Course 03 · Summer 2026
Whether you’re preparing for AP Latin, recovering from a difficult semester, or simply keeping sharp — a PhD medievalist reads Latin closely with you.
Latin rewards consistent, attentive engagement — and summer is a good time to build the confidence and fluency that makes the school year manageable. Steven’s Latin tutoring is not a drill or a grammar factory. It is a genuine scholarly encounter with the language: you read, he corrects in real time, and together you interpret what the text means and what its authors were doing.
Steven often begins a session by asking you to teach him some Latin — a move that surfaces what you know, exposes what you don’t, and makes the material feel immediately more manageable. From there, you read aloud; he corrects in real time; and together you work out what the text means — not just the words, but what the author was doing and why.
One former student described the result: “Reading Latin has gone from being an unbearable torture to a tolerable, and even sometimes enjoyable, task. Steven adds his intellectual sense of humor to transform the subject into a more interesting and fun pursuit.”
Steven B. Killion holds a PhD in Medieval Studies from UNC-Chapel Hill, with a specialization in classical and medieval Latin. His doctoral dissertation traced the transmission of Bede’s scholarship through Irish Carolingian schools via Hiberno-Latin glosses — work requiring extensive original reading in Latin across a millennium of texts. He has tutored AP Latin students, college students, and graduate researchers for decades.
