I have taught Latin at the British School of Boston, the Uphams Corner Charter School, the MIT AP preparation program and the Boston and Cambridge Centers for Adult Education. I have over twelve years' experience tutoring Latin and Greek and have substituted in the Cambridge Public Schools at all levels and subjects for seventeen years. I received my Bachelors from Harvard University in the History of Science Department, where I specialized in the history of logic in Greece, India and China....
Reviews
My 11 years old loves his class. Christopher might look like a strict teacher but he is very kind and patient. He also gives homework every week but just so my son has something to review. Highly recommended.

Chris is a gem. He quickly ascertained my daughter?s deficiencies in Latin and explains things in a way she understands, with tips and tricks. My daughter is comfortable with him and feels he is very helpful.
- Dale S. from Jamaica Plain, MA
Christopher taught me Latin. Christopher helped me in grammar and also helped me to understand the letters of Cicero, which are all written in Latin. Christopher knows how to explain things in ways that actually help me to comprehend Latin. I had a very pleasant environment with Christopher because he is a very polite and helpful.
- Maria Luiza d. from Nashua, NH
My daughter told me that she learned more during the lesson than she learned from her school. Our goal is for her to take AP Latin test. Christopher seemed to be confident to help her reach the goal.
- Trisha S. from Andover, MA
It was a great lesson. Chris brought many textbooks to choose from and we had a very efficient first lesson. Thank you, Chris!
- Leo P. from Cambridge, MA
A wonderful, patient, and steadfast tutor. Always responsible, responsive, punctual, caring. He is very knowledgeable, organized, and with a engaging approach towards Latin. He has occasionally helped my middle-school daughter with other subjects when she needed it and he has proved versatile and successful. Chris is a wonderful tutor and a very nice person who has served as an inspiring role model for my children through the years that we have been working together.
- Elena K. from Brookline, MA
Christopher offered a well thought out and organized intro to Latin. My son appreciated his patience and solid understanding of the subject. Great lesson for my son.
- Rachel S. from Brookline, MA
Chris R has had an astounding effect upon my 15 year old son over the past six months. In addition to making Latin more comprehensible, his tutoring has changed my son's attitude toward studying the language . Formerly, my son drudgingly completed the required work each day. Now he enjoys the challenge of studying Latin (which was the original reason why he decided to take the class). As a result, my son has elected to take a third year of Latin. As a bonus, Chris has also stimulated my son's budding interest in linguistics. Needless to say, we will use Chris's services again next year.

We have used Christopher as a Latin tutor for my daughter entering Boston Latin in the fall to give her a head start. He has been excellent to work with, very flexible and accommodating and most of all a genuinely good educator. He goes at the student's pace making sure they have a good understanding of the concepts before moving on. He also, on his own time, researches and finds worksheets to drill concepts that require a bit more attention. I would highly recommend Christopher.
- Pam C. from West Roxbury, MA
We reviewed declensions, conjugations, and basic vocabulary. He was very prepared to teach me at any level because he didn't know going into it the exact level that I was at, and neither did I. It is obvious that he had a vast knowledge of Latin and has taught it many times. He is very good, and a nice guy.
- Eli R. from Beverly, MA
Christopher taught vocabularies, verbs and constantly teaches techniques to do well. Also gave list of vocabularies to learn. Very patient and extremely responsible and reliable. Thanks
- Asiya K. from Lexington, MA
Christopher was very patient with my shy daughter giving her positive reinforcement to ease her discomfort. It was a very good first experience for her and we have high hopes for what she can achieve with Christopher's help.
- Barbara L. from Burlington, MA
Chris is a true gem. He is sincerely committed to getting the very best out of a student and has the experience and patience necessary to manage the ups and downs of the high school experience. For more than 2 years, we had a very positive experience with Chris including a substantial rise in grades. Chris takes the time to let the parent know how the lesson went, what could be worked on in order to do better, and is extraordinarily supportive of the student. He is encouraging, but rigorous, and at least in our experience, produced results well beyond our expectations. I recommend him without reservation to parents and students looking for Latin tutoring talent.
- Edmund R. from Lincoln, MA
Chris did everything I wanted and more. He is very efficient and he made things very clear for me. I am so pleased.
- Charles A M. from Medford, MA
Chris has been very patient with my son. We have a set agenda to get through over the summer and I am confident that he will keep my son on track to do well. Glad I found Chris!
- Karen R. from Burlington, MA
I was very lucky to find Christopher as a tutor to help launch me on my way to learning Latin. He is very knowledgeable about his subject, has a lot of experience as a tutor, and his encouragement was important to me as a beginning student in this subject. He has also shared a number of important resources, both online as well as texts. He was very flexible about scheduling as well, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend him as a tutor.
- Kirstin O. from Somerville, MA
My fourteen year old is always so pleased when his lessons are over. The sense of accomplishment he feels is priceless. Thank you Chris for helping my son feel confident. You have helped him to achieve his goal for Latin an A on his midterm!!! YEAH!
- Regina Z. from West Newton, MA
We were very pleased with our first meeting. My daughter really thought he was helpful and patient. We are looking forward to having success in Latin. Chris was able to make a good assessment of my daughter's strengths and we believe he will be very instrumental in helping her gain more confidence thus better grades.
