Award-Winning Private Latin Tutoring in Melrose Park, IL

"In this session we went over a translation passage that will show up on the student's test this week. We did a detailed translation, focusing on accuracy, especially for verb tenses and noun cases. The student wrote out the translation she did, so there is something to study from. I also gave some pointers as to how to study for a translation test."

"Today, the student and I spent some time reviewing overall grammatical concepts for her upcoming test. We focused primarily on different types of subordinate clauses; she definitely seemed to understand these better than the last time we met. She also went through a translation she needed to complete for Monday; again, I thought this went better than her previous translation, and she did a great job parsing some tricky subordinate clauses. For our lesson tomorrow, I asked her to send me a scan of her last quiz and to see if she can obtain a study guide from her teacher. I think that she does well with broad concepts, but sometimes has trouble with details on her tests, so having more information about the teacher's specific expectations will be most helpful. "
