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.

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.

Immediate improvement
The effect of working with Peter was noticeable from the first lesson. Every lesson so far has been targeted to exactly what I need in order to improve both my Latin (currently AP) and my ancient Greek. I feel very fortunate to have found Peter - exceptional tutor!

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!

Wonderful and knowledgeable teacher!
Peter has been teaching my daughter Classical Greek online for three months, since she is in a semester program without a Greek teacher. He is incredibly knowledgable and patient, and has nurtured her love for the topic while teaching her a lot. Can't recommend highly enough!

Excellent Lesson
I am very pleased with the first lesson. Peter's answers to my questions we thorough, easy to understand and included the historical background. The slides used in the lesson were of great help. I look forward to the next lessons.

Lesson 2
Sight reading and explanation of grammatical concepts. Explored nuances not well explained or highlighted in the book. Adapted very well to my capacity for learning. Very worthwhile lesson!
