Kathleen has been a full-time teacher since 1998, and has taught grades Pre-K through 6 over that period. She is currently a second grade teacher in lower Fairfield County.

Kathleen’s contributions have been recognized at every step of the way during her young career as a teacher. A Westchester school superintendent writes that Kathleen demonstrates “a high level of precision in her ability to design and execute lessons in all subject areas.” A Fairfield County, Connectucut assistant principal states that Kathleen has created “an environment which [has] challenged the inquisitive nature of the children...” and that her "delivery of instruction and execution of the lessons were clearly a product of a conscientious teacher….a consistent and dedicated professional.” In recognition of her effort to raise reading standards, Kathleen was recipient of a teacher grant in a Westchester County school district to further develop and enhance classroom libraries.

When asked why tutoring is special to her, Kathleen says that she enjoys the one-on-one interaction with the children, as well as passing on all the great scholastic and organizational skills that her parents worked so hard to instill in her.

Outside of academics, Kathleen’s drive extends to being an avid runner and skier. You may also want to ask Kathleen to offer you a sampling of her repertoire from her 17 years playing the bagpipes!

Erika: Latin
Special area: Piano Tutoring
Located in North Conway, NH

Erika holds her certification and credentials in Connecticut and California as a Secondary Latin teacher. She earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Classical Studies and Secondary Education from Regis College in Weston, MA in 2002. Erika grew up in Redding, CT and hasn’t stopped studying Latin since her first class in 7th grade! She fell in love with the Roman Empire’s language, unique culture, and the brilliant people who lived in the Roman Empire. Now her middle school students are drawn by the same excitement and passion and share it with her; excelling not only in the classroom, but also at CT State Latin Day, COLT poetry contests, and the National Latin Exam.

Erika helps her students learn and retain Latin by making it easy to remember associations, using mnemonic devices, and breaking the concepts down to become more logical by utilizing flash cards, charts, and color to visually and mentally organize the intensive grammar into a student’s mind. Of course, Erika always manages to keep it fun and enjoyable at the same time!

Erika belongs to several professional associations including the American Classical League (ACL), Connecticut Organization of Latin Teachers (COLT), Classical Association of New England (CANE) and the Vergilian Society. Erika has done extensive work associated with the Cambridge Latin Course during her summers. She spent a week at Tufts University in 2003 continuing her education and sharing the latest advances in teaching Latin with her colleagues. In 2004, she spent two weeks with members of the Vergilian Society exploring villas, palaces, forts, gardens, museums, and archaeological sites of Roman Britain.

Erika hopes to head to Italy next summer to assist archaeologists in the excavations of the Ancient buried city of Pompeii.

Erika enjoys playing competitive volleyball, waterskiing, jet-skiing, snow-skiing, mountain biking, chaperoning annual trips to Italy, visiting National Parks around the United States, and frequent trips to Maine to visit her family.
