High School Level English and Grammar tutor

About Jan

I've taught French (I-AP), Latin (I-AP), and AP English Literature at private schools for nearly 9 years. I've tutored in French since 2009; in Latin (Levels I-III), since 2016. I believe that all students can perform exceedingly well if their instructors understand who they are and how they learn, which, of course, implies a lot of compassionate insight on the part of the instructors. I have that true educator's gift, and that's one of the reasons why my students typically achieve high scores on their academic work and high stakes exams. The second reason for my students' excellence performance is my clear, rational method of explaining content. Students learn and perform best when they understand the material, not when they simply commit a ton of facts to memory. Re: my academic background: I've studied at SUNY-Amherst, The University of Chicago, and Indiana University (Bloomington). I've also spent 3.5 years variously as student, researcher, and university lecturer in France. I have a near-native proficiency in French.
