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.
