"With over fourteen years experience teaching Latin, my passion for the material and my students’ growth drive my work. I hold two degrees in this field: a Master of Arts in Latin and Classical Humanities from UMass Boston and a Bachelor of Arts in Ancient Greek and Latin from Boston University. These degrees reflect not only my knowledge of the language but also understanding of ancient Mediterranean civilizations.

Over the years, I have taught Latin in a variety of settings – ranging from middle school classrooms and advanced high school courses to personalized tutoring sessions for post-secondary school learners preparing for law school. Since the fall of 2019, I have taught Latin at The Park School in Brookline, Massachusetts, where I designed engaging and differentiated lessons for students in grades five through eight. Before this role, I spent nearly a decade teaching Latin to high school students at Boston Preparatory Charter Public School in Boston, Massachusetts, where my students learned advanced Latin syntax and read the works of Cicero, Caesar, Virgil. My teaching emphasizes joy, clarity, and accessibility for all learners. From a scaffolded, rigorous course of study, my students internalize grammatical paradigms for the language, develop study skills for assessments, and gain an appreciation for the artistry of ancient Roman authors.

In tutoring, I draw upon my extensive classroom experience to diagnose each child’s learning needs and tailor a curriculum, which reinforces the individual’s strengths and prior knowledge, remediates skill deficits, and aligns tutoring sessions to the classroom teacher’s expectations. Through these tutoring sessions, I aim not only for my students to succeed academically and grow in confidence with the material.

If you are looking for a dedicated Latin tutor, who combines deep expertise with proven teaching strategies, I would be thrilled to support your academic journey!" less...
