Living Latin through Comprehensible Input (Contemporary and Medieval Latin)

Van 26.19 $ /h

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

Over

I am a polymath, I am majoring in chemistry but I am also interested in theoretical physics, sustainable development, permaculture & regenerative agriculture, music, video games as narratives, and linguistics.
I am also a polyglot, I have studied over 30 languages, the ones that I am most comfortable speaking are English, German, French, Polish, Danish and Latin.
I believe that anyone is capable of learning vast amounts of information, given the right approach. I strive to find the right approach to my students and explain abstract ideas in terms that anyone can understand.
I like to combine knowledge from different, seemingly disparate fields and find analogies and parallels between them, and I hope to show my students the beauty of these parallels that tie together so many different areas of learning.

My name is Serdane and I offer ancient language courses to secondary school students who may have difficulty developing a working method that suits them. Extroverted and bubbly...and above all, a lot of humor!

Everyone learns in their own way. This is why I do not adopt a rigid method, but rather I adapt to the specificities of each student. I assess their level, their strengths, any weaknesses or delays, and I adjust my course accordingly. My priority is to restore the student's confidence: Latin and Greek are accessible to everyone when they are well explained!

I believe in the effectiveness of active teaching methods: I encourage maximum student participation, guiding them to discover what works best for them. This allows him to continue his learning independently.

Finally, I provide specific help for the preparation of questions or exams in more complex subjects.

My price includes full tutoring (private lessons, possibility of asking questions outside of class hours, assistance with writing and correcting questions, etc.).

Latin was and remains one of the most historically important languages in Europe. This class will teach you the fundamentals of an ancient and difficult tongue. Classes are flexible depending on the needs and availability of the students. While it may be a challenge, it's also highly rewarding as you can gain a sense of connection to the world with a language with so much history and influence.

Ik zit in het 5de moderne talen wetenschappen in Sint-Pieterscollege .
Online training voor succes bij toetsen en tijdens de schoolexamens.
Ik kan training voor het eerste secundair onderwijs en lagere school geven. Ik hou er van om leerlingen die nog naar school gaan te helpen met huiswerk, met het beter kunnen volgen van de les om zo de leerstof nog beter te kunnen begrijpen.

Ik geef evaluaties en verbeteringen, zodat er echt iets bijgeleerd kan worden.

Ik geef sinds 1996 Latijn, verspreid over alle jaren van het secundair, maar altijd ook in het eerste jaar en bijna altijd in het tweede jaar.
Aan leerlingen van die leeftijd de basis uitleggen doe ik dan ook heel graag...
Op school werken wij met Pegasus Novus.
Les gemist of nog niet zo goed begrepen? Ik leg het je graag uit!
Ik ben ook tijdens de vakanties beschikbaar voor het bijwerken of extra inoefenen van de leerstof van het voorbije trimester of jaar.
(Andere momenten dan de opgegeven beschikbare momenten zijn mogelijk in overleg)

Have you always wanted to learn Latin and Greek? This is your chance. I would like to teach you the basic principles of grammar so that you can start reading texts yourself. We do the lessons at your pace, in the way you like. I have a Masters in Classical Languages and have been teaching secondary schools for many years, so I know what is difficult in the ancient languages and would like to guide you through it. Are you also ready for Plato and Virgil?

Looking for a highly experienced tutor for Ancient Greek and/or Latin lessons? Then you've come to the right place! I'm a former economics teacher with a first-degree teaching qualification who, since 2021, has dedicated myself entirely to tutoring various subjects. I did this because it allows me to do what I love most: explaining material, building student confidence, and working together to improve grades. This way, I've helped around 200 students achieve passing grades or even pass their exams over the past few years.

So, while I'm a former economics teacher, my language skills make me a great tutor in Greek and Latin if you're still in the lower grades. I'm especially good at translating, if I do say so myself. :) I got a 9 out of 10 in Greek in high school (pre-university education). I took Latin up to and including the fifth year of pre-university education (VWO) and then had to drop it because I had too many subjects. But the languages are very similar, so I can definitely help you with Latin as well.

The structure of the tutoring is always determined in consultation, but generally, I'm a big fan of starting on assignments as soon as possible. Why? Because then I can quickly see what you can already do and what you're still struggling with. I help with that. This way, I avoid unnecessary explanations of things you already know. Moreover, you can then immediately apply the explanations you do need to an assignment. This way, the material sticks much better.

By the way, if you prefer tutoring at home, but I live too far away, consider trying online tutoring. I'm very experienced in that. I always give online tutoring via Google Meet, using a digital whiteboard where I can draw, color, paste, and type. This way, I can explain/demonstrate everything perfectly. I then share everything I've written on the whiteboard with you via WhatsApp so you can review all the explanations and solutions at your leisure after the lesson. Super convenient!

Finally, if I had to describe myself in a few words, they would be: knowledgeable, calm, reliable, approachable, committed and tidy.

Greek teacher with four years of professional experience in education. Able to help students learn and hone their skills in the use of the modern and ancient Greek language, understand the mechanics and use of the language to their advantage, through reading, listening and speaking. Encouraging the reading of Greek literature to improve critical thinking and linguistic acuity. Undoubtedly ancient Greek culture has had a profound influence on modern Greek thought and culture. Its teaching contributes to a deeper understanding of the history of a very distant era. My goal is to pique the interest of every student. After the lesson, teaching materials with theory and consolidation exercises are assigned.

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.
