Award-Winning Latin 4 Tutors

...New York in February of 2018. I have tutored for 8+ years with students ranging in age from 10 to 70. I tutor a vast array of topics from English, Latin and French to Calculus and high school level test prep; although, I prefer physics and Mathematics as those are my passions. I like to help the student learn the subject their self, and I often employ non-traditional manners of teaching using other ways of...

...for each of my students. As both a classroom teacher and a tutor, I have gained invaluable experience about how to help students, all the while learning so much about life from my students themselves. Besides tutoring, I make my living writing content professionally for several ed tech companies. Outside of work, I love to hike and play with my dog. I am a huge traveler and am very thankful to have a career that...

...both my professional and personal life. Currently, I am working as a freelance writer, editor, and assistant to a scholar at the University of Washington who works on education policy. As an undergraduate, I was involved with a student organization that tutored students at a local K-8 school who were struggling with reading and writing. My student was thirteen years old, and most of the resources for his reading level were aimed at students much...

...and Latin. I received an award for being the highest ranking student in Greek and Latin Literature in my college's classics department. I am a former member of the American Classical League and have attended some of their national conferences and seminars on the teaching of Latin. I also have experience creating educational materials for intermediate students of Latin online for a website that publishes full length texts in foreign languages and uses editors to...

...the learning style of the student. I like to emphasize an empowering approach to tutoring. It is not enough for the student simply to be presented with information about language, whether English or Latin. Most students benefit more from assistance in approaching the material and through the development of study skills such as learning the material in different ways or recognizing the root of the confusion. Therefore, I believe that a tutor should guide the...

I am a Columbia University graduate who majored in Political Science, Classics and History. I have also spent the last year as an English teacher in Connecticut. I am available to tutor in New York City and the Stamford, CT area or online.

...to do my part to allow that to happen. Whether students are looking for revision, assistance, or clarification, I am eager to help them achieve their goals. I have a Bachelor and Masters degree in Latin and Greek, and have been tutoring individuals in those languages, as well as writing, history, and literature, for four years. I love learning, love teaching, and want to spread the joy that I have found through education.

...I worked one-on-one with students in English and math and discovered my love of teaching. While I tutor 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. Regardless of subject, I help...

...Mythology Exam. Whether in the sciences or humanities, my students benefit from my unique blend of experience. My varied education, with degrees in both Biochemistry and Classical Studies and advanced study in a number of fields in between, gives me the flexibility to adapt to each student and the power to supplement a student's education with perspectives from other fields. My experience in leadership development, as president of my residential college, also allows me to...

...particular needs of the student. One must quickly diagnose the main areas the student needs to improve, so as not to waste time. A great tutor can see outside the box and be flexible enough to explain the same concept in a variety of ways, depending on the needs of the student. A tutor must be more personable with the student than a classroom teacher, who to a certain degree, must hide behind a teaching...

...He grew up just north of Seattle after spending the first two years of his life in Washington, D.C., and plans to split his time between New York and Seattle in upcoming summers. Dylan discovered his passion for mentoring on the lacrosse field in high school while helping to run summer youth lacrosse camps, and became involved in academic tutoring through his high school soon after. He believes that common foundations of learning exist across...

...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 to the specific needs of each student. In...

...and tutor for students of all ages, from primary school to adult learners. As a Peace Corps volunteer, I taught English as a foreign language to Ukrainian students in grades two through seven. I have also tutored students in primary school and high school in introductory Latin and led a tutorial for college students in introductory Attic Greek. I taught extra-curricular remedial courses in composition and reading comprehension for grades six through eight and was...

...Master's. I really love my subject -- including both the systematic study of classical languages and the fascinating cultures into which these languages offer a window. So, as a tutor, I look forward to sharing with my students both my passion and my expertise. In addition, I am an avid reader and rigorously trained writer, and can offer tutoring in English (including the verbal sections of the SATs, the SAT II, and the AP exams),...

...science, specializing in ancient philosophy and political theory. I also hold graduate degrees from Harvard University and the Pacific School of Religion. For the last 18 years, I have worked full-time as a fundraising officer, event planner, and program manager in the field of real estate and urban development. In 2016, I was commissioned into ministry with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). My commission includes occasional preaching and community ministry. In my spare time,...

...and I knew I wanted to work with young people, but I had to thrash around for years trying other disciplines before I could see the obvious. I was a perpetual student for a long time, directionless and underperforming because I had no goals. Once I got in front of a classroom, though, I felt Id come home; it was only when I knew I was a teacher that I found focus as a student.

...benchmarks of achievement, they may be of more value anyway. Compassion and patience, with recourse to humor, are certainly invaluable for a tutor. I have always been able to do well in academic settings and test-taking. Much of this success derives from long-hours devoted to assignments and preparation, but no small part owes to the way my mind learns. My mind is suited to books and the classroom, and this is a convenience for which...

...focus is on general chemistry (at the high school or college level) and organic chemistry, both of which were always personal favorites. Even more importantly, in my pursuit of the sciences and humanities I have not just mastered two different types of content; rather, I’ve mastered two different ways of thinking. Because I understand both the way a strong humanities student might think and the way a strong science student might think, I’m able to...

I have been a Latin teacher for twenty years teaching all levels of Latin including Advanced Placement and collegiate Latin at multiple schools and universities. I am now living my dream of completing law school, and the content knowledge and study habits I developed in high school and college helped me on my journey, and I'd love to help you on yours. ... My teaching philosophy centers on taking seemingly difficult subjects and breaking concepts down...

...I also know that with patience and diligence every learner can approach and read great writers like Vergil and Ovid. In addition to language classes, I have also taught a number of literature classes, including " Greek and Roman Classics in Translation" and "Literature and Film". Essays play a large part in all my literature classes. I assigned, guided and graded hundreds of student essays in the past four years and as a result I...
