Private Latin 1 Tutoring
Receive personally tailored Latin 1 lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.Latin is a historical language, which was initially spoken in ancient Rome and its surrounding areas. The language grew in influence as the Roman Empire spread across the globe. Today, Latin is considered a dead language because it no longer has any native speakers. However, it is still often taught to students at a variety of grade levels. The language is still important despite not having native speakers because of its historical significance and its influence on many of the most commonly spoken languages in the modern world. However, Latin can be a challenging language to learn. If you'd like some extra help with your attempts to learn Latin 1, then you may want to consider working with a Latin 1 tutor. Contact Varsity Tutors to learn more about the various Latin 1 tutoring options that are available.
Since Latin 1 is an introduction to the language, working with a tutor on this subject is a great way to develop your foundational Latin knowledge. Your tutor can help you get started with your study of the language by covering topics like:
- Noun and verb endings
- Latin vocabulary and English derivatives
- Reading sentences written in Latin
- Going over grammar terms in English
Working with a Latin 1 tutor is an effective way to develop these skills because it gives you a chance to meet regularly with an expert on Latin in a one-on-one learning environment. This intimate academic setting means that your tutor can create a customized lesson plan for you that's based on your unique needs, goals, and learning style. For example, if you'd like to learn more about the history of the Latin language, your tutor can spend extra time with you on that. Similarly, if you have a Latin 1 test coming up, your tutor can spend extra time covering the topics you'll be tested on to help get you ready.
