Award-Winning Latin Tutors in Pflugerville, TX

...My areas of specialization involve 4 years of college French, 2 of Latin, 1 of Russian, and a semester of Attic Greek. Also, in the sciences I have expertise in anatomy and physiology and biology. The language experience also informs my knowledge of history - which is by far my favorite subject; history combines languages, economics, culture, and narratives. Essay writing and editing come easily for me: my knowledge of grammar, syntax, and essay structure...

...and passion. As a former teacher, I have had much experience critiquing, editing, and improving on the work of others. I have also gained much experience in professionalism, management, and bureaucracy such as deadlines, and reports. My ability to motivate others and foster meaningful personal interactions is uncanny. My background in history gives me knowledge of trends in society and culture as well as writing experience. My classical education provides me an understanding of the...

A great teacher must “go beyond the lesson,” so to speak, to ensure that his or her students have a reason to retain what they learn. Any literate person can read the information in a textbook, but it takes a special kind of person—-one with a passion for teaching and the desire to teach beyond the words on the page—-to have a truly positive effect on students. I have always tried to make my classes...

...group settings, and even abroad. I went to a private liberal arts school for my undergraduate degree, where I learned the value of a well-rounded, dynamic educational approach which I bring to all of my studies and teaching. I have taught and researched in a range of areas but for the last three years, my particular focus has been on Classics, Archaeology and Foreign Languages at the University of Texas at Austin as a graduate...

...professor of philosophy. My academic interests range from medieval Scholasticism to contemporary issues in bioethics and law. I believe that tutoring is not only about the transfer of knowledge between the tutor and the student, but also a transfer of skills, which would help the student learn how to find the answer himself or herself and to solve whatever academic problems come his or her way. Equally, important is demonstrating the real-world application of what...

Although I spend my days teaching in a classroom, I love moonlighting at a tutor because of the individualized attention that my students receive. I bring several years of classroom experience to the table, as well as a teaching credential from the University of Oxford and a BA from Northwestern University. While my classroom experience is in English/reading and history, my tutoring experience has been in everything from math to foreign languages. ... In short, I believe that education should be made as enjoyable as possible!

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a degree in English as well.In spite of my English background, I do a lot of math and physics tutoring. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.

...York and California and four years doing graduate work in the Classics at USC, three of which were spent teaching Latin and Ancient Greek to undergraduates while enrolled. While I can teach other subjects, the majority of my work comes in Latin and other Classical areas, and I've made it sort of a life's mission of mine to instill the same enthusiasm in my students about the ancient world as I have. I firmly believe...

I attended Princeton University, attaining an A.B. degree, majoring in English, minoring in theater and achieving proficiency in Latin. For the past several years, I have tutored extensively, working with students from many different countries and age groups. I tutor writing, literature, the college essay, PSAT, SAT (writing and critical reading), Latin, public speaking and European history. When tutoring, my goal is always to listen to my student. I look for a student's specific learning...

...I think this flexibility and dedication to making school work as easy as possible for my students is my strongest attribute as a tutor. I am available to work up to thirty hours per week. Friday through Sunday I would generally be free to tutor at any time; on Mondays, I am available during the day, and on Wednesdays, I am available from mid-afternoon (starting around three) through the evening. I am usually not available...
