I have toured reciting Homer, Vergil, Beowulf, Sir Gawain, Ovid, etc, in 32 states. I directed 2 tragedies, in Greek and Latin, in 2012, Seneca's Phaedra, and Euripides's Iphigenia in Aulis. I was in 5 church melodrama productions. (We did a field-trip to the Golden Horseshoe theater at Knott's Berry Farm to see old-fashioned melodrama.) I have given workshops all over the country on the correct pronunciation of Greek and Latin, which of course includes a section on emotional expressivity. This Fall I plan to direct Oidipous Tyrannos in Greek at the San Diego public library, at the brand-new building opening in September.

I am a student at SDSU and have been working tirelessly with Mark to keep up with my Latin class. He is unbelievably intelligent and knows Latin inside and out. He has been able to break down the language and spoon feed it to me until I understand every single aspect of it. An extremely kind and patient man, I would definitely recommend mark to anyone who is looks to improve their Latin skills whether they be beginning or advanced students.

Mark M. tutored my daughter in Latin and I was very impressed with his command of the language and the way he engaged my daughter in the process of interpreting a passage of text. We are looking forward to more sessions and I know he will be a great help to my 13-year-old daughter, who is now at the High School II level of Latin studies.

Mark is a Latin wizard. His explanations are clear and concise and within the hour we spent together taught me 'little hacks,' to help me memorize and recognize the vocabulary and important concepts.
