Award-Winning Latin Tutors in New York City, NY

Growing up as a child in various academic environments, I can vividly remember certain individuals who helped me along my journey of learning. I would like to be remembered by someone as a facilitator of learning as well.

...native English speakers for over 14 years, which I love. I work as a Professor of Composition and Literature, and currently tutor two ESL professionals. I have also taught Speech, Psychology and Theatre on a collegiate level, as well as lower level English, ESL, Composition, Speech, and Theatre. I am available to tutor these subjects, along with other Humanities, from five years old through high school, college and beyond, including seniors! I am also a...

I am a recent college graduate from SUNY Albany. I received my BA in Sociology with a minor in Psychology. I'm planning to go to Hunter College in the fall to pursue my Masters in Social Work. I've tutored elementary school aged students in math, spelling, science, reading, and writing comprehension. I've also tutored fellow classmates from high school/college in Beginner Spanish (Spanish 1), and various math subjects/levels.

...is most often a sign of involvement and motivation. From a neurological standpoint, laughter is a sign of new mental connections, and it has been shown that more variously connected an idea is to others, especially in strange or otherwise laughable ways, the easier it is to remember. Additionally, a willingness to play in the language helps to remove the fear of making mistakes which holds back students in learning any subject. Even as a...

...I am a sophomore at Fordham University majoring in Math/Computer and Information Sciences, so my specialties are in STEM subjects. However, I've also taken AP/College level courses in high school in history, english, psychology, philosophy and others, so I am confident that I can tutor in any subject at least up to a high school level. Another area I am proficient in is SAT/ACT test tutoring. My SAT test scores are 770 in English and...

I have a Ph.D. in philosophy and classical languages, and have spent most of my life in several European countries. I am happy to use my knowledge to help students who are struggling or who just want an extra boost.

...Literature from Rutgers and received a BA in Modern Literary Studies from UC Santa Cruz with a focus on French Language and Literature. At Rutgers, I have taught courses in the Comparative Literature department, the English Writing Program, and the Honors College. Prior to Rutgers, I was a High School teacher where I taught for 7 years a variety of courses such as French, Latin, Spanish, and English. I have lived in France and return...

...actually have experience in doing it, you probably won't be able to do it at all. My function, then, is simply that of a coach. If you find yourself having trouble in learning something, I'm here to guide you. I'll put you through exercises and, if necessary, come up with a regimen for you. Hopefully, you won't need me too much, but if you're struggling and you find yourself in need of assistance, I am...

...can enjoy all the brilliant and moving literature it has to offer. Sometimes students are even told they are "bad at" a language, before they have had the chance to achieve small accomplishments and look forward to bigger ones. The way into Latin and Greek is confidence through mastering the building blocks of the languages, enjoying the "strategy game" aspect of translation, and learning how to understand a thrilling culture and literature which is much closer...

...am an avid sports fan, particularly of football, baseball, soccer, and golf. I also enjoy traveling, having done so extensively throughout Spain and other places in Europe, such as Rome, Paris, and Germany. There is nothing quite like speaking the native language (whether it's Spanish or broken French, Italian, and German) and experiencing the architecture, food, art, and music of all these places far away from home. These experiences have reinforced my appreciation for History...

...story, but I had a bard for a second grade teacher. He got me hooked on the Odyssey, which ended up defining my academic life. Writing, myth, journalism, linguistics, history: it's all a part of this huge story, a story with lots of parts we're all working on. I'm a nerd about how it works, and I've studied it from a lot of angles. As a tutor, I'm all about helping people find their voice...

...from there. Any subject, from Latin to history to math, can be a grueling exercise in rote memorization, but that's not fun for anybody, so that's not how I teach. I try to de-mystify the subject from the outset, starting with acknowledging and building on what students already know - usually more than they think. I've studied a lot of languages (Spanish, Latin, French, Turkish, Attic Greek, Ancient Hebrew, and, of course, English) and I've...

...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...

...it comes 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...

...students a number of tools to develop their literary craft, and I have helped students increase their reading comprehension by introducing them to a multitude of written works. I enjoy tutoring high school and college students, especially after teaching freshman English and working in the writing center as a graduate assistant at Middle Tennessee State University. My particular areas of expertise are assisting students with writing projects at any stage of the writing process, including...

I have a Bachelor's degree from East Tennessee State University in History and Secondary Education. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree at Columbia University in Social Work. I believe all students can learn; mastering concepts is just a matter of time, effort, and the right instructor.

...at a science museum, and have tutored students in Latin all throughout high school. I will be a peer writing tutor at Middlebury in the fall. I have a passion for the humanities (especially writing) and languages, and I hope to share that with my students. Despite struggling with math and science throughout middle and high school, I declared my major in neuroscience because of how fascinated and challenged I was by the subject. I...

...B.S. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Eager for tutoring opportunities, I welcome any of you who wishes to undergo SAT/PSAT or ACT Test Preparation that will get you the scores you need for admission to the college of your choice. As for 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...

...of a liberal arts institution, I have gained a passion for teaching from previous my mentors and experiences. Therefore, I would like to use this platform to support young students in their academic goals and endeavors. I have 6+ years of experience tutoring 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...

I've been tutoring formally and informally throughout the past seven years; during that time, I've developed my belief in a "person-first" approach to tutoring. To succeed, you need more than just some academic knowledge -- you need the right mindset and a confidence in your own abilities as well. I try to instill that into my students.
