Award-Winning Latin Tutors in Virginia

...Algebra 1 ( I had never really liked Math, so I can really connect with Mathaphobes). I decided to become certified in Social Studies and English because I enjoy them. I have taught/tutored Latin 5-12 and AP, Sociology, Social Studies/World History, Math, Algebra 1, English and Reading in both public and private schools as well as online. I enjoy my students and everything I teach, but guess I probably like Classics the best. I know...

...tutoring Latin and Greek and am familiar with a variety of textbooks, I am also skilled at preparing students for the SAT and GRE--particularly the reading and writing portions. Although I clearly have a deep passion for my subject matter, I have an even greater passion for student achievement that drives me to work relentlessly to obtain results. Over the past five years, I have acquired essential skills and experiences while teaching in secondary schools...

...with many different types of students, from elementary to college graduates, from students with learning disabilities to those who make straight A's. Having earned a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering (SMU) and a Master's Degree in Biochemistry (CCNY), I specialize in the various math and science subjects.

...these subjects as well. I have been tutoring since I was in graduate school for students of all levels and academic abilities. My first academic love is Latin and the Classics- I really enjoy helping others develop their skills with the language and gain an appreciation for the culture and history of Rome.

...as certification in P-12 Education and TESL. I have a relentless passion for language learning; other than Latin and German, I am teaching myself French and Russian. Foreign Languages can be tough, but it is our greatest bridge to communication and expressions with other cultures, present and past. In my spare time, I love to hike, binge on Netflix documentaries, and Hulu originals. I am also a hobbyist writer of sorts - mostly poetry....

My secondary education teaching experience includes AP European history, AP Psychology, AP US history, government, economics, global history and 9th-grade history for English Language Learners.

I primarily tutor subjects relating to the Humanities, such as Ancient Languages, History, and English Composition. My favorite subject to tutor is Latin, since I regard Latin as the most beautiful and intricate of the human languages. When tutoring I first ask for a copy of the course...

...pleasure in teaching classes, I found the most enjoyment working with students individually. Helping them learn and watching as they gained confidence in their ability made my decision to become a full time tutor an obvious choice. I tutor Latin and Ancient Greek. My approach is socratic: I ask questions to help the student get to the answer. We work through each word, as that is what is necessary to learn for a dead language....

...are not "bad at it", they just have not found the right approach. My job is to help each student master the material at hand by exploring different learning styles and techniques. Though I tutor a variety of subjects including Latin, chemistry, biology, and math, my favorite subject to tutor is organic chemistry. Organic chemistry problem sets have always felt more like logic puzzles than homework. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy scuba diving...
