Award-Winning Latin Tutors in Montgomery County, PA

...when I returned to Philadelphia, I started working as a classroom ESL teacher for Kaplan International. Maybe because of these experiences, my favorite subjects to help with 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...

...and Latin in the University of Pennsylvania's Post-Baccalaureate Classical Studies Program, and then 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...

...experience. Throughout my personal struggles with academics, and my work with students of all ages I have discovered the value of the individualization of course materials to meet the unique needs of each student. I believe that all students are unique, and thus have their own personal styles of interpreting and retaining information. By teaching students through lessons created in harmony with an individuals learning style, students are able to understand information at a whole...

After college, I received a Fulbright Scholarship to study architecture at Cambridge University, where I got my Master's degree in Architecture.

...want to be a clinical psychologist. I feel teaching will be a more fulfilling career for me; I am planning to be a high school/middle school math teacher. During high school, I tutored Latin and have tutored Math during high school and college. The best tutors tailor their lessons to the learning styles of their students. I enjoy finding accessible and creative approaches to simplify complex concepts for my students. My favorite pastime is Capoeira,...

...and get incredibly passionate about the subjects that I'm interested in. I have been tutoring students in Latin for many years, and I've found it deeply rewarding to help other students gain the same love for the language that I have. I also really enjoy working with students on writing essays, preparing for the SATs, and more! I'm also a rower, a huge animal lover, and a Jeopardy! champion who appeared on the 2014 College...

...which are suited to the SAT preparation. I especially love teaching Latin; over the past four years I have helped students master grammar and translation, while transferring my enthusiasm for the language and literature itself. I work very hard to make sure that my students make progress! In order to make this happen, I will tailor my approach to a subject to the specific needs of each student. In my spare time, I do landscape...

...naturally to me. Varsity Tutors gives me an opportunity to work with students to help them do better in school, find more joy in learning, and occasionally, make a real difference in their lives. My interests are extremely broad, and I usually develop a substantial amount of knowledge in every area I find interesting. For this reason, I am able to tutor across a variety of disciplines and to help students see connections between and...

...Math classes. My greatest strength as a tutor is my ability to simplify abstract concepts using analogies and real-life comparisons so that anybody can learn them. Showing students how their studies relate to the rest of the world is the best way to create long term interest and understanding. My main focus is typically "teaching toward the test," as making sure my students get the grades they need is always the priority.... I first assess the student's needs, then work to convey understanding of the material, and finish by practicing what we've gone over and discussing strategies for exams/homework in the future.

I have at least five years of tutoring and teaching experience in grades K-12 and at the collegiate level. Although my training has been interdisciplinary, among my specialties are English Language, Literature, and Linguistics. I also have experience as a Writing Tutor, primarily for English and French, and my recent graduate work was an interdisciplinary degree in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. My teaching methods are designed to be fun and engaging for all levels. I...
