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.

Writing tutor and Grammar instruction

I have more than twenty years experience in tutoring and teaching writing and grammar at both the college and high school levels. I am also a Latin and Chess tutor with many years experience in these subjects. I believe the best way to tutor is with patience, care and directness. I am clear, precise and challenging and can engage a group or one to one.

More About This Tutor...

I just graduated from PLU with a degree in Business, a concentration in human resources, and a minor in psychology. I maintained a high GPA throughout my college experience and graduated with honors. I have very good study skills and am very organized. I took a variety of classes and excelled in writing papers and test preparation. I have never tutored children but have given children riding lessons and have helped 4-H children learn horsemanship skills. I consider myself very patient and a good teacher. When they don't understand something I work hard to try to explain it in a different way. I have also corrected and given feedback on fellow college student’s papers and assignments.
I love helping and teaching children. I have given riding lessons to all ages of children for years, realizing there is no better feeling than helping children accomplish their goals. I would love to h ... read more
