About Katherine


Bio

Hi! I'm a summa cum laude Duke graduate who majored in Classical Languages, Linguistics, and minored in Philosophy. I most recently finished my masters in Greek and Latin Languages and Literature at the University of Oxford, where I was awarded highest distinction. I love sharing my passion for the language and culture of the ancient world, as it is so different yet so similar to our own!

Hi! I'm a summa cum laude Duke graduate who majored in Classical Languages, Linguistics, and minored in Philosophy. I most recently finished my masters in Greek and Latin Languages and Literature at the University of Oxford, where I was awarded highest distinction. I love sharing my passion for the language and culture of the ancient world, as it is so different yet so similar to our own!

I have hundreds of hours of both individual and group tutoring experience with students ranging from 11-28 years old. I've privately taught Latin and Greek from the ground up as well as supplemented different schools' curricula. Most recently I was employed by Oxford to develop and teach a Latin program for international philosophy and theology students.

I often like to weave linguistic and historical concepts into my lessons to help best situate Latin and Greek in their contexts. I also have been trained in the active method of teaching, meaning I can speak Latin and Greek during our lessons!

Whether it's test prep, working toward proficiency for grad school, or general study strategies, I make sure my lessons are customized to fit my students' needs. I am passionate about meeting my students where they are, and I would love to learn more about your reasons for taking Latin/Greek and any questions you might have. Please feel free to reach out!

College Counseling

I previously worked as an application consultant for a college admissions company. While there, I mentored students individually throughout the application cycle and workshopped their personal statements and supplemental essays. This involved multiple rounds of essay editing paired with discussions of goals and values to ensure that students presented their most authentic selves to admissions committees. I have since worked with students applying to medical school, law school, and other graduate programs.
