Private In-Home and Online Latin Tutoring
Receive personally tailored Latin lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations.Varsity Tutors can get you set up with a top-tier Columbus Latin tutor in as little as 24 hours. Though Latin is considered a "dead" language, meaning no current community active speaks it, that doesn't mean it isn't valuable. It's the source of a significant amount of the English language and forms the base of modern Romance languages, making its study useful for today's language students the world over. It's also valuable for those considering careers in law, medicine, scientific research, theology, and more, as terminology in these fields in many cases hasn't deviated from its Latin roots. For those hoping to improve their skills in this arena, working with Columbus Latin tutors can be a wise investment.
What is the upside of finding a Columbus Latin tutor near me?
There is an array of benefits to working with a Columbus Latin tutor. One of the most significant benefits is that you wind up with an expert in the language on your side. Though the language is not necessarily more complex than modern languages, it is distinct enough that its study can be challenging. For instance, gendered nouns are nothing new to those who study Romance languages. However, unlike Romance languages, Latin doesn't rely on suffixes or gendered articles to determine the gender of a noun. Instead, it buckets nouns into classifications of feminine, masculine, and neuter nouns, some of which may seem intuitive but others of which require rote memorization. Another facet that can be confusing to modern linguists relates to sentence structure. In most of today's languages, word order determines our understanding of meaning. "The girl touched the cat," means something different than, "The cat touched the girl." In Latin, however, the meaning is dictated by the ending, or inflection, of a word. These sorts of distinctions can be confusing and require extensive study in order to develop a full comprehension of the language.
This is part of what can make Columbus Latin tutoring so valuable. Your instructor thoroughly assessed to ensure they are experts in the field and possess the communication skills necessary to guide students through the material effectively. They can develop lesson plans to help you develop a strong foundational understanding of the language and then introduce more complicated concepts from there. Should you have questions along the way, they can provide answers and issue clarifications. This sort of one-on-one attention is valuable and can be difficult to come by in a classroom setting, making these services particularly valuable for high school students.
Another benefit of working with Columbus Latin tutors is that lesson plans can be tailored to your individual learning needs. One of the drawbacks to traditional classroom settings is that your teacher is constrained by the limits of the school year. There are so many days in the year or semester, and they have a specific amount of material to get through. They can't necessarily slow down to make sure every student is fully up to speed before moving on to the next topic if they're going to get through all the material, and they certainly can't skip ahead just because one student is bored. Your Columbus Latin tutor, on the other hand, doesn't have to play by the same rules. If you're not feeling challenged by your current curriculum at school, there's no reason they can't come up with new lesson plans to push you to excel. If you're struggling, though, they can allocate additional time to a subject or come up with different tactics to explain an idea to help you get to where you need to be to succeed. These sessions are all about you and setting you up to do your best.
Columbus Latin tutoring can also be customized to meet your learning preferences. Research has shown that, while everyone can technically learn from any sort of instruction method, we all have certain preferences in terms of how we are taught. When those preferences are met, we tend to pay more attention and better retain the information presented. Your instructor can take those preferences into consideration when designing their lesson plans. For example, some people prefer to be engaged in a more active fashion. They like to have an idea presented to them, and then actively apply that idea to a problem. Others are more reflective learners. They like to be presented with an idea, and then explore how it works. Columbus Latin tutors might approach an active learner by explaining how inflection works and then asking them to write out five similar sentences, while they might ask the reflective learner to write out five different types of sentences while explaining the distinctions. It's the ability to customize lesson plans like this that can make these sessions so effective.
An additional benefit to Columbus Latin tutoring is the flexibility in engagement it offers. When we find a private instructor for you, we will take your availability into account to identify someone who can meet when it's convenient for you. If the online option is what works best for you, you can plug in your headphones at the campus library at Capital University, or you can curl up in your favorite pajamas on the couch at home. As long as you have an internet connection and can focus, you can access our Live Learning Platform to meet your instructor and take advantage of video chat, a virtual whiteboard, document sharing, and more. This flexibility and convenience is something you can't get from many other preparation services, making it a great solution for students in med and law school. If you'd prefer to meet up in person, you can still coordinate with your instructor to select a convenient location that's close to work or school and a setting that's conducive to focus.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
Today, the student wanted to work through his homework translation passage for next week, as well as preparing for a quiz on Monday and a test on Tuesday. So, we started out with the translation, a passage on Ulysses and the test of the bow in Ithaca. He did pretty well, and I helped him come up with some mnemonics with various English derivatives from the Latin vocab. His verb morphology was mostly on point. After the translation, we worked on third declension adjective endings and pairing them with nouns of other declension, as will be on the upcoming quiz. I suggested more practice of the same type, testing himself and then checking it against his notes.

Reviewed 1-4 declensions, and conjugating verbs in the present and imperfect tenses in the active and passive. Continued with learning the future tense and the imperfect tense for "sum, esse."

Student practiced translating principle parts of these verbs and declining above-mentioned nouns. Student agreed to continue practicing/reviewing these forms in order to begin translating next week.

Today we finished chapter 12 and began working on chapter 13. Chapter 13 introduces comparative adjectives, so the first part of the session was spent in going over these, with special emphasis on the commonly used irregular comparatives. The reading for chapter 12 was somewhat on the short side, so we were able to finish it all in one stretch. Next session we will do the exercises.
