Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome to Outschool.
I'm Janella. I've been a teacher for over twenty years and I help busy parents who want their children to be stretched (intellectually)!
I teach weekly lessons in Latin. Your child will learn grammar, expand their vocabulary and improve their independent study habits.
I have studied Latin for almost ten years and I am studying for a master's at the University of Cambridge.
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.
After studying with me, learners from the United States typically sit the National Latin exam or continue to study Latin at their Catholic or classical schools. Learners from South Korea and Hong Kong find my classes perfect as preparation before starting at a school in England while learners in Australia and Canada choose my classes to enrich their experience at school.
Whatever your reasons for wanting to learn Latin, I look forward to helping your learner start their Latin journey .
