Latin is one of my top subjects! Can teach introduction and intermediate Latin: translation, vocabulary, and grammar. I have taught extensively from Wheelock's Latin and used this text as a student, as well as, used it to teach middle school, high school, and college students.

My teaching style is real. It's genuine. College students walk away from my classes saying, "Thanks for keeping it real." I have no pretenses as I view the learning process as a crucial humans exchange between two or more people. I'm very egalitarian in my approach, being open to learn from my students.

I have tutored my own children (e.g. Latin, Art, Guitar) and middle and high school students in their homes and/or at my home. I have taught hundreds of college courses and thousands of students.

My teaching style can be described as an open and honest outward expression of my own personality mixed with careful consideration of the particular needs of my students. This means that I’ll almost certainly never be one to conform to mundane and pre-scripted presentation of facts and analyses. How I teach will always involve a unique blend of my own personality and current experience, those of my students, and the material being covered. I believe that a collaborative and friendly environment makes learning fun and that fun learning equals successful learning.
