Certified teacher of Classics, with eight years of teaching experience in college, I am passionate about ancient cultures. I spent my childhood reading books on mythology and watching documentaries on Rome or Ancient Greece, Egypt, the Vikings, the Mayas, the Incas or the Aztecs.

I taught five years in rural college in Brittany then in the Hauts de France then three years in REP+ in Saint-Denis de La Réunion.
I also gave private lessons in French literature to students wishing to refresh their skills or prepare for exams.

Every year, I took on the same challenge: Introduce a new cohort of students to Latin, motivate and inspire them with a new approach to Latin based on the observation of their environment where Latin is present everywhere, the pedagogy of project, the teaching of Latin as a living language, games, theater and the creation of plastic works.

Passion but also rigor, kindness, adaptability and creativity are the main qualities that appeal to my teaching and which have meant that so many students have taken my Latin courses and never with regret!

I offer beginner to intermediate level Latin lessons. These courses are ideal for children but will also delight the big children that we still are sometimes.

Here are some examples of activities practiced in innovative teaching:
Creation of games on the origin of Latin languages, decoding of films or books based on mythology, introduction to Latin thanks to the spells of Harry Potter, workshops for the translation of Latin proverbs or quotations, creation of sketches in Latin.

In general, I offer an à la carte course, according to your tastes and your expectations. Teaching is done online using Zoom. We get to know each other during a first lesson so that I can understand your needs and desires but also your personality, then I offer you a structured, progressive and personalized program that is both rigorous and attractive in order to help you discover or progress in Latin.

Don't hesitate, get started!

Vale!

Ancient history and mythology lessons for curious people of all ages! - Certified Classics teacher

41.51 C$ /h

Are you passionate about ancient history, mythology or forgotten languages? Me too ! Certified Classics teacher, I taught middle school for eight years. I led a Latin-Heritage option and introductions to Latin and Ancient Greek using innovative methods, in addition to daily Latin teaching based on project teaching. I had the chance to organize trips with the students to Provence and Rome, to create educational booklets and treasure hunts with them and to have them participate in all kinds of workshops linked to ancient cultures, in particularly experimental archeology workshops.

Then I set out to explore the world.
From the Roman and Greek ruins of Europe to the pyramids and temples of Egypt, including the Mayan and Aztec cities of Mexico and Guatemala, Machu Picchu and the forgotten cities of Sri Lanka, I have visited all the archaeological sites that I have been able to in three years of traveling and continue to do so. At each stage, I delve into the ancient culture of the site in question and am inevitably fascinated! So much so that I would now like to share this knowledge!

I master Roman and Greek civilizations at a professional level and also have a solid knowledge of Egyptian, Scandinavian, Celtic, Mayan, Aztec and Inca civilizations.

Do you want to know more about these civilizations? Do you already have some knowledge and want to deepen it? You are in the right place !

My courses are built around the analysis of archaeological remains which, put into context, give a concrete and immediately meaningful overview of the social, religious, economic, political, artistic and linguistic aspects of a civilisation.

I am passionate, committed to everything I do, creative, rigorous and both caring and demanding!

Teaching is done online using Zoom. During the first class, we get to know each other and I take note of your desires and needs, your knowledge too and the way you like to work. I then offer you a structured, progressive and personalized program, as rigorous and passionate as I am!

Get started, a great adventure in ancient cultures awaits you!

School at home or school on the road – Certified teacher-tutor open to the world

31.55 C$ /h

Have you decided to homeschool or go on a world tour with your child? Did you think being a teacher and parent was easy but it turns out to be more difficult than expected? Are you afraid of rushing your child, of damaging the relationship you have with him or you don't feel like a teacher or are not sure of your knowledge?

I can help you !

Certified Classics teacher, I taught French and Latin in middle school for eight years at all levels, namely high-potential, dyslexic or struggling children or non-French-speaking children from various cultures. Before and during my teaching years, I gave private lessons and tutored children who wanted to prepare for French exams, who could not read, or who wanted to learn ancient Greek.

Then I went on a world tour.
Traveling for three years, I met on my way families who traveled around the world, others who had settled abroad and were schooling at home and I also approached other teaching methods such as the Waldorf method (Steiner).

I offer tutoring for your child in French, history-geography, English and/or Spanish. I am also able to offer an opening to science and art.
I am aware of the difficulties presented by schooling at home and while traveling and myself introduced to various innovative educational practices and open to the world, I am an exciting resource for your child. I particularly like project-based teaching, so why not build learning with your child based on carrying out projects based on what they experience at home or while traveling?

Teaching is done online using Zoom. During the first lesson, we get to know each other and I take note of your expectations and needs as well as your child's personality, his tastes and desires and the framework in which you want this teaching to take place.

The qualities of organization, rigor, kindness, adaptability and creativity that are mine have allowed me to successfully teach all types of audiences and I look forward to being able to build a personalized course with your child !

I studied Latin for 6 years (high school and university) and read the works of (among others) :
-Ovidius
-Virgil
-Horace
-Civero
-Catullus

I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.

During my lessons I use :
- Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you,
- Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep,
- sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc.
- books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc.

I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to sit an exam, I am very demanding.

What can I teach?
- I can prepare you for exams at school / university.
- I can help you with assignments / HW.
- I can help you with translations / commentaries / grammar / syntax.

Associate professor, Doctor of Letters (Paris IV Sorbonne), teaches Latin at all levels.

This course is aimed at anyone wishing to learn or relearn the Latin language, progressively access literature, history, philosophy, ancient sciences, and approach Latin culture. It is also intended for any pupil or student wishing for support in this subject.
Learning the Latin language presupposes a few solid bases of French grammar that we review of course if necessary, before installing Latin grammatical knowledge.
Learning Latin develops the rigor and sense of translation.

You will learn Latin the way it was meant to be learned - through conversation! Medieval scholars and contemporary language researchers alike advocate the use of dialogues and comprehensible input for language acquisition, and it most certainly works! As opposed to the "memorise grammar rules and then babble them in front of the class" approach that was demonstrated by the infamous "Romanēs eunt domus" scene from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian", you will learn to feel the grammar, so that you will be able to use the different cases of Latin without even thinking about it, just like a native speaker!
For this class we will be using the following books, depending on the learner's level:
Hans Øreberg's "Lingua Latīna per sē Illustrāta"
"Corderiī Colloquia"
Erasmus Rask's "Colloquia Familiaria"
John C. Traupman Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency
I will be the collocutor and I will answer the learner's questions and explain certain oddities solely in Latin (I will use a second language only when the situation calls for it)
We will also engage in free-form conversations, discussions of the dialogues, of our life experiences etc so that the learner can apply what they learn to real-life situations and expand their vocabulary

Master Latin — Speak, Read, and Understand the Language of the Classics

In my classes, you will gain a complete command of Latin grammar and develop the ability to speak, write, and read the language with confidence. Together, we will explore Latin as a living language — not only translating it, but also using it actively to understand the great authors in their original words, from Cicero to Erasmus.

The core of my course is Familia Romana, a renowned textbook that introduces the essential structures of Latin grammar and builds a strong foundation in vocabulary through engaging, context-based learning.

My teaching approach is flexible and student-centered, adapting to your pace, interests, and goals. Whether you wish to read classical literature, strengthen your linguistic understanding, or experience Latin as a spoken language, I will guide you step by step toward mastery.

By the end of the course, you will not only know Latin — you will think and express yourself in it.

Join me in rediscovering Latin as it was meant to be: alive, precise, and profoundly beautiful.

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

A LIVING METHOD
Whether you are a beginner or more advanced, I will help you progress in Latin or ancient Greek, which you will learn as a living language: it will not be primarily a question of translating Latin or Greek, but above all of speaking it, reading it, writing it!

FORGET YOUR DICTIONARY
By doing so, you will memorize vocabulary and grammatical structures much more easily than with the classic method based essentially on translation. You will no longer spend your life in the dictionary, and eventually, you will read your favorite authors like an open book!

LATIN
I essentially offer a living Latin course based on the Orberg method, acclaimed by thousands of Latinists around the world. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced, I can accompany you on the chapters corresponding to your level of Familia Romana (first volume) or Roma Aeterna (second volume). It is therefore important that you get this book.

If you want to work on Familia Romana, I also highly recommend that you purchase the Vivarium Novum workbook to consolidate your learning: volume I for chapters I to XIX, volume II for chapters XX to XXXIV.

GREEK
For Greek, we will use the Logos method. It will be up to the student to obtain a copy of this manual.

A LA CARTE COURSES
However, I am attentive to pupils and students who are waiting for more conventional methods, particularly in the context of preparing for the baccalaureate, the competitive examinations for the grandes écoles, or even the agrégation. Version, theme, explanation of an old text: all these exercises are well known to me for having practiced them for many years.

It is also possible to build a course based on your desires (excluding erotic texts and magic manuals). Do you want to follow one method rather than another? Discover a particular author? Tell me! Be careful, however, to remain realistic! We do not tackle Xenophon or Titus Livius without a solid level.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any request.

NB: I do not offer translation services, and even less for tattoos. Thank you for your understanding.
