Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Liberty, NC

As the child of a school system administrative professional, I have always spent extra time in the school environment. As a high school freshman I began to tutor elementary school students based on the needs highlighted by their teachers. I spent a lot of time working one on one with English as a secound language students. I assisted with their writting, reading, and basic math skills. Additionally I work particularly well with withdrawn children who need special attention. My teaching style is simple. As it has not been professionally nurtured I have taken my ques from those I have taught. It is simply to provide what is needed. I prefer to spend time with a student and learn what works for them. I believe trial of multiple styles to find success is critical to each student. Additionally, there is nothing wrong with having fun while you learn!

Teaching is more than passing on information. It is a dynamic process of inspiring a love for learning and equipping students with the tools to learn successfully. It is important to provide students with structure, engaging activities and lessons, and opportunities to integrate and synthesize that which they are learning into 'real-life' experiences. Also, I know each student learns differently, thus I am prepared to vary my approach to meet the needs of each student. I am confident in each student's ability to learn and be successful, and I am committed to achieving those goals. Successfully earning both my Bachelor's and my Master's, Magna cum Laude, from reputable universities only dimly begins to communicate my passion for learning and for teaching. Further, my experience has developed competencies in oral and written communication, social sciences and humanities, religion and

As a Peer Tutor of Greek and Latin at UNC Asheville from 2008-2010, I led weekly tutoring sessions for groups of students in introductory and intermediate Greek and Latin. While I developed my own understanding of Greek, Latin and English grammar during this appointment, I gained an even greater understanding of the way different students learn and the means necessary to drive them to success. During my undergraduate career, I also pursued a variety of independent opportunities to help other develop their reading and writing skills. I hope to instill in my students a sense of individual responsibility by treating them with a shared level of mutual respect and trust. It inspires me to see students learn inductively, not through repeated lecturing, allowing them to develop the skills necessary to succeed outside of the classroom. I believe that anyone can learn what they wish with the pro

I enjoy working with children of all age ranges, and it is my personal goal to make learning a difficult subject less of a chore. I believe that having extra help can make a world of difference in academic success and increase the overall confidence and attitude in a child, as I am very aware myself, having had math tutors when I was in high school. My ambition as a tutor is to give your child the same enjoyment that I experienced in learning Chemistry and English. I am patient and dedicated and I strive for excellence—in my tutoring style I am open and willing to use different approaches to teach if needed. I ask questions and also try to tutor with a similar style to the student's teacher, which can be a critical tool during test taking. Being a student at UNC Chapel Hill has challenged and inspired me to think creatively and achieve excellence in all areas of academia. As a senior at

I am expert in the simple,but effective explanation of Latin grammar and the creation of learning experiences that create learning. I have also used computer tech to supplement more traditional teaching method. I can save a willing student hours of frustration by properly orienting them and showing the steps that learning and applying Latin will require. I have been teaching Latin actively without interruption since 1978. I have been teaching in public high school for 19 years and have continued to tutor throughout this time. I have continued to produce students who consistently score 700+ on SAT II in Latin.My students are now studying Latin at all the major colleges in this state. I have repeatedly worked with students of college age and even adult learners.

I loved ancient history since middle school, but never in my dreams did I think I would learn Classical Greek and Latin. Luckily, I found that opportunity and learned both languages in three out of the four years of college. I decided during my fourth year that I wanted to become a teacher, but I needed experience, and I wanted to concentrate on Latin instead of Greek. I may not have taught a class yet, but graduate school is preparing me with education classes and more Latin translation, not to mention new experiences as a tutor for the Learning Assistance Center. I believe, in my role as an expert, that I must provide support and modeling for my students. I will lend the scaffolding needed by using extra resources, such as books, handouts, or examples, until the students successfully progress without my guiding. I am a passionate, patient, and understanding expert adult who can gi
