Graduate from two top world universities with over 10 years of experience Hi everyone, I’m Brian McFadden: I'm 37 and have two BA degrees from UC Berkeley in German and Philosophy and I have a masters degree in Classical Languages (Ancient Greek and Latin) from the University of Chicago. I was born and raised in Southern California and am a native speaker of English. I studied Spanish, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek in college. I have been a language tutor for over eight years and have had students from a variety of ages and backgrounds. I’m interested in incorporating linguistics and precise definitions into my lessons in order to have my students learn their target language comprehensively and easily. My teaching mostly involves giving my students a handful of words from the target language and having them use those words to speak in complete sentences. We then gradually build on these sentences by adding new words and grammatical concepts throughout the lesson. Additionally, I incorporate listening, reading, and writing through audio clips and music, reading quotes from famous authors, and writing exercises.

Teacher’s pick

He is excellent tutor for explaining pronunciation, and is very detailed about describing how languages work from a scientific perspective. Very in depth and descriptive on how to translate and read German.

He might strike you as a bit of a jack of all trades, but he’s got Ancient Greek on lock

Brian is extremely knowledgable and delivered his lessons in a humourous and encouraging way. I am much more confident in learning Ancient Greek now. He made detailed notes of the materials we discussed in the lesson. Thank you!
