I'm Jacob. I graduated cum laude from Pomona College with a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Languages and Literature. I have taught 3 years of Latin II, 2 years of Greek I and 1 year of Greek II at a Middle and High Prep School in Phoenix, Arizona. I have tutored students in Latin since college and I enjoy seeing my students progress in mastery of these challenging, but rewarding languages.

My tutoring method is to bolster your grammar knowledge by teaching you different memorization techniques and playing quiz games. I will also introduce you to a step-by-step translation method. Instead of seeing a big jumble of words on a page and doing little more than guessing how they go together, I teach you how to break the sentence down into manageable sizes of information, so you can start succeeding on translation exercises and assessments.
Rome was not built in a day, but I am confident that by mastering the language in smaller units, starting with nouns, then progressing to verbs and more complicated grammar topics, you will be able to make great leaps in Latin and beyond. Please send me the name of the book your teacher uses head of our first meeting so that I can adjust my tutoring to the system your teacher uses and make our time together more efficient.
