I have been tutoring for around twenty years, and I love working with learners in a one-on-one setting. Though I am first and foremost a Latin language and literature teacher, I have offered English tutoring in person for many years, and I am pleased to be offering it here on Outschool. To know Latin (and particularly, to teach it) is to know English grammar better than one would think possible, and I frequently teach etymology lessons in my Latin classes (I also offer an ongoing etymology class here on Outschool). Though I do teach Latin courses on Outschool, I also worked for years in a private school as a teacher of upper level Latin literature classes, including AP Latin. I have extensive experience in assisting learners in writing and refining analytical essays (in English!). Most of my AP Latin students have gone on to achieve high scores on the exam itself, and my AP learners (as well as some of my upper level Latin literature students) can tell you of how they both loved and feared my red editing pen. I am a huge proponent of helping learners to think, and as such, I am always encouraging them to think of the questions that they need to ask themselves in order to write cogent, eloquent, and well-supported essays and papers. I am also a writer in my non-Outschool life, and have years of experience in many different forms of writing.
