Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Xenia, OH

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

Teaching children and adults is my life's work. I believe not only can all children learn but I believe all children can excel, if given the motivation and inspiration. I also believe that if children learn to love learning, they will excel in all that they strive to achieve. I believe in making learning relevant and interesting. I am adaptable in my style and approach in education. Due to the fact that our children are all unique, I believe their educators should develop, within their own styles, an approach that is unique for each of their students. I hold high expectations for each of my students but all of my expectations are attainable for the student and I help them to achieve those expectations in excellence. I have always worked well with children because I enjoy their capacity to learn. I am drawn to students who feel they are incapable of excelling in subject areas in wh

My teaching style focuses on collaboration with the student, ensuring that knowledge is recieved organically, and not forcibly. Having been a student myself, I understand the importance of appealing to a child's sensibilities and multiple intelligences; not every child learns in the same way. As such, I am committed to incorporating a variety of methods (such as visual, auditory and written) to reinforce the concepts as simply as possible. I subscribe to the idea that, in order for children to reach their potential, they must be challenged to strive. I am a graduate of Walnut Hills High School, finishing in the top 3 percent in my class, and was a recipient of the Yale University Award for Outstanding Intellect and Character. I received my Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Cincinnati in 2002, obtaining a degree in Biochemistry. I have previous tutoring experi

I hold a Ph.D. in Classics, a multidisciplinary field that focuses on all aspects of the ancient Greek and Roman world. I have mastered Latin and Ancient Greek, and can read Spanish, German, French, and Italian. During my five years working full-time at various universities, I taught literature, history, mythology, archeology, and all levels of Greek and Latin. My expertise in English grammar, and in reading, writing, and organizational skills, is evident in the book and article that I have published. Math, moreover, was always a strong point for me, and I am very good at helping elementary school students in that area. My competence in such a wide range of subjects makes me an excellent candidate for many tutoring assignments. Recently, I tutored a 2nd grader in Reading and Math, an 8th grader in English, Latin, and Study Skills, and a 10th grader in Latin. I am presently assisti

Having graduated with a BS in Mathematics I am now continuing my passion for learning while pursuing a masters degree in Nurse Anesthesia. My liberal arts degree from Hillsdale College has given me extensive work in all areas of learning. In the past eight years I have taught music theory and piano lessons, tutored Junior High School - University students in Mathematics and English, and instructed Halfway House residents in Mathematics, English, and Sciences in pursuit of obtaining a GED. I have always been passionate about working with different students and finding their unique learning strategies. I am supportive and very patient, but persistent in the achieving success for the student. My ultimate goal is above teaching subjects. It is to provide the student with a love for learning and the skills needed in tackling academic tasks.
