Learn More About Derek's Experience:

grammar I have been studying ancient language for nearly ten years. I have self taught skills in Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, Old English, French, Spanish, Czech, Italian, Dutch and Japanese. In my three years of employment at New College of Florida, I provided detailed and comprehensible explication of difficult and foreign grammatical, syntactical, accidental, and phonetical concepts. I have long found grammar interesting and have done much of my own research into linguistical studies. I enjoy reading foreign languages and breaking down the apparent grammatical concepts which they employ. As a native speaker of English, I both understand formal grammar and colloquial actualization's. Greek I have been employed at New College of Florida as the teacher's assistant to ancient Greek. I have tutored individuals and small groups in ancient Greek for more than three years. I have graduated with a BA in Classics. As part of the requirements for my graduation, I have completed a senior thesis project. For this project, I translated with an introduction and running commentary the fifth century BCE Athenian comedy by the playwright Aristophanes, 'Bratrachoi', into English, "The Frogs". This work was published by New College of Florida.
