Master's in Classical Studies
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.
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.
M.A. in Classical Civilizations
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.
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.
Masters in Latin Literature
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.
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.
That's one of the professional teachers I'd suggest. She's qualified and her skills are good.
Victoria was an excellent teacher who helped me a lot with Latin. She is very smart and also very good with people, which makes her an ideal tutor. She built my confidence, which showed in my grades. Personally, I would suggest her to anyone who wants to do better in school.
Master's in Classical Literature
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.
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!
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.
MA in Latin Literature
I have been teaching Latin for almost ten years. Latin is a very important language that has influenced many languages spoken today. In the past eight years, I have enjoyed helping beginners older students who are returning to Latin after a long time. My different experiences have made me a better tutor by helping me understand more and be more adaptable. I have learned a lot from each session with my student, whether it's simplifying declensions for a beginner or exploring Latin prose with someone more advanced.
Our sessions will focus on everyday topics, gradually introducing more complex discussions. We'll work on pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, ensuring that you can express your thoughts and ideas effectively in Latin. By practicing conversational Latin, you'll not only enhance your language skills but also connect with a community of Latin enthusiasts worldwide.This approach is perfect for those who want to take their Latin learning beyond the written word and experience the joy of conversing in this ancient language. Whether you're planning to attend Latin-speaking events or simply wish to explore Latin in a new way, this approach will help you achieve conversational proficiency.
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.
While Florence is knowledgeable, I found the pace a bit slow. But her dedication is commendable.
M.A. in Classical Studies
I started learning Latin when I was young because I was really interested in historical literature when I was in school. I became more interested in this subject during college, so I decided to get a master's degree in Classical Studies. As I learned more about Latin, I realized how much it has influenced the development of modern languages. I have enjoyed teaching students about Latin for seven years. In every class, I try to take my students back to a time when Latin was the main language. I use stories from history and famous books to help my students develop a love for language.
Grammar is a crucial aspect of Latin. To make it less daunting, I incorporate interactive exercises and games. We'll solve grammar puzzles, construct sentences, and practice verb conjugations through fun activities. This hands-on approach makes learning grammar enjoyable and effective..
I used to dread Latin, but Ms. Kumar's approach has completely changed my perspective. Highly recommended!
I have mixed feelings about Gabriella. On one hand, she knows Latin well, but sometimes it feels like she’s rushing through the lessons. I often get lost and wish she would explain things more slowly. Also, the lessons are a bit too serious, and I think some fun activities could make it better
Gabriella's passion for Latin shines through in every class.She explains things well, and I've learned a lot from her.
MSc
I can teach at any level from beginner to advanced. I have guided A-level and GCSE students. I can also teach Latin to students of other curriculums or people who are simply interested in the language.
My method focuses on participation. I prioritize oral expression, grammar, and vocabulary. Book a trial lesson with me so we can talk about your goals and how we can go to achieve them.
