I have taught Latin at all levels to high school students in Massachusetts and Virginia. We covered everything from vocabulary to grammar - oh that 'dreaded' passive voice - to reading and translating. We read both prose and poetry - from Livy to Cicero to Catullus, Horace, and best of all Vergil.

...I also substitute-taught small classes of college students in foreign language. I am fully engaged during tutoring sessions, very focused, and I do whatever I can to aid students in understanding the materials at hand.
