Salvete! I'm a 23-year-old student at Tufts University getting a master's degree in Classics with a Teacher's Licensure, and I'm currently student-teaching at the Boston Latin Academy.

My Alma Mater is the University of Michigan, where I studied Ancient Greece and Rome in the field as well as in the classroom. I completed an honor's thesis, receiving high honors, which analyzed the grammar and disposition of inscribed sling bullets at an ancient war zone in northern Greece to better understand how they employed weapon embellishment as a form of psychological warfare.

I have 5+ years of experience studying ancient Greek and 4+ years studying Latin at a collegiate level, and enjoy incorporating the fascinating historical background of these languages into my translation practice. I also have experience working with college students with learning disabilities, including those with ADHD, Dyslexia, or ASD.

Learning a language-- especially a dead language like Latin or Ancient Greek-- can be incredibly difficult at times! My goal as a tutor is to assist you in building confidence and fluency in these languages. Students of any level within these languages are welcome. I usually aim to teach students in high school or college, but am open to assisting dedicated middle-schoolers who may be in a Classics-focused program, or perhaps just want to get a head start on the language.

A session with me will usually involve us agreeing upon a particular assignment or passage in Greek or Latin to work on ahead of time, then working our way through it at a pace that works for you. I enjoy colour-coding words and taking notes in the margins, but if this isn't your style, I am happy to find a method that works best for your language retention.

In addition, I am experienced in writing college entrance essays for both undergraduate and graduate programs, and am happy to look over and assist applicants who want a second pair of eyes on their essay.

Approved Subjects

Archaeology

Archaeology

Along with studying Ancient Greece and Rome for 4+ years in my undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan, I have been on two six-week excavations in northern Greece as a student archaeologist and excavator, including the Pella Urban Dynamics Project and the Olynthos Project. I can help you study or prepare for college-level and below classes in Archaeology, Classics, or other Greek/Roman history courses.
Classics

Classics

In addition to studying Ancient Greek for 5+ years and Latin for 4+ years, I have also extensively studied the archaeology, history, and culture of Ancient Greece and Rome as part of my undergraduate and current master's degree in Classics. I have taken several college-level courses in these subjects, and even wrote a thesis, receiving high honors, on the dispersion and epigraphic habit of sling bullets found across the city of Olynthos in Northern Greece. I've translated and read several literary works from this time, such as Plato's Symposium (Greek) and Ovid's Metamorphoses (Latin). As a tutor, I hope to guide students in their studies of Greek and Latin, primary sources written in these languages, and historical contextualization of artifacts from these classical worlds.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

During my time as an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan, I worked at the Sweetland Writer's Center both as a tutor, assisting students in proofreading and workshopping their academic essays, as well as an Accessibility Board Member, working with a group of disability advocates to redesign the Sweetland Center to be accessible to students with both physical and mental disabilities. My experience working at this writing center for my last two years of my undergraduate degree, especially under the context of Universal Design for Learning, allowed me to become a better tutor for both disabled and non-disabled students who needed help on their academic essays.
Greek

Greek

As part of attaining my degree in Classical Archaeology at the University of Michigan, I have studied Ancient Greek for 5+ years and am well-versed in working with primary sources, both literary and epigraph. I can help you in your college-level and below classes in Ancient Greek, including translation, comprehension, and composition.
Latin

Latin

I have been studying Latin and Ancient Greek at the college level for 4+ years, and am in the process of acquiring my teacher's license in Classics and secondary education in Massachusetts. I am currently student teaching at the Boston Latin Academy, a collaboration-based middle and high school with curricular emphasis on language-learning and classical history. In addition, I have experience working with neurodivergent students both in high school and college; if a student requires a few different methods to figure out the best approach to the subject they intend to learn, I aim to be flexible and receptive to their unique needs.
