I studied for a Bachelor of Arts in Classics at McGill University, with a minor concentration in History. I then received a Master of Arts in Latin Language & Literature from Fordham University and a Master of Philosophy in Classics & Ancient History from the University of Bristol. I have over 10 years of teaching experience, having taught at the university level and, most recently, at the middle school level. I have taught all levels of Latin, classical literature in translation, and test prep for middle schoolers. I have tutored students in Latin from ages 10 to 20, and can also tutor students in test prep and English. My style of tutoring is responsive to students' needs, and I believe in the value of practice and repetition. In my spare time, I enjoy curling and playing guitar.

I am a retired computer professional with a degree in philosophy. My interest in ancient philosophy led to my study of Greek and Latin as an undergrad. Also my philosophy degree required logic. Since college I have had two hobbies, Latin and Logic. I have a passion for both these subjects and look forward to tutoring you in them.I was invited to teach logic as an undergrad and I have spent 35 years on and off working on a side project, an Introductory Latin textbook.Latin:First a quick overview.I specialize in the Cambridge Latin Course and Wheelock's Latin.I have been working with the Cambridge series for over 35 years, and Wheelock for over 15.I can assist in all translations derived from these texts.I teach classical pronunciation as outlined in Wheelock.The reason why I use two different courses?The separate courses are inherently complimentary. The first three units of the Cambridge course are artificial Latin designed to develop vocabulary and working sense of the language, but not derived directly from classical Latin passages. Further it is not rigorous in grammar although grammatical topics are mentioned and used in Latin to English translation exercises. Wheelock, on the other hand, concentrates on passages of ancient authors and is classically focused. It concentrates on grammatical paradigms. Although early passages are adapted for the student, more direct passages of classical Latin are covered over the length of the course.Logic:Confused about logic systems? I can help!I tutor modern symbolic logic, limited to propositional / statement / sentential logic (these names are equivalent).Classical Aristotelian, and symbolic single and multiple predicate logic are not included.Modern logic is still new in that various authors tend to do things differently, all to the same end but these differences can be confusing. I have worked extensively with these different systems.I can help make something like this:{[(p & q) v r] & [~p v (~q & r)]}make sense. (Your text may have different connective symbols, but I've worked with the various notations).*** If you think I can help? ***The remainder of this profile is technical in nature. It goes into detail on what specifically I tutor. Reading further only makes sense if you, or a student you are helping, are studying non conversational, classical Latin or propositional / statement / sentential symbolic logic.Latin is described first, logic second. Find the topic you are interested in and read what is pertinent to you. The details are extensive and are, for example, useless to the Latin student if reading the logic section, or useless to the logic student if reading the Latin section. Though lengthy, the descriptions are general in nature and list things that are often areas of difficulty for a student. However this is not an exhaustive list. If several of the items are pertinent to a student I can help them.I am looking forward to working with you if you find that I meet your tutoring needs.***** LATIN ******The Wheelock Latin Course provides an overview of each chapter in the text itself and requires no summary.Cambridge Latin Course:I am an expert in Units I, II, and IIIA, (the first half of Unit III) .I can assist in all translations derived from the texts.Grammar:I can help clarify and teach the grammar and underlying linguistic concepts for Units I, II, IIIAThe following IS an exhaustive list of what I tutor by chapter in Unit I. The student should recognize what is giving them trouble while they follow the text. If you are not clear on the grammar, I reference the chapter numbers from the text in the description.Unit I: (by chapter)1. The order of 'est' sentences and simple declarative sentences.2. Nominative and accusative cases. Subject and direct object. Verbs in present tense, indicative mood, all in the singular.3. 1st and 2nd declension nominative and accusative (gender not discussed).4. 1st and 2nd person pronouns, 1st and 2nd person verbs, singular, indicative, present. (conjugations not identified). Introduction of question words 'quis?', 'quid?', 'ubi?', 'cu'r?'.5. Plural nominative nouns and plural indicative present verbs.6. Verbs in the imperfect and perfect tense, singular and plural.7. How verb form indicates person and number without a subject. Other common forms of the perfect tense. Use of 'num' for questions expecting negative responses.8. Accusative plural. Review of 1st, 2nd and 3rd declensions nominative and accusative, singular and plural. Introduction to superlatives.9. Introduction of the dative case as used in indirect objects. Forms of the dative, singular and plural, of the first three declensions. Form of 'I' and 'you' (singular) pronouns in the nominative, accusative and dative cases.10. Forms of 'we' and 'you' (plural) pronouns in the nominative case. Complete present tense of 'sum'. Comparatives. Use of '-ne' to ask questions.11. Further examples of the dative case. Introduction of dative forms of the pronouns 'we' and 'you' (plural). Review of question forms.12. Imperfect and perfect tenses in sentences with 'I', 'you' (sing. and pl.) and 'we'. Imperfect conjugation of 'sum': 'eram', 'eras', 'erat', etc.If you made it this far, these are the grammatical concepts I teach in Unit I.I have the same degree of familiarity with Units II and IIIA.***** Logic *****If you have any of the following questions, I can help:Concepts:What is logic? What is 'truth'? What is syntax? What is semantics? What is a 'premise'? What is a 'conclusion'? What is an artificial language? What is a truth function? What is a logical connective? What is validity? What is the difference between a valid argument and a sound argument?What is trivial validity? What is a logical truth? What is a logical falsehood? What is meant by consistency and inconsistency? What is a theorem of logic? What is a metatheorem? What is use / mention?What are logical connectives and how are they interpreted?Logical connectives :First a side note: if your text looks different from the examples below, here is the reason why. This is for clarity and may be skipped over...( The examples below use arrow notation for the conditional and biconditional, '->' for AND, and '~' for NOT. Horse shoe, triple bar and inverse wedge can not be reproduced in this profile. Copi dot notation for AND and Quine notation for AND are relatively uncommon and are not used in the examples. One of several negation notations was chosen due to its frequent use.)monadic:negation: ~p (NOT p)dyadic:disjunction: p v q (p OR q)conjunction: p & q (p AND q)material conditional:p -> q (IF p, THEN q)biconditional:p q (p IF AND ONLY IF q)What is formalization?Formalization:How to translate from a natural language into an artificial language in propositional logic. What is an atomic statement (proposition / sentence). Depending on a given textbook propositions are also called statements or sentences ( statement logic, sentential logic)Formalization symbols differ depending on text. I am versed in several symbolic methods.As stated before, I can help make something like this:{[(p & q) v r] & [~p v (~q & r)]}make sense. Your text may have different connective symbols, but I've worked with the various notations.Truth tables:What is the main connective? What is a subordinate connective? How to construct a truth table. How to interpret a truth table for logical truth, logical falsehood, consistency, equivalency and validity.Truth trees:Again, different textbooks construct trees differently. These variations are slight but annoying.What is a semantic interpretation? How to construct truth trees. How to decompose a logical connective to a branching or non branching tree extension. How to determine when a branch closes. What is the significance of an open tree? What is the significance of a closed tree? How to check for consistency, equivalence, logical truth, logical falsehood. How to test for a valid argument from a set of statements. What is a logical theorem?Deductions:Depending on your text these may be called derivations or proofs. I have worked with five deductive systems (it seems like every textbook does things differently, but to the same end) and I can truly help in this area.What is simplification? What is addition? What is modus ponens? What is modus tollens, hypothetical syllogism, disjunctive syllogism, constructive dilemma, destructive dilemma. What are replacement rules? What are assumption rules? What is reiteration? What is indirect proof (reductio ad absurdum)?I can answer all these questions.I can help with different strategies and methods for completing deductions.Finally, you are likely to have to work with elementary set theory, (if not, your text is incomplete), and I can help you in this area also.

At both my undergraduate and graduate institutions, almost all of my homework consisted of reading texts or writing papers. Therefore I have continuously enhanced my English composition skills. I know how to read and analyze texts quickly without losing content. Reworking information I've read together with my own thoughts is now second nature to me. I make my writing particularly clear by my impeccable understanding of English grammar, which I gained through extensive practice and from studying four other languages (French, German, Latin, Ancient Greek).

I am a life-long learner with a love for education, tutoring, and mentoring. I believe that each person is unique, which means that his or her method of learning is also unique. I find it very fulfilling helping others to find that method and to excel in whatever field they are pursuing. My personal fields of interest are languages (Spanish, Italian, Classical Latin and Greek), the humanities (Literature, Writing, History) and philosophy.

I attend the University of Houston majoring in Biomedical Engineering. Every exam taken at UH was administered through the CASA facilities; for every test there were CASA Tutoring Sessions where I volunteered for every exam in all my classes and absolutely love it! Although I did help students that were in my science classes (BIO and CHEM), I would say my strongest subject is Mathematics, particularly Calculus. I have taken Calculus - Calculus 3 and will be continuing my Math enrichment with Differential Equations this fall semester.There's no bigger pleasure than seeing a pupil exceed in a subject he or she is struggling with. And it would be my pleasure to fully dedicate my time to anybody needing help with Mathematics and Foreign Languages. I have kept all my Calculus notes, workbooks, and textbooks, as well as many French and Spanish vocabulary workbooks ready to open and study! Please feel free to ask absolutely anything. I am looking forward to teaching everybody who is ready to learn!

I graduated from the University of Miami with a dual degree in Political Science and Philosophy with minors in Spanish and Criminology. After five years working in political consulting and government affairs, I am studying to attend law school. I have experience tutoring second grade through high school, as well as undergraduate students on a variety of subjects. As a tutor, I am patient, friendly, and I go above and beyond to accommodate for each students' individual learning style.

Hi there! If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that I genuinely enjoy tutoring. I'm also a "professional" student. I say this because absorbing, analyzing, and integrating knowledge from my medical courses are necessary skills for my own academic success. And so, I am more than happy to share my study strategies, techniques, and tips with students.My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring Latin. Believe me when I say it's a beautiful language! During my pursuit of an M.D. degree, I have acquired a minor of Psychology, which has taught me to help others with a holistic approach.

I am a Spaniard born with chalk dust in my veins! My passion for the teaching profession led me to complete my Doctor of Education degree: ESL. I am a lifelong learner who enjoys experiencing new cultures around the world. My background in linguistics and the Latin language has greatly enriched the way I approach the teaching of second or foreign languages. At risk of falling into clich, I consider Theodore Roosevelt's words to be the benchmark for great educators: "They do not care how much you know until they know how much you care."

I am 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 engage them.

I am a graduate of Seton Hall University where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies with a second major in Theology. I am currently enrolled in an MA/PhD program in Philosophy at The Catholic University of America. Since sophomore year of high school, I have tutored students in Latin and Italian and more recently also in helping students prepare for the SAT and GRE. In my senior year of college, I was appointed as the Classical Studies Department tutor for Latin. One of the things I enjoy most about tutoring students in Latin and Italian is helping them build a stronger foundation in their native English language as well as in the foreign language. Over the course of my years as a tutor, I have seen my students expand their vocabulary and rhetorical skills in English through their study of foreign and classical language. I firmly believe that by grasping the roots of language, students will set themselves apart as writers, not only for standardized tests and in college, but throughout life. During my time off from school I enjoy gardening, fishing, cooking, and when I have the chance, traveling throughout the world.
