A typical lesson
- We start from the translation or grammar chapter that is really holding you back.
- We analyse the sentence structure before looking up words in the dictionary.

- Materials and diagrams stay available in your personal area after the lesson.

Latin: frequently asked questions.
Who teaches the Latin lessons?
A tutor from the GL Ripetizioni team who specialises in Latin, selected and personally followed by Gaetano, with the same standard of skills checks and the same method used for the other subjects.
Do you also help catch up a failed subject in Latin?
Yes, it is one of the most frequent requests. We start with a quick check of where you are stuck (grammar, translation method or both) and build a plan targeted on the September exam.
Do you work on the translations and the book set at school?
Yes, always. Lessons are built on your real homework (the translations you are set, the literature syllabus of your book), not on a standard syllabus.
How much does a Latin lesson cost?
Rates are the same as for all the other subjects: you will find the up-to-date detail on the Pricing page. Payment is offline, after the lessons. The easiest way to start is to book a lesson or a free 30-minute introductory call.
Do you need help with Italian, history or philosophy too? There is a dedicated page on Italian and humanities.
