Few Latin tutors can match Mark's depth: a Master's in Latin from the University of Florida, a PhD, and professional reading fluency that extends to parsing dense prose and poetry at sight. He digs into everything from noun declensions and subjunctive mood for newer students to Virgil's hexameter an...

A PhD mathematician who also prepared for the SAT Subject Test in Latin, William brings the same precision he applies to proofs to the task of parsing Latin syntax — every sentence becomes a logical puzzle where case endings and verb forms are the variables to solve. His background in philosophy and...

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...

Biomedical sciences coursework means Sam encounters Latin daily — anatomical nomenclature, pharmacological terms, and disease classifications all trace directly back to the language's vocabulary and word-formation rules. That constant exposure to Latin roots and prefixes in a scientific context give...

Few students realize how much Latin overlaps with engineering thinking — every sentence is a system of interlocking parts where case endings, verb forms, and clause boundaries have to be identified and assembled in the right order. June studied Latin through four levels and prepared for the SAT Subj...

Zora
Latin's case system and verb conjugations can feel overwhelming until someone maps out the patterns clearly. Zora teaches declensions and syntax by showing how each grammatical structure signals meaning in a sentence, turning translation from a guessing game into a systematic process of decoding.

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...

1st Grade math Tutor • +47 Subjects
I am a high school English teacher, currently working primarily with 10th grade students. I have previously worked at middle and elementary schools as well. I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2016 with a B.A. in English and Theatre. I then got my M.S.Ed from Northwestern. I have worked with children of all ages in various capacities, including teaching, and I find that the best way for students to learn is to have fun and engage them. Hobbies: music, dancing, singing, art, books, reading, writing

I enjoy helping others realize their potential and making the impossible possible. Everyone can reach their goals, and it is my goal to help you reach yours! Math is my favorite subject, and I have even participated in competitions for it. I hope to help others fall in love with math as well.
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.
Dylan
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +44 Subjects
I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Physics and Classics and minoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. I'm qualified to teach a wide variety of subjects, but prefer to focus on the fields I'm studying in school listed above; I have a passion for those areas that I want to share with everyone, no matter the education level or confidence. I believe that no one is "bad at math," but many people haven't been taught math and science concepts in a way that matches how they best learn. As a result, I try to tailor my teaching style to be the best it can be for each individual student. With regard to math and physics, I myself prefer a physical, graphical understanding of different concepts, so I do best at explaining what seemingly abstract concepts actually mean in the real world and how they act on a graph.
William
Calculus Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am most interested in tutoring students in Latin or in English literature. I can also teach elementary Ancient Greek to any interested students. My strengths include language, writing, and literary analysis. I can also offer test prep help to students struggling with the SAT writing or critical reading sections, or the subject tests and AP Exams in Latin or English Literature. My philosophy is that students who are happy, engaged, and excited about the material, regardless of ability level, are the best learners. For test prep, this means avoiding the hysteria that many feel about the exams and focusing on the material itself with a realistic view of how to get the most out of the test. For Latin and English Literature, this means forgetting about right and wrong and discovering the joy of interpretation and of language. Outside of academics I am interested in guitar playing and the history of American popular music.
Alexander
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +32 Subjects
I attend the University of Houston majoring in Biomedical Engineering. Every exam taken at UH was administered through the CASA facilities; for every test there were CASA Tutoring Sessions where I volunteered for every exam in all my classes and absolutely love it! Although I did help students that were in my science classes (BIO and CHEM), I would say my strongest subject is Mathematics, particularly Calculus. I have taken Calculus - Calculus 3 and will be continuing my Math enrichment with Differential Equations this fall semester. There's no bigger pleasure than seeing a pupil exceed in a subject he or she is struggling with. And it would be my pleasure to fully dedicate my time to anybody needing help with Mathematics and Foreign Languages. I have kept all my Calculus notes, workbooks, and textbooks, as well as many French and Spanish vocabulary workbooks ready to open and study! Please feel free to ask absolutely anything. I am looking forward to teaching everybody who is ready to learn!
Shannon
Middle School Math Tutor • +11 Subjects
I have always been a highly ambitious student and strive to learn in everything I do. In high school I became enthralled with my ACT exams, embracing the challenge and being reinvigorated with each improvement I could make; over the course of a year, I self-studied from a 21 to a 34 and even had fun doing it! With that score I was able to attend Columbia University where I received two BAs: one in Archaeology and the other in Classics with a focus on Latin. In each step of my educational journey, I have been interested in accessibility and have been passionate about spreading information as widely as I can. I am now pursuing an MA at Columbia's Teacher's College in Anthropology and Education, specializing in the experiences of Neurodivergent learners.

I am a PhD student in Classics (Ancient Greek and Roman studies) at the University of Washington. I have been tutoring Latin since 2015 and was a 5th and 6th grade Latin teacher for Basis.Ed from 2016-2018. I love working one-on-one with students of all ages to improve Latin skills!
Mark
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +6 Subjects
I am passionate about helping students because I love learning. There is nothing better than being part of a community where people are learning and growing. My style is that of guide, coach and fellow explorer not that of lecturer. I am a graduate of the University of Washington, where I received Bachelor of Arts degrees in music theory and in classical languages (Latin and Greek). I obtained my teaching credentials for secondary mathematics at Western Washington University. Recently I earned my TEFL at the International TEFL Academy in Barcelona. I have worked with a wide variety of students, including elementary and high school, college and adults. I have led large classes of over 30 people, small groups and individuals. I have helped students learn and improve in a variety of subjects, mathematics, language, physics, music and more. I love to travel, experience new cultures and learn new languages. Currently I am learning about the culture of the Czech Republic and their language.

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.
