1-2 horas por semana. Successful language learning requires consistent student effort outside of class. Without consistent commitment to out-of-class work, learners can expect to move at a much slower pace. Students may be assigned textbook reading, composition exercises, or other activities in between class meetings. Such assignments should be completed on a consistent basis in order for learners to get the most out of their language learning experience. Students are also strongly encouraged to "touch" the material every day, even for short (5-10 minute) periods; the teacher is happy to provide suggestions as to what activities might be helpful, but students are also encouraged to explore what works for them. Formal homework assignments could range from an hour to two hours outside of class each week, with "touch" activities left to the students' discretion.Evaluación
I strive to provide individualized, narrative-style feedback to learners and/or parents. I assess learners largely based on their performance in class; I am less concerned with what a learner can do on a formalized assessment than I am with how they show up to class. If a learner is engaged and demonstrates to me that he/she/they is/are understanding the material, to me, that is a success. My priority is for learners to feel that we are a team--I may be imparting new information and helping learners to process and assimilate it, but the learner is invited to take ownership of his/her experience by asking questions, participating in class exercises, and completing the assigned homework. A learner's performance during class exercises and discussion, as well as his/her/their performance on the homework assignments, tends to say a lot about a learner's understanding and progress, and learners receive personalized feedback around this. If a learner does wish to have a more formalized assessment (take tests or quizzes, have assignments that are submitted for a letter or percentage grade), that can be arranged by special request, depending on circumstances.Experiencia de clase

Nivel Advanced
This course is the first in an honors level Latin series. It is intended for those learners who have completed my beginner, intermediate, and advanced level Latin series and who wish to continue their Latin studies and to explore the language more deeply. Please note that though this course is titled as an "honors" course, it is not necessary for learners who have completed the aforementioned series to "qualify." Anyone who has completed the prerequisites or who has equivalent experience (if you think this may apply to your learner, please contact me) is eligible for this course. In this class, we will be working with more advanced grammatical concepts in the Latin language. These concepts will be incorporated into increasingly syntactically complex stories and readings. As the honors series progresses, learners will gradually be introduced to more authentic Latin from ancient authors (via adapted stories and readings). While my previous Latin series have always included a cultural component, with learners learning about the ancient Romans--their beliefs, their sense of identity, their customs, etc., this series will enable learners to learn more about the Roman world from a literary and historical perspective, as we will be introduced to Roman writers who played an important role both in terms of their contributions to Roman literature and in their position as political figures/leaders. It is my hope that this series enables learners to understand better the impact and influence of Roman literature on Western art, and I intend for this series to place the Latin language in an even more vivid context for learners. In addition to learning more about the Latin language and Latin literature, learners can expect to improve their English grammar skills, English vocabulary (via etymology), and critical thinking skills. As with all of my language courses, this course is designed for flexibility. There is no "one size fits all" approach to my classes, as every class and every learner is unique. The weekly lessons outlined below are guidelines for what learners can expect, but the pacing can be altered to accommodate learner interest and the speed at which material is mastered. Learners should feel assured that the course material can and will be adapted to fit their learning style and speed. It is far more important to ensure that learners feel confident in their understanding than to move quickly for the sake of adhering to a preset schedule; when it comes to learning, there can be no universal approach, and class sessions are tailored to the needs and preferences of each unique group of learners. The extent to which learners are completing out-of-class assignments and devoting the necessary time to the study of the language between classes will also affect the pace of the course. Learners who completed the prerequisites in my classroom can expect to pick up where they left off at the end of the final class in the advanced level series. Week One - More about the ablative absolute (form, use, translation) Week Two - Negative purpose clauses and indirect commands Week Three - More about deponent verbs Week Four - More about deponent verbs, part II Week Five - Future active and future passive participles Week Six - Review of all participles (present active, perfect passive, perfect active, future active, future passive) Week Seven - Introduction to the passive periphrastic

I fell in love with classics as an undergraduate. During high school, I had taken a few Latin courses, and I had a genuine interest in the language (as a child, I had even attempted to teach myself Latin from a book, which didn't go so well, but clearly I had an attraction to Latin from an early age!), but it wasn't something I imagined myself pursuing in any serious way in higher education. In the first semester of my freshman year at college, however, due to a mix up with my schedule, I ended up in a Roman history course, and it transformed my world. I was entranced by both the subject matter and the teacher, and when the second semester came around, I made sure to sign up for as many classics courses as I could take. By sophomore year, I was learning ancient Greek and declaring my major in classics. I received my BA in Latin Language and Literature (with an undeclared minor in ancient Greek) from Oberlin College.
During my senior year of college, I made the decision to apply to graduate school. By that time, I had decided that I wanted to share my excitement for the classical world by becoming a teacher, and given my passion for classics, I preferred to deepen my knowledge of the subject rather than to attend a master's of education program. I received a merit-based classics fellowship from the University of Virginia, from which I received my MA in Classics.
I began my Latin teaching career as an undergraduate, when I was selected by Oberlin College's Department of Classics to teach a month-long, intensive Latin language course (six hours a day) for fellow undergraduates. This intensive course was intended to replace Latin 101 for students who could not fit the traditional, semester-long course in their schedule; those students who completed it were then eligible for the Latin 102 course. I also began my work as a Latin tutor during my time as an undergraduate. I have been a Latin language tutor for my entire adult life, and I have taught Latin language and literature courses on the college level at both Oberlin College and the University of Virginia. I also worked as a Latin teacher at a private school in Virginia for many years, and as such, I taught Latin language and literature courses (intro Latin all the way through AP Latin) for middle schoolers and upper schoolers; because the school gave teachers control over course curriculum, I structured my classes so that mythology, Roman history, and classical civilization played an integral role. I am a classicist, not only a Latin teacher, and while Latin language instruction is a big part of what I do, the study of classics requires an intimate knowledge of classical literature, ancient Greek, Greek and Roman history, mythology, classical art history/architecture, classical culture, and much more.
