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

About Me
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 25 languages, the ones that I am most comfortable speaking are English, German, French, Polish and Danish.
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.

I have been teaching physical chemistry to advanced pupils for 3 years, and 5 of my pupils have won the Russian Chemical Olympiad in 2021 and 2022, amongst other regional Olympiads.Reviews (1)
Très bonne introduction à la langue latine avec de très bons exemples et une plongée immédiate dans la langue vivante. Je me réjouis de poursuivre.
You will learn the most important theoretical aspects of physical chemistry necessary for solving problems at National and International Chemical Olympiads and put them to use in a myriad of problems from previous Olympiads. We will walk through the solutions for problems from the Olympiads of different countries: Canada, Germany, France, Russia, Poland, and others. All problems will be translated into English, so you will be able to access material that your peers can't. Homework will include solving other problems from past Olympiads and doing simpler practice problems.
Additionally, we will look at the practical applications of the theories and what philosophical implications they might have.

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.
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.

Carlotta
Latin tutoring for secondary students (Dutch / Latin / German / English)
Salvē, my name is Carlotta and I have 5 years of experience in tutoring. These now take place in Leuven, where I live in a room, as well as in Maldegem, where I come from. Since April 2022, I have been taking courses in Latin language acquisition at the Schola Latīna, an Italian private school that uses the comprehensible input (CI) method. This means that all classes are taught exclusively in the target language, allowing me to not only translate Latin, but also speak and write Latin. Since no Flemish school expects active language skills, I will of course not do this during the 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!
Cūrā ut valeās,
Carlotta

Private lessons in French - Latin - History - Methodology - English
Hello,
I am an experienced French teacher in upper secondary. I am used to helping and supporting students or adults in difficulty. Moreover, I graduated from a master's degree in French and Romance Languages and Letters at the Free University of Brussels and holder of an AESS aggregation in French as a mother tongue.
I offer a French course with a particular and personalized follow-up. Indeed, the course will adapt to the learner's requests by identifying his gaps in the chosen subject and by creating a learning path adapted to his needs.
The course can either respond to a specific request on a subject or a specific objective to be achieved, or aim to improve the overall level of French, both in terms of reading comprehension, oral comprehension, written expression or oral expression. The follow-up can also offer a course aimed at developing general culture (whether literary or artistic). I can also help you with basic mathematics, English, Latin, writing a CV or a cover letter, writing a job, advanced use of Word, Powerpoint, Scribus or Gimp software. Finally, I can offer you research advice or general methodology.
Appointments can be one-off or structured as a constant follow-up for a given period.
I remain at your disposal for any possible question,
Silvia
Cogito ergo sum. La bellezza della lingua e letteratura latina
Nel latino risiedono le radici non solo delle lingue romanze, ma anche della cultura europea.
Imparare questa lingua e la sua letteratura può essere una sfida estremamente arricchente ed entusiasmante.
Le mie lezioni mirano ad offrire gli strumenti per tradurre e apprezzare al meglio i testi latini, sottolineando come parole e strutture latine sono tutt'ora vive nelle lingue moderne.

Latin, English and German tutoring for students, German and English for pre-school children
I am a high school teacher with many years of experience and I offer lessons in the following subjects:
Latin
English
DaF for children
German tutoring for students and preschoolers, as well as kindergarten children
Does your child have difficulties at school? Do you want your child to improve their school grades and enjoy Latin, German and English?
Does your child go to kindergarten or preschool and need more support with speaking German?
I enjoy teaching pre-school and kindergarten children very much, as I have numerous teaching methods on how to capture their attention and through games and creative approaches (painting, handicrafts, singing) easily achieve the best results.
I have also been passionate about teaching Latin for years: Latin is not only a subject at school, but also a window into the world of other languages and ancient cultures. Latin also helps you learn German and English better.

Latin Grammar and Literature - pass your exams and expand your knowledge of Classics with Dario
Ciao everyone!
I am Dario and I am a licensed Italian Latin teacher. I studied Latin in high school and both in my Bachelor and Master at the University of Bologna, historically recognized as the best Italian university for Latin learning.
I am properly trained and experienced to tackle different learning needs.
Do you judge Latin the most boring subject on the planet and ask yourself why you need to take on that exam? I will make you discover the hidden beauty of this language and its many contacts with contemporary European idioms. Do you want to go deeper into a culture and literature that fascinates you, maybe earning some acquaintance with those weird but kinda familiar words? I will let you in the most fundamental historical, linguistic and cultural heritage for our European civilization.
I can teach in English and French - and of course Italian, my mother tongue :) - to get with you into the Ancient Latin World.
Grammar, literature or history: contact me if you want Latin universe to have no secrets for you!

Latin and Italian Class: Practicing and Learning easily
Latin is fascinating and, despite its reputation of being a dead language, it can still be useful today. However, being unique, it is not always easy to understand its grammar and syntax and translating from Latin can be hard. Having studied it since when I was thirteen and with two cum-laude degrees in Classics, I know Latin deeply. Moreover, I have experience in giving classes to high school students, therefore I am aware of its difficulties and I know how to tackle possible hurdles in the most appropriate way for each student.
Apart from Latin, I am an Italian native speaker, trained in Italian language and culture. If you want to strengthen or practice your Italian, I am the right person!
Feel free to contact me if you need help in learning/practicing these two beautiful languages!

Innovative Latin courses - Teaching through games, workshops and projects - Orberg Methods, Cambridge Latin Course, study of films, comics, books
Certified teacher of Classics, with eight years of teaching experience in college, I am passionate about ancient cultures. I spent my childhood reading books on mythology and watching documentaries on Rome or Ancient Greece, Egypt, the Vikings, the Mayas, the Incas or the Aztecs.
I taught five years in rural college in Brittany then in the Hauts de France then three years in REP+ in Saint-Denis de La Réunion.
I also gave private lessons in French literature to students wishing to refresh their skills or prepare for exams.
Each year, I have taken up the same challenge: to introduce a new cohort of students to Latin, to motivate and inspire them with a new approach to Latin based on the observation of their environment where Latin is present everywhere, the pedagogy of project, the teaching of Latin as a living language, games, theater and the production of plastic works.
Passion but also rigor, benevolence, adaptability and creativity are the main qualities that appeal to my teaching and that have made so many students embark on my Latin classes and never with regret!
I offer beginner to intermediate level Latin lessons. These courses are ideal for children but will also delight the big children that we still are sometimes.
Here are some examples of activities practiced in innovative teaching:
Creation of games on the origin of Latin languages, decoding of films or books based on mythology, introduction to Latin thanks to the spells of Harry Potter, workshops for the translation of Latin proverbs or quotations, creation of sketches in Latin.
In general, I offer an à la carte course, according to your tastes and your expectations. Teaching is done online using Zoom. We get to know each other during a first lesson so that I can understand your needs and desires but also your personality, then I offer you a structured, progressive and personalized program that is both rigorous and attractive in order to help you discover or progress in Latin.
Don't hesitate, get started!
Vale!

Private lessons in Latin - Greek - ancient culture - Hebrew
If you want to learn the secrets of French, its complicated spelling, its sometimes obscure grammar, the history of its vocabulary ... do Latin (and Greek!)!
Moreover, a Latin course is compulsory at the University when studying Romanesque diapers (French, Italian, Spanish, etc.), ancient history and archeology.
At the same time, you will discover the foundations of our civilization which has deep roots in Antiquity.
I taught Latin and Greek in secondary 1 (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.) and 2 in the cantons of Vaud and Geneva: I can help prepare for exams.
