Reading Latin well comes from steady practice and clear, encouraging feedback. With online Year 11 Latin tutoring, they do the work live on a shared screen instead of watching someone else do it.
Latin suits online sessions well. A sentence can be laid out on screen, each word marked with its job, and the structure becomes visible.
Why seeing the structure helps
In Latin, the structure of a sentence is hidden in its endings. Marking each word’s case and job, on screen, turns a confusing line into a map your child can follow.
Doing it together also shows exactly where the process breaks down: an ending not recognised, a verb not found, or a guess made from word order instead of endings.
How a session works
Sessions run on Google Meet, with a shared Google Doc and a shared digital whiteboard.
- Check-in: how they’re feeling, and what’s coming up in class.
- Quick vocabulary and endings check: a few minutes of recall to warm up.
- Parse together: your child marks each word’s ending and job in a sentence or short passage.
- Translate: first a literal version, then natural English.
- Review and next steps: what to practise before next time, written into the shared doc.
How we check it’s landing
Signs it’s working
- Your child looks at endings before word order.
- They find the main verb first in a long sentence.
- Vocabulary and endings come back without long pauses.
- Unseen passages feel like a puzzle instead of a wall.
Every session’s notes sit in the shared Google Doc, so you can see what was covered at any time.
