Intro
My name is Jenni and I am a professional Latin and Greek teacher with over ten years of experience teaching and tutoring both Latin and Ancient Greek. I have taught professionally at the elementary, junior high, and graduate levels and I hold Master’s degrees in Classical Philology. I am currently working on my PhD at Bryn Mawr College, and before that I taught Greek and Latin at the Polis Institute for several years. I also have experience with spoken Latin and Ancient Greek, and I teach all of my school courses in a 100% immersion setting. My passion is to show every interested student that they have the capability to master these languages. With my help, the complicated aspects of these languages will become clear to you, as I help my students learn tools and strategies that they will keep with them in the classroom and out – all in a fun and friendly tutoring environment. With specifically tailored instruction, either as a supplement to current courses or an education ab initio (i.e. from the beginning), I will work with you to help you access the beautiful literature, history and music of the languages of the Ancient World.

Intro
Magister Pilcher, a native of Iowa, began his study of Latin at a young age. During various extended stays on the continent, he became fluent in several modern languages and fell in love with the city of Rome. His Latin study continued at Saint Louis University where he began his work as a translator. His recently-completed translation of the Tabula Libri Ethicorum (Aquinas Institute, forthcoming) is the first in any language of the Angelic Doctor’s concordance of the Nicomachean Ethics. He also works to prepare and authenticate sacred relics. His approach to living Latin is informed by his mentor Fr Reginaldus Foster, OCD. He currently teaches Latin to all ages in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

How would you describe your teaching style?
My teaching style is based on; (1) Directing and imitation: students will learn from the active and natural spoken method, imitating the teacher, describing pictures, learning poems and songs, etc. (2) Discussing and interaction: Reading in loud voice, ask and answer questions. I ALWAYS dedicate the first and the last 10-15 minutes to solve exercises. (3) Delegate tasks: solve exercises, write short texts, search and describe images (paints preferred), write an own grammar & content summary of the lessons.
Are you willing to teach classical Latin upon request?

Intro
My name is Nicolás Lázaro and I received my PhD from the National University of Rosario (UNR, Argentina) on Medieval Philosophy (Thomas Aquinas). Born and raised in Argentina, I have studied abroad: Italy, USA, Brazil and Germany. I have completed many specialization courses on Classics (with the Polis Institute, the Academia Vivarium Novum, the Pontificio Istituto “Altioris Latinitatis”).

How would you describe your teaching style?
I teach primarily using a combination of the natural and traditional grammar methods. I want students to have a deep understanding of Latin morphology and syntax and not just produce forms. Using the natural method, I get students to discover how Latin works without having to always reference English. I provide students with regular practice, mnemonic devices to aid memory, and a slew of tips and tricks along the way.
Are you willing to teach classical Latin upon request?
Yes
Intro
My name is Cory Landrum. I received my BA in Classical Languages and Literature and History from the University of Michigan. I’m presently working on a MA in Systematic Theology at Christendom College. I am a Diocesan high school teacher of Latin and have extensive experience teaching for homeschool co-ops. I have also taught Latin to seminarians and religious postulants. In addition to Latin, I have taught Biblical Greek to high school aged homeschoolers. Students who work with me will walk away with a profound appreciation of classical languages and a superior ability to engage with ancient works in the original.
