About our students
The student members of the Department of Greek and Latin, as a group, generally have backgrounds in Latin and/or classical Greek. Undergraduate majors in Classics or in Classical Humanities can usually tutor languages through grade school and high school and into the earlier undergraduate levels; our graduate students often possess prior collegiate or pre-collegiate teaching experience and can generally tutor at any level. Members of the department's graduate cohort may also possess individual expertise in more specialized areas such as medieval Latin, late or Byzantine Greek, or Biblical Greek.
