About Ancient Minds Tutoring

Andrew Eubanks

Hi my name is Andrew Eubanks. I consider myself a well-rounded individual who works to combine my passion for education and love for the classics with a diverse range of interests. With over a decade of experience teaching Latin, classical studies, and philosophy, I am a highly qualified and dedicated educator.

I have worked with various age groups and taught in private schools in San Antonio and Austin. For several years I also lectured students at the college level. I graduated Hendrix College with a degree in History and Religion and obtained my Masters of Divinity from Southern Methodist University.

When I am not in the classroom or working with students, you can find me staying active through my love of working out, running, and hiking. I also enjoy unwinding with live music, improv comedy, traveling, sports and cooking.

I love sharing my passion for Latin, classical studies, and philosophy with my students. Nothing gives me greater joy than seeing my students overcome obstacles and gain confidence in their abilities! If you're looking for an experienced and dynamic tutor who brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to his work, look no further!

My Services

I am currently offering personalized tutoring services for individuals and groups, helping students of all ages achieve their academic goals. Additionally, I provide summer sessions to ensure that students are prepared for the upcoming school year. Read more about my services below.

Individual or Group Tutoring

I am available to work with students virtually on a one to one basis or in a group. You can expect my Latin and classical studies tutoring to provide a personalized educational experience designed to help students improve their understanding and mastery of the Latin language and the classical world.

The tutoring sessions are 50 minutes in length and are tailored to the needs and learning style of the student, and can cover a wide range of topics, including Latin grammar and syntax, reading and translating Latin texts, and exploring the rich cultural and historical context of the classical world. As I am well versed in different Latin texts, I will be able to assist students who need help reinforcing skills and concepts learned in the classroom or those who are looking to begin the study of Latin outside of a school setting.

Summer Sessions

Are you looking for something unique for your child to do this summer? Why not learn about Latin and the ancient Romans? The virtual summer sessions will be an exciting educational program designed for beginner students who have an interest in the Latin language and the classical world. These virtual summer sessions will be offered in one week increments for 75 minutes a day throughout the summer. Each session will have no more than 8 students per class, and will be separated by age.

During the summer camp, students will have the opportunity to explore the rich history and culture of the ancient world through a variety of activities and projects. These may include reading and translating Latin texts, learning about the mythology and literature of the classical world, and participating in hands-on projects such as creating Roman mythology comic book, making Roman mosaics, trying ancient Roman cuisine, trying on Roman clothes and creating Roman landmarks with Legos.

Composition Course

I am available to tutor in virtual, one-to-one or group sessions. The tutoring sessions are 50 minutes a session. During these sessions students will embark on an exciting journey to develop and enhance their writing skills, empowering them to become confident, articulate, and expressive communicators. Through engaging lessons, interactive activities, and meaningful writing exercises, students will explore various forms of composition, including narrative, expository, persuasive, and descriptive writing.

Students will learn and apply fundamental writing techniques, such as brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and editing, to create well-structured and polished compositions. They will gain a deep understanding of the writing process and develop strategies for effective self-expression. Emphasis will be placed on developing a strong command of grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, and sentence structure, enabling students to convey their ideas clearly and coherently.
