Seeking Tutor of Ancient Greek. As a professor of political philosophy at the University of Memphis, I am seeking a tutor of the Ancient Greek language. For the tutor only twenty-one hours of work per week will suffice to meet all living expenses plus, thanks to free housing and utilities and car access, to add to the tutor's savings account. This could be a golden opportunity for someone writing a book or a doctoral dissertation.

The tutor will have numerous advantages. (1) The compensation will completely suffice for the living expenses of one person in Memphis, where the cost of living is among the lowest in the United States.

(3) The work on Plato is pleasant for a serious student of Ancient Greek. (4) The tutor will have many hours free each day, for example to write a doctoral dissertation or a book, for the tutoring lasts only three hours daily.

(7) In particular, Memphis is a paradise for those who love music, whether classical, blues, jazz, or rock.
