About Ralston

As an avid learner, I always encourage learning in others. I have been tutoring since 2011. In that time, I have helped over 200 students of all ages prepare for over 50 subjects, standardized tests (ACT, SAT, ISEE, SSAT, GRE), and foreign languages (Latin, Arabic, Spanish).

I began tutoring professionally in my Sophomore year at Emory as a class aide for the Arabic department and then branched out to tutoring privately, which I have been doing ever since. On average, my students see 10-15% increases in their grades and scores within 4-8 regular sessions, and some students have seen as high as 30% increases. I possess a wealth of knowledge in many areas, but one of the things that I find fun about learning is seeing how subjects connect to the real world. This is one of my greatest strengths as a tutor as I show students the different ways in which their studies connect to the world, their ambitions, and interests.

Foreign languages are a particular passion of mine. I have studied Latin, Arabic, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Hebrew,Ancient Greek, and more, though, I currently only tutor Latin, Arabic, and Spanish. My major is in Latin, which I have studied for over 15 years, beginning in high school. I have been deeply involved in Latin at many levels since then, participating in Certamen matches, Junior Classical League leadership, CAMWS and National Latin Exam, as well as being a part of the Eta Sigma Phi Honors Society.

About the lesson

Every student is unique. Because of that, there are many different ways in which I approach lessons. The first time we meet, I will generally ask questions about your goals and assess your areas of strength as well as the areas that need improvement and which of these things are best to focus on in relation to your goal. After that, we will dive into any pressing assignments or topics to make the best use of your time but will go back and work on fundamentals to ensure that you have a strong foundation for future lessons and topics. If your goal is basic comprehension and to pass, we will focus on your assignments and key areas you must understand. If your goal is fluency, we will take a more immersive approach where I will speak more in the target language and focus more on key topics for your goals.

Ralston provided excellent tutoring to my child that made a significant difference in grades, but also in confidence. His attitude, the tone of his voice and the patience he showed created an atmosphere that reduced the anxiety of homework and testing and enhanced opportunities to learn.
