Peter

Peter understands the subject matter as well as the teaching plans for Latin. He is very helpful and patient. He's just what you need if you are struggling with Latin.

Peter C tutored our son this past semester through a fast paced Latin II course, and with his help, our son raised his grade from B to A. His patient and expert knowledge along with concrete study strategies was extremely helpful. Mr. C is the best Latin tutor my son has worked with!

Bruce M. from Quincy, MA

Looks for ways to structure the sessions in a way that works for the student. Very knowledgeable and professional teacher.

Peter has worked with our teenage daughter for 6 months to accelerate her learning Latin, given her strong interest and limited classroom time and support. She very much enjoyed working with Peter every 7-14 days, and believes her knowledge of grammar and understanding have grown significantly as a result. Peter incorporated innovative ways to learn, using different tools, technologies and approaches to keep things fresh and interesting. The pace of their lessons reflected our daughter's understanding of the materials, at times moving fast and at other times more slowly or returning to reinforce challenging areas. She has loved learning more Latin and feels much more comfortable with the language, both a direct result of the time she spent with Peter. As a parent, I found Peter easy to work with -- he communicated well, was always on time, prepared and flexible to changes in our schedule, etc. The time he spent with my daughter was productive, and she has a stronger passion around the language now than before working with him, and her level of knowledge has advanced substantially as a result of their lessons. Peter deserves high marks all the way around!

Peter worked with my son to assist him with Honors Latin III. Peter was extremely knowledgeable about the texts and the subject matter. He was able to provide my son with tools to break the translation pieces down into manageable "chunks," thereby greatly improving the ease and accuracy of his translation work. Peter also discussed the history and context of the readings, which made them more interesting and relevant. He provided my son with additional study aids to assist with test preparation. As a result of his sessions with Peter, my son's Latin grade and his confidence both improved.

We had a tutor before who couldn't make rapport with a child despite knowing the subject matter. That tutor also didn't give any written materials. But Peter was different because he has good communication skills and uses written materials to teach.

Luba G. from Newton Center, MA

Our son Michael just had the first lesson with Peter, where they talked about his Summer plans, which should help Michael to improve his Latin skills. Michael told me that he liked Peter and that he believes that Peter could indeed be a great help to him in the course of next school year.

Elisabetta V. from Boston, MA

My daughter has been very pleased with her first lesson and she told me Peter made Latin very interesting...an important step in the right direction! Thanks.

Victoria J. from Brooklyn, NY

Peter definitely helped me out with the translations needed for my Latin class. He was very patient and easygoing with things I didn't understand. I highly recommend him as a tutor.

Tracey F. from Milton, MA

We hired Peter to help my son, a high school Junior, with his Latin 4 (Vergil) grade. Peter met with him once a week for a period of about 2-3 months. Jack's grade went from a D to an A in this time. Jack's study habits and comprehension of the subject matter improved greatly under Peter's guidance. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter, he is an excellent tutor.

John A. from Villa Park, IL

Helped me understand how to accent nouns and verbs, which is not an easy subject! Having someone to help you along is always a good thing!
