We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations.Consider contacting Varsity Tutors to find an experienced Sacramento Latin tutor who can provide the guidance you or your student needs to pursue your language learning goals. Whether you're a beginner looking to get to know the basics or your student could use a refresher before entering their next Latin course, we can connect you with a language instructor who can provide expert study sessions. Available online and in person, personalized Sacramento Latin tutoring can be a great opportunity that can help you as you strive towards your language goals.
How can a Sacramento Latin tutor near me help me pursue my fluency goals?
Fluency in the Latin language can be invaluable in a variety of ways. Though it is considered a dead language, it is used in multiple fields of profession and study, including medicine, theology, philosophy, science, and law. Studying Latin can be useful in preparing you to learn other languages, such as Italian, French, and Spanish. Regardless of why you're interested in becoming fluent in the Latin language, private instruction can support you as you learn.
Sacramento Latin tutors can work with you in a one-on-one setting where your growth is the top priority. Your instructor can take the time to create a customized lesson plan that revolves around your individual needs. They can assess your or your student's skill level, strengths, and areas of opportunity to better cater to your learning requirements. Your language mentor can work patiently with you at a pace that works for you, whether you quickly nail the pronunciation of common Latin phrases or you could use a little extra time understanding the inflections that are crucial to the language. You can stop and ask for help whenever you need without worrying about holding up anyone else.
A private instructor can assess you or your student to identify any existing gaps in your current Latin knowledge. These gaps can make it more challenging to fully understand any new information. Your mentor can work with you to fill in those gaps, which can help you to form a stronger foundation upon which you can expand your proficiency in the Latin language.
Sacramento Latin tutoring can incorporate unique learning materials based on your learning tendencies. Your instructor understands that your learning needs differ from others, allowing them to adjust their approach to help you interact with the material on a deeper level. For instance, if you are more of a visual learner, your instructor can help you expand your knowledge of the three genders that nouns can be classified in by creating and reviewing flashcards with you. Maybe your student enjoys reading and in-depth discussions. Their educator can provide Latin prose and lead them in conversations that can help them better compare Latin culture to their own.
Sacramento Latin tutors can help you or your student circumvent the most common pitfalls associated with learning a new language. Through language immersion and intensive review, you can build your confidence in your ability to communicate with others in Latin. This technique can help you pick up on the nuances of Latin grammar, such as when to use a pronoun along with a verb and adjectives. Your instructor can provide opportunities for you to practice speaking, reading, and writing in Latin, which can help you improve your pronunciation and make the language feel more natural for you.

By studying online with your language mentor, you don't have to stress about making it to a physical classroom. Just set up your computer and log on to pursue your goals.

We can connect you with Sacramento Latin tutors in your area who can meet with you wherever you'd like, whether that's at home, the coffee shop by your office, or the North Natomas branch of the Sacramento Public Library.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
This session, we focused on the chapter that covers the Latin number system, and some related uses of the ablative and genitive cases. We worked through the student's list of questions from his own work on the chapter, and the accompanying exercises and readings. Many of his questions resulted from trying to make sense of sentences that lack context or are somewhat more abstract than concrete.

In our session, the student and I began working on his take home exam. The exam was multiple choice and included questions on parsing, translation, and prose composition. He used my dictionary to look up unfamiliar vocabulary and we used my Latin grammar textbook to review cases, noun declension charts, and verb conjugation charts when necessary. He was very nervous at the beginning of our session but became more confident as we worked through the exam questions and he realized that he could answer most of them with minimal help from me. For many questions, he was able to rule out two of the four possible answer choices so I simply helped him choose between the two remaining options. Working through the exam helped him realize how much Latin he knows and boosted his confidence.

The student has a Latin test tomorrow, so we took this time to review. He translated problem sentences and I had him identify the pronoun and how it functioned in each. I gave him some tips on how to study and memorize the various pronouns.

Keeping up a strong streak with translating, the student showed a lot of initiative and connection of concepts in working on his homework tonight, even though it was English into Latin, which is especially difficult. His vocabulary focus should now include learning all four parts of verbs to enable him to use the perfect tenses, but he's doing a good job recognizing perfect forms based on the personal endings.
