Award-Winning Latin Tutors
serving Aurora, CO

Paul teaches Latin 1, Latin 2, and AP Latin, and his background across French and multiple classical languages gives him a sharp eye for the comparative grammar patterns that make Latin's inflection system easier to internalize. His 1570 SAT reflects the kind of close, precise reading that Latin translation demands — picking apart how word order, case endings, and subordinate clauses signal meaning in ways English never has to. He grounds each lesson in building fluency with specific constructions rather than rote memorization of paradigm charts.

Alyna's Classics degree from Brown means Latin wasn't a side requirement — it was central to her undergraduate work, from reading original texts to understanding the grammatical architecture that holds complex prose together. She teaches Latin 1 and 2 with particular attention to how vocabulary and syntax carry over into English, making declension patterns and verb forms feel less like abstract memorization and more like unlocking a system students already half-know.

Classics majors don't just dabble in Latin — Rebecca is building her entire undergraduate degree around the language and its literary tradition, covering all four levels plus AP. That depth means she can walk a first-year student through basic conjugation patterns and then, in the next session, tackle the syntactic complexity of reading Vergil or Cicero in the original. Rated 5.0 by students.

Spanning Latin through AP level alongside Spanish, Italian, and German, Jamie brings a polyglot's instinct for how Latin's grammar echoes across the language families it shaped — making case endings and conjugation patterns feel like familiar territory rather than abstract rules. His approach leans on comprehensible input and story-driven immersion, so students absorb vocabulary and syntax through context-rich reading rather than isolated memorization. A Master's in Special Education also means he's skilled at adapting pacing and methods to fit how each learner actually processes new material.

Studying Classics at Yale means Maddie doesn't just translate Latin — she lives inside the language, reading original Roman texts as part of her daily coursework across all four levels and beyond. Her Socratic instinct kicks in during translation work especially: rather than correcting a misidentified subjunctive or misread ablative, she asks targeted questions that lead students to catch the error themselves and internalize the grammar rule behind it.

Charles teaches both Latin 1 and Latin 2 alongside a full slate of English grammar and literature courses, which means he's constantly working at the intersection of Latin's grammatical structures and their echoes in modern English. That dual focus sharpens his ability to walk students through conjugation patterns and case endings by linking them to syntax rules they already use every day. His two years as a high school peer tutor built an instinct for spotting exactly where a translation starts to fall apart.

Antony holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Classics, which means years of sustained reading in Latin prose and verse — not just a semester or two of grammar drills. That depth shows when he teaches syntax: he can walk a student through a dense periodic sentence from Cicero and explain exactly why the subjunctive appears where it does, connecting grammatical rules to how Roman authors actually wrote. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having taught Latin 1 through Latin 4, Cassandra covers everything from first-declension nouns to translating Virgil and Cicero at an advanced level. Her literary training means she doesn't just parse grammar mechanically — she unpacks how word order, meter, and rhetorical figures create meaning in the original text.

Trained in Latin and Italian philology at Palacký University in the Czech Republic, Petra brings a European classical education to a language most American students encounter only through textbooks — she learned Latin as a living system intertwined with Italian, tracing how derivatives and grammatical structures migrated from one language into the other. That dual-language fluency is especially useful for teaching vocabulary roots, verb conjugations, and the way Latin's case system laid the groundwork for Romance language grammar. Rated 4.9 by students.

Skylar took Latin through the graduate level at Johns Hopkins and earned a 5 on the AP Latin exam, so she knows the language from first-declension basics all the way through Vergil and Caesar at an advanced level. She breaks down complex constructions — ablative absolutes, indirect discourse, subjunctive clauses — by connecting grammar to the logic of what a Roman author is actually trying to say. That approach turns translation from guesswork into a skill students can repeat on any unseen passage.

Forgetting about right and wrong answers is where Latin actually starts — William treats translation as an act of interpretation, encouraging students to play with how a sentence's meaning shifts depending on how they read a subjunctive or resolve an ambiguous ablative. His BA in Classical Languages and Literature means he's spent years inside the original texts, not just parsing grammar exercises, and he also reads Ancient Greek, which sharpens his eye for the cross-linguistic patterns that make Latin's structures click. He covers all four levels plus the SAT Subject Test in Latin.

Few students realize how much Latin overlaps with engineering thinking — every sentence is a system of interlocking parts where case endings, verb forms, and clause boundaries have to be identified and assembled in the right order. June studied Latin through four levels and prepared for the SAT Subject Test in it, giving her fluency with everything from basic noun declensions to reading original texts. Her electrical engineering training at Brown reinforces the same methodical, structure-first approach that makes complex translations manageable.

Studying Dante in Bologna under a leading scholar meant David wasn't just translating Italian — he was working backward through the Latin literary tradition that shaped every line of the *Commedia*. That immersion, combined with his coursework in philosophy and European history, gave him a reader's intuition for how Latin syntax builds meaning across long, layered sentences. He covers Latin 1 and 2 and holds a 5.0 rating.
