I have over twelve years' experience tutoring Latin and Greek and have substituted in the Cambridge Public Schools at all levels and subjects for seventeen years.

I have taught Latin at the British School of Boston, the Uphams Corner Charter School, the MIT AP preparation program and the Boston and Cambridge Centers for Adult Education. I have over twelve years' experience tutoring Latin and Greek and have substituted in the Cambridge Public Schools at all levels and subjects for seventeen years. I received my Bachelors from Harvard University in the History of Science Department, where I specialized in the history of logic in Greece, India and China. I think that it is very important for a student to know why an adult would study Latin, so I try to give every student an idea of the lasting sense of value that can be gained from this subject.

A Wonderful Educator and a Great Role Model

A wonderful, patient, and steadfast tutor. Always responsible, responsive, punctual, caring. He is very knowledgeable, organized, and with a engaging approach towards Latin. He has occasionally helped my middle-school daughter with other subjects when she needed it and he has proved versatile and successful. Chris is a wonderful tutor and a very nice person who has served as an inspiring role model for my children through the years that we have been working together.

Knowledgeable and kind teacher

My 11 years old loves his class. Christopher might look like a strict teacher but he is very kind and patient. He also gives homework every week but just so my son has something to review. Highly recommended.

Excellent, kind tutor

Chris is a gem. He quickly ascertained my daughter’s deficiencies in Latin and explains things in a way she understands, with tips and tricks. My daughter is comfortable with him and feels he is very helpful.

A Productive Lesson

My daughter told me that she learned more during the lesson than she learned from her school. Our goal is for her to take AP Latin test. Christopher seemed to be confident to help her reach the goal.

Helpful Latin class: Cicero's letters

Christopher taught me Latin. Christopher helped me in grammar and also helped me to understand the letters of Cicero, which are all written in Latin. Christopher knows how to explain things in ways that actually help me to comprehend Latin. I had a very pleasant environment with Christopher because he is a very polite and helpful.

Chris R's magic

Chris R has had an astounding effect upon my 15 year old son over the past six months. In addition to making Latin more comprehensible, his tutoring has changed my son's attitude toward studying the language . Formerly, my son drudgingly completed the required work each day. Now he enjoys the challenge of studying Latin (which was the original reason why he decided to take the class). As a result, my son has elected to take a third year of Latin. As a bonus, Chris has also stimulated my son's budding interest in linguistics. Needless to say, we will use Chris's services again next year.
