Latin and Greek for beginners. Help for high school students.

69.77 C$ /h

These classes are primarily intended to support secondary school students. Translating together, looking at grammar together - those are the things we can do in class. I prefer to teach classes in the evening or at the weekend. I'm really trying to help!

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.

I offer instruction across a wide range of humanities subjects. My primary focus areas are History (including Prehistoric, Classical, Roman, Byzantine, Medieval,etc.), History of Art, Ancient Greek language, Poetry, and Literature. I hold a BA in History and Archaeology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and I am currently enrolled in am MSc in Financial Technology from the same university. My teaching incorporates depth of historical knowledge and clarity of communication, skills recognized in my role as a Museum Educator in the Ancient Greek Technology Museum of Herakleidon"

Whether you are thinking of moving to Greece and want to prepare for everyday life there, or you are simply fascinated by the Greek language and its rich history and want to learn it, this is the perfect opportunity to start lessons with me. If you want to progress quickly through the material in order to take exams for a certification or for other personal reasons, the lessons can be structured to include some study at home. We will decide this together, based on your goals and pace.

Discover the beauty of the Greek language in fun, engaging lessons tailored to your level and goals. I adapt all teaching materials to fit each student’s profile, so all you need is your computer!

The lessons are designed to ensure that learning happens during the session itself, with no homework required—unless we decide together to include it for faster progress towards certifications or personal goals. This way, studying Greek becomes enjoyable and stress-free, without interfering with your daily routine or feeling like an obligation.

Speak, write, and understand Greek confidently while exploring its rich culture. Let’s make learning Greek exciting and unforgettable!

Help student high schools all the first time to improve in Greek and Latin: grammatica, morphology, sintassi analysis and translation guidance from high school versions for high school classics. Through the study and the ripasso of the fine grammatical rules of the translation.

Italian is a rich and expressive language, and my lessons are designed to help students gain confidence and clarity in both speaking and writing. I offer personalised Italian lessons adapting each class to the student’s level and goals.

With academic training at the University of Oxford, I combine a clear and structured approach with practical exercises in grammar, vocabulary, conversation, and writing. Lessons can focus on everyday Italian, exam preparation, or the analysis of literary texts and essays.

Each lesson is engaging, goal-oriented, and tailored to the individual student.

This course is designed to prepare students for reading the Greek of the New Testament, along with other texts written in Koine Greek, e.g. the Septuagint, Josephus, Epictetus, etc. Students will learn grammar, syntax, and vocabulary up to the point of being able to read and analyze Greek texts with the help of a lexicon.

Do you want to improve your English, succeed in Greek (Modern or Ancient) or understand Latin more easily? I offer flexible, online lessons designed around your goals.

My lessons are practical, engaging and personalized, whether you are preparing for exams, improving speaking and writing, or learning out of interest.

If you want clear explanations, effective methods and a supportive teacher, you’re in the right place.

I understand how many students think and why they get stuck, while teachers often struggle with this.
I can therefore convey complex material in a personal way, using examples, visualizations, comparisons, etc.

I often hear after an explanation:
- Oooooh, now I get it!
- Why doesn't the teacher just say this?
- That actually makes sense, yes...

My way of teaching is purely aimed at helping with things that are difficult or unclear.
We sit down and I ask, "What do you need to know for the test?" Then I'm assigned a few theory blocks, and we quickly figure out where things are going wrong, and I make sure it's clear.

A lesson usually lasts until all the material is understood. If that's too much, we usually stop after 1 or 1.5 hours, or when we run out of energy.

Making Latin fun is a herculean task, but if it becomes digestible, even the frustration that often accompanies it will be alleviated.

Let's review declensions together, learn how to easly recognize verb tenses, and learn how to use the dictionary effectively: it must be our best ally.

Perfect grammar and a good command of vocabulary will be our starting point for achieving sensible, error-free translations.
And if your weakness is literature, let's get down to business: get to know the authors, read the texts, take some quizzes.

Nothing is impossible.

Hi! I’m a BA in Philology with an MA in Arts, and I offer friendly, supportive Ancient Greek lessons for high school and university students.

Whether you’re struggling with grammar, translations, or exam prep, we’ll work step by step to make Ancient Greek feel clear and manageable — and even enjoyable!
