Sarah Stephenson Tutoring

I graduated summa cum laude from Cornell University with a double major in Classics and English and 4.02 GPA. I have over 10 years of Latin experience, studying authors like Vergil, Catullus, Tacitus, Horace, Propertius, and Livy and completing additional advanced study in ancient Greek (including Sophocles, Plato, and Lysias). This fall, I will be attending NYU for a Master's in English.

I help students master Latin as a language, not just memorize a translation. My method emphasizes fluency and comprehension through adaptive note-taking strategies and immersive instruction— building long-term language skills that go beyond memorization.

As a tutor in English reading and writing, ACT English/Reading, college essay prep, I emphasize sentence-level precision, critical thinking, and writing fluency. I teach students to write compelling, well-researched, and grammatically sound essays that express original ideas clearly and persuasively. I believe that everyone can learn to write clearly, persuasively, correctly, and enjoyably.

If you're struggling with Latin grammar, preparing college essays, or seeking to strengthen your writing skills in a time when many are simply turning to AI, I offer one-on-one support designed to build academic confidence, growth, and excellence.
