Georgetown Law's curriculum is steeped in Latin legal maxims — *stare decisis*, *habeas corpus*, *res judicata* — and George has been working with the language itself since well before law school, studying through Latin 4. That depth means he can teach everything from first-year noun declensions to ...

A Stanford Classics honors graduate, Sawyer reads Latin the way it was meant to be read — as a living system of grammar, rhetoric, and cultural context, not just declension tables to memorize.

June
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +59 Subjects
I'm an electrical engineering major at Brown University with interests in neuroscience, linguistics, and robotics, among other things. I've always loved learning, and my curiosity has led me through numerous subject areas. I constantly seek to apply my classroom learning in practical situations. For example, I have conducted research on dementia using electrophysiology in a mollusk model. I participate in hackathons and robotics challenges that test not only my programming ability but also my hardware skills as a tinkerer. My engineering pursuits require a strong foundation in mathematics, my interest in the life sciences calls for a myriad of memorization techniques, and my participation in the academic world at large reminds me daily of the importance of sharp writing skills. I hope to share some of these things, both content and technique, with my students. Though I will make sure that they can come away from each session armed with the skills needed to take on the modern education system, I also hope that they will take with them some appreciation for learning itself.

I am comfortable tutoring a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about writing and language, and I truly believe that strong writing skills are an asset in every area of life. Through my experience as an after-school program manager, I learned to build relationships and work well with students, parents, and teachers to meet student goals. In response to the pandemic, I quickly learned ways to adapt my educational youth work to a virtual setting. My social work background helps me connect with students on a personal and social-emotional level, which lays a trusting foundation for real growth and learning.

"BYE TO AI" DISCLAIMER: At a time when so many tutors use AI to create lesson plans, conduct research, and even grade students' work, I must disclaim that I do not and will not use AI in our work together. The humanities are fundamentally, well, human, and AI has no place here. Hi! I'm Sophia, a writer, editor, tutor, and voice teacher. I graduated Vanderbilt University with my Bachelor's in History, a second major in Voice, a concentration in Musicology, and a minor in Italian. I'm currently pursuing my Master's. I have extensive experience with academic writing and am also an award-winning creative writer. If you need help editing an essay, college personal statement, or writing of any kind, I'm here! I tutor middle school through collegiate humanities (think ELA and History), as well as Voice and musical academics (Musicology, Music Theory, Solfege, Conducting, etc.) for students of all ages.
Carolyn
PSAT Writing Skills Tutor • +107 Subjects
I believe that all learning begins with curiosity; if a first little spark of interest can be kindled, understanding will soon follow. During my time spent serving as a volunteer tutor during both my high school and undergraduate years, I was able to help many students increase their knowledge of History, English Literature, and Grammar. Additionally, I was also able to help others gain the skill sets necessary for accomplished essay writing and SAT Verbal Test Preparation. My goal is to always guide the student towards a deeper comprehension of the subject matter, with development of the corresponding techniques and sense of confidence necessary for success.
Stacy Kathryn
English Grammar and Syntax Tutor • +19 Subjects
I believe that a solid education is a gateway to making informed decisions throughout life, and I am passionate about helping students access that. For the past 11 years, I've had the pleasure of working with students of all agesfrom as young as 3 to over 50both online and in classrooms, as a tutor and teacher. My experiences span across diverse subjects and learning environments, which has equipped me with the ability to adapt my teaching to the individual needs of each student. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Global Studies: Global Security from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a Master's degree in Human Rights and Multi-Level Governance from the University of Padova. In addition, I have earned a variety of certificates related to my fields of interest. My academic background is interdisciplinary, drawing from political science, sociology, history, anthropology, and human rights law. I tutor a wide range of subjects, including English (in many forms such as EFL), art history, political science, social sciences, Latin American history, and writing. Two of my favorite areas to teach are EFL and history. I enjoy teaching EFL because language learning can open doors to new opportunities and cultural understanding, while history and political science are deeply connected to my career in human rights advocacy. I also have a passion for art history, having studied painting and drawing in college for three years. My teaching philosophy centers on being flexible and adaptive to the needs of my students. I believe in meeting them where they are, understanding their individual learning styles, and adjusting my approach accordingly. Whether it's through structured lessons or creative problem-solving, my goal is always to help students gain confidence and become independent learners. Outside of academia, I am involved in human rights advocacy and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking. I also love knitting, which gives me time to unwind and be creative.

Throughout this time, I accumulated years of experience helping fellow students in a wide range of languages, including English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German. Today, I continue to offer tutoring services in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, with a particular enthusiasm for Cellular Biology and Genetics. After graduating, I aspire to purse a career in clincal cancer genomics. Outside the academic realm, I enjoy traveling and exploring new cultures, which continually broadens my perspective and enriches my life experiences. I look forward to helping students achieve their own academic aspirations and career goals. Together, we can navigate the challenges of your coursework and build a strong foundation for your future success.

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am a freshman at Yale University, hailing originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way.

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.
