Award-Winning Latin Tutors
serving Scranton, PA

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.

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.

Psychology textbooks are packed with Latin — from "corpus callosum" to "in vivo" to the diagnostic terminology that runs through every subfield — so Melissa's BS in psychology keeps her bumping into the language's vocabulary and word-formation logic constantly. She uses that clinical and academic vocabulary as a bridge into declension patterns and root analysis, making new grammar feel less abstract and more like decoding terms students will actually encounter. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm also a recent graduate of The New School, with a Bachelor of Arts in Literary Studies.

I am friendly, reliable, and most importantlycommitted to helping you learn! It is my top priority to create a positive learning experience that will help boost your test scores without boring you to tears. After all, shouldn't learning be fun?

I am most passionate about SAT/ACT Reading and Writing, Spanish, History, and ESOL. I enjoy being a tutor because I love to help students strive for and achieve their goals! I believe every student learns in a different way, which is why I personalize my tutoring approach to fit YOUR needs. I am familiar with the SAT and ACT reading and writing sections, and I can help students improve their scores by walking them through practice questions AND giving them my own testing strategies. I know the SAT and ACT can be stressful for students, but I prepare them so that they walk into the testing room feeling confident and ready!

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.

Claudia's classical studies degree means she didn't just take Latin — she lived inside the language across all four levels, reading original texts alongside the art historical sources that rely on Latin inscriptions, dedications, and catalog terminology. Her library science training adds a researcher's instinct for tracking down how words shift meaning across centuries, which makes vocabulary and grammar lessons feel less like rote memorization and more like detective work. 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.

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.

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.

Having completed Penn's post-baccalaureate program in Classical Studies, Michael knows Latin from the inside out — not just declension tables but the way a periodic sentence builds suspense or how subjunctive mood signals a Roman author's uncertainty. He takes students through grammar systematically while always connecting forms back to real passages from Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil so that translation feels purposeful rather than mechanical. Rated 5.0 by students.

Declining nouns and conjugating verbs is just the entry point — Kelsey's BA in Latin means she's spent years reading Virgil, Ovid, and Cicero in the original and understands the grammar at a structural level. She breaks down tricky constructions like ablative absolutes and indirect discourse by connecting them to how Latin authors actually used them, making the language feel purposeful instead of purely mechanical.

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.

Working in Sewanee's writing center gave Wallis a sharp eye for how Latin grammatical structures — particularly case usage and participial constructions — surface in English academic prose, making her explanations feel grounded rather than abstract. She also studied at the European University at St. Petersburg, where reading across languages reinforced the kind of close, syntax-level attention that Latin translation demands. Her Latin 1 and Latin 2 teaching covers foundational declensions through more complex sentence parsing.

Peter's history degree means he's spent years working with primary sources where Latin isn't decorative — it's the language of legal charters, church records, and the political documents that shaped Western civilization. That historical grounding gives him a concrete reason to teach case endings and verb forms: students learn to parse real inscriptions and texts, not just textbook exercises. Rated 4.8 by students.

Having taught Latin across four levels, Joana knows exactly where students stumble — the ablative absolute feels impossible until you see it as a compressed clause, and subjunctive mood clicks once you connect it to specific trigger words. She digs into authors like Vergil and Caesar not just for grammar drills but to show how word order and case endings carry meaning that English translations flatten out.

Between his psychology studies at Yale and his German coursework through level four, Stephen has built the kind of cross-linguistic awareness that makes Latin's grammatical architecture feel less foreign — German's case system in particular maps closely onto Latin's noun declensions. He also prepared for the SAT Subject Test in Latin, which means he's drilled the vocabulary, syntax, and translation speed that classroom exams and standardized assessments both demand.

Physics training builds a habit of reading equations as sentences — every symbol has a role, every operation has a reason — and Cory applies that same structural decoding to Latin grammar, where case endings and verb forms function like variables in a well-defined system. He's not a classicist, but his 4.9 rating across dozens of subjects reflects someone who can break any rule-driven discipline into logical, learnable steps, which is exactly what first- and second-year Latin students need when declension tables start to blur together.
