Private Tutoring

Latin, Greek, & English Literature

I’m James Houlihan, seasoned educator with over 15 years of experience teaching Latin and Greek at the university level, and nearly 20 years of teaching Advanced Placement (AP) courses at a highly competitive preparatory school—where I significantly increased enrollment and founded a successful Greek program.

I offer personalized one-on-one or small group tutoring in Latin, Greek, and English Literature. Whether you’re facing a last-minute academic challenge or planning ahead for summer or fall, I’m here to help you succeed.

My Approach

Experience: Deep expertise in classical languages, literature, and pedagogy at both secondary and collegiate levels.

Teaching Philosophy: I foster a compassionate, intellectually engaging, and non-judgmental learning environment where students feel safe to grow.

Student-Centered Goals: Tutoring is tailored to your specific objectives—whether preparing for national exams, exploring authors like Catullus, Caesar, Vergil, or Ovid, or building stronger skills in vocabulary, grammar, logic, and writing.

Let’s work together to achieve your academic goals.
