Courses in Latin language and literature: grammar, translation, translation studies, commentary (literary, philosophical, theological)

From 69.43 $ /h

Latin, along with Greek, was one of the major languages of culture in Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and up until the modern era, particularly in theology and philosophy. It is the language of ancient Rome, but also of the Western Catholic Church, medieval Christianity, theology, and philosophy. It is the language of Plautus, Ennius, Virgil, Cicero, Seneca, Tacitus, Apuleius, Lucretius, Ovid... but also of Perpetua, Tertullian, Egeria, Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome, Gregory the Great, Hrotsvita, Bernard of Clairvaux, Angela of Foligno, Francesco Petrarca, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Leibniz...
I will help you discover, or better understand and appreciate, this vast and fascinating linguistic and cultural universe. We will work methodically and progressively on the language and texts.

Bible and theology (Jewish, Christian) in Antiquity and the Middle Ages

82.6 $ /h

The course will introduce students to the Bible and the two religions it founded, Judaism and Christianity.: presentation of the Torah and “the” Christian Bible (historical, philological, linguistic, literary, and theological approaches); of Judaism and Christianity, and of what is known as the “separation of ways"; of Christian theology through a selection of works and Latin texts from late antiquity and the Middle Ages, from the Passion of Perpetua and Felicity to Nicholas of Cusa. The relationship between the two religions will be studied with particular attention: it is necessary to honor the Jewish roots of Christianity and the chronological and ontological priority of Judaism.

Master Latin — Speak, Read, and Understand the Language of the Classics

In my classes, you will gain a complete command of Latin grammar and develop the ability to speak, write, and read the language with confidence. Together, we will explore Latin as a living language — not only translating it, but also using it actively to understand the great authors in their original words, from Cicero to Erasmus.

The core of my course is Familia Romana, a renowned textbook that introduces the essential structures of Latin grammar and builds a strong foundation in vocabulary through engaging, context-based learning.

My teaching approach is flexible and student-centered, adapting to your pace, interests, and goals. Whether you wish to read classical literature, strengthen your linguistic understanding, or experience Latin as a spoken language, I will guide you step by step toward mastery.

By the end of the course, you will not only know Latin — you will think and express yourself in it.

Join me in rediscovering Latin as it was meant to be: alive, precise, and profoundly beautiful.

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Help student high schools all the first time to improve in Greek and Latin: grammatica, morphology, sintassi analysis and translation guidance from high school versions for high school classics. Through the study and the ripasso of the fine grammatical rules of the translation.

Italian is a rich and expressive language, and my lessons are designed to help students gain confidence and clarity in both speaking and writing. I offer personalised Italian lessons adapting each class to the student’s level and goals.

With academic training at the University of Oxford, I combine a clear and structured approach with practical exercises in grammar, vocabulary, conversation, and writing. Lessons can focus on everyday Italian, exam preparation, or the analysis of literary texts and essays.

Each lesson is engaging, goal-oriented, and tailored to the individual student.

Ciao! أهلاً! I’m a native speaker of Arabic and Italian, born to Egyptian roots and raised in Italy — two cultures that shaped my love for languages and teaching.
I hold a PhD in Italian Literature and a Master’s in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language, and I’ve spent years helping students of all levels discover the joy of communication through culture, stories, and real-life conversation.
In my classes, you’ll learn more than grammar — you’ll live the language:
🇮🇹 Feel the rhythm of Italian words through literature, music, and daily expressions.
🇪🇬 Dive into the beauty of Arabic, from everyday phrases to the poetry that shaped a civilization.
Whether you’re studying for exams, traveling, or simply passionate about new cultures, I’ll tailor every lesson to your goals, pace, and interests — with patience, positivity, and a smile.
Let’s make learning a bridge between worlds — and enjoy every step of the journey together! 🌍✨

Ever dreamed of mastering the language of art and gastronomy, or simply impressing locals by ordering your meal in perfect Italian?
I’m Mario, a qualified and experienced Italian teacher with a Master’s degree in Italian Studies. Specializing in contrastive grammar, I leverage my fluency in English and French to make learning Italian intuitive for you. My lessons are for all ages and levels, patient, engaging, and fully customized to fit your unique goals and pace.

Teaching style
I prefer a hybrid style because there is no single method for everyone; I apply a specific methodology to all learners with different objectives and learning needs. I like to encourage students to self-correct and to practice structures through both writing and conversation. I offer conversation, listening, reading, and writing classes.

I am a qualified and experienced teacher of languages and I offer tuition in Italian and Latin
to adults and children. My tuition will be always tailored to your individual needs.

I have classroom teaching experience as well as private tutoring. In the last 14 years I have privately tutored adults and children at all levels. I hold a Honours Degree in Modern Foreign Languages and Literaure, I am very passionate about education, languages and foreign cultures.

Whether you are beginner, intermediate or advanced, whether you want to learn Italian for business or pleasure, I can assist you to learn Italian in a friendly and informal atmosphere.

I always want my students to enjoy their lessons and I will always encourage you to have a proactive approach.

I will provide all the material, you don't have to buy any books.

Russian literature is captivating, complex, beautiful... But also essential for understanding Russian language, culture and even its current situation. As Yevtushenko said, "In Russia a poet is more than just a poet". And this is why learning more about Russian literature is essential. As a scholar in the area of Russian studies, I've written quite a few articles on that matter, and I'm happy to share my expertise with you!

I understand how many students think and why they get stuck, while teachers often struggle with this.
I can therefore convey complex material in a personal way, using examples, visualizations, comparisons, etc.

I often hear after an explanation:
- Oooooh, now I get it!
- Why doesn't the teacher just say this?
- That actually makes sense, yes...

My way of teaching is purely aimed at helping with things that are difficult or unclear.
We sit down and I ask, "What do you need to know for the test?" Then I'm assigned a few theory blocks, and we quickly figure out where things are going wrong, and I make sure it's clear.

A lesson usually lasts until all the material is understood. If that's too much, we usually stop after 1 or 1.5 hours, or when we run out of energy.

Making Latin fun is a herculean task, but if it becomes digestible, even the frustration that often accompanies it will be alleviated.

Let's review declensions together, learn how to easly recognize verb tenses, and learn how to use the dictionary effectively: it must be our best ally.

Perfect grammar and a good command of vocabulary will be our starting point for achieving sensible, error-free translations.
And if your weakness is literature, let's get down to business: get to know the authors, read the texts, take some quizzes.

Nothing is impossible.

I have been working as a private tutor in secondary education for over eight years, teaching English, mathematics and Latin.

Latin is more than just grammar. I also help with text comprehension and the analysis of Latin poems.

This course is designed for students of theology, seminarians, and anyone interested in reading Biblical and Patristic texts in the original Ancient Greek.

The lessons focus on understanding the language used in the New Testament, the Septuagint, and the writings of the Church Fathers. Students will develop a strong foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and translation.

Topics include:
• Ancient Greek grammar and syntax
• Reading passages from the New Testament
• Vocabulary used in theological texts
• Translation and interpretation of short passages

I teach Latin and Ancient Greek through a reading-based approach that brings the languages to life. Rather than memorising rules in isolation, students build grammatical understanding and vocabulary by engaging with authentic texts — discovering how the language actually works in context. Along the way, we explore the rich cultural and historical worlds behind the words, connecting language learning with the ideas, stories, and societies that shaped the classical world.

For Italian, I focus on practical communication and real-world listening skills. Using podcasts and conversational practice alongside structured grammar resources, students gain confidence in speaking and understanding Italian as it is used in everyday life. My aim is to make language learning both effective and enjoyable, helping students progress steadily while developing a genuine connection with the language.
