Awesome tutor! Extremely knowledgeable & patient
Dhruv, 47 lessons with DennisI've had Dennis as a tutor for Classical Greek for a few months now, and he's one of the best teacher's I've had so far. He works at a pace that's comfortable to me, he's very organized with lesson notes and reading materials, and he keeps the tutoring sessions very interesting by sharing his understanding of Linguistics and History as is relevant to the topics being discussed in those sessions. I highly recommend Dennis, and I hope to be able to work with him for a long time!
Hello! And thank you for checking out my profile! My name is Dennis Alley, I have taught Greek and Latin at the university level since 2012, but recently decided to leave the university to help students in a more direct manner. Over the years, I've worked with hundreds of students in class, and dozens online.
I find patience, enthusiasm, and versatility the most useful tools in helping students master the ancient languages. I offer lessons at all levels from beginner to expert, and I am...

Wonderful teacher!
My daughter wanted to learn Latin and skip the first year of the subject at school to go to Latin 2 Honors. Issue was she hadn’t studied Latin before. She had about two weeks to absorb a year’s worth of material to take a two hour long placement exam, and we reached out to Dennis for help. Dennis had successfully helped our oldest with Latin a few years ago. Dennis was calm, positive, accommodating in terms of schedule, and most of all, super effective. He makes Latin easier to understand and fun. She got an A on the assessment and will be entering Latin 2 Honors thanks to Dennis. He is by far the best Latin teacher ever!

Knowledgable & Patient Tutor
Dennis taught me, a beginner, very well. He covered everything very nicely to the point where I scored well over passing in my exam. I reccomend him to every beginner, advanced or intermediate Latinist. He won't dissapoint.

Knowledgeable and thorough. Available when needed.
Dennis is knowledgeable and willing to work with my son, at his pace and on difficult translations that require a good deal of patience to work through. Highly recommend.

Extremely helpful
Dennis helped me structure an essay for my English class on. Hemingway; he was patient and was able to help me clear my thoughts to come up with a valid thesis and argument points based on my writing prompt and close reading. I was able to start my essay more efficiently with his help.

Very knowledgeable and very patient
I am learning how to read the ancient Greek lyrics from an expert, which is worth a lot more money per hour than he is being paid. Excellent reader of the ancient Greek texts.

Wonderful teacher!
My daughter was struggling in Latin, and Dennis helped her gain confidence and improve her grade in the course. He helped her to find ways to think through the language and make sense of it. He teaches with a patient and kind tone. I highly recommend Dennis.

He is absolutely the best! Very knowledgeable and thoughtful.
Dennis has been helping my 10th-grade son doing Latin research at the college level. My son is taking a Latin seminar at a university. Initially, he struggled a lot since his high school didn't prepare him well enough for doing deep research. Dennis has really given him wonderful advice. My son also likes Dennis's style very much! Thanks a lot!
