"Dr. Kurz is an amazing Latin tutor. I began Latin with a failing grade last year and since then I have improved my grade significantly. This is due to Dr. Kurz excellent way of explaining the Latin language in a friendly and simple way. At the same time Dr. Kurz is amazing at Latin in both the written and oral expression. I would highly recommend him for the Latin novice or someone taking it on at the college level." Jet
"When I was in high school, I choose Latin for my language. After barely making it through freshman year, I struggled to continue in Latin II. I really enjoyed Latin though, despite the difficulty, so my parents agreed to get a tutor. My first tutor was a young woman who later recommended Joey as a replacement tutor since she couldn't keep tutoring. At first I was a bit upset, since her and I got along well and I was afraid to get a tutor I wasn't comfortable with.
After a few times meeting Joey, we clicked. We shared similar interests and we both, obviously, loved Latin. I always looked forward to seeing Joey in the library after school. From his fun exercises, to his wonderful personality and sheer determination for me to get a better score on my Latin test, it made Latin that much more enjoyable. I can't recommended Joey enough, he's a great guy and shows a lot of compassion. During our last meeting we exchanged gifts and goodbyes, he gave me a black and green dice set that I still use and see every day." -Rhea Buck
"Dr. Kurz tutored my son through a full semester of Latin so that he could attend 8th grade in the States (which does not teach Latin) and keep up with his school in Europe (which includes Latin). He was professional, effective, and helpful, teaching at our house during the Pandemic while both he and my son were masked and sitting at opposite ends of the table. I recommend him highly." Larry Squire
"Mr. Kurz was my Latin tutor in my senior year of high school (about four years ago now), in preparation for the National Latin Exam. He was a diligent, intelligent and was very good at giving specific, well defined instruction. He cares a lot about Latin and was engaged during lessons. I would not have gotten a Maximum Cum Laude on that exam without his guidance." William Tompkins
"Dr. Kurz was an amazing teacher! He expects a lot from his students, but this really helped me progress much faster than when I took language classes in high school, and even now in college. I took a Greek independent study with him, saw great progress, and can honestly say it was the best language class I have been a part of. If you're looking to take a class on the classical languages, look no further!" E
