About
I received my PhD in Humanities from Florida State University with a minor in Classical Greek Literature in the Fall of 2003. In the Summer of 2018, I received a Masters in Latin from the University of Florida. I taught English three years in the Middle East, and I have basically fifteen years experience teaching full time College English.
Based on my IQ, I should have barely graduated from college. And yet I am professionally fluent in Classical Greek and Latin, achieved my PhD, and have been a college English teacher for fifteen years. I believe success is not about any natural gifts but about hard work and thinking about why you learn the way that you do, and I teach this way.
I use the Pimsleur Method, where students learn a body of knowledge, quiz themselves on it, add more body of knowledge, quiz themselves on it ad infinitum. This is essentially a hyper flashcards method of teaching. My recommended texts are Wheelock's Latin, or, for students who prefer a more natural language approach, Hans Orberg's Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata, which is available free online.
