Spoken / Conversational Latin - any level + ND friendly

The quickest and easiest way to supercharge your Latin language skills is to use the language yourself! We'll be learning how to become conversational in Latin, with as much active practice as possible - soon, you'll be able to read texts left to right, unseen!

I'll start at whatever level you're comfy with - whether that's from absolute scratch, or whether you've already done Latin courses at school or university and are looking for a bit of extra help!

I'm very familiar with neurodivergency (I'm neurodivergent myself!), and I know how important flexibility + accommodation is when it comes to working around neurodivergency, mental health conditions, disabilities, or any other circumstances - do let me know if you need anything, and I'll do my best to sort things out! I'm also LGBT friendly (and specifically trans + nb friendly - let me know any name or pronoun preferences, and we can have a bit of fun figuring out how they'd best map onto Latin!).

About Me

I'm an Ex-Oxford Classics student (I studied for three years, though didn't finish the course for health reasons), and would love to get into teaching! I'm passionate about using Active Methods for language learning, and I genuinely spend probably far too much of my spare time making flashcard sets - please ask to see my spreadsheets, I love them.

I'm a certified nerd (I speak Esperanto, have made myself a Klein Bottle Hat, and am learning to unicycle), have personal experience with neurodivergency / chronic mental health issues (so I know how important it is to accommodate them, and I have my own techniques to work around them!), and I'm LGBT friendly (+ specifically trans / nb friendly!).

Education

3 years' study towards Classics degree at Brasenose College, Oxford (received 2:1 in last official exams, + Firsts in all Latin exams, but did not finish course due to health problems)

A* in Latin A-level; A in Classics A-Level; A in Maths A-Level

A* in Latin GCSE; A* in German GCSE; 9 in Maths GCSE

Experience / Qualifications

I have three years' experience studying Classics at Oxford, and got a First in all my Latin exams. My original + translated Latin poetry has been published in Alexandria, the Oxford undergraduate Classics journal, and I attended the Latin speaking circle meetings (well, until Covid). I also did consistently well in my Ancient Greek exams (always a First, apart from one 2:1), though haven't written poetry in it (yet).

I have five years' experience translating German encyclopaedia articles, and received 100% UMS in my German GCSE.

I use Brazilian Portuguese every day to speak to my partner and his family, and have been studying at least half an hour each day for a year, although I do not have any formal qualifications. I'm conversational, and have the learning process fresh in my mind: I know what I found trickiest, and I'll do my best to make your own learning process smoother than mine was!

I got an A in my Maths A-Level, I've been published in Chalkdust - a fun maths magazine! -, and I gave a workshop on Topology as part of a convention in Esperanto. I like numbers!

Learn Latin for school / university / exam with FUN and passion
I studied Latin for 6 years (high school and university) and read the works of (among others) : -Ovidius -Virgil -Horace -Civero -Catullus I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary. During my lessons I use : - Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you, - Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep, - sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc. - books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc. I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson.

Latin lessons for all levels (beginners, intermediates, advanced, higher education students)-ADULTS
Associate professor, Doctor of Letters (Paris IV Sorbonne), teaches Latin at all levels. This course is aimed at anyone wishing to learn or relearn the Latin language, progressively access literature, history, philosophy, ancient sciences, and approach Latin culture. It is also intended for any pupil or student wishing for support in this subject. Learning the Latin language presupposes a few solid bases of French grammar that we review of course if necessary, before installing Latin grammatical knowledge. Learning Latin develops the rigor and sense of translation.

Living Latin through Comprehensible Input (Contemporary and Medieval Latin)
You will learn Latin the way it was meant to be learned - through conversation! Medieval scholars and contemporary language researchers alike advocate the use of dialogues and comprehensible input for language acquisition, and it most certainly works! As opposed to the "memorise grammar rules and then babble them in front of the class" approach that was demonstrated by the infamous "Romanēs eunt domus" scene from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian", you will learn to feel the grammar, so that you will be able to use the different cases of Latin without even thinking about it, just like a native speaker! For this class we will be using the following books, depending on the learner's level: Hans Øreberg's "Lingua Latīna per sē Illustrāta" "Corderiī Colloquia" Erasmus Rask's "Colloquia Familiaria" John C. Traupman Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency I will be the collocutor and I will answer the learner's questions and explain certain oddities solely in Latin (I will use a second language only when the situation calls for it) We will also engage in free-form conversations, discussions of the dialogues, of our life experiences etc so that the learner can apply what they learn to real-life situations and expand their vocabulary

Sam
Maths and Latin tutoring from an experienced tutor
Hello, I’m Sam. I’m currently an University student at Exeter University, studying Economics. I recently left KCS, Wimbledon with three A-Levels (Maths A*, Economics A*, Latin A). I’m keen to tutor students at A-Level or below in either Maths or GCSE or below in Latin. I achieved grade 9s in Maths, Further Maths and Latin at iGCSE. I have experienced tutoring students aged 8-16 over the last 4 years in Maths and Latin, both online and in person. I have further experience working with children having coached football, rugby and cricket for the last 4 years. I am a very flexible tutor, and am happy to teach whatever my student needs most that session, whether it be a homework or concept they don’t quite understand, or revision for an upcoming test. I have a deep understanding of current curriculums, having studied them across various exam boards not too long ago. During sessions, I'd start be seeing where my tutee has been struggling or making mistakes, before walking through practice questions with them, to see how their current level of understanding translates into real, exam-style questions. I aim for my tutees to take the front seat during sessions, in order that they are doing all the critical thinking, in order to help them practise without my help. I may also set a few short homeworks to ensure my tutees are consolidating what they have learnt, and don't forget it all by the time our next session comes around! My main aim is for my tutees to enjoy the subject! By enjoying it, you will be more inclined to concentrate, and put the work in to achieve their potential by the time exam season comes around. I believe that no matter how a student has performed in their subject in previous years, I can help them achieve the highest grades in their exams, and I will not settle for less!

Latin and Greek for beginners. Help for high school students.
These classes are primarily intended to support secondary school students. Translating together, looking at grammar together - those are the things we can do in class. I prefer to teach classes in the evening or at the weekend. I'm really trying to help!

Carlotta
Latin tutoring for secondary students (Dutch / Latin / German / English)
Salvē, my name is Carlotta and I have 7 years of experience in tutoring. Nowadays these continue online, which in my experience does not reduce the quality or results in any way. Since April 2022, I have been taking Latin language acquisition courses at Schola Latīna, an Italian private school that uses the comprehensible input (CI) method. This means that all lessons are taught exclusively in the target language, allowing me to not only translate Latin, but also speak and write it. Since no Flemish school expects active language skills, I will of course not do this unsolicited during lessons ;) In practice the same problems always return: difficulties with translation, difficulties with memorization of sequences and vocabulary, lack of motivation or fun. When such a fantastic profession is experienced as difficult, it is only logical that motivation also drops. Whatever the problem, Latin itself is a perfectly feasible subject. I also tutored mathematics and noticed that students only have fun when they are no longer struggling, which is what we are working towards :) My goal is to be less needed as quickly as possible by learning and practicing strategies. When you contact us, please state the year the student is in. I provide extra customized material! Cūrā ut valeās, Carlotta
