...where I studied English and Ancient Latin, my passion for education is strongly tied to my commitment to social service. Despite my formal studies in the humanities, tutoring math is my greatest pleasure.

For language study I follow the usual method of most classicists, focus on syntax and clause structure--in particular I find that understanding the clause structure of any language, ancient or modern, analytic or synthetic, is crucial in intuitively understanding the meaning of a sentence. In history I try to help students understand the "historical method" as easily as...

Dr. King was the first teacher in my career as a student who saw as me not a behavior problem, but a bored kid with a high IQ and a chaotic home life. Dr. King had my IQ tested, then set about making...

...Master's in Classics (Greek and Latin languages and literature) at Oxford University, where I received a Clarendon Scholarship for my Master's.

This has allowed students I've worked with to feel comfortable opening up about their interests and frustrations with me so that I can make a subject more relevant to them and create more motivation to learn. I always try to gear the way I teach to...
