I'm Joshua G., an incoming University of Pennsylvania student (Class of 2030) and American Voices nominee for my creative nonfiction piece "Boca Brag and Schmear." I specialize in tutoring Latin, Ancient Greek, Spanish, and English composition for students from elementary school through college level. My passion for languages began early and deepened through immersion—I lived in Andalusia, Spain, where I developed fluency in Spanish and a deep appreciation for how language shapes culture and identity. Whether you're tackling Virgil's Aeneid, decoding Homeric Greek, looking to improve your Spanish, or crafting college application essays, I bring both academic rigor and genuine enthusiasm to every session.
My approach to tutoring is simple: languages aren't just memorization exercises, they're pathways to understanding entire civilizations and ways of thinking. In Latin and Ancient Greek, I help students move beyond rote grammar drills to actually reading and appreciating the texts that shaped Western thought—Cicero's rhetoric, Ovid's poetry, Plato's philosophy, and Sophocles' drama. For Spanish students, I combine traditional grammar instruction with conversational practice and cultural context drawn from my time living abroad. In English writing, I focus on helping students develop their unique voice while mastering the fundamentals of argumentation, clarity, and style that make essays stand out to teachers and admissions officers.
I offer flexible scheduling for online sessions via Zoom, making it easy to fit tutoring into your busy schedule regardless of where you're located. Let's unlock the beauty and power of language together.
