Experienced tutor in Latin in San Francisco, Jude offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I really appreciate how much Mr. Morris clearly thinks about how best to teach latin and it definitely shows being his student. I've learned so much from him about the language itself but also poetic technique, what makes for great writing, and (not to be grandiose, but it's true) life in general. You will certainly learn a lot of latin with Mr. Morris, and I had a great time doing so; but you will also become a better thinker, writer, and person along the way.

I took Latin from Mr. Morris for 3 years and really loved having him as a teacher. Mr. Morris focuses not only on teaching you the different parts of the language but also showing you how they come together to form a complete whole. I learned so much about Latin and Roman history/culture from him. Highly recommended!

I loved that it wasn't just about memorizing content but instead about really deepening my understanding about what we were learning about and truly gaining an appreciation for it. Now be mindful that I don't say this lightly, however, I can say with full confidence that working with him and witnessing his passion for Latin genuinely made me excited to learn and to participate and I think that that is what really accelerated my progress as a student.

There is no better teacher or tutor than Jude Morris. I was his student for four years - all of that optional - and I can say without a doubt that he changed my life. Mr. Morris goes beyond simply teaching Latin: he breathes life into a "zombie" language, helping you use Latin vocabulary and grammar in your everyday English-speaking life. Not only that, but he will gift you with a lasting understanding and respect for the foundation of Latin: the ancient Romans, their influences, and their legacy. His massive heart, his everlasting wisdom, and his powerful desire to personalize each and every lesson to your individual strengths, weaknesses, and interests makes him more than a teacher. He is truly a Magister, a master. His hands-on, vibrant approach lends itself to all types of learners with any level of skills. Mr. Morris does more than teach you how to conjugate verb tenses by making each lesson a thrilling adventure into history's past and your future. I cannot speak with enough confidence and emphasis when I say that Jude Morris is unequivocally the best teacher of any subject I have ever had. I would not be the person I am today without him.

Jude Morris was one of the most influential instructors I've had the pleasure of being taught under. His enthusiasm for the classical topics including Latin is contagious which makes the experience of learning a topic, that could otherwise be quite frustrating, actually an enjoyable experience, and his depth of technical linguistic knowledge makes him an invaluable resource. The creativity that he brings to the classroom gives him tools and analogies that helps students understand some of the most challenging obstacles when learning a complex, dead language such as Latin. I can't recommend him enough.

Incredibly knowledgeable about the Latin world, whether it is grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, or culture, mythology, and history. I would highly recommend this tutor for any level of Latin.
