My favorite subjects to tutor include writing and editing, whether we're working on a research paper, a college application essay, or reviewing grammar; public speaking; SAT prep; and study skills and organization, because each of these areas boosts overall academic success and builds a student's self-confidence.

...in a variety of subjects, my favorite is Latin. I love everything about Latin, from its structured grammar to its beautiful poetry, but my favorite moments are when a student recognizes the root of an English word and realizes how a language thousands of years old still relates to their life today.
