "aha" moment when a concept finally clicks. I focus on creating a supportive environment, breaking challenging concepts into manageable steps, and helping students become more independent learners.

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.
