What to Expect

Tutors have been selected for their knowledge, enthusiasm, and interest in helping others to learn Greek and Latin. They are advanced undergraduate students, usually majors in Classical Languages. Tutors can help with study skills, provide extra practice and review, or give alternate explanations of concepts. They are there to help you succeed at learning Greek and Latin!

How to Prepare

Bring your textbook, notes, and any other materials that you think will be helpful for you to have during the session. If you have arranged but are unable to meet for a one-on-one session, be sure to notify the tutor.
