Master's in Classical Literature and Latin

Experience

I have been teaching Latin to students who follow the IB curriculum for 20 years. I have helped students learn Latin, from ancient Rome to the language's details. Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to teach students from different backgrounds. Each student has their own reasons for studying Latin and brings their own unique perspectives. My teaching style has been influenced by my experiences, which have made it more inclusive and effective.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to teaching Latin is all about connecting it to everyday life. We explore how Latin roots and phrases are still used in modern languages, including English. By making these connections, Latin becomes relevant and accessible. From scientific terms to legal jargon, Latin is all around us. You'll see it's not just a historical language but one that still influences our world today.

As an adult who is going back to school to take a class, I'm glad I picked Reggie as my teacher. I really appreciate how patient he is with me and how gradually he works, which helps me a lot. Under his careful and steady guidance, I'm sure my Latin will improve a lot. Five stars.

I have been teaching Latin to different students for twenty years. It has been exciting to read the stories of Cicero, Horace, and Seneca again and again with my students. Each time, their perspectives bring a fresh new look to our discussions. I've learned that Latin is more than just a language. It helps us understand our history, culture, and even other languages. I have had the privilege of teaching both young students who are just starting to learn Latin and adults who are interested in it because they love it or have an academic interest in it. I have helped many people pursue further education or careers in this old language.

Tutoring Approach

I make my students study  Roman art and architecture, delve into classical mythology, and examine the customs and traditions of ancient Rome. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of how Latin language and culture are interconnected, allowing you to approach Latin studies with a more holistic perspective.My approach is perfect for those who wish to explore Latin beyond the confines of language learning and dive into the fascinating world of Roman civilization. By understanding the cultural context, you'll develop a deeper connection with the language and its historical significance.

Jasmine is a gem! She turned the difficult Latin language into a thrilling adventure for me. Highly grateful for her. My friend and I started our classes together with Jasmine, and she has been a wonderful mentor for us. We both have improved so much in Latin course for our A-levels.!

I have been teaching for 15 years and I still have a strong passion for Latin. I have had the privilege of guiding many students, from secondary school students who want to understand their first Latin poem to mature learners who are curious about the roots of European languages. Every year, I have improved my teaching methods based on new research and the specific needs of my students. Latin has a wide range of expressions, from short phrases to complex poetry. I have experience teaching beginners by making verbs easier to understand. I also have experience teaching more advanced students by analyzing difficult texts written by authors like Virgil and Ovid.

Tutoring Approach

My approach of teaching Latin is focusing first on vocabulary, idioms, and phrases while also drawing inspiration from classical sources. You'll be able to engage in Latin conversations, write emails, and even create content in Latin for various platforms. This approach connects you with a global community of Latin enthusiasts actively using Latin in the digital age.Whether you're interested in promoting Latin in educational settings, communicating with fellow Latin speakers, or simply experiencing Latin as a living language, this approach offers a dynamic and forward-looking perspective on Latin studies.

Lessons with Isaac are a perfect combination for having fun and gaining knowledge. My one and only wish is that we could have spent more time learning about other works of literature.

For more than 14 years, I have had the opportunity to teach many different students Latin. I have helped high school students learn the language and guided university scholars in studying Latin literature. These interactions have greatly improved my teaching approach. I have experience teaching students who are having a hard time understanding difficult concepts. This has helped me learn how to adjust my teaching speed and methods to make learning effective and fun.

Tutoring Approach

My approach revolves around learning Latin poetry, where words transform into beautiful art. In this approach, we will study the writings of well-known Latin poets like Horace, Catullus, and Propertius, and others. Students will like Latin poetry, understand the different patterns and techniques used, and even make their own Latin verses.We will begin with easy poems and then move on to harder ones. By carefully reading, analyzing, and understanding, students will develop a deep understanding of the subtle aspects of Latin poetry. We will also talk about the history and culture when these poems were written. This will help students understand and relate to the feelings and ideas in each poem.

Mr. Pearce's passion for Latin is evident in his lessons. I just wish we had more interactive activities.

Sophia

Finley’s lessons have been a lot of fun for me. After a two-year break after GCSE Greek, he skillfully brought me back into A level Greek, which made me love and be interested in the topic all over again. Finley’s lessons have been helpful, efficient, and fun. His quick wit and dry humor make dry topics intriguing, and his wide range of knowledge lets him give interesting background on Hellenistic stories and ways of life. Thank you very much for recommending him!

Experience

During my 12 years as an educator, I have focused on teaching Latin to my students. I have been focused on the IB curriculum for the past seven years because it has challenging requirements. I have met many students who are interested in different things, like ancient cultures or learning Latin for its language difficulties. Each year, new people come with different ideas and questions, which makes me change and improve as a teacher. It's nice to see students progress from saying simple Latin phrases to having detailed conversations about Roman history, thanks to their new language skills.

Tutoring Approach

To me, Latin is not only a language, but also a way to travel back in time. I try to teach students both language and culture. I start by teaching basic grammar and vocabulary to make sure every student feels confident in their fundamental skills. Then, we move on to more challenging readings and interpretations. As we learn more about the language, we also learn about the Romans and their literature, art, and philosophy. My lessons are engaging and involve talking, sharing ideas, and working together on projects. I think it's best to learn a language by speaking it, even if it's a 'dead' language like Latin. In my classes, students are encouraged to talk, act out scenes from plays, and write their own short stories in Latin.I use a mix of regular textbooks and online resources to make sure my students can use different materials. Also, I often give them extra materials such as videos, podcasts, and articles that give a modern view on old texts. Students should understand how historical language relates to their lives today.

Mila is a great teacher. She is lively, and the lessons are fun. Anyone can ask her a question, and she is happy to answer them. She also makes great decisions about what to teach people who want to learn Latin. I would suggest this to anyone who wants to learn seriously.

Mila has been teaching Latin to both of my sons for their IB exams. An excellent tutor who is clear in their explanations and gets right to the point. Very pleased with how things have been going thus far.

Master's in Classical Studies

Experience

I started learning Latin before I became a Latin teacher. As a young student, I was fascinated by ancient Rome, its history, and how it has shaped the world we live in today. For the past 12 years, I have focused on giving students this experience. I have interacted with students from different backgrounds. Some of them are interested in reading classical texts in their original language, while others are simply curious about the language that influenced many other languages. I always prioritize the needs and goals of each student, and adapt my teaching methods accordingly.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is to explore Latin literature focusing on famous authors like Ovid, Horace, and Pliny the Elder. We will carefully talk about and read their works to understand their ideas and excellent writing. We will understand the myths and transformations in Ovid's "Metamorphoses," a poetic masterpiece. Moving on to Horace, we will study his lyrical poetry and discuss topics like love, friendship, and the complexities of being human.This method allows people who love literature and students studying classical studies to have a more engaging experience. It helps them better understand and enjoy classic Latin works.

Molly has a unique way of teaching which I found engaging. Sometimes the lessons can be intense, but they're always good. She makes everything easy for me.

If you want to see Latin beyond just a 'subject', Ms. Wheeler is the tutor you're looking for. She paints a vivid picture of the ancient world. My daughter has just started her lessons with Ms. Molly and I am so grateful for her tutor.

Experience

I became interested in Latin during my time as an undergraduate student, and my interest grew even stronger when I pursued my master's degree. I have been teaching for almost ten years and it has been a great privilege to pass on my love for this old language to younger students. Latin is not only a language, but also a connection to a past era. Over time, I have adjusted my teaching methods to meet the needs of many different students. I have enjoyed teaching both students who view Latin as just another subject and those who are truly passionate about it. Every student, no matter what they were interested in before, always leaves my class with a new respect and interest in Latin.

Tutoring Approach

When I learn Latin, I don't just see words. I see stories, culture, and the beginning of understanding. I focus on making complex things simpler. Instead of overwhelming students with a lot of information, I prefer simplifying things and making them easier to understand. We explore stories from ancient Rome, learn about the origins of modern English words, and sometimes play games related to Latin. Latin is best learned by being fully involved in it. So, my classes often include things from the past, like what people saw and heard, to help students completely learn Latin.

That lesson on things for the GCSE was really good. It really helped, and I used the videos to learn what I needed to know. Very good.

A thorough teacher. However, his class structure might feel a bit rigid to some. Still, you end up learning a lot.

Experience

My teaching journey has been 8 years long, and Latin has been a central part of it. I have been teaching different age groups, with a special focus on the IB curriculum, for the past five years. I have had a variety of students, from people who really enjoy learning languages to those who are just taking the class because they have to. Every student, with their different backgrounds and motivations, has taught me something new, which has helped me improve my teaching approach. I am happy to see that many of my students have continued studying classics or have found creative ways to use their Latin skills.

Tutoring Approach

Teaching Latin involves understanding the language's structure and connecting to its heritage. I have two main ways of teaching: first, making sure you understand the basics really well, and second, showing you how the lessons apply to the real world. I want to make learning more relatable and interesting by using stories, historical events, and Latin-rooted words in modern languages. In my class, we not only study Latin, but we also experience it firsthand.

Mr. Owen's approach to Latin is different from anything I've experienced. He doesn't just teach, he narrates. Every lesson is a new story!

Nina

Luke has been quite helpful overall. He is good at explaining things, and I've definitely improved my Latin skills. However, sometimes he can be a bit too strict with deadlines, which can be stressful.

Experience

When I started learning Latin, I was fascinated by the deep and rich literature it has. In the last eight years, I have been lucky to teach students about ancient authors and their timeless works. I worked with schools to make interesting Latin programs and judged Latin competitions at a national level. My experiences have taught me that it's important to understand and appreciate Latin literature by paying attention to grammar and the historical context.

Tutoring Approach

Engaging in spoken Latin is a valuable and often overlooked aspect of mastering this ancient language. In our tutoring sessions, we'll go beyond the written word and focus on developing your ability to converse in Latin. We'll start with simple conversations, gradually working our way up to more complex dialogues. This approach isn't about fluency but about creating an authentic connection with the language. Speaking Latin allows you to internalize grammar rules, vocabulary, and pronunciation more effectively.To make the process enjoyable, we'll discuss various topics, from daily routines and hobbies to historical events and literature. This conversational practice not only enhances your Latin language skills but also engages you in the cultural and historical context in which Latin thrived. By the end of our sessions, you'll find yourself not only reading and understanding Latin but also confidently participating in Latin conversations.

Florence teaches my 17-year-old daughter A level Classics, and she loves it. Florence is just as excited about the subject as she is. She has taken the time to learn about her and figure out how to help her the most. She is very good at talking to her and giving us comments. I have no doubts about recommending her.

Aaron

While Florence is knowledgeable, I found the pace a bit slow. But her dedication is commendable.
