Award-Winning Latin Tutors serving Bernalillo County, NM

...AP examinations *Students who demonstrate challenging behaviors *Long-term tutoring in math and reading--I love to guide a student who initially struggled to meet and exceed expectations! Outside of my direct work with students, I have coordinated a math tutoring program that placed K-12 math tutors into local public schools. I have also served as a Crisis Services Supervisor at the National Runaway Safeline (NRS). At NRS, I was able to support volunteers in providing trauma-informed...

...college student studying nursing. I have tutored students since 8th grade and I am thrilled to be able to help students who, like me, sometimes don't understand all the complicated stuff school throws at you! It doesn't annoy me at all if you don't get it the first (or second, or third) time because then we are challenged to find new ways of understanding the subject and, yes, I think that is fun!... I believe teaching...

I have a PhD and have been tutoring for 10 years. I believe all students can learn, improve their test scores, and feel better about their abilities to succeed as students. Parents appreciate my patience and ability to explain concepts. Students like that I am fun. In the end, I am just happy to help people meet their educational goals.

...in the areas of language development and usage, I am highly qualified in the area of Language Arts as well, and have taught high school and college aged students in literature and English composition. Any teacher will tell you that working one on one with students is the most enjoyable. That is why I choose, at this point, to work with individuals and small groups of all ages. The great satisfaction I receive from this...

...Latin for the past ten years and have had a considerable amount of experience traveling the world and learning new languages, foods, and cultures that have made the world all the more beautiful to me. I have had experience teaching children and adults a number of subjects ranging from horseback riding to Latin language and culture. There is truly nothing more satisfying than watching a student without any confidence or skill in a subject grow...

...bet I work with students with ADHD), yet despite my diagnosis, I managed to become a top student all throughout my life. This was due to self-awareness, learning from others, and hyperfocusing on things that interested me and reading all about them. I'm a great teacher because for the most part, I taught myself much of the way, and I'm a tough client. If I can teach myself something, I can teach anyone anything within...

...a college-level Philosophy professor and Classics scholar for the past 15 years. I am a natural teacher and a forever-student. I have a B.A., an M.A., and a Ph.D. I love learning, and I love how positively the life of the mind impacts one’s existence in this world. I enjoy sharing this with others, and my ability to assist a wide-variety of types of learners is confirmed by the hundreds of students who have attested...

...my life learning and using languages, earning a degree in Classics and a Master's in Translation from National Taiwan Normal University. I know Latin, Classical Greek, Chinese, and Spanish, as well as a little French and Japanese. Chinese is the foreign language I know best, having studied, used, and taught it for almost twenty years. I use Chinese every day to communicate with my Taiwanese girlfriend, and I love helping others gain mastery in a...

...school English teacher, currently working primarily with 10th grade students. I have previously worked at middle and elementary schools as well. I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2016 with a B.A. in English and Theatre. I then got my M.S.Ed from Northwestern. I have worked with children of all ages in various capacities, including teaching, and I find that the best way for students to learn is to have fun and engage them.

...highlight of mine is the summer I spent teaching English to adults as a certified ESL assistant at the International Education Center in downtown Minneapolis. All these experiences have helped me develop a variety of strategies to adapt to different learners needs and learning styles. I tutor a wide range of subjects, such as ACT prep, math, writing, Spanish, and Latin. Whether the math section of the ACT is making you nervous or you need...

...a Ph.D in Classics. I am also committed to improving the education experience of my students, and have demonstrated that commitment in both my professional and personal life. Currently, I am working as a freelance writer, editor, and assistant to a scholar at the University of Washington who works on education policy. As an undergraduate, I was involved with a student organization that tutored students at a local K-8 school who were struggling with reading...

...student at Marquette University. I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering and will be earning a bachelors as well as a masters degree in 5 years total. My focus on mechanical engineering and systems is due to my love of putting things together and drawing conclusions from physical representations. This was instilled at a young age as I had a deep love of Legos. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra. Algebra features so many of...

...not a choice I would ever reverse. And if, for now, qualities born of that experience must recommend me more than the usual benchmarks of achievement, they may be of more value anyway. Compassion and patience, with recourse to humor, are certainly invaluable for a tutor. I have always been able to do well in academic settings and test-taking. Much of this success derives from long-hours devoted to assignments and preparation, but no small part...

Hi! My name is River Knight. I'm currently a student at New York University. I've actively worked as a tutor for the last 5 years. I hope to help my students find the joy in what they're learning and give them tools to improve on their own!

...what a teacher can mean in a child's life. Other people predicted a teaching career for me as early as high school, and I knew I wanted to work with young people, but I had to thrash around for years trying other disciplines before I could see the obvious. I was a perpetual student for a long time, directionless and underperforming because I had no goals. Once I got in front of a classroom, though,...

...and the SAT. I enjoy tutoring these tests because I get the opportunity to see students learn about the ways that they learn and take tests. Furthermore, it's very rewarding to see students get excited about their tangible score gains that come as a result of hard work. I aim to adapt my approaches to each student, but this always includes assessing strengths and weakness, teaching and reteaching content, creating a strong sense of test...

...consists of two kinds: a method used for language-learning and a method used for history. Both are relatively straightforward. For language study I follow the usual method of most classicists, focus on syntax and clause structure--in particular I find that understanding the clause structure of any language, ancient or modern, analytic or synthetic, is crucial in intuitively understanding the meaning of a sentence. In history I try to help students understand the "historical method" as...

...sophomore in Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. I am majoring in security studies thinking about working in counterterrorism. As far as tutoring style, I think it is really important not to give the student the answers but to ask them questions and help them come up with strategies to get to the answer for themselves; the goal is to make myself unnecessary in a way. My strengths (in school and tutoring) are in foreign...

...teacher, benefit and learn. What makes me an excellent tutor? Over the course of my life I have had the good fortune of cultivating a variety and number of skill sets, some of which are academic and social in nature. While I certainly consider academic prowess important for the success of any instructor, I would say the most important skill set I have developed is that of adaptability. If a tutor can adapt him/herself to...

...I love travel. I have taught or studied on every continent except Antarctica! I grew up in Colombia in a multilingual setting. My father introduced me to Latin at the age of eight and I was hooked. I earned my BA in classics at Oxford University and my PhD at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. A highlight of my time in the Tar Heel state was receiving the Tanner Award for Teaching Excellence...
