Private In-Home and Online Latin 4 Tutoring
Receive personally tailored Latin 4 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.How can Latin 4 tutoring help you?
More so than lower-level courses in Latin, Latin 4 concentrates heavily on the translation of classical Latin passages, and such translation requires a mastery of Latin grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. Latin 4 does not concentrate on school Latin, or simplified prose designed around a lesson, but rather real Latin prose and poetry from some of the great authors who wrote in Latin, including Caesar, Cicero, Tacitus, Ovid, and others. Because each writer has his or her own unique style, which may or may not adhere to the syntactical and grammatical rules you were taught in earlier Latin classes, you may find yourself wanting some extra help as you navigate through your Latin 4 class. Varsity Tutors will help you find a certified Latin 4 tutor, who can address virtually any difficulty you have in your Latin 4 class.
Success in your Latin 4 class requires a strong understanding of the grammatical and stylistic structures found in Latin writing. While you may have learned how to decline nouns and how to conjugate verbs in all the moods and tenses in your past classes, you may need to review forgotten concepts or to clarify concepts with which you still have difficulty in order to be successful in the course. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors will assess your personal profile and match you with a Latin 4 tutor, who can help you identify and address any areas of syntax, grammar, or vocabulary with which you still need help. Using teaching methods tailored to your own particular needs and learning style, your tutor can help you understand all of the concepts that are essential for translating Latin well.
