“Dare to Learn”
Personalized tutoring and lessons in Ancient Greek, Latin, and Ancient History.
Individual tutoring and bespoke online lessons for students of all ages. I have over ten years of experience teaching all areas of the Classics at some of the top educational institutions in the United States, Canada, and Scotland at the primary, secondary, and undergraduate level. Whatever your level or learning objectives, I will work with you to achieve your goals!
Teaching Philosophy
Sharing my passion for classical languages, history, and culture with adolescents while helping them grow into responsible, engaged, and empowered young adults has been the most rewarding work I have ever done.
Believing that students must feel confident and supported in order for any learning to occur, my primary objective in every class I teach is to establish a trusting and positive environment in which students of all backgrounds and abilities can feel at ease. While maintaining high standards of accountability among my students in terms of preparedness and effort, I also make sure that students in my classroom can feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, or proposing new ideas and interpretations. In this way, the classroom becomes cooperative and student-led, rather than teacher-focused, empowering students to take responsibility for their own educational experience.
Curricula and Textbooks
I have experience with a variety of textbooks, including Wheelock, Cambridge Latin, Ludus, Oulton, Shelmerdine, Alpha to Omega, JACT, as well as CE, AP, NLE, IB, GCSE, and A-Level curricula. I can tailor introductory or reading-level tutoring and coursework to suit any level.
