About Me
Salve, quomodo te habes? My name is Jesús Guerrero-Paquette. I am originally from Venezuela and I speak Spanish, English, Italian and Latin. I am proficient in New Testament Greek and I have a basic level of Portuguese.
I have a B.A. in Libral Arts from Anáhuac University in Puebla, México, and a B.A. in Philosophy from the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome, Italy.
Since 2010, when I joined Seminary, I have been living in international environments which fostered my ability to learn and understand languages. 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.
I have also tutor in several languages such as: Latin, Greek, Spanish, Italian and English. Feel free to reach out and ask me questions to see how we could work together!
