If you are interested in learning Latin, you may benefit from contacting Varsity Tutors and signing up for Virginia Beach Latin lessons. There are a few reasons why you might be interested in learning Latin. Latin words are a major source of roots for terms in technology and science. As such, Latin can be useful for students who are entering into careers in theology, medicine, scientific research, and the legal profession. Understanding Latin can be useful in terms of vocabulary for students who are interested in attending law or medical school.
Latin is considered a precursor for many of the Romance languages, including Romanian, Italian, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Thus, learning Latin can be a valuable skill if you are attempting to learn a Romance language because of how closely they are related.
Latin was initially discovered in Latium, which was in the region of Central Italy where Rome is located. As the Romans began to develop literature, the Latin language began to spread out on two different tracks. Classical Latin was distinguished by its formality and elegance and it was largely influenced by Greek, especially in its vocabulary, grammar, and style. Vulgar Latin was the spoken form of the language and it was spread throughout the Roman Empire by by soldiers. The Romance languages are descendants of Vulgar Latin. Vulgar Latin was different from Classical Latin in that it placed a greater reliance on word order, was less concerned with inflection, and utilized more prepositions. To a certain extent, Vulgar Latin and Classical Latin also had different vocabulary.
In modern times, Latin is regarded as a dead language as it no longer has a community that speaks it. Despite this fact, Latin still has its uses and has influenced aspects of many other languages. Many languages make use of the Roman alphabet, including English. Latin is also used within the Roman Catholic Church and is still considered the official language of Vatican City.
Virginia Beach Latin lessons are available to students of any age, including high schoolers, college students, and adults. So whether you are a high school student attending Landstown High School or Ocean Lakes High School, a college student attending South University-Virginia Beach or the nearby University of Virginia, or you're an adult hoping to add a boost to your career, Virginia Beach Latin lessons can help you work towards achieving your dreams.
If you decide to sign up for Virginia Beach Latin lessons, you can choose between two different types of lessons: Latin courses or Latin tutoring. Latin courses are similar to a regular course because you will work with an instructor and fellow students, while Latin tutoring consists of you meeting individually with a Virginia Beach Latin tutor.
What skills can an instructor in Virginia Beach Latin lessons help me review?
In learning any new language, getting the vocabulary down is often a key component. Latin vocabulary is considered relatively easy for English speakers because many English words come from Latin words. There are even some Latin words that are just about identical to their English equivalents. While this eases the difficulty of learning Latin vocabulary, retaining this knowledge does still require practice, which can be hard to come by when you're studying on your own. In a Latin course, your instructor can go over new vocabulary words, and you can also collaborate with your fellow classmates in group activities and discussions. Practicing your vocabulary this way dovetails with another skill you may learn in Virginia Beach Latin lessons.
Learning how to pronounce words in Latin is a key element in learning the language. Many students find pronouncing Latin words to be rather easy, but it still requires practice and a bit of patience. Virginia Beach Latin lessons can help with this in several different ways. In Latin classes, your instructor can go over the correct pronunciation, and you may have the chance to practice these skills with your classmates.
Speaking with a Virginia Beach Latin tutor can also be helpful with pronunciation because you can get immediate feedback. Additionally, you can work on memorizing and pronouncing vocabulary words that are relevant to your interests and potential career because you can have more control over the topics you cover since you are the only student working with the instructor.
How to the two types of Virginia Beach Latin lessons work?
Latin classes are designed to resemble a typical class, so you will have an instructor there to guide you as well as other students to collaborate with. New Latin classes are available every month and at various times throughout the day, making it easy to find a class that will fit into your schedule. Additionally, Latin classes take place entirely online, which means that you'll never have to worry about how you're going to get to your class. You can attend class online at your house or anywhere else that you'd like as long as you have a stable Internet connection.
Studying with a Virginia Beach Latin tutor gives you the option of working with an instructor on an individual level. This gives you more flexibility in scheduling because you only have to find a mutually agreeable time between yourself and your private instructor. Additionally, as your instructor will only be teaching one student, it may be easier for them to adapt the way they teach to fit your learning style or teach the material in multiple ways. You also have more control over how much time you spend on each topic. You can also have a say in the types of activities you engage in. You can meet with your instructor either online or in person.

Sarah Michelle: Virginia Beach Latin lesson instructor
I am always learning, so I like to encourage others to keep learning too.... Helping students identify with what they are learning is very important to me. Helping them see that, "Yes, this does apply to me," makes all the difference.... Get to know them and their likes in school. What are they finding most difficult? How can I be help them get to the heart of the lesson?... First, I like setting a foundation for the previous lessons. Did the student understand this lesson before the next? Let's see how much they can do on their own and then step in before the lesson gets too hard.

John: Virginia Beach Latin lesson instructor
I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.
