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.

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.

Mr. Cohee coaches my kid’s intermediate Latin. He is very knowledgeable and patience. We noticed immediate improvement. We are grateful of having him as a Latin coach. Highly recommend!

Peter is a wonderful tutor. He is very helpful and patient. He went through the history of the Latin, helped with the homework and projects. My son likes him a lot

Zhiwei, 3 lessons with Peter

A wonderful educator.

Peter is very knowledgeable and knows how to educate the student in a methodical, interesting and patient manner. He has been able to assess quickly the areas my daughter needs to work on. To this end he incorporates other teaching materials and gives just the right amount of work for my daughter to do before the next class. He also makes recommendations on the amount of time and manner in which to study and better learn Latin. Thank you, Peter.

Knowledgeable, friendly, and patient

Very Knowledgeable about Latin Grammar, Stylistic techniques, and vocabulary. Peter knows a lot about Latin prose, and he is certainly one of the most knowledgeable Latin instructors I have met.

Natasha, 26 lessons with Peter

Great tutor. Knowledgeable and patient.

Really helpful advice from a good teacher. Very responsive and easy to communicate with. We feel lucky to have found such a great match. My son is taking Latin since 6th grade and is 9th grade now. He really wants to get serious with his studies this year. He feels grateful to have found a teacher to help him to catch up to the new level of learning.

Invaluable!

Peter has been with us for nearly a year, first with both of our boys in Honors Latin last year and now with our son who is a Junior in AP Latin. Peter is an exceptional tutor who has given our boys tremendous insight into Latin and confidence in their ability to succeed with a challenging language. We have a lot of experience with tutors, and I am happy to say that Peter is easily one of the best. He is always prepared, patient, and professional. We couldn't endorse him more highly; just a terrific tutor!
