I hope to instill a love and excitement for whatever subject I am tutoring with my students by tailoring each lesson plan to his/her specific learning style and personal...

...page in living color more than two thousand years later. In my spare time I enjoy cross country running, and I am currently ripping insatiably through Donna Tartt's newest novel, The Goldfinch. I am also an unexpected video game nut -- I tend to favor the old classics, such as Super Mario and Mega Man X, but I've been known to dabble in such Xbox gems as Gears of War and Rayman Legends.

...Massachusetts. I study Computer Science and Drama, but while I'm not coding or acting I participate in loads of other activities including multiple sports, book clubs, board games, and more. I come from a family of educators (both my parents are teachers and I have uncles who have been deans and presidents of universities), and I love teaching and helping people learn as much as I can because I'm a lover of learning myself. I...

Students can tell that I am passionate about Latin (or whatever I’m teaching), and some of my enthusiasm rubs off on them.

...& 2, geometry, pre-calculus, and ACT math. I have tutored several individuals in these subjects and have been told that my service has greatly improved their grades. I like to take a calm approach and utilize the person's strengths and learning abilities to derive a teaching method that will suit each individual. I also use simple tricks and memorizing techniques that the teachers may not use to help remember how to solve the problem. I...

...make sure that if a student feels overwhelmed with new material, we take the time to go through each new concept thoroughly until the student feels confident and ready to move on. When tests and finals are on the way, I guide the note-taking and course review process and afterwards, we review the test and reinforce areas that still need work. My scheduling is very flexible and I am generally available weekdays at any time...

...I have since been involved in other pursuits, but the passion for educating and mentoring students has never left me. I also tutor elementary Spanish and elementary math, and bring the same energy and expertise to those subjects. To me, there is nothing like seeing a student’s eyes light up when they finally “get it”. I am patient, helpful, and upbeat in my approach to teaching, and I hope I can help you!

...veteran Latin student, with 7 years and 2 APs under my belt, and tutor Latin levels 1 and 2. Finally, I teach all subjects of the SAT and the ISEE standardized tests. I find learning by doing to be very effective; while I will always challenge a student to grow in each session, I also strive to create a supportive environment that encourages asking questions and making mistakes. I find that a good sign a...

...quickly absorbed by this link to the ancient world. After studying Latin for over ten years I began helping people with their own journey into this fascinating subject. I began teaching Latin upon graduating from Loyola Marymount University. Throughout my time I have taught and tutored several students who were preparing for school exams or looking to invest additional time into their Latin studies. While emphasizing a student's strengths I hope to motivate them to...

...to instill the same enthusiasm in my students about the ancient world as I have. I firmly believe that learning Latin is as valuable for one's development as a student and a scholar as Math or English Literature. I also understand that learning it, especially at the introductory levels, can occasionally be rather intimidating. I try to make myself as relaxed, fun, and seemingly approachable while I am teaching/tutoring as I can to lessen the...
