Hello, I’m Cait! I’m a Latin, Ancient Greek, Koine Greek, and German tutor who helps students of all ages achieve clear, measurable results in these subjects. If your goal is to raise grades, improve test scores, advance language levels, or build strong foundational skills and confidence, you have come to the right place and I look forward to working with you.

As your tutor, I bring nearly two decades of advanced study in these languages, along with extensive classroom experience. I have taught hundreds of secondary school and college students and spent four years as a high school Latin teacher and World Languages Department Head. I hold a master’s degree in Classical Languages from UCLA and have also taught in the Classics and English departments at UCLA and UC San Diego.

My students typically see noticeable improvement within a few weeks: stronger translation skills, higher quiz and exam scores, and increased confidence in class participation. I support a wide range of goals, from catching up after falling behind to excelling in rigorous courses such as AP Latin or college Latin and Greek courses. Additionally, I offer custom beginner courses in Latin, Ancient Greek, and German.

Each lesson is tailored to my students’ specific needs and aligned with their course's curriculum or my own curricula. I use targeted practice, structured review, practice assessments, and frequent feedback to ensure steady progress and long-term retention. I also provide regular updates so my students can clearly track their improvement and feel confident in their academic growth. My goal is not just short-term success, but lasting independence—so students leave sessions more confident, capable, and prepared to succeed on their own.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, oil painting, and hiking in the forests of New England with my little chihuahua, Mackerel. I look forward to helping you succeed in Latin, Ancient Greek, or German!

Great Teacher for Learning Latin

My son is in eighth grade and has interest in learning Latin. He is doing custom Latin 1 course currently, under Cait's guidance. Cait is a knowledgeable, meticulous and patient teacher who makes learning Latin grammar easy to grasp and the overall learning process a fun activity.

Hamid, 4 lessons with Caitlin

Kind and enthusiastic tutor

Caitlin went above and beyond in preparing for my tutoring session and determining what would be most helpful. She is very thoughtful in her approach. Caitlin had pulled passages she thought I would benefit from working through and sent me quizlets specific to areas I was struggling with. She is very supportive and gave me a way to approach translations that I found extremely helpful. She is also just an incredibly nice and enthusiastic person.

The best! College Latin 202

Caitlin helped me throughout this last semester to ensure I was able to graduate from college! We went through Livy’s: ad urbe condita, she was insightful on translations, presentations and just the basic understanding. If you are struggling with college Latin she is the person for you!

Working with Cait has been an exceptional experience. Her deep knowledge of Latin and thoughtful and patient teaching style make even the most complex concepts accessible and engaging. Each lesson is well-organized, yet adaptable to my individual pace and questions. Thanks to her guidance, my understanding and appreciation of Latin have grown significantly. I highly recommend to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated tutor!
