Class Experience

This class is for anyone wanting extra help in Latin, whether you are beginning to study the language, you are having difficulty grasping some of the grammar, you need a refresher in topics you have forgotten, or you want more practice and challenge. I tailor the class to your individual needs. NOTE: If the posted time does not work for you, please reach out about alternative times/dates that may not currently show in my Availability calendar!

Having taught with a wide variety of Latin programs including Cambridge, Ecce Romani, Latin Alive, First Form Latin, and Latin for Children, I can address your specific questions about the series you may be using. I also offer special tips and techniques for mastering conjugations, declensions, vocabulary, and other points of grammar. Whether you are looking for an introductory overview or want to get a solid grasp of more advanced concepts, I want to make sure your experience with Latin is both rewarding and fun.

Learning Goals

Students will improve in their chosen area(s) of focus, including:
- sentence structure
- conjugation
- declension
- noun-verb agreement
- noun-adjective agreement
- case function
- attributes of verbs and nouns
- vocabulary

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

By the time I received my degree in Philosophy and Classical Studies, I had gained skills in four languages and a passion for two of them: Latin and Ancient Greek. In over a decade of teaching Latin at the middle and high school level, my proudest achievement is the number of students who go on to pursue their own studies in the language through the college level. Each year I have prepared classes to take the National Latin Exam, my students have been rewarded with certificates of outstanding achievement and ribbons for perfect scores. What means so much more than the awards and scholarships, however, is the enthusiasm they express for diving into a subject that is too often dismissed as a "dead language." A treasured memento from one of my classes is a drawing made by a student with the caption: "Latin never, ever, EVER dies!" My goal in teaching it is to ensure that my students' love of it never dies, either.
