About Peter


Bio

Most people don't notice it, but the world we live in is still very much a Greek and Roman world. Those two ancient languages are the best way to begin seeing how much we have inherited from that classical culture. They're hard, it's true; but I can help you do very well and enjoy it too! I'm a former Program Director for Classics at Boston Latin School (1999 to 2011) and I have a great deal of experience teaching at the collegiate level as well.

Approved Subjects

Grammar

Grammar

My linguistics background and my doctoral-level training in ancient Greek and Latin grammar make me uniquely qualified to explain and teach the principles of English grammar to modern students.
Greek

Greek

I hold a Ph.D. in Classics, which includes mastery of both ancient Greek and Latin. While Latin is much more frequently taught and learned in schools, ancient Greek is not. But interest in ancient Greek is growing, and I am ready to help you with tutoring in this wonderful subject. I have a great deal of experience teaching Greek, both classical prose and archaic/epic poetry. I have taught Herodotus, Xenophon, Attic orators, Aristophanes, Plato, Hesiod, and Homer.
Latin

Latin

I have extensive and successful experience as a teacher and tutor at both the college and high school level. I was for many years the Program Director for Classics at Boston Latin School. I am very familiar with all major textbooks and curricula. I strive to meet all my students' individual and personal needs and goals.

Patient and engaging tutor my daughter enjoys learning from.

My daughter really enjoys Peter’s lessons and looks forward to class. He explains concepts clearly, answers questions patiently, and makes learning enjoyable. Once school starts, we plan to continue lessons with him. Highly recommend!

Exceptional!!!

I have had the privilege of working with Peter for the past three years from Latin II to AP Latin. His knowledge of and love for Latin is truly remarkable. His extensive understanding of both the Vergil’s Aeneid and Caesar’s Commentarii de Bello Gallico brings the texts to life, providing not only accurate translations but also cultural and literary insights that has helped me excel in AP Latin. Thanks to Peter's guidance, I’ve consistently earned strong grades in Latin and received a gold medal on the National Latin Exam, an accomplishment I know I couldn’t have achieved without Peter. I have developed a strong interest in Classics while working with Peter. I wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anyone looking for an expert tutor in any level of Latin. He is EXCEPTIONAL!!!

Diligent and knowledgable.

Peter came prepared with a document containing the passage I needed to work through, all separated out by clauses, which we worked on as a shared Google doc, was very helpful.
