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.Let Varsity Tutors connect you or a student in your family with a professional Oklahoma City Latin tutor. You could be studying Latin to enhance your career in law, science, or medicine, or perhaps you would simply like to have another language under your belt. Whether you are just getting started with Latin or have been studying for a while and want to become even more familiar with the language, Oklahoma City Latin tutors can help you reach for your goals.
How can I benefit from working with an Oklahoma City Latin tutor near me?
Latin is a useful language for many students to learn because, even though it is referred to as a "dead" language that is no longer spoken by any community, it is the precursor of the Romance languages. This means Latin can serve as a gateway language to others like Spanish, Italian, and French. Native English speakers often find that they have an easier time learning Latin because it is the inspiration for so many English words. Of course, this doesn't mean that becoming fluent is a total walk in the park. With help from Oklahoma City Latin tutoring, you can navigate the challenges of learning a new language like building your vocabulary, understanding inflections, and working with adjectives. This form of instruction can make it easier to pursue goals like fulfilling academic requirements in school or enhancing a career that asks you to read texts that have been written in Latin.
A primary feature of working with Oklahoma City Latin tutors is the ability to interact with your teacher one-on-one. This personalized form of instruction allows you to enjoy your educator's undivided attention. Your academic mentor is able to get to know your learning habits and academic needs to create a complete lesson plan designed to enhance your language-learning journey. During sessions, your instructor can gauge your progress with the language and decide whether you have mastered a specific concept or should spend more time working in that area before moving on. As you build your Latin knowledge and skills, your educator can continuously modify your lesson plan to reflect your growth.
Your Oklahoma City Latin tutor can utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help you or your student become knowledgeable and skilled in the Latin language. Let's say you are an aural learner who absorbs information best through spoken communication. Your educator can prepare short lectures or discuss important concepts with you then allow you to confirm your understanding. This format can be especially helpful when going over concepts like adjective-noun agreement. If you are a visual learner, your teacher could try flashcards to help familiarize you with common phrases or essential vocabulary words in Latin.
While working with your private instructor, you can tackle various aspects of Latin, including basic vocabulary words as well as the use of nouns and verbs. For instance, you could go over the classification of nouns as masculine, feminine, or neuter. Masculine and feminine nouns are generally classified based on their associations with each gender, while neuter nouns have no association with either gender. Your educator could also explore Latin inflections, which are the endings of words necessary for grasping the meaning of a sentence. Inflections are as important to the meaning of words and sentences in Latin as word sequence is in English. Your academic mentor can spend a lot of time familiarizing you with Latin inflections and the importance of focusing more on the end of words than the beginning so the meaning of sentences can become a lot clearer.
Another amazing benefit of personal instruction is the ability to receive in-the-moment feedback from your mentor. If you are trying to say a specific word like "bellum," for instance, and you are pronouncing it incorrectly, your educator can catch it before this habit takes root. Your teacher can also use strategies to help you remember words that are similar to their English equivalents like "finis," which means finish in English or "rapidus," which means rapid. If you have questions, the individualized nature of this instruction allows your academic mentor to provide immediate answers so you always feel supported.
How can I work Oklahoma City Latin tutoring into my schedule?
The flexibility of Oklahoma City Latin tutoring makes it easy for you or your student to study with a personal instructor whenever you choose. We do the work of finding an academic mentor who can teach at your skill level and also accommodate your schedule. This allows you to focus less on making adjustments to your schedule and more on building your Latin skills.
You or your student can pick between online and in-person tutoring as instructional options. By choosing online tutoring, you can interact with your educator using the Live Learning Platform. In this platform, you can use video chat to communicate face-to-face with your instructor. A virtual whiteboard is available that allows your academic mentor to go over different types of nouns like "vir" for man, "femina" for woman, and "nomen" for name. Using the document editor, your teacher could ensure you know how to write sentences using the proper structure. Recordings of your sessions make it easy to go back and jog your memory of the right way to pronounce specific words.
Some students prefer to interact via in-person tutoring. If this is the preference of you or your student, we can find Oklahoma City Latin tutors in your area who are able to meet at your house, a local coffee shop, the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library, or any other location you select.
It's also good to know that Varsity Tutors provides online Latin courses. These courses are educator-led in a virtual classroom, giving you the chance to communicate in real time with other students learning the language. If you have a busy schedule, don't worry. Multiple course sections allow you to choose one that suits your availability.

The student is right on target with vocab and participles. Next time we will either be doing Sententiae, Antiquae, or little stories. If little stories, he will have to send me a pdf of the document.

This session, I worked with Student A on the first declension, as his class has moved on from learning verbal material to finally learning to use nouns as well. We worked through the workbook exercises and then looked ahead to the quiz so he would be ready for that on Thursday.
I worked with Students B and C on the new lesson in their book, continuing to work on nouns of the neuter gender. We worked on memorizing these new words, as well as looking at English derivatives and some of the exercises in the textbook.

Today I taught the student how to conjugate third conjugation verbs in the present active system as well as in the perfect active tense and imperative mood. She picked it up quickly and knows that she has a few more paradigms to learn. We used the new conjugations she just learned to do some English - Latin translations, which I felt would help her more with learning the paradigms than just doing some Latin to English; I think that constructing sentences in Latin at this stage is more beneficial than remembering what person, number, and tense a given verb is. She does really well with English to Latin sentences.

The student and I began by reviewing personal endings. He got 5/6 correct. Next, he translated seven conjugated vocabulary words and four sentences. For next week, I'm sending along a vocab list. He should try to review the list and his class notes for five minutes each day if possible. He did a great job today, concentrating hard and translating the most complex sentences he has yet.

We reviewed the student's translation assignment first. He did seem a little rusty coming out from break, but picked up very quickly again. He has a quiz on Wednesday, so we practiced for that. We went over the 4 verb tenses he knows in all the different persons and numbers. It took him a little while to recall, but he definitely knows all his materials.

The student truly brought his A-game to our session this afternoon! He did a superb job mastering the tricky grammatical concept of indirect statement, which depends on the Latin grammar of infinitives with which we began the session. He had made quite a few mistakes with the work he had done prior to the session. We worked through those mistakes together, and it was clear to me by the end of the session that he had a strong grasp of infinitives and of indirect statement. Great job tonight!
