My first lesson with Brian in Latin was a great introduction to the approach and style of learning a classical language. Brian is a seasoned teacher with a vast knowledge of multiple languages, their histories and cultural norms. Brian is friendly, kind and patient. I am pleased to have met Brian as a Latin instructor. Thank you, Brian.

He is a teacher who can not only teach English words, phases and expressions, but also help go further into the western classics literature. Brilliant!
