Latin Students and Parents of Latin Students: Let me help! I am a Latin teacher with a B.A. in Latin and an M.A. in the Classics; with 15 years in the high school classroom, 13 years teaching vocabulary enhancement using Latin roots and affixes, and several years tutoring in my home and online. My specialty lies in helping Latin I and II students organize and conquer 100's of endings. I have most of the textbooks used in the Latin classroom and a variety of practice materials that the student can view and use on the video-chat platform. We also practice a strategy for translation that works, right through Julius Caesar.

If you or your student wants to be a more vocabulary-savvy reader, I can provide an extensive list of Latin roots and affixes that give us 65% of our English language. We work on exercises to reinforce meanings and we read excerpts from literature where the student learns how to decipher the new word using Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes. This can be especially helpful in preparing for entrance exams containing many challenging reading selections.

Latin

I have a BA in Latin and MA in Classics. I have taught middle school and high school Latin in two public schools and one private school. I have tutored Latin students in my home. I taught vocabulary development using Latin roots and affixes to adults for thirteen years. With students I practice organizing information in a manner that facilitates translation, especially as passages grow more difficult. I emphasize the Latin basis of our own English vocabulary, especially the abstract. I also include plenty of history and culture as it explains who we our today in Western society.

Tutoring STUDY SKILLS involves practice at taking note of the first sentence of each paragraph and turning it into a question. It involves highlighting main points. It involves puzzling, out loud, through a math word problem. I have worked one-on-one with students doing these and additional activities since the mid-seventies, in the high school classroom and in my home as a private tutor.

I taught English Composition and Grammar to 10th graders, American Literature to 11th graders, and vocabulary development to 9th through 12th graders in two public high schools for fifteen years. I have tutored many students in the verbal sections of the ASVAB, GRE, PSAT, ACT, and SAT tests. I've used many approaches to English, practice in grammar, grammar in context, talk/writing a composition, small groups doing different classic novels, students writing plays based on their reading, poster projects, and lots of other ideas and techniques that English teachers' organizations talk about and share.

My daughter likes Susan's class ,she is a very experienced teacher. she is very patient. it is nice to meet her. I hope my daughter can take her class for a long time. the most important is, the teacher give the student book to study. it is better than no book to study , just speaking . and she will give her homework to do. i believe it will be efficient for studying.

Susan and I went over the Book 2 of Aeneid ( vv.1 to 20), reading and translating from Latin to English. Susan helped me to identify the parts of the speech and understand the main idea and details of the passage.

Excellent and Brilliant

After just one session so far, my son was very impressed with her, and said she was truly a brilliant woman, with a great approach for teaching. We have scheduled more sessions with her. Our primary goal is SAT preparation, but I am confident she would be excellent at anything she teaches.
