Boston Latin Tutoring FAQ
If you or your student is studying Latin and would like additional support, contact Varsity Tutors to learn about Boston Latin tutoring. This supplemental instruction can help you as you learn Latin, whether you are studying at a local college, high school, or independently. Offered both online and in-person, it is easy to schedule a meeting with an instructor that works for any busy schedule. Even if you work full time or take other classes, we can help you find a Latin teacher at your convenience. Instructors can provide individual attention and mentorship to help you feel more confident in your ability to read and translate Latin.
What can I gain from working with a Boston Latin tutor near me?
While Latin is no longer a spoken language, knowing Latin can set a solid foundation for learning other Romance languages—languages such as Spanish, French, and Italian, among others. Since these languages stemmed from Latin during their creation, they all share characteristics in their grammar, structure, and vocabulary. The more you know about Latin, the more easily you can pick up these languages later. Being able to translate Latin can also benefit people pursuing careers in history, medicine, or law since these industries use many Latin phrases in their terminology.
Boston Latin tutoring can help provide you with a stronger foundation in Latin, whether you are studying for academic, professional, or personal reasons. Your instructor can mentor you through the learning process and answer any questions you may ask about the language. As experts in the subject matter, they can help you with anything from inflections to translating Virgil's The Aeneid. All instructors pass through a strict vetting process before they begin teaching—this ensures that their qualifications, background, and Latin expertise all meet high standards. When you connect with a Latin instructor using our services, you can feel confident that your teacher is among the best.
Your instructor can also provide one-on-one attention that you may not receive in a traditional classroom. If you are studying Latin at a local school, for example, your teacher may not be able to support you at the same level as a private instructor. As the only student in a meeting, your student is the sole priority of their Boston Latin tutor. Their goals, strengths, and concerns can all be directly addressed. Students in private instruction never need to worry about classroom distractions or feeling embarrassed to ask questions in front of other learners. An instructor can easily adjust the pace or content of a lesson to suit your needs.
After connecting with an instructor, when and where can I meet with my Boston Latin tutor?
You can meet with your Boston Latin tutor either online or in-person. Whichever kind of meeting you choose, you will talk to and learn from a qualified instructor—an academic mentor who is willing and able to answer your questions. As the only student in a meeting, you can choose the location where you study, eliminating distractions and maximizing your time.
Online Boston Latin tutoring is especially customizable since you can access your instructor from any location with an internet connection. Log into your meeting from your home office, a library like the Cambridge Public Library, or a local coffee shop. Wherever you work best can be your classroom. This also makes scheduling easier, since you no longer need to factor in a commute when trying to meet with an instructor.
To meet with your instructor online, you will use the Live Learning Platform—a digital classroom where all online training is held. This platform is designed to be user-friendly and help students engage with their studies. It contains tools such as video chat, a virtual whiteboard, and a shared document editor that make the learning process more dynamic. Using video chat, for example, you can see, hear, and respond to your instructor live. You can ask questions as they occur and receive direct feedback on your Latin abilities. Not only does this help you form an interpersonal connection with your instructor—but it also helps you curb bad habits early by working directly with an individual mentor.
Takes notes as your instructor teaches using the virtual whiteboard. Just as you would a physical whiteboard or chalkboard, you can write what your instructor writes to stay organized, memorize declension charts, and perfect your spelling of Latin phrases. Study your notes later to further improve your retention. Even though you are not in a classroom, the Live Learning Platform combines the amenities of a traditional classroom environment with the convenience of online instruction. Learning from Boston Latin tutors gives students like you the best of both worlds!
If online instruction does not work for you, you also have the option to study with Boston Latin tutors in person. Set a time and location that works for both of you, then meet with your instructor to complete lessons and activities that support your Latin learning. Whether you opt for in-person or online instruction, Boston Latin tutoring can help you feel more confident as you study the language.
For additional support in your Latin studies, you can also consider enrolling in an online class. We make it easy to find an online Latin class that works for your schedule. Using a virtual online classroom, you connect with both an expert instructor and a network of other Latin learners. Both individual and group instruction can increase your fluency and your confidence in Latin.
