I started teaching full-time (World History and Latin) and decided to branch out and became certified to teach Math and Algebra 1 ( I had never really liked Math, so I can really connect with Mathaphobes).

While I specialize in 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.

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 student.

...range from a picture of a mouth with lipstick, "la bouche," to a movie theater with a top hat, "le cinma." I am also well experienced in how to properly approach timed writings as well as essay writing.

My role involves using my expertise to put the necessary resources in the hands of the students or more likely to be sure that my students are well equipped to find and evaluate the resources they need to answer their questions. Just like IBM, I want to help develop my...

...thinking is one of the best tools anyone can have in any field of study. I love teaching and tutoring Latin because to master Latin is to master English; also, the Romans were a pretty wild bunch, and reading about such huge personalities and their accomplishments is a treat unlike any other. I'm a real movie buff, with about 600 DVDs in my home library. I love cooking, all genres of music, and hiking; also,...

...positions I helped students improve their grades in their classes (both high school and college), deepen their understanding of Latin and Classical history, further explore Latin outside of the classroom, and complete an online Latin course.

I love helping students discover that learning Latin is actually the most fun they could be having at...
