Award-Winning Latin 4 Tutors

...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 thinking about topics to help students find them more intuitive. I am a runner, a huge sci-fi fan--I am at comic con every...

...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 allows me...

...We would practice reading comprehension using the sports section of the newspaper, and did short creative writing exercises. I learned a lot about how to get students excited about subjects that at first seem intimidating or frustrating, how to think on my feet, and how to connect with and engage students from different backgrounds than my own. In my free time, I enjoy reading fantasy and science fiction novels, trying out new recipes, swimming, and...

...this subject was nurtured and allowed to thrive because of the extremely solid foundation I received in Latin grammar from one outstanding high school teacher. I hope to emulate his outstanding teaching ability and allow others to succeed the way he allowed me. I've tutored students in Latin and Greek for over 10 years. I received a perfect score on the National Latin Exam and Latin SAT II and am familiar with preparing students for...

...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 student through the material to a point of comfort and understanding. In this way, I...

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...

...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 students develop critical thinking skills and study strategies to gain the confidence they need to succeed. Outside of tutoring, my interests include theatre,...

...tutor. I also try to incorporate my research experience at institutions like the NIH into my tutoring in these areas, using real-world examples from cutting-edge research and scientific communication skills gleaned from poster sessions and academic publications to supplement the teaching experience. Outside the sciences, I also have two years of experience working with a student individually in the humanities. I started with this student in 8th grade; he had no opportunity for formal education...

...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 persona. Lastly, in addition to speaking with the utmost...

...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 many disciplines, and values a specific and flexible approach to any topic to best apply...

...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 my spare time, I do landscape painting in oils...

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 responsible for submitting weekly progress reports to parents and teachers. I have also tutored adult...

...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), and help to brainstorm and edit college essays.... I think...

...of each student as an individual. As an undergraduate at Swarthmore College, I studied philosophy and political 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...

...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 sure the school gave me useful and creative outlets. He turned my life around, keeping me from following in the footsteps of my two brothers. I dont know why it took me...

...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 I am very fortunate. I recognize, however, that every mind learns in its own way---a...

...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 ‘translate’ for students who are strong in one but not the other. I can make...

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...

...and more persuasive. Knowledge of the grammar of another language is a great way to better understand English grammar. An experienced Latin teacher, I have taught both Latin grammar and a seminar on a close reading of Vergil's Aeneid in the original Latin. While teaching Latin, I ensure that the students have a firm grasp of the function of each word in every sentence, whether we are reading stories from the textbook Ecce Romani! or...
