I have been a schoolteacher for over twenty years and I have spent most of my career teaching in schools where high academic achievement is valued. I originally trained in the United States but I received my bachelors degree and teacher qualifications in England and I work in London. I have studied Latin for over five years and my teaching experience means that I understand how to explain concepts in English and Latin grammar effectively. I have studied Latin for five years and am passionate about its role in developing a child's intellect. On Outschool, my classes are consistently given high ratings by families because I explain clearly and help your child to understand and master difficult concepts. I have taught over 700 learners with most families staying with me for a full academic year and often, longer. Whatever your reasons for wanting to learn Latin, I look forward to helping your learner successfully start their Latin journey .
