Plato and Virgil at your home: an introduction to the classical languages

46 € /h

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?

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.

Hello learners :) I've been working as a Greek tutor for almost a year now, and I'm excited to launch my new project: Greek Reading class! If you already know how to read in Greek, and you just need some extra engaging and stimulating reading practice to either upgrade your level or just enhance your vocabulary and boost your confidence while reading Greek, this class is for you! In each class you'll be given the chance to practice reading though different stories, articles, book chapters etc. This class is not limited to just reading, but together we'll try to translate any written text and engage in either small and guided discussion or "choose the correct answer" type of questions. In this way, I'm aiming to boost each student's confidence regarding Greek comprehension.

Why this class is best for you?:
As a foreign language learner myself, I know that practicing reading can be a bit demanding and time consuming, due to our everyday responsibilities! But with this class is a guarantee that you'll be dedicating at least one hour per week to practice reading with low effort (material will be provided + guidance by me).

If that class speaks to you I'm more than glad to get to know you and practice reading together!

I am a professional Greek language tutor from Greece, specializing in practical Greek for travelers, expats, and adults who want to communicate confidently in real-life situations.
My lessons are designed for learners who don’t want just grammar — they want to use Greek naturally: ordering food, asking for directions, socializing, handling everyday situations, and feeling comfortable while traveling or living in Greece.

What makes my lessons different
-Clear structure & personalized planning
-Each student follows a tailored syllabus based on their goals (travel, short stays, frequent visits, or relocation).
-Focus on speaking from day one
-You will actively speak Greek in every lesson, even as a beginner.
-Practical vocabulary & real-life scenarios (Airports, hotels, cafés, shops, transportation, emergencies, and social interactions.)
-Simple explanations, no confusion
-Grammar is explained clearly
-Supportive and professional teaching style
-Calm, organized, and motivating — ideal for adult learners.

Teaching background
I combine academic studies with hands-on teaching experience:
-Teaching Greek as a foreign language online to international students and at a Private School
-Ongoing professional development through educational seminars and training

If your goal is to travel to Greece and actually use the language with confidence, I will guide you step by step with a clear plan and practical focus.

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.

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.

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 believe that everyone has the potential to master a new language. Don't give up, even if it seems difficult at first! Many things become much easier when explained a little differently. I myself am passionate about languages and am happy to help if something seems a bit challenging.
My native languages are both Greek and German, so I grew up bilingual and have spoken Greek since I was little.
I always place great emphasis on individual needs so that we can get the best possible results!

I have been successfully tutoring for over 8 years, and since 2020 I have been offering online tutoring throughout Germany.
A-levels in Latin, studies in translation - I'll show you how to master grammar and Latin texts!

Latin doesn't have to be dry theory - mnemonic devices make learning much easier.
You will also learn what to pay attention to at the beginning of a translation and what Latin poetry has in common with modern languages.

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.

Course description: Learn Greek with structure, creativity and joy!
Do you want to learn Greek, but are intimidated by the complicated grammar? In my lessons, I'll show you that the path to learning Greek is logical, creative, and above all, achievable!
What does my teaching look like?
My approach is communicative and student-centered. Thanks to my studies in theatre studies at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, we use techniques that go beyond traditional memorization. We work intensively on:
Practical communication: We talk from the very first hour so that you can act confidently on vacation or in everyday life.
Pronunciation & Melody: Greek is a musical language. Together we will perfect your accent.
Structured Grammar: As a holder of the Goethe-Zertifikat C2, I explain Greek grammar to you by comparing it to German. This way you will understand the "why" behind the rules much faster.
What to expect:
Individual course design: Whether you are a beginner or advanced, we follow your pace.
Diverse material: We work with texts, dialogues, songs and current media reports.
Cultural context: As a native speaker, I will teach you not only the language, but also the mentality and traditions of Greece.
About me:
With five years of experience teaching German, I know exactly where native German speakers usually stumble. My goal is to take away your fear of making mistakes and create a relaxed learning atmosphere where you feel comfortable.
Let's immerse ourselves together in the fascinating world of Greek! I'm looking forward to our first lesson together.
