Award-Winning Latin Tutors
serving St. Paul, MN

As a Classics major at Carleton who aspires to teach high school Latin full-time, Emma has spent years immersed in the language — not just grammar drills, but reading original texts alongside Ancient Greek and the historical contexts that bring both languages to life. She covers all four levels plus AP Latin, and her weekly tutoring at a nearby high school means she's constantly refining how she explains everything from first-year noun declensions to the subjunctive constructions that trip up advanced students.

Danny's music education background puts him in constant contact with Latin — choral repertoire from Renaissance masses to sacred motets is written in it, and understanding the text means understanding the grammar underneath. He teaches Latin 1 through 3 with a focus on how verb forms and noun cases shape meaning in real passages, not just fill-in-the-blank exercises. His 1450 SAT composite reflects the kind of close-reading precision that carries over into translating Latin prose.

While Latin isn't Courtney's primary language, her background in Spanish gives her a strong grasp of Romance language roots, declension patterns, and how Latin vocabulary threads through English and modern languages. She approaches Latin grammar as a logic puzzle — parsing cases, conjugations, and sentence structure methodically so translations start to click rather than feel like guesswork.

Audrey's degree in Classical, Ancient Mediterranean, and Near Eastern Studies means Latin wasn't a side course — it was central to her academic work, from reading original texts to understanding the linguistic structures that connect ancient Mediterranean cultures. She teaches all three levels and brings particular clarity to tricky concepts like subjunctive mood and indirect statement, where knowing the historical context behind a passage often makes the grammar fall into place. Rated 4.9 by students.

Physics training builds a habit of reading equations as sentences — every symbol has a role, every operation has a reason — and Cory applies that same structural decoding to Latin grammar, where case endings and verb forms function like variables in a well-defined system. He's not a classicist, but his 4.9 rating across dozens of subjects reflects someone who can break any rule-driven discipline into logical, learnable steps, which is exactly what first- and second-year Latin students need when declension tables start to blur together.

Sarah's liberal arts training across music, theology, and world religions means she's spent years reading texts where Latin isn't just a classroom subject — it's the language sacred music, liturgical history, and philosophical ethics were written in. That lived context makes teaching declensions and conjugations stick, because every grammar concept connects to real hymns, prayers, and historical documents students can actually engage with. Rated 4.8 by students.

While Latin isn't Zarrin's primary teaching area, her philosophy coursework at Mount Holyoke involved engaging with classical texts and the grammatical logic that underpins them. She applies a systematic, analytical approach to declensions, conjugations, and sentence parsing that appeals to students who think structurally about language.

Philosophy and Latin are deeply entangled — Adam's degree means he's spent years encountering Latin terminology, logical structures, and the classical texts where Western philosophical traditions actually originated. He teaches Latin 1 through 3 with a focus on how grammatical concepts like subjunctive mood and indirect discourse carry philosophical nuance, so students learn to read with precision rather than just decode words. His background in Greek reinforces that classical-languages fluency.

Studying Classics alongside Physics at Vanderbilt means Dylan reads Latin daily as part of his actual degree work — not as a side interest but as a core discipline. That dual training sharpens his ability to teach grammar as a logical system, walking students through subjunctive constructions, indirect statements, and the kinds of prose passages where precision with every case ending matters.

Paula's psychology and communication studies background means she's constantly bumping into Latin roots — in clinical terminology, rhetorical frameworks, and the academic vocabulary that underpins both fields. She leans on that familiarity to make vocabulary acquisition and grammatical patterns feel connected to words students already use, turning declension drills into something closer to code-breaking. Rated 4.8 by students.

Psychology's technical vocabulary is packed with Latin — terms like "affect," "stimulus," "ego," and "corpus callosum" all come straight from the language, and Aneri's neuroscience coursework at Cornell means she hits these roots constantly. She teaches Latin 1 and 2 with a knack for turning conjugation and declension patterns into something systematic, drawing on the same analytical rigor that earned her a 1520 SAT. Her SAT Subject Test preparation in Latin adds direct experience with the kind of grammar and reading comprehension the language demands.

Few students realize how much Latin overlaps with engineering thinking — every sentence is a system of interlocking parts where case endings, verb forms, and clause boundaries have to be identified and assembled in the right order. June studied Latin through four levels and prepared for the SAT Subject Test in it, giving her fluency with everything from basic noun declensions to reading original texts. Her electrical engineering training at Brown reinforces the same methodical, structure-first approach that makes complex translations manageable.

Alyna's Classics degree from Brown means Latin wasn't a side requirement — it was central to her undergraduate work, from reading original texts to understanding the grammatical architecture that holds complex prose together. She teaches Latin 1 and 2 with particular attention to how vocabulary and syntax carry over into English, making declension patterns and verb forms feel less like abstract memorization and more like unlocking a system students already half-know.

Antony holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Classics, which means years of sustained reading in Latin prose and verse — not just a semester or two of grammar drills. That depth shows when he teaches syntax: he can walk a student through a dense periodic sentence from Cicero and explain exactly why the subjunctive appears where it does, connecting grammatical rules to how Roman authors actually wrote. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having studied Latin intensively through advanced levels at Yale, Malina treats the language as a system of interlocking patterns rather than a list of endings to memorize. She digs into how ablative absolutes, indirect discourse, and subjunctive clauses actually function in passages from Caesar, Virgil, and Cicero — so students learn to read Latin, not just decode it.

A college English professor with dual degrees in the field, Toni knows how deeply Latin roots and grammatical structures run through the English language — every lesson on cases, conjugations, or syntax doubles as a window into why English works the way it does. She teaches Latin as a discovery process, encouraging students to piece together translations by recognizing patterns rather than relying on word-for-word lookup. Her 4.9 rating speaks to how well that active, student-driven approach lands.
