Award-Winning Latin Tutors
serving Tampa, FL

An applied mathematics degree and a computer science master's give Daniel an unusual toolkit for Latin — he approaches grammar the way a programmer approaches syntax, where every case ending and conjugation follows strict rules that either compile correctly or produce a visible error. That debugging mindset turns translation exercises into logic puzzles, making it easier for students to spot why a sentence breaks down and how to fix it. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying theology and Medieval Studies at Fordham meant Vivian spent years reading Latin as it was actually used — in liturgical texts, scholastic philosophy, and the medieval manuscripts that defined Western intellectual life for centuries. Her Classics minor deepened that into formal grammar training, so she teaches declensions, conjugations, and syntax with the kind of firsthand textual familiarity that makes the language feel purposeful rather than abstract. Rated 5.0 by students.

Leslie's Classics degree means Latin isn't a side subject — it's the core of her academic training. She teaches declensions, conjugations, and sentence structure by connecting them to the real texts students will eventually read, from Caesar's commentaries to Vergil's hexameter. Rated 4.9 by students, she brings the kind of fluency that makes tricky constructions like ablative absolutes and indirect discourse click.

I'm a Chemistry major at Dickinson College. I have more than 3 years of tutoring experience and I'm excited to work with you on anything you're struggling with.

I'm eighteen years old, and I'm about to start my freshman year as a Musical Theatre major at Oklahoma City University. After being born in Colombia and living here in the United States, I've become completely fluent in both Spanish and English, which has helped me quite a bit in finding different ways to help my students solve problems and overcome issues. As a recent high school graduate, I understand how teenagers feel about school and studying, and it's easy for me to relate to that. It's comforting for teenagers to work with someone who knows what it's like to be a high school student, so it's easier for me to connect with them. In my free time I enjoy playing music, singing, watching films, and reading a good book.

I am hoping to put forth my knowledge and academic expertise in the variety of areas I am comfortable to do so, but with particular focus on one area that remains a crucial point upon which our education system rest: standardized testing. I am a recent veteran of the rather arduous journey most students take through myriad tests, upon which their success and failure is determined. I have intimate experience and knowledge with the AP, IB, SAT, and GRE tests, and have spent time tutoring in the area of the SAT, as well as staying abreast of changes in testing protocol and procedure for those tests which I listed above, prior to my time here.

I am looking forward to being your tutor! I am a strong believer in helping and teaching others in any way that I can, and at the same time making the world a better place. My mission is to help you succeed and achieve your goals one session at a time.

I am doing research as an intern at the Centers for Disease Control. I have always had a great love for learning and teaching has become a natural extension of that. I worked for the University of Florida Athletic Association tutoring student-athletes in Advanced Sociological Theory. This was a challenging experience as I had to make very dense, academic readings accessible to students and help them communicate ideas through writing. I have also tutored high school students for the SAT and ACT. In my spare time, I like to play guitar and follow my favorite sports teams. I can teach many subjects including math, science, social science, history, Latin, and Spanish to name a few. I like to not only help students get better grades but also develop the critical thinking skills that are the foundation for many subjects and disciplines.

Having studied all four levels of Latin alongside a rigorous applied mathematics curriculum at Notre Dame, Hyun brings a problem-solver's instinct to the language — treating each sentence like an equation where case endings, tense markers, and syntactic relationships all have to balance. He's particularly good at walking students through the transition from memorizing paradigm charts to actually applying them in translation, where recognizing an ablative or subjunctive in context matters far more than reciting forms from memory.

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.

Studying political science at Penn means Alessia regularly encounters Latin in its natural habitat — legal maxims, constitutional terminology, and the Roman political vocabulary that still shapes how we talk about governance today. She teaches Latin 1 through 4 and uses that real-world context to anchor grammar lessons, so students learning subjunctive mood or indirect statement constructions can see exactly where those forms show up outside a textbook. Rated 5.0 by students.

Psychology's technical vocabulary is packed with Latin — terms like "affect," "stimulus," "ego," and "corpus callosum" all come straight from the language, and Aneri's neuroscience coursework at Cornell means she hits these roots constantly. She teaches Latin 1 and 2 with a knack for turning conjugation and declension patterns into something systematic, drawing on the same analytical rigor that earned her a 1520 SAT. Her SAT Subject Test preparation in Latin adds direct experience with the kind of grammar and reading comprehension the language demands.

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.

Sarah's liberal arts training across music, theology, and world religions means she's spent years reading texts where Latin isn't just a classroom subject — it's the language sacred music, liturgical history, and philosophical ethics were written in. That lived context makes teaching declensions and conjugations stick, because every grammar concept connects to real hymns, prayers, and historical documents students can actually engage with. Rated 4.8 by students.

Biomedical sciences coursework means Sam encounters Latin daily — anatomical nomenclature, pharmacological terms, and disease classifications all trace directly back to the language's vocabulary and word-formation rules. That constant exposure to Latin roots and prefixes in a scientific context gives him a practical angle on teaching vocabulary acquisition, while his SAT verbal preparation (1530 composite) sharpened the grammatical parsing skills that make declensions and sentence structure click.

Studying all four levels of Latin while pursuing a history degree at Dartmouth means Vivian reads the language where it actually lived — in the political speeches, legal codes, and historiographical texts that shaped the ancient world. She brings that context into every lesson, so students learning subjunctive mood or fourth-declension nouns can see those structures doing real work in passages by Caesar or Cicero rather than in disconnected grammar exercises.

Zachary's PhD work at Harvard sits squarely at the intersection of German philosophy and classics, meaning he reads Latin not as a classroom exercise but as a daily tool for engaging with primary texts in their original language. He teaches all four levels and is especially sharp on the grammatical precision needed for dense philosophical and literary passages — ablative constructions, purpose clauses, and the kinds of nested relative clauses that make students' eyes glaze over until someone unpacks the logic holding them together.

Having studied Latin through all four levels and prepped for the SAT Subject Test in it, Mahalia knows the language well enough to walk students through everything from first-declension nouns to sight-reading passages of original text. Her creative writing background gives her a sharp ear for how sentences are built — a skill that translates directly to parsing Latin word order, identifying clause boundaries, and making sense of authors who bury their main verbs three lines deep. Rated 5.0 by students.

An English degree and a Master's in Acting mean Joseph has spent years dissecting language from the inside — scanning meter, breaking down rhetoric, and performing texts where every word's Latin origin carries weight. He brings that same close-reading instinct to Latin grammar, treating each sentence as a script to be decoded through its cases, tenses, and clause structure. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.
