"I'm currently an editor for a company that publishes Latin and Greek pedagogical texts; however, I love working with students and continue to offer tutoring in Latin and classical Greek to people of all ages!

I received my MAT in Latin and Classical Humanities from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and my BA in Classical Civilizations from the University of Michigan. My experience includes eight years as a classical languages, writing, and literature tutor, teaching students ranging from middle schoolers to doctoral candidates. Further, I have taught Latin at St. Norbert School in the Chicago area, in addition to serving as a beginning and intermediate Latin instructor at UMass during my masters program. While I love helping students with any language-related subject (in fact, I truly enjoy analyzing English grammar!), I am most passionate about teaching Latin. I find it extremely gratifying when my students realize that a so-called "dead" language can actually be relevant to their lives! When tutoring Latin, I like to focus on using various strategies to help students "read with expectations, " meaning that students engage in linear reading (reading left-to-right, without skipping around), and approach texts with a notion of what makes a sentence complete. More generally, as a tutor, I am very patient and flexible, always keeping a student's goals and motivations in mind when planning and teaching lessons.

In addition to tutoring Latin and Greek, I also help students brainstorm, edit, and proofread essays and term papers. I am well-versed in MLA, APA, and Chicago style and citation conventions." less...
