Gain confidence and improve grades with online Latin tutoring

Latin tutoring to improve grades and self-confidence

Much of the English language – including many grammatical rules - stem from Latin, as do many words in Spanish, French, Italian, Portguese and Romanian. In fact, a strong foundation in Latin is a great advantage when it comes to learning these languages.

Latin can also improve English language skills by expanding vocabulary. It can help with deciphering often complex words or phrases used in law and medicine, as many have Latin roots. You’re likely to find yourself speaking, writing and reading with confidence across all academic subjects once you’ve mastered Latin.

Latin is not difficult to learn but can be challenging in a classroom setting, where teachers don’t have time to repeat information that hasn’t been understood.

A GoStudent Latin tutor can help with homework and explain difficult concepts thoroughly. They can also help with exam preparation by going through previous test papers, building confidence and ensuring better results.

Latin tuition for primary school

Latin is being taught in an increasing number of primary schools across the country, and has cross-curricular connections to history, design and technology, science, geography, art, English, and modern foreign languages.

For many years, it was assumed that Latin was better suited to higher-ability students, but new research shows that it has a positive influence on the reading skills of children who are performing below age-related expectations.

Latin provides a framework within which less able students (as well as students learning English as a second language) can gain a better understanding of how languages work.

At GoStudent, Latin tutoring can be combined with the primary history curriculum covering the Greeks and Romans, helping to foster a love of history at the same time.

Latin exam preparation and revision

Preparing for exams can be very stressful for students and procrastination is common. While this is the case for all subjects, it can especially apply to academic ones like Latin, which many people struggle with.
