I have also been a course instructor for 9 courses, such Ancient Mythology and Introductory Latin. I have tutored extensively in Latin and Greek, and taught home school high school Latin. I have extensive essay writing and editing experience and am currently a senior editor on a Law journal and writer for a legal blog. I have graded hundreds of undergraduate essays, tests, and assignments, so I know how to address common mistakes and can provide many ways to improve. Most importantly, as a student in three different fields (Classics, English, and Law) I have honed effective preparation and study skills.

Hobbies
I have pursued a wide range of academic interests and am passionate about sharing my knowledge. I feel that all of my experiences have helped me become a more effective educator. I have helped hundreds of students with their reading and writing skills in many different subjects, so I know how to approach and foster different skill sets and learning styles. I am an avid reader and enjoy political biographies and murder mysteries, especially Agatha Christie, in my spare time. I also like to keep active by running, rock climbing, and kick boxing.
