 Latin is one of my top subjects!Latin was, in effect, my gateway to the larger world of Classical Study. As I'd always been somewhat curious about the language I availed myself of the opportunity to take a class in college, and thence fell head over heels for Latin, Greek, the Classics, and philology and history more generally. Latin truly was, to quote the well-known modern epic, my first step into a larger world.
I've accordingly spent some years studying the language, both on my own as part of one university curriculum or another. For the past year I've even been fortunate enough to find a number of opportunities to provide tutoring in this decidedly rarified subject, and for my part I hope that I can continue to do so. If no longer the lingua franca that it was in Dark Age and Mediaeval Europe, nor even the language of modern scholarship, by my lights Latin remains no less worthy an object of study; so long as interest in the language persists, I wil be only too happy to foster the same.
After a somewhat round-about tour of its course catalog, in 2008 I graduated from the University of Idaho with a Bachelors degree in Classical Studies and Anthropology. I subsequently went on to pursue a variety of graduate-level work, and have been some months poised on the edge of the completion of my dissertation. While studying abroad I had the opportunity to participate in the Peer-Assisted Learning initiative at the University of Reading, under the auspices of which I provided undergraduate students with supplementary help and instruction in Latin, and since my return to the United States I've sought to continue the work that, as I discovered overseas, I quite enjoy.
