Latin Tutoring In London

What are the benefits of Latin tutoring in London?

While the tradition of studying Latin is well established in Independent schools where 49% of schools cover Latin in the curriculum, state school pupils in London and elsewhere in the country may soon find Latin coming to their classroom.

Primary schools across London are increasingly incorporating Latin into their curriculum, with connections to History, Design and Technology (DT), Science (STEM), Geography (Geography), Art (Art History), English (English Literature), and Modern Foreign Languages (MFL).

The number of students studying Latin at secondary school is also set to increase when thousands more students in London, and elsewhere in the country, will have the opportunity to learn Latin as part of a new £4 million program, which was announced in 2021 by the Education Secretary Justine Greening on 31st of July.

With the Latin Excellence Program, more state secondary school students will be able to offer access to learning Latin. According to a British Council survey, Latin is only taught at key stage 3 in 2.7 percent of state schools, while it is taught in 49 percent of independent schools at this level.

In addition to learning Latin, the new program will include activities such as visits to Roman heritage sites to provide pupils with a more in-depth understanding of Classics and life in the ancient world, as well as other subjects.

It is planned to establish an expert group to collaborate with schools that provide the best Latin instruction in the country in order to develop high-quality resources that will be distributed to schools in disadvantaged areas that have low take-up of the subject at GCSE level.

This is great news as it means that Latin is something that anyone can learn - even primary school children! The National Curriculum for Key Stage 2 specifically mentions ancient languages (Latin and Ancient Greek) as languages appropriate for children aged 7 to 11 years old.

It also means that your child may need help with Latin homework, classwork or even exam preparation. That’s where GoStudent comes in.

Why choose Latin tuition in London with GoStudent?

Latin tutoring can help students improve both their grades and self-esteem.

Latin is a popular language to learn in London and the rest of the United Kingdom, as well as other parts of the world. Latin is a prestigious subject that provides numerous advantages to students of all ages.

Latin tutors in London can assist with homework and provide in-depth explanations of difficult concepts. Latin tests are typically administered to students after they have been instructed in the fundamentals of the language. A Latin tutor can help students by going over previous test papers with them so that they are aware of the types of questions that will be asked. This technique helps students prepare for their Latin exams while also helping them improve their grades.

Latin students can also be provided with examples of excellent Latin answers so that they can learn how to structure their own essays in the language. This saves a significant amount of time while also assisting students in producing work that is structurally sound.

Aside from teaching Latin, Latin tutors can also assist with translation. Compositions and translations can be extremely difficult when learning Latin, so be patient. As speakers of the Latin language, our Latin tutors will be able to correctly translate words and sentences, allowing your child to complete their homework with ease.

Latin tutors for Latin GCSE and Latin A-Level in London

Pupils in London can experience significant stress when preparing for exams. This is true for all subjects, but it is especially true for subjects that are very academic in nature, such as Latin, which many people find difficult.

When it comes to studying, procrastination is extremely common. The majority of the time, children will attempt to avoid revision, which only serves to increase anxiety and result in poor performance.

Latin exams such as Latin GCSE or Latin A-Level are based on the study of authentic texts, and are intended to broaden students' knowledge and understanding of the Latin language's vocabulary, grammar, and syntax, as well as ancient literature, morals, and society, among other things. It’s difficult for students to get exposure to these kinds of texts easily outside of school so having a Latin tutor gives them the advantage of having access to custom made study materials that they wouldn’t have access to otherwise.

Latin students develop their knowledge of Latin vocabulary, morphology, and syntax at the GCSE and A level in order to read and comprehend Latin passages in the course of their studies. Learners are expected to be familiar with the words found in the grammar and vocabulary lists that have been provided. An experienced Latin tutor is familiar with the word and grammar lists used in London schools and can prepare fun activities for students to memorise them.

Students also study ancient literature and ancient sources in order to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the ancient world, which they can apply in their future careers. Preparation is essential for your child to do well on their exams and gain admission to the best universities in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.
