Hi! I've taken seven years of Latin (middle school, high school, and college) and received a score of 5 on both the A.P. Vergil and A.P. Catullus exams. I'm familiar with the ancient Greek alphabet and have taken courses in both Gaelic and Egyptian hieroglyphics, as well as having some instruction in Middle English. I've believe I've read most of the fundamentally "classical" texts (Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, Paradise Lost, Canterbury Tales- if the student is looking for more English related classics?), and I have a breadth of knowledge about classical references that encompasses both the mytholo [more]
I double majored at Tufts and have a BA in English and Classical Studies, focusing on the history and literature of ancient Rome and Greece. Furthermore, during my masters and PhD, I actively engaged with Renaissance reception of Greek and Roman history and literature. I have tutored World Civilization courses, which include parts on ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. I majored in English at Tufts University where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with Highest Thesis Honors, then proceeded to get my PhD in English from USC. Nearly the whole time, I supported myself tutoring everything from math to th [more]

I have a bachelor's degree in Classical Studies from Centre College where I graduated Phi Beta Kappa. I took 3 semesters of Latin and 2 semesters on Ancient Greek during college but focused primarily on history and literature in translation. I am most comfortable with the Roman Republic, the Punic Wars, and the early Empire and with 5th Century Athenian democracy and the Peloponnesian and Persian Wars; however, I am still knowledgeable about the later Empire, the Roman Kingdom, and the Hellenistic Period as well as will Roman and Greek religion, literature, and art.

A former Classical Civilizations major at the University of California Los Angeles, I completed a total of 68 lower-division and upper-division quarter units in the Classical Civilizations major, just 3 classes shy of earning a baccalaureate degree in Classical Civilizations, before switching my major to Philosophy, the subject in which I would go on to earn by baccalaureate degree. As a Classical Civilizations major, I completed coursework in Latin, Ancient Greek, Ancient History, and Classical Literature. I was also cast in the Classics Department's undergraduate production of the play Aur [more]
The University of Chicago, where I graduated with a BA with honors, requires every BA student to pass through a rigorous Classics program. In these courses, I studied Plato's Republic, the Illiad and Aeneid (I studied the Odyssey in high school), Greek and Roman history and the surrounding cultural-historical contexts for these classic works, as well as early Christian thinkers (I took a course on Augustine's 'Confessions', for instance). Throughout all this time, I engaged deeply with the material and never got less than a B+ in any course. [more]
I studied Classics at college. In England, where I studied, we do not "major" or "minor", nor do we do general education at college. I arrived and from day one studied Classics and just Classics all day every day, for a total of three years (standard course length in the UK). I finished with a 2:1 (the second highest grade possible, with a "First" being almost unattainable, a 2:1 being very good, and a 2:2 being where most students end up.

While at GMU I studied classical literature of Greek and Roman origin, especially the proto-novels; such as, The Satyricon and The Wonders Beyond Thule. This class attempted to trace the thematic and stylistic roots of early European literature. I also studied the heroic archetypes of classical mythology and literature. In this class we learned to compare and contrast with modern heroic archetypes in modern culture, from John Wayne-esque machismo to the Odysseus-like heroism of Bugs Bunny. My favorite course of study explored Classical Greek myths as a social revolt against establishment value [more]
