About Me
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.

- Latin: Superior
- Greek: Advanced

Are you willing to offer Latin classes at homeschool co-ops or parish Latin class?
Yes, virtually.
Do you have experience with homeschooling?
I have a lot of experience working with homeschoolers, having taught in two different homeschool co-ops for 6 years.
Preferred Curriculum / Book
Cambridge Latin Course or Lingua Latina
What other curricula/books are you willing to use?
Wheelocks’s, Henle, Latin for a New Millennium, Ecce Romani or any other textbook of choice.
Do you use the natural (spoken) method?
Yes
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.
