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. 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 successfully start their Latin journey .
