My name is Steven James Peterson, and I am an experienced private tutor specializing in language-related subjects. If you need assistance with essay composition, advanced reading comprehension, standardized test prep, or any of several other subjects, you’ve come to the right place.
My qualifications: I earned my B.A. in Linguistics with special emphasis in Japanese (with Honors) from UC Santa Barbara, and my M.A. in Eastern Classics from St. John’s College, Santa Fe. I am currently preparing for my doctoral studies and am delving deep into the study of Ancient Greek and Classical Latin. My passion is for great literature, and in my spare time, I enjoy memorizing epic poetry and the plays of Shakespeare.
I have tutored for several agencies over the years, and have extensive experience teaching both online and in-person. I teach a wide range of ages, but my clientele mainly consists of high school and undergraduate students. (An additional service I offer is preparation of college applications, which you can read about here.) All of my tutoring is one-on-one, unless otherwise requested; if two students from the same family need tutoring in the same subject, we can, of course, make two-on-one sessions work.
Please contact me with any inquiries you might have! I would love to discuss working with you.
Sincerely,
Steven James Peterson
