About Alex
I began learning Sanskrit on my own during high school; ultimately I received a BA in the language from Brown University, where I trained under James Fitzgerald, a leading authority on the Mahābhārata, and David Buchta, a specialist in devotional poetry and Pāṇinian grammar. My doctoral research was supervised by Stephanie Jamison, a leading authority in Vedic language and literature. Recently I have taught elementary and advanced Sanskrit courses at Brown University. Outside of Sanskrit, my primary specialization, I have substantial training in and working knowledge of several related languages, chiefly Hindi/Urdu, Old and Middle Persian, Avestan, Latin, and Ancient Greek.

Lessons are catered to students’ needs and experience; all levels are welcome. I will be glad to guide students through the basics of the language or through reading texts in the original. I draw on many existing resources (spanning over a century of publication) and readily adapt existing materials for improved legibility, clarity, and relevance to students’ specific interests. To the extent that it is useful and relevant, I supplement presentations of grammar and vocabulary with discussion of related languages that I have also studied (Hindi/Urdu, various Iranian languages, Latin, Greek).

Perfect! Alex understands my desire to acquire an understanding of Sanskrit and Hinduism as a Classical Languages major. I've never otherwise met someone who can relate to that feeling, so, I'm extremely encouraged!
Perfect! Alex is very friendly, obviously very knowledgeable and willing to work with my strengths and weaknesses. We discussed and agreed upon a methodology to get started and will begin the tutoring next week. Very grateful!
