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 due to poor health), and would love to make tutoring my full-time profession! I'm passionate about using Active Methods for language learning, combined with data-driven approaches to prioritising what vocabulary you *actually* need to memorise.
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!).

Experience / Qualifications
I've been tutoring since February 2024. 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 continue to spend at least half an hour each day studying the language. Although I do not have any formal qualifications, I've spent three months living in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and translated a novel from Portuguese into English last year, for fun. 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!
