Three Courses for the Year Ahead.
Read Like a Professor
College and advanced high-school courses expect you to read for what a text means, not just what happens. This course builds that skill—the way scholars, critics, and professors read—across fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, so you arrive ready for the reading load ahead.
Strong writing carries a student through high school and college. Steven has helped hundreds build the confidence to write well on anything—from the literary analysis and AP essay to the college application personal statement and first college papers.
Whether your student prepares for AP Latin, recovers from a tough semester, or gets a head start before next year—a PhD medievalist reads Latin closely with them, correcting in real time and building the fluency that makes the school year manageable.
“He is kind, patient, knowledgeable, honest, dependable, and really takes an interest in his clients. We have used many tutors over the years and Steven by far surpasses all of them. Our children will continue to call on Steven for help through college and through their journey in life.”
—John, Parent of High School & College Students
“On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give Steven an 11. Immediately after their session, my son told me how things went—and he was genuinely excited. I can give no higher recommendation.”
—Katie, Parent of High School Student
“My Latin class grade went up from a dismal C to a proud A—and my grade remained at this new height for the rest of the year. He adds his intellectual sense of humor to transform the subject into a more interesting and fun pursuit.”
—AP Latin Student, Raleigh, NC
