Bio

I love to teach!

When I first arrived at Princeton, I decided to take Latin on a whim and I never looked back! Now, after 12 years of Latin study, a Masters Degree in Classical Studies, and 5 years working as a tutor or teacher, I have come to recognize that for most students, Latin can be a difficult and frustrating language to grasp. That is why I take the time to meet students where they're at, help them build confidence, and show them how to tackle new and difficult concepts.

Latin is not the only subject I teach - I have professional experience teaching the SAT and raising student scores by 200+ points. I have also worked with many students in English, Writing, Composition, College Admissions, Math (up to and including Algebra 2), and History.

Grammar

While studying Latin, I've developed a greater understanding of English grammar. I like reading grammar books and I'm a fairly strong writer. I've also tutored students in grammar and language.
Latin

Latin

I'm a Princeton alum who majored in Classics with 4 years of experience in college level Latin. I've tutored students in Latin for a year and a half. In the beginner/intermediate level of study, I like to get students thinking analytically about the language by having them recognize words that are derived from Latin. At the advanced level, I like pointing out grammatical constructions to students and asking them questions of syntax so that they can begin to understand how the language works.
