Daniel K. - Latin Tutor - $35.00/hr.
Grade 7-12; Beginner or Intermediate College My GPA at Ohio University was 3.9 in Latin Major. I have 18 years of Experience as a Certified Secondary Instructor in the State of Ohio. I have taught as many as four H.S. Levels of Latin. My classes have focused significantly on vocabulary, grammar, translation and sentence structures. Nor have my classes been without segments on Classical History, Classical Mythology, and Classical influences in art, architecture, science and our legal system. Special attention has always been devoted to broadening English vocabulary. As a tutor, one must discern the issues of the individual student and devise a plan of action to develop and strengthen the skills necessary for academic success. There is firm belief in the idea that experience is the best teacher, and my techniques involve practice and repetition as a method to build and strenthen a fo

Donald H. - Latin Tutor - $30.00/hr.
For a six month period I worked in tandem with a highly proficient Latin instructor who had 14 students achieve Magna Cum Laude in Latin one year. As my language choice in high school, my studies in Latin have assisted in my achieving superior skills in English usage and expression and facilitated my learning French and Spanish. On my first visit to Italy, I found that I was able to comprehend a good part of Italian conversation. In my teaching, I make every effort to engage the attention of my students. While covering the subject at hand, I bring into my lessons references to a spectrum of other subjects when relevant such as historical context, cultural elements, literary allusions, modern and historical implications and facts and trivia relating to the subject which I believe will not only be of interest to the student but will also provide a more rounded appreciation of the benefits

Amelia G. - Latin Tutor - $45.00/hr.
As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must

Charlotte B. - Latin Tutor - $35.00/hr.
12 years of Latin experience, 4 years of teaching/tutoring experience, BA in Classics from the University of Michigan, MA in Classics from the University of Chicago, currently an advanced PhD student in Classics at the University of Chicago. I believe in tailoring my teaching to the needs, unique interests, and learning style of the individual students. This is one of the reasons why I find tutoring to be particularly rewarding, since this targeted, individualized style of teaching is much more feasible in a one-on-one environment than in a classroom with twenty students. I like to combine my presentation of the Latin language with discussion of ancient history and the building blocks of languages so that my students have a cultural context for the language they are learning and come away with a better understanding of the structure and history of their own language as well.

Emelie I. - Latin Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I am a Latin teacher who tries to make every part of the language accessible to all students. I teach grades 7 through 12. I have taught AP courses, advanced ancient history courses, as well as classes such as Latin I, II, III, etc. Working one-on-one, I help students to identify problem areas and focus our attention there. I also can help come up with good strategies to memorize vocabulary or understand complex grammatical structures. I like to make Latin something fun that sticks with you, rather than dull and boring. I've spent a lot of time in Rome studying and can explain a lot about the history, archaeology, and culture behind readings and vocabulary.

Vernon W. - Latin Tutor - $30.00/hr.
had Latin I and II in high school, all A's, still remember some of Caesar's "De Bello Gallico" in Latin (and English); won 2 first places in each of 2 Texas state Latin contests in high school, won 2 first places in National Latin contest in high school My teaching style is based loosely on that of my major college math professer (and head of the department), which was originated at the University of Texas by his thesis advisor and another colleague. It is basically the Socratic method as applied to teaching mathematics, to try to draw the student out and get him or her to think on their own. I am for understanding, not regurgitating a bunch of facts, which anyone can mindlessly do. The object is to be able to think and analyze on your own. I have over 30 years of experience in the oil industry, initially in quality control, but quickly promoted to programmer after writing some progra

Stephen G. - Latin Tutor - $16.50/hr.
I have an MAT degree and have taught Latin I, II, and III for 25 years. I will gladly work with the Cambridge or Ecce Romani textbook series or with my own materials which incorporate the best of both of these. The goal of my instruction is reading knowledge of Latin as opposed to the memorization of a grammar that does not apply to English. The stories I use to teach reading classical Latin center around the everyday lives of Roman families and their slaves, not military and political events.
This is the vocabulary of everyday Roman life that has passed its roots into English, and so this is the Latin that should be learned in order to enhance one's English vocabulary. Additionally, the everyday lives of the Romans were far more strange and interesting than anything that occurred on their battlefields or on the floor of their Senate. The emphases of this course are adventure and wonde

William F. - Latin Tutor - $22.50/hr.
In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically.
Subjects Tutored:
Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry. I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosophy. I

Amelia A. - Latin Tutor - $35.00/hr.
After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry. Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.

Rachel J. - Latin Tutor - $47.50/hr.
Q: We've been studying Spanish/French at home for the past year. Would we really benefit that much more from a class environment?
A: Absolutely! Language cannot be truly learned in a vacuum. Language is dynamic, and so should be learned and practiced continuously in an interactive environment.
Most people say their main goal in learning a foreign language is to be able to speak it. That is why we use the power of the internet, weekly phone conversation practice, and in-class discussions to constantly improve our students' ear for the language, pronunciation, listening, and speaking abilities.
Grammar is also taught in a complementary fashion to the English grammar learned in other classes. So, students benefit from a greater understanding of their first language in the process of learning a second.
Without real-time interaction with fellow learners, speaking correction, p
