About Kristie

I am not only a tutor, but a bona-fide teacher. I have experience in classrooms with over 30 students, but I prefer working with smaller online classes or with tutoring clients. I find that I am able to share my enthusiasm more easily when relating with students.

About the lesson

Salvēte, omnēs! My name is Kristie Keller Jones. I am a patient and enthusiastic private tutor specializing in languages and social sciences. I have many recommendation letters from satisfied parents attesting to my dedication to my students. My background studies in linguistics have led me to form my own approach to tutoring: I frequently share the etymology of words with my students, which helps them to form associations as they learn new vocabulary, and engages their interest as linguists-in-training! I have taught grades K-12 in a range of subjects at BASIS Charter School in Prescott, Arizona, and have taught 8th grade English/Language Arts in a public school. I currently teach high school Latin online with CLRC.

I have a B.A. in History from UCLA, where I studied Roman History, Greek History, and Byzantine History. I also took a course on Women's History in the Ancient Mediterranean. I completed three years of Latin and two years of Ancient Greek, as well as Italian, which I put to use in Rome and at Pompeii. My senior project was a paper on Classical Linguistics--specifically on Vulgar (common) Latin and its descendants, the Romance languages--which was selected as the sole project in the class to be presented at the May 2014 meeting of the UCLA Classical Society. I even worked as a research associate, assisting Dr. Amy Richlin with proofreading and fact-checking parts of her manuscript. You can view my name printed in the acknowledgements (page xii) in her book, "Slave Theater in the Roman Republic: Plautus and Popular Comedy".

I earned my M.A. in Classics at the University of Chicago. There I took another year of Greek and another year of Latin, among other courses. I received a high pass on the Latin Reading Exam, which qualified me to teach undergraduate courses. I also passed a French reading exam and completed a course on reading German for research purposes. My master's thesis was on marriage and dowries in Ptolemaic Egypt, and I continue to research the status of women in antiquity in my free time.
