At the time of writing (November 2024), I am a 30-year-old graduate of the University of Melbourne, with more than 10 years of tutoring experience. I hold a first-class honours degree in philosophy (my other major was classics) from The University of Melbourne, as well as an advanced graduate diploma in psychology (equivalent to honours). I currently work both as a private tutor (in Latin, Classical Greek, Philosophy, English and Literature) and as a Latin teacher at the Centre for Adult Education in the Melbourne CBD. I'm also studying a masters of clinical psychology at RMIT.

I have been tutoring since 2013. My students have ranged in age from 8 to 80, from primary to tertiary levels, coming from a wide range of backgrounds, each with their own needs, interests, and aptitudes. I have taught some of the brightest students in the state, as well as others who have found their respective subjects very challenging. I have taught students with dyslexia, autism, and schizophrenia, although I do not have any training and do not claim any special aptitude for working with people with learning difficulties. After nearly a decade of tutoring and classroom teaching experience, I am one of the most experienced Latin, Classical Greek, and philosophy tutors in Victoria.
Over that time, I have become more and more convinced that for a good teacher, kindness, patience, and humour are just as essential as erudition and academic achievement. I try to bring these qualities to all my encounters with students.
