Master’s in Latin| 25+ Years’ Experience |Yale Univ. Press Author |Princeton Theol. Sem. Coursework I guide students of all ages from beginner through advanced levels. Whether you are starting from scratch, returning after a break, or seeking course support, my structured approach can help you progress to reading classical Latin or the Greek New Testament with confidence. My lessons are clear, systematic, and language-focused, emphasizing reading, comprehension, and mastery of core structures. Students work toward real fluency through guided reading and careful reinforcement of grammar in context. If you are already using a textbook for a course—or simply have one you would like to use—we can build lessons around it. Otherwise, I will help you choose materials that best fit your goals. Over more than 25 years of teaching, I have worked extensively with children, teens, and adults. My lessons for younger students are engaging and enjoyable while maintaining a clear academic focus; students both enjoy their lessons and learn to a very high level. My students have earned top AP scores and gone on to advanced university study, including doctoral work in Classics. I combine academic rigor with sound pedagogy, making these languages engaging and accessible. NB: Some newer lesson types may show “0 lessons” due to italki updates. I have taught this material extensively.

Our daughter (almost 10-years of age) had a wonderful first Latin lesson taught by Brian. It is challenging but surprisingly good approach that Brian introduces Latin in the context of reading to our daughter who loves reading and has learned about the relevant world history/geography that gave her the context to get started (and finds relevant). She is certainly challenged in a meaningful and very friendly way. She said lesson is fun, and will definitely takes this great opportunity to have weekly lessons with Brian.

I never leave a lesson with Brian without improving my Latin and learning interesting facts about the classics. Brian makes learning a language as intimidating as Latin seem possible! I have been a student of languages for a while, having earned a bachelor's degree in modern languages, and I've learned more each session with Brian and Latin than I did in many of my college courses in modern languages, which are easier to teach and motivate the student in. I wish I could have a teacher like Brian in every language that I study! I've said it in many of my reviews of our lessons before, but if you're looking for a solid, knowledgeable, encouraging teacher of Latin, you've come to the right place with Brian!
