Carpe Diem Tutoring

Specialties

I am a highly experienced tutor offering private Latin tutoring tailored to the needs of each student. Lessons can be given at the student’s home, school or other site as agreed upon.

History

Established in 2013.

After tutoring for three years while in graduate school, I decided to launch Carpe Diem in order to take my Latin tutoring from a side business to a profession.

My motto is Lingua Latina pro omnibus! (Latin for everyone!) I love Latin and believe that it belongs to all of us, as a part of our cultural heritage. My goal is to make it accessible to every student with whom I work. I came to teaching after many years of working as a journalist and public relations writer, in Asia for most of that time.

In addition to being a tutor, I am a creative writer and artist. I bring my creativity into my work with my students, to inspire them as well as to help them grow as language learners. I am working on an MFA in Children’s Literature in support of this side of my life.

My other great love is silent cinema, especially the work of Buster Keaton. If there is one lesson from Buster that I try to share with all my students, it is to persevere. No matter how many times you get knocked down, get up and keep going. Life may be baffling and uncooperative at times, but it is also beautiful and funny and you’ll get where you want to go in the end
