Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart.
I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Learn the schedules by heart.
2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results.
Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind.
I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics.
What will not be the subject of the course:
learn lists of verbs;
learn lists of nouns with their gender;
learn words with their translations;
memory card game;
doing school exercises;
follow the program in a notebook;
impose French grammar on the Latin language.
What matters to me in particular:
motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm;
encourage creativity;
make friends with language;
letters and their sounds
strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop;
teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart;
explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ;
place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice.
In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy.
I look forward to meeting you.

Latin for Beginners: prep for entrance exams at 13+In this Latin course, I offer "Common Entrance at 13+" training (including scholarship papers) for those students who have studied Latin for one or two years, and would like to revise, do translations and read from fun books such as Minimus or So you really want to learn Latin. Plenty of cultural stories and mythology in the mix, besides battles and august men. A basic understanding of grammar (or willingness to learn) expected. Ideally, students ought to be doing Latin at school and preferably have a second language (a Romance language ideal for securing a higher grade).

1st Class Cambridge Graduate – Latin & Ancient Greek ClassesFlexibility is central to my approach, and I will adapt our lesson plans to your specific needs and objectives. I have a deep knowledge of Latin and Greek linguistics, and offer tuition to all levels from Beginner, through GCSE and A-Level, up to those studying Classics at university.
In our first lesson, we'll get to know each other and discuss your objectives and style of learning - I want to understand how you like to learn, what you find easy, and what you find difficult. And from there, we'll develop a well-prepared, interesting and valuable lesson plan.
If learning a language is the scariest thing in the world to you, don't worry! I will always be a friendly, patient and devoted tutor. I have experience tutoring students in 4 different languages over the past 5 years. I understand the importance of sympathy and patience in teaching, and will always be able to slow down or speed up the course of learning as required. Latin and Greek are not easy, but with an experienced and friendly teacher, it can be a brilliant experience!
I'm happy to run lessons of any length, and at any frequency.
At various times in my life I've personally tried to learn almost 20 different languages (though Latin and Greek remain my favourites!), so I know very well how it feels to be staring at a page full of weird-looking words, and not have a clue where to start. Helping people to cut through the chaos, and see the wild beauty of complex languages like Latin and Greek, is one of the most satisfying feelings I've had through my years of tutoring both children and adults. My mission as a tutor will always be more than just to build your ability in these languages, it will be to build your love of them as well.

I wait for you!

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

Greek language or Ancient Greek/ history and mythologyGreek has significantly influenced many modern languages, particularly English. A vast number of English words have Greek roots, especially in fields such as medicine, science, philosophy, and the arts. Learning Greek can help you understand the etymology of many English words and terms, enhancing your vocabulary and comprehension. For example, words like "psychology," "democracy," and "philosophy" all have Greek origins.
By learning Greek, you gain the ability to read and understand both classical and modern Greek literature. Classical works by authors like Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes are best appreciated in their original form, capturing nuances and meanings that translations might miss. Additionally, modern Greek literature offers rich storytelling and contemporary insights into Greek culture and society.

Learn (modern) Greek for everyday use, university, tourism with FUN and passion / (ancient) Greek for school and universityI am a native speaker of Greek. I graduated from a Greek high school and, later, the University of Athens where I attended courses in pedagogics, psychology, and linguistics.
During our lessons, I'll help you develop your skills (oral/written, and not only). I'll also try to help you improve your pronunciation and spelling. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.
I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching Greek, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels, mainly individually.
I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face).
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.
- pronunciation/spelling/grammar games,
- authentic materials were taken from websites.
I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding.
What can I teach?
- I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation),
- I would love to help you prepare for state certificates such as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.
- I would love to help you with homework and assignments (literature, history) from school and university (but please contact me about that IN ADVANCE).
Regarding Ancient Greek, I can help you with commentaries/translations/grammar/syntax:
- Socrates, Plato, Aristotle,
- Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, Sappho,
- Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon.

A study of the revealed books, Lesson One: “Come, let us ascend.”May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. I am pleased to present to you a reading and analysis of the texts of the holy books of the people of monotheism.
Maybe I'll start from Isaiah's prophecy.
And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. 3And many peoples shall come, and they shall say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he shall teach us his ways, and we shall walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Latin tutoring for secondary students (Dutch / Latin / 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!

Patristic Greek: Language and Theology of the Church FathersDelve into the writings of the early Christian Church Fathers with this specialized course in Patristic Greek. Designed for students with a foundational knowledge of Koine Greek, this course offers an in-depth exploration of the language and theological concepts found in the texts of key patristic authors such as Athanasius, Gregory of Nyssa, and John Chrysostom. Other texts can be selected according to the student's interest.
Through close reading and analysis of primary sources, you will gain proficiency in the unique linguistic characteristics of Patristic Greek, including its vocabulary, syntax, and stylistic nuances. The course emphasizes the theological, philosophical, and historical contexts of these writings, allowing you to engage with the doctrinal developments and ecclesiastical debates that shaped early Christianity.
Course topics include the study of homilies, theological treatises, letters, and creeds, with a focus on understanding the exegetical methods and rhetorical strategies employed by the Church Fathers. Additionally, you will explore how Patristic Greek differs from the Koine Greek of the New Testament, and how it reflects the evolving intellectual and spiritual life of the early Church.
Ideal for students of theology, church history, and classical studies, this course equips you with the skills to read and interpret Patristic texts in their original language, deepening your appreciation for the enduring legacy of the Church Fathers in Christian thought and tradition.
At least some prior knowledge of Koine Greek required.
