"I am a fluent speaker of the Latin language with 18 years teaching experience. In 2008 I founded my own Latin and Ancient Greek tutoring company, and since 2015 I've had a team of tutors working under me. In my time as head of the company I've developed highly effective Latin and Ancient Greek courses, written a full-color, illustrated Conversational Latin textbook, and assembled a comprehensive collection of Latin grammar resources.

I have a B.A. Honors in Latin (magna cum laude) from Gonzaga University, with a minor in Art. Immediately following my graduation I completed an Ancient Greek course at UC Berkeley (equivalent to the first two to three years of a standard university Greek course).

My approach to all languages is basically the same, a dual focus on grammar and conversation. The awful truth is that most students who study a language never end up learning it because of poor curriculum and/or teaching. Most ancient language curriculum (Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, etc.) neglects conversation, while most modern language curriculum (Spanish, English, French, etc.) fails to teach the student the basic structure and logic of the language.

My teaching style is rigorous and comprehensive, with consistent drilling of endings, forms, and rules of grammar, all in the context of a logical and highly structured course. Since (unlike most Latin teachers) I am a fluent speaker of the language, I integrate Latin conversation into my teaching as well. Moving Latin into the oral sphere improves students' understanding of the language and greatly expands their Latin vocabulary.

Though my specialty is Latin and Greek, I have decades of experience tutoring many other subjects as well, including Spanish, English, History, Science, and Math (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Precalculus).

When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy ballroom dancing, creating autobiographical comics, and writing short fiction and novels.
