I am a passionate educator with 20+ years of experience teaching and tutoring both Latin and Greek to all ages, abilities, and demographics.  I have taught and tutored students in  graduate school, college, high school and middle school.  Throughout my career, I have honed my ability to effectively relay complex content to audiences of all backgrounds.  My commitment to individualized learning has led me toward the next chapter in my life, which is one-on one- teaching.  Individualized instruction geared towards comprehensive development creates the ability to make significant progress in short amounts of time.  Helping students develop their skills through the lens of social-emotional support makes it possible for students to build their confidence, while building their skill-set.
