Award-Winning Latin 2 Tutors

...elementary schools in both Egypt and China. I love teaching languages, including Mandarin Chinese, Spanish and Latin because I believe that knowing a foreign language is important for living in such a diverse world. Knowing multiple languages promotes tolerance for other cultures and is beneficial to almost any field. I am very passionate about school however, I understand that learning a language can be very difficult for some. As a tutor, I try my best...

...Latin and other Classical areas, and I've made it sort of a life's mission of mine to instill the same enthusiasm in my students about the ancient world as I have. I firmly believe that learning Latin is as valuable for one's development as a student and a scholar as Math or English Literature. I also understand that learning it, especially at the introductory levels, can occasionally be rather intimidating. I try to make myself...

...and the journey of thinking. My obsession is philosophy, which as a kind of over-arching discipline concerning the knowledge of what is, disperses me into many of the various subjects within which the joy of thinking can inhabit. I am excited to work with students and learn from them and see the ways in which their thinking can develop, as well as help them acquire the skills to succeed in their courses. In my free...

...TEFL certficate and tutoring and teaching there for the duration of my visa; when I returned to Philadelphia, I started working as a classroom ESL teacher for Kaplan International. Maybe because of these experiences, my favorite subjects to help with tend to be those most involved with language - Latin, Spanish, Reading/Writing skills - as well as Psychology, a more recent passion. I'm also happy to assist students with math for test prep like the...

...4. For example, I made a children's book of the Aeneid, which helps students remember important events and dates through visuals and poetry. Since I've grown up in a family of ten, I've had the opportunity to teach Latin to my younger siblings, ages 10 and 12, doing things like calling our dog "canis" as a way of helping them learn. In French, I've created visual devices to help students distinguish between specific grammatical constructions...

...a high school English teacher, currently working primarily with 10th grade students. I have previously worked at middle and elementary schools as well. I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2016 with a B.A. in English and Theatre. I then got my M.S.Ed from Northwestern. I have worked with children of all ages in various capacities, including teaching, and I find that the best way for students to learn is to have fun and...

...in Classics. My academic background includes a large amount of reading, analysis, and writing, which are suited to the SAT preparation. I especially love teaching Latin; over the past four years I have helped students master grammar and translation, while transferring my enthusiasm for the language and literature itself. I work very hard to make sure that my students make progress! In order to make this happen, I will tailor my approach to a subject...

...My personal goal in both tutoring and teaching is to impart my passion for these wonderful languages to the student. I would have never gone on to this career path were it not for the same passion of my Latin and Greek teachers and professors. I want to convey that learning these languages can open up a whole new world of literature and culture, and enrich one's life in many new ways. Outside of work,...

...something is a wonderful feeling. Helping people learn, especially a subject that I am passionate about, is incredibly rewarding. When I tutored children at a Montessori school, I found that I was a very effective tutor, helping the children to better understand a variety of subjects from math to Latin. The key to good tutoring is explaining a concept in as many different ways as possible. Usually the student has already been taught the subject...

...tutoring high school and college students in Algebra, Latin, French, and Spanish. While I love all of the subjects that I tutor, I particularly enjoy tutoring Spanish and French because they open doors to communicating with and understanding so many people, both near and far! I have traveled to Peru and hope to travel more in the future. I strongly believe that anyone can learn anything, as long as enough time and effort are given....
