"Latin Students and Parents of Latin Students: Let me help! I am a Latin teacher with a B.A. in Latin and an M.A. in the Classics; with 15 years in the high school classroom, 13 years teaching vocabulary enhancement using Latin roots and affixes, and several years tutoring in my home and online. My specialty lies in helping Latin I and II students organize and conquer 100's of endings. I have most of the textbooks used in the Latin classroom and a variety of practice materials that the student can view and use on the video-chat platform. We also practice a strategy for translation that works, right through Julius Caesar.

If you or your student wants to be a more vocabulary-savvy reader, I can provide an extensive list of Latin roots and affixes that give us 65% of our English language. We work on exercises to reinforce meanings and we read excerpts from literature where the student learns how to decipher the new word using Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes. This can be especially helpful in preparing for entrance exams containing many challenging reading selections." less...
