Award-Winning Latin Tutors in New York City, NY

...my experience, I have tutoring experience in both one-to-one settings, going as far back as high school, and group/classroom settings, especially from my 4 years of tutoring with Yale MATHCOUNTS. As a likely future graduate student myself, it is my general goal in life to continue the tradition of passing forth knowledge. Not surprisingly, I have always considered tutoring and education among the most noble of professions where both parties, student and teacher, benefit and...

...possible through exposure to historical sources and understanding of their uses--I also frequently approach history from a so-called "bottom-up" or microhistorical approach, which I've found in teaching Roman Republican history can be very useful for students in understanding how a society functioned, which is crucial for their understanding of causality of events. These methods of approaching teaching in these particular subjects served me well during high school and now as I approach the end of...

...to earn a degree in Latin and Greek literature in college, I really think my passionate interest in this subject was nurtured and allowed to thrive because of the extremely solid foundation I received in Latin grammar from one outstanding high school teacher. I hope to emulate his outstanding teaching ability and allow others to succeed the way he allowed me. I've tutored students in Latin and Greek for over 10 years. I received a...

...acceleration at supernova shock fronts in the Princeton University Department of Astrophysics, simulating how the turbulent plasmas push protons and ions. I have also worked at the Norfolk State University Department of Engineering, designing, simulating, optimizing, and building light filters for wavelength-division optical-electronic multiplexers. Another field I study is the mathematics of quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings, such as the Penrose tiling of rhombuses. Outside of school I play the trombone and piano, and enjoy hiking...

...for more than five years. I strive to not only prepare students to exceed academic standards but also to be critical thinkers and curious, well-informed human beings. I recently completed a dual degree at Indiana University and moved to New York to take a gap year before beginning graduate school. As a scholarship student at IU, I majored in economics, cognitive science, and piano performance. Outside of tutoring, you can find me playing or teaching...

...a "professional" student. I say this because absorbing, analyzing, and integrating knowledge from my medical courses are necessary skills for my own academic success. And so, I am more than happy to share my study strategies, techniques, and tips with students. My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring Latin. Believe me when I say it's a beautiful language! During my pursuit...

...in STEM and Humanities from grades K-12. I also have experience tutoring in college level Biology and Chemistry classes. As a NYC native, and a Bronx High School of Science graduate I understand that students are constantly under pressure and competition. My goal is to make sure students understand and believe in their own prowess while continuing to improve their skills and capacities. I hope that we will have an opportunity to work together in...

...about and studying. I believe I am a good tutor and teacher because I am patient, encouraging, and have good communication and classroom management skills. I do not get frustrated if my students do not understand something right away; instead, I look for an alternative way to explain whatever is confusing to my students. My goal is not simply to help my students improve their grades, but rather to teach reliable study skills, encourage interest...

...with ESL students and students with disabilities. I am especially passionate about foreign languages, the humanities, and social sciences. I received four consecutive gold medals on the National Latin Exam when I was in high school, so I am eager to help students who are struggling with the subject. I also specialize in the areas of English-language writing, grammar, and reading comprehension. I have wanted to be a teacher from a rather young age, and...

I am a first year at the University of Virginia majoring in Computer Science.

...communication about any difficulties my students have with the day's material. Students must feel comfortable enough to express when they don't understand a concept - no matter how seemingly insignificant. With the information my students relay, I can tailor each session appropriately. Ultimately, I want to give my students tools that will help them succeed in their academic careers. Oftentimes, half of the battle with learning anything new is overcoming the fear of being incapable...

...in Summer Camps all over Brooklyn, so I've definitely run the spectrum of youth education in New York City! In my junior and senior years of college, I won English Department awards for playwriting and essaywriting, and my plays have been read and performed in theater spaces, including at the Thespis Theater Festival 2013. I also perform in Childrens' Musical Theater with the group FunikiJam! World Music (www.funikijam.com). I enjoy tutoring because I get to...

...kids and adults. While I feel most confident teaching language arts and English skills, I have experience in teaching a wide variety of subjects, including math, science, and history, and I enjoy them all. Currently, I'm comfortable doing online tutoring or, after discussing safety and precautions, careful in-person tutoring. I attended a very competitive private high school in the city where I studied Latin and began exploring my interests in writing and theater. At college,...

...the way reading a novel can pick you up and bring you anywhere. Someplace magical, someplace mysterious. Writing is an outlet used for expression and can be very therapeutic. Finding your creativity is a fun way to get to know yourself better. In addition to teaching, I am also the debate coach at my school. I'm an animal lover and in my free time I volunteer at many different animal rescue associations. I am able...

...publisher Tor Books in downtown NYC. My tutoring style is based on the belief that each student comes to a problem or subject from a different angle. The trick is not only to find the approach that works for the student, but also to boost the student's own investment in finding the methods that work best. I believe a student learns best when choosing to engage with the subject on a personal level. In my...

...student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I began tutoring junior high and high school students in math and science as a freshman in high school, and have continued refining these skills throughout my time in college. I completed the MCAT in March 2017, and still vividly remember the study strategies that resulted in a successful score. My high school students have had great success on the SAT Subject Test in Biology, often scoring in...

...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 study and I can help you make serious improvements...

Hi! I'm Noah, a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.

I'm a current engineering undergrad at Columbia University in applied mathematics. Really interested in machine learning and biology. Classical language and history are also pretty neat. Former rower and swimmer. I graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 2016.

...graduated from Colby College in 2018, having double majored in Classics and Classical Civilization. I studied Latin in Columbia University's Classics Post Baccalaureate program. I am currently at Columbia University as a first year MA student in Classics with a focus in Latin Literature. I have been taking Latin classes for 11 years, and I have tutored for 5 years (2 years in high school, 3 years in college). I love Latin and getting to...
