Teaching

I teach Latin & Ancient Greek at all levels, Ancient Mythology, and the History of Science, where I focus mostly on the biological/medical sciences.
Besides, I frequently teach classes on the relevance of Classics in our modern world. Why should anybody study the ancient world today (especially first-generation students, like myself, who usually tend to gravitate towards STEM fields)?

Below is a list of classes I offered and various teaching materials. Feel free to make use of them.

Sample Materials


Grammar Overviews, Readers, Commentaries
