Award-Winning Latin Tutors serving Nassau County, NY

...to learning, there is no attribute more valued than passion. My teaching philosophy revolves around the core idea that the student should be the one to find the answers they need. Rote memorization, reciting, and hurling out facts without context will always place second to a true desire to learn when it comes to succeeding in academics. Not only should the tutor and the student aim to understand a subject, they should also try to...

...lectures to audiences in the US and abroad, I find that the most rewarding and enjoyable teaching experiences are those that are one-on-one. My expertise is in Philosophy, Literature, and European History, but my interests extend to languages (French, German, Hebrew, and Latin) and to the study of religion. Since I first caught what a former professor of mine called the "reading bug" back in college, I have come to discover a simple truth: literature...

...for themselves and to assist in their studies even beyond the tutoring session or particular subject area. Also, I find that motivation is a key factor in studying and that finding what interests you about a subject or even an unconventional (but effective) way to approach a subject can instill that motivation on its own, giving the student the desire to move forward for him- or herself. Even though I spend a lot of time...

...be proud of on the SAT, and I enjoy paying it forward. Finally, Latin because that was my major I studied Classics at Brown University. Classics is all about making connections between the literature, art, politics and philosophy of ancient Rome and Greece to form a narrative of the way these societies lived a long long time ago, and how this shapes the way we live today. I found Classics an incredibly rewarding area of...

...languages. I am an avid traveler, and New York City must be the only place I could settle down, given its diverse and exciting population. I taught science to elementary school children in rural parts of Eastern China as president of uLAB, a non-governmental organization whose goal was to encourage engagement and excitement in budding students. Though I am versed in many areas, I most enjoy tutoring Mandarin, Math, and English. There's a definite gratification,...

...Stanford University, where I received my BA in English and MS in Community Health and Prevention Research. Since graduating, I have worked in hospital administration and health equity research settings, as well as serving local hospices as a music volunteer.

...make the learning process fun and interesting! I have had formal and informal tutoring experience via my time serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Panama for 3 years. Although I am no longer a Peace Corps volunteer, I still live in Panama where I work in tourism and also offer English language tutoring services as well as writing, copywriting and editing services. I am originally from New York City, so English is my first...

...and believe that with the right preparation any student has significant control over their outcome on test day; this is partly a result of taking control over my own destiny when it came to the SAT, GRE, and most recently LSAT tests, on all of which I significantly improved on my own performance by following a disciplined regimen. I try to build a relationship with students that motivates them to succeed by learning more about...

..."struggling together", because as a student myself, I understand the challenge of trying to improve in an area where you don't feel confident. While I will definitely sympathize with students, that does not take away from my firm belief that growth is 100% possible with dedicated effort. I will aim to foster a positive and (hopefully fun) tutoring environment, and am really excited to work with students of all ages. Outside of school, I spend...

...I'm not tutoring I love to cook and try new recipes. A real foodie at heart, you can often find me watching Chopped and Great British Bake Off if I'm not actually in the kitchen. I also love to travel and recently got to go to Europe for a 2 month, 9 country trip! I always love to learn and try new things as well and have recently really gotten into skiing! Let me know...

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 opportunities available to every student.

...human anatomy. My main goal of tutoring is to instill a love of learning and an interest in the subject. Outside academia, I enjoy working in the medical field. I started my journey working as a hospital volunteer talking to patients during the most difficult of times. Inspired by this work, I wanted to delve deeper into the healthcare field. Therefore, I studied to pass the EMT exam and was able to work on an...

...growth and increasing his or her ability to work independently. First I explain and discuss the information and strategies the student needs. Then I point out instances where the student can use the strategies (and guide the student through them if need be). Lastly, I back off a bit, allowing the student to use strategies on his or her own. In the Writing Center, this process has given students greater confidence as they internalize knowledge...

...University of Edinburgh. My dissertation explored the philosophical-satire 'True Histories', applying post-structuralist theories of authorship, narratology, and representation. After graduating, I made the leap to New York, where I have lived for the past year and a half. In January 2025, I completed her Master's degree in Classics at New York University, with a 3.95 GPA. I am currently preparing my PhD applications, where I hope to research Greek Tragedy, intersected with Greek Sculpture and...

...teaching all grades and subjects during the school year. In the Summer, I've taught classes in Summer Camps all over Brooklyn, so I've definitely run the spectrum of youth education in New York City!

I also perform in Childrens' Musical...
