Greek

I have been studying Ancient Greek since 2007. I tutored in the subject from 2009 to 2013 at Texas A&M University, although I only began to be paid for it in 2011. I graduated magna cum laude from that same university with a Classics degree focusing on Greek, continuing afterward with a Master's program at The University of Nottingham where I studied ancient history and continued studying Greek. Most recently, I taught beginner's Greek to a struggling high-school student when his instructor, who was also my high-school Greek instructor, referred him to me.

Perfect tutor for our daughter!

Emily has tutored my daughter only a couple of times and we are thrilled with her knowledge, patience and method of tutoring. My daughter has ADHD and learning difficulties in English reading and writing. Emily is giving my daughter all the tools to help her succeed in reading and writing. We hope Emily continues to work with our through high school!!

A good first session

Our son enjoyed his first session with Emily. He said she was helpful, easy to work with and nice. We're looking forward to more tutoring sessions as our son progresses with Latin in high school.

Great Tutor!

Emily is a very diligent and passionately instructive tutor. My son has been struggling with writing and homework, but after just one lesson, he expressed his delight in receiving guidance from Emily. Furthermore, Emily takes the time to write thorough reviews of the lessons, which helps parents stay well-informed about the progress of the sessions. We plan to continue our lessons with Emily consistently in the future.
