...Western Europe and North America. My favorite destinations are Spanish-speaking places where I can enjoy the richness and beauty of the food, culture, people and language--- Mexico, Guatemala, Spain, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. When tutoring a client, I believe it is important to understand his or her background, learning style and specific goals. We all learn differently and at different paces. I tailor my lessons accordingly, so that together we can be successful.

...on topics pertaining to educational policies in Pittsburgh and Classical education. Since 2011, I have been tutoring languages in the Pittsburgh area. I have had success with youngsters struggling with Latin grammatical concepts, or learning disabilities. My teaching philosophy is if I can help a student excel, I will. Sometimes a student only needs to be pointed in the right direction, others need intensive help. My spare time is dedicated to writing fiction, short stories,...

...dedication is not just the responsibility of the student, but of language teachers as well. As a teacher I am committed to making connections with students in a fun, positive way that fosters not just an appreciation for the language but a solid understanding of language fundamentals, such as grammar.

...clinical psychologist. I feel teaching will be a more fulfilling career for me; I am planning to be a high school/middle school math teacher. During high school, I tutored Latin and have tutored Math during high school and college. The best tutors tailor their lessons to the learning styles of their students. I enjoy finding accessible and creative approaches to simplify complex concepts for my students. My favorite pastime is Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art.

...well as Roman poetry. My favorite authors are Catullus, Vergil, Seneca (his tragedies, not his philosophy), and Livy. My approach to both tutoring and teaching is to equip my students with the necessary tools to figure out grammar on their own. I am very patient, empathetic, and thorough, and I believe that a friendly and calm environment is best for tutoring. So that the student can express any confusion or difficulties she or he may...

...them build a stronger foundation in their native English language as well as in the foreign language. Over the course of my years as a tutor, I have seen my students expand their vocabulary and rhetorical skills in English through their study of foreign and classical language. I firmly believe that by grasping the roots of language, students will set themselves apart as writers, not only for standardized tests and in college, but throughout life....

...hope to continue my education and eventually become a professor of Classics with a focus on ancient religion and art during the Archaic period. I enjoy all of the subjects that I tutor, but I am most passionate about Latin, Writing, Spanish, and History.

...striving to improve. I try to foster a passion for a subject that many students find difficult. I show students that there is a purpose and an enjoyment to be found in learning a subject that has been studied for hundreds of years across the world. I want to help students learn that even after hundreds of years, Latin is still a language that has an importance and utility in our modern society.... I want to help students learn that Latin isn't this old, scary subject. I want to help them learn that there is a utility that can be found even today. By helping students learn the language of philosophers, historians, and kings they can get a new insight into the civilizations that came before us.

I grew up in Belgium before moving to Los Angeles in 2010, and now I live in New York. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Bioethics and Natural Sciences and recently was accepted to medical school. I am a native French and Dutch speaker (don't worry - my English is good, too!) but I also love studying and teaching sciences, including physics, general and organic chemistry, biology, as well as math and Latin.
