I am not young enough to know everything

You will see from my resume below that I have strong experience in math, science, engineering and computers. It is worth mentioning that I am also skilled in english (5 on my AP World Lit exam) and art (voted most artistic in my senior high school class). I have also tutored at least 4 students in the past, and found it to be a successful and rewarding experience. Katharine P.

Latin is one of my top subjects! 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.
I am an advanced PhD student in Classics at the University of Chicago and have been teaching introductory and intermediate college level Latin courses since 2010. In addition to teaching during the regular school year, I have spent three summers as ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It's my passion to teach, and to teach well. Because when you give something to a student, you must be sure of it. It' s amatter of pride when your student is satisfied with your performance. So, It's a must for a teacher to establish good relation with his class. A teacher has to do everything to make the students very confident. It's for that reason I always do my best to be the best friend for all my students , which has always given success to me.
I study Law in Haiti, my country where I come from. But I taught French more than 22 years. In many secondary schools, I have been appointed by the government . Even though I was appointed Judge in 1999, I was still teaching till 2005 when I left. I master a lot of grammatical skills, and I spent all my time teaching essays to students who had to prepare their baccalaureate examination. I' ve worked more than seven years as a headteac ... read more

Read More About Bernadette K...

As a graduate of Northwestern University with a B.A. in Classics and a parent of an Ivy League graduate, I place a high value on quality education. My experience as an adjunct faculty member of the Pace Program at National-Louis University (a program for learning disabled young adults) assisted and supported my growth as both a teacher and a tutor. During my employment at National-Louis (2004-2008) I was an instructor of life skills, assisted teaching a money management class, and tutored students in academic subjects. The past two years I am teaching home-schooled students introductory New Testament Greek, beginning and second year Latin, and Greek mythology both in my home and a classroom.
Learning happens when students are not only engaged by the teacher and the material presented, but also sees the relevance of the subject matter in their own lives. Learning occurs in classro ... read more
