Intro
Magister Pilcher, a native of Iowa, began his study of Latin at a young age. During various extended stays on the continent, he became fluent in several modern languages and fell in love with the city of Rome. His Latin study continued at Saint Louis University where he began his work as a translator. His recently-completed translation of the Tabula Libri Ethicorum (Aquinas Institute, forthcoming) is the first in any language of the Angelic Doctor’s concordance of the Nicomachean Ethics. He also works to prepare and authenticate sacred relics. His approach to living Latin is informed by his mentor Fr Reginaldus Foster, OCD. He currently teaches Latin to all ages in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Intro
Salve! Nomen mihi est Marcus. This is my real and roman name. From the time I was immersed in Latin for a whole year, at Accademia Vivarium Novum, IT, I have had a special love for the language of Cicero. It did much for my mind and education. Speaking it in both a serious and light way and reading extensively, enabled me to dialogue with a plethora of great minds and access the invaluable intellectual and liturgical riches of the Catholic Church. Besides, it helped me with Mathematics, Writing, and learning many other languages later. I can speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian but Latin is still the language that was most edifying to me. When studying the Liberals Arts at Thomas Aquinas College, CA, for instance, I was able to read the original text of many great works, like the Vulgate and the Confessions by Saint Augustine. If you would like to really learn Latin by speaking and reap the benefits I reaped, please let me know. Vale!

My peers were from all over the world and more often than not, I would be having dinner with 10 guys, each one of them from another country. I have taught Latin for beginners, Classical Christian Latin, Oratores Romanorum (Cicero, Quintilianus and Augustune) and Roman poetry at the Legion of Christ College in Cheshire, Connecticut.
I have taught seminarians from South and North America, Europe and Asia.

Intro
My name is Jenni and I am a professional Latin and Greek teacher with over ten years of experience teaching and tutoring both Latin and Ancient Greek. I have taught professionally at the elementary, junior high, and graduate levels and I hold Master’s degrees in Classical Philology. I am currently working on my PhD at Bryn Mawr College, and before that I taught Greek and Latin at the Polis Institute for several years. I also have experience with spoken Latin and Ancient Greek, and I teach all of my school courses in a 100% immersion setting. My passion is to show every interested student that they have the capability to master these languages. With my help, the complicated aspects of these languages will become clear to you, as I help my students learn tools and strategies that they will keep with them in the classroom and out – all in a fun and friendly tutoring environment. With specifically tailored instruction, either as a supplement to current courses or an education ab initio (i.e. from the beginning), I will work with you to help you access the beautiful literature, history and music of the languages of the Ancient World.
