Latin

I offer tutoring for students in 3rd-12th grade, available both in private and in small group settings. There are four levels of learning: Latin for Beginners, Latin 1, Latin 2, and Latin 3

Latin has multiple benefits:

*Advance English vocabulary.

*Increase SAT verbal scores.

*Strengthens English grammar, translation, thinking, and writing skills.

Students study the lives of famous composers of the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Impressionistic eras and their contributions to the world.

The goal is for each student is to use their musical gifts and knowledge to further Christ’s kingdom and bring glory to God.

These sessions prepare students for high school English. Due to the level of the class, previous experience with Shurley Grammar and equivalent programs with tutor approval is required. This course utilizes the Shurley Grammar 7 program emphasizing grammar and editing skills. Students will complete daily homework assignments and take weekly exams.
