About Bethany

I am currently a Latin teacher with Fairfax County Public Schools and I have been teaching Latin in FCPS for more than 5 years. I actually grew up in Northern Virginia and graduated from Park View High School in Loudoun County, myself. Right now, I am pursuing a Master's Degree in Classics (Latin) through the University of Florida online distance program.

I pride myself on creative and adaptive teaching, flexible lesson plans, and multiple approaches to students with various diverse learning needs. As a tutor, I seek first to understand where the student is and what the student needs before I try to teach or review any material. Sometimes drill practice is necessary, and sometimes drill practice is the last thing a student needs, but it ultimately comes down to each individual student.

I prefer to work with students ages 13 and up, and I prefer to tutor online or in public places, such as a Panera, Starbucks, or library. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns. I am currently a Latin teacher with Fairfax County Public Schools and I have been teaching Latin in FCPS for more than 5 years.

Bethany knows her Latin and does a good job teaching it. She is very patient and is good at keeping my teenage boy on task.

Approved subjects are in bold.

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Classics

I can help guide any student who wishes to make a study of Classics, as in the History, Culture, Mythology, and Language of the Romans and the Greeks.

Grammar

I can help any student develop his or her understanding and application of English grammar to develop better writing and better reading.

Greek

I studied Ancient Greek as part of my undergraduate work and have recently refreshed my Ancient Greek through my current graduate work in Classics. I therefore feel qualified to help beginning students learn to read and translate Ancient Greek work by such authors as Plato and Homer.

Latin

I can help any Latin student with reading techniques, translation skills, vocabulary memorization, grammar charts, keeping up with regular school lessons, learning the Latin Language from scratch, or refreshing after a long break from a study of Latin.

Microsoft Word

I work with Microsoft Word on a regular basis, creating worksheets, documents, flyers, research papers with footnotes and end notes, and tests and quizzes for the classes I teach. I believe Microsoft Word is best learned through practice and experience, so I would approach tutoring in this subject by guiding the student through creating different kinds of documents with different kinds of formatting.

Proofreading

I can help any student develop better proofreading skills so that he or she can self-edit more effectively. Alternatively, I am also available for individual sessions to proofread documents for a student and provide feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Reading

I can help any student develop better and more effective reading habit and reading skills.

Writing

I can help any student develop better and more effective writing habits and writing skills.
