"I'm Jessica, a former teacher and current college academic advisor with a Masters in Latin and Classical Humanities and a Bachelors in Classical Latin! I have several years of experience teaching high school in addition to experience tutoring college and high school students in both Latin and Ancient Greek.
Since starting Latin in high school, I have a developed a love for the language and for the Ancient World. I believe that everyone is capable of learning the language and strive to approach tutoring in a way to make material accessible to the individual student. I adapt my approach to teaching to meet student's needs. I'm comfortable with both the traditional grammar-translation approach to the Latin language and am well versed in active learning methodologies. I find that a mixture of both elements is often the most practical and effective way to tutor and meet a student's needs.
Additionally, I strongly believe that education and the approach to it needs to be engaging, fun, and relevant- otherwise there's little incentive for one to truly learn the material! i have found that when students find relevance and connection to their own lives, it often is one of the most rewarding aspects of tutoring for them.
Feel free to contact me with questions or to set up an appointment and I will respond as quickly as possible. I try to be flexible with time and locations, but online is always another option." less...
