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.

Studying Spanish, French, and Portuguese at the graduate level has given Mia an unusually sharp eye for how all three Romance languages trace their grammar and vocabulary back to Latin — she knows exactly where a tricky conjugation pattern or case structure resurfaces in its modern descendants. That multilingual perspective turns Latin lessons into something more like detective work, where students trace roots and grammatical logic across languages they may already recognize. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am a student at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I have spent a large portion of my life outside of the United States and am fluent in Spanish and currently studying Arabic as well. I was homeschooled for much of my life and loved it, but completed my last three years of high school in a public school and am thus well acquainted with the various forms of standardized testing. When I'm not studying I like singing and theatre, reading, playing the piano, climbing trees and doing anything outdoors. I have been tutoring Spanish at CMU for a year now, and am also well versed in History, Geography, and Math. I look forward to working with.
I am a writer who works extensively with historical documents and researcher who embraces learning for life. I love making a subject engaging, interesting and ultimately seeing others succeed in their endeavors.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

Frequently Asked Questions
Latin builds a strong foundation for English vocabulary—over 60% of English words have Latin roots—making it invaluable for standardized test performance and academic writing. Beyond vocabulary, Latin develops logical thinking through grammar analysis and opens doors to classical literature, history, and culture. For students in Pittsburgh considering advanced studies in law, medicine, science, or humanities, Latin provides essential linguistic and intellectual tools.
Verb conjugation is one of Latin's biggest hurdles because it requires memorizing patterns across multiple tenses, moods, and voices. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps by breaking conjugations into manageable chunks, using repetition and pattern recognition rather than rote memorization. A tutor can create targeted practice exercises based on your specific weak points and adjust pacing to match your learning style.
Yes—one of the biggest advantages of personalized tutoring is dedicated speaking practice that classroom settings rarely provide. Tutors can guide you through conversational Latin, help with pronunciation, and build confidence in oral expression. While classical Latin isn't a modern spoken language, practicing pronunciation and reading aloud strengthens comprehension and helps you internalize the language's rhythm and structure.
Effective vocabulary retention combines spaced repetition, contextual learning, and active recall—memorizing word lists alone rarely sticks. Tutors use strategies like connecting Latin words to English derivatives, practicing vocabulary within sentences and passages, and building personalized flashcard systems. Regular review sessions spaced over time help move vocabulary from short-term to long-term memory.
Understanding Roman culture transforms Latin from a grammar exercise into a window into ancient civilization, making the language more meaningful and memorable. Context helps explain why certain phrases matter, what references mean in classical texts, and how Romans thought about the world. Tutors often weave cultural and historical background into lessons, helping students appreciate the literature and society behind the language.
Your first session focuses on understanding your current level, learning goals, and specific challenges—whether that's grammar fundamentals, translation, or preparing for AP Latin. Tutors assess what's working and what isn't, then create a personalized plan tailored to your needs. This foundation ensures every future session builds directly on your strengths and targets your weaknesses.
AP Latin requires mastery of grammar, translation accuracy, and deep comprehension of classical texts—areas where personalized instruction makes a significant difference. Tutors develop targeted study plans, provide extensive translation practice with feedback, teach test-taking strategies, and help you build the vocabulary and syntactical knowledge needed for the exam. With focused 1-on-1 support, students can identify and close knowledge gaps before test day.
Look for tutors with strong classical language training, ideally with a background in Latin literature, ancient history, or classical studies. Experience teaching Latin at the high school or AP level is valuable, as is familiarity with different curriculum approaches and translation methods. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have proven expertise in Latin and a track record of helping students succeed.
