Latin and Ancient Greek
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.

We hired Peter C. to tutor our son in Latin. He was patient, explained things well, and gave our son a strategy to tackle translation. He also gave advice on study skills. I think it is likely that we will continue to engage Peter C.

Knows how to teach a struggling student.
I'll quote my daughter, "he's the best tutor I've ever had." Due to scheduling conflicts she has worked with several tutors and although she has connected with them in terms of personality, the skills she learned in one lesson with Peter is by far the best help she has received. Peter is also reliable. Lot of tutors commit then cancel or modify the meeting at the last minute. We scheduled our session a few weeks ago and Peter showed up as scheduled. Looking forward to more lessons.

Excellent Latin Tutor
My son learned a lot from Peter in the first session, and I feel that Peter has him on track to do much better at Latin this year. He gave my son good tips and homework assignment. My son left feeling more confident in his abilities to continue learning Latin

Knowledgeable and patient tutor
Peter is a fantastic tutor! My son was a struggling latin IV student. Peter was able to break down the material in manageable parts and help him realize the areas of weakness and strength. My son's goal was to get to the B range for a grade and he did! For the two semesters Peter was his tutor he was able to maintain grades in the B range! With his help he was able to feel more confident. We would highly recommend Peter for any level of Latin!

Great tutor.
Peter worked my grade 7 BLS student. He was very helpful and was very familiar with exactly what my son was learning and exactly how to teach it so he understood quickly. He has a flexible schedule and is willing to fit you in wherever he can to accommodate the student.

Peter helped me in Latin grammar as well as to develop my understanding of Latin poetry. Peter taught me in a gentle patient manner. I recommend him to anybody who needs academic help.

My daughter needed help after missing some Latin classes at school. He figured out how to engage my daughter and taught her some new strategies to help her do translation. We will definitely continue to use Peter when needed!

Excellent tutor provides excellent results
Peter is awesome. My son,had been struggling on quizzes and tests in his Latin Honors class at the beginning of the semester. After a couple of lessons, I already started to see big improvements in his grades. I'm happy to report that my son's final grade in this class for the semester is an A. :-) I highly recommend Peter.

Helped me understand how to accent nouns and verbs, which is not an easy subject! Having someone to help you along is always a good thing!

Peter made a huge difference!
We hired Peter to help my son, a high school Junior, with his Latin 4 (Vergil) grade. Peter met with him once a week for a period of about 2-3 months. Jack's grade went from a D to an A in this time. Jack's study habits and comprehension of the subject matter improved greatly under Peter's guidance. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter, he is an excellent tutor.
