Good teaching and good human contact. Thanks to this Maxime, my daughter was able to benefit from an effective and reassuring refresher course in Latin for a good start in 3rd grade.

Latin lessons for beginners or less advanced: better understand the interest of the language and its history
Latin is often described as a dead and useless language. But you should know that it helps to better understand the French language. It is also a very interesting language to study! As a student in the Preparatory Class for Literary Grandes Ecoles, I do a lot of Latin and can therefore help to learn and revise Latin lessons in addition to having a lot of practical exercises. I hope through these courses to bring you a certain interest for this language. The Latin language is also not just about grammar, conjugation etc... It allows you to discover the history of Ancient Rome through many very interesting texts to study!

Clara
Latin lessons, English lessons for all levels.
I am passionate about languages and the study of translation (version / theme). I studied Latin and English throughout my schooling and during my studies in preparatory literary class. I also went to work in England for a two month stay, which allowed me to develop a "British" accent and to be more aware of the characteristics of this wonderful language and indispensable in the world today. I am currently teaching Latin and English to undergraduate students in Literature at the Sorbonne. I am very focused on the practice of the language, the exercises and the translation, which are a guarantee of efficiency and discipline.

Nathan
Latin for Beginners', Using Wheelock's Latin Textbook
***THE TEXTBOOK IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THE CLASS*** Learning Latin is the gateway to an entire civilisation - the Romans. In this class, we will cover the contents of the textbook called Wheelock's Latin, starting with the basics of noun and verb formations and ending with various kinds of subjunctive clauses, and how to interpret them.

Flavia
Latin classes language and literature for students at college and high school or university
In this class i help students with Latin language, grammar and literature. It's a taugh language to study and translate but we'll try to make it in the most communicative way as possible using flash cards and other tools to study declinations and tenses.

Celia Medina
Latin classes. They are dedicated to high school students.
Private Latin classes for high school students, both for those who have just started learning the subject and for those who are in their second year and are going to take the university entrance exams. We will review the content corresponding to each level and will emphasize those in which the student has the greatest difficulty.

Kevin
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.

Spanish for foreigners, Italian, Latin, Ancient Greek, Philosophy. Support classes in English and all humanities subjects.
Teacher with several years of experience as a course and private teacher in several countries. I adapt to your time, needs, level and objectives. I make the lesson enjoyable and at the same time profound, varying the method and dynamics depending on what is needed.

Laetitia
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.

Ian
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

Alexandre
Course in Latin and ancient Greek, linguistics of classical languages
Our series of courses is aimed at those who would like to improve their knowledge of Latin and ancient Greek and share our passion for ancient cultures but also the languages of the world which, thanks to comparative linguistics, are magnificent tools for exchange and dialogue. We offer both our knowledge of philology and targeted exercises on Greek and Latin grammar and an introduction to Anatolian, Portuguese and Old Norse languages. We are happy to discuss with everyone and adapt our reading themes to suit our audience. Courses can be taken in modules, in groups or individually.

Justyna
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. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective 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 sit an exam, I am very demanding. What can I teach? - I can prepare you for exams at school / university. - I can help you with assignments / HW. - I can help you with translations / commentaries / grammar / syntax.

Alessia
Latin, Ancient Greek, and Biology tutoring classes
I have several years of experience tutoring students of different age groups in Latin and Ancient Greek. I am deeply passionate about these languages and I enjoy helping students improving at them. I believe that understanding the structure of a sentence is fundamental when approaching these languages, therefore this is an important focus for me. During the class I always dedicate some time to reasoning and translating sentences together with the student. I have a BS in pharmaceutical biotechnology and I am currently a master student in Medicine. I find biology very fascinating and I have been tutoring it for years now. Depending on the topic and the student's needs, I structure the lessons differently. I usually explain the topic and use tools such as spaced repetition, notes, conceptual maps to make sure that the student has understood.
