Latin tutoring: learning to read fluently (post-classical Latin: prose and poetry)
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Be surprised by a varied offer. In this series of tutoring lessons I give tips to be able to read Latin texts fluently. Using a number of selected texts from post-classical periods (mainly the Renaissance), both prose and poetry, we approach Latin as a modern language. This means that we read linearly and do not try to solve the sentence structures as a puzzle. The intended goal is to read Latin in a fluent and pleasant way, as well as to become acquainted with Latin texts and cultures from later periods.Location

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am Maxim, born and raised in Ostend, Belgium. After my studies at Ghent University, I completed a PhD in Literature (Spanish/Latin).After working for one year at the University of Chicago, I moved to Barcelona in 2019, where I currently live with my Argentinian wife and one-year-old daughter Montse.
Teaching Spanish is a passion that I have been sharing with students through tutoring for years. I often notice that there is a great need to practice the theoretical knowledge acquired through conversations and that is exactly what I want to offer here. Of course, grammar or specific vocabulary can also be discussed in more depth, if desired. Specific themes are chosen based on the student's profile.
In addition, I am also passionate about Latin from post-classical periods (e.g. the Renaissance). I like to read Latin texts with students that are closer to today's world. The focus is initially on linear reading; then, grammatical or cultural aspects are possibly explored in more depth.

Soy Maxim, nací y crecí en Ostend, Belgium. Después de mis estudios en la Universidad de Gante, completé un doctorado en Literatura (española/latina).
Después de trabajar un año en la Universidad de Chicago, me mudé a Barcelona en 2019, donde actualmente vivo con mi esposa argentina y mi hija Montse.
Enseñar español es una pasión que he compartido durante años con mis estudiantes a través de tutorías. It is important to note that it is necessary to practice the technical aspects of the conversation and to be precise in order to obtain information. If you want, you can learn more and use grammar and vocabulary, so you can read it. Los temas especificos se eligen en función del perfil del estudiante.
También me apasiona el latín de los periodos posclásicos (eg el Renacimiento). Me encanta compartir con estudiantes la lectura de textos que están más cerca de nuestras vidas actuales. Se centers inicialmente en la lectura lineal de los textos; Posterior discussions about the details of grammatical and cultural aspects.

I had a very good experience with Maxim as my teacher. He was patient and always ready to adapt the learning material to my needs. He put in extra effort to make up tests and writing tasks at my request.
He is passionate about the Spanish language and culture which made his classes very enjoyable.
A big thanks for helping me improve and reach my goals.
In this series of lessons we focus on conversations. Often the most difficult step is from theoretical knowledge to practice. Do you suddenly start to hesitate in a conversation whether you should use 'perfecto' or 'imperfecto' when you want to talk about that trip last summer? Was it 'por' or 'para' as a preposition?
Depending on your interests, we start the lesson by reading a customized text or discussing a photo. That text or photo will then serve as a starting point for the conversation.
Ask a question
Send a message explaining your needs and Maxim will reply soon:
The more detail, the better.
Ex. "Hi, when are you available to meet for a lesson?"

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart.
I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Learn the schedules by heart.
2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results.
Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind.
I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics.
What will not be the subject of the course:
learn lists of verbs;
learn lists of nouns with their gender;
learn words with their translations;
memory card game;
doing school exercises;
follow the program in a notebook;
impose French grammar on the Latin language.
What matters to me in particular:
motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm;
encourage creativity;
make friends with language;
letters and their sounds
strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop;
teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart;
explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ;
place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice.
In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy.
I look forward to meeting you.

(Online) Mathematics Tutoring for High School StudentsHigh School Math can be confusing for students. Often there is not enough time in school to repeat the content and practice enough, for the students to gain confidence and a routine in solving mathematical problems. With my help and guidance, any confusion will be cleared and we will practice problem solving until you are confident and understand the material.
The lessons will be tailored to your needs and their structure depends highly on you: usually it is a mixture of repeating the content, solving exercises together, summarising important concepts and talking about exercises you tried yourself at home. The topics, content, pace and methods of learning will be adjusted to your needs, ensuring that you get the most out of my lessons. Besides the lessons, you will get "homework" to work on to strengthen your skills and independent working.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
-Linear Algebra
-Calculus
-Trigonometry
-Geometry
-Set Theory
-Analysis
If you have another topic in mind that you really need help with, just send me a message!
Whether you need someone that explains the concepts to you or just someone to practice exercises with - I am sure I can help you. You have an exam soon and want to review the main topics? No problem! You have a very specific problem, question or topic that you need help with? I'm here to answer any questions! You need help with preparing for your A-levels/High School diploma? Don't fret, I will guide and prepare you!
The most important part of my lessons is, however, to ensure a safe and comfortable environment - I have no issue with explaining the same concept over and over again until I am convinced that you have understood it. It is important to me that you feel comfortable in asking any questions - I want to show you, that Math is more than a subject and that it can be fun!

Latin tutoring for middle and high school studentsLatin is a rather subtle language and for some, almost enigmatic, as the style, vocabulary and syntax can be confusing. However, a few tips are enough to find your way through what seems like a labyrinth to the uninitiated. Don't panic! A practical method exists that will put you at ease when faced with any Latin challenge. The delicate syntax of this language will no longer be a torture for you and you might even find it fun to practice reading and understanding texts that previously seemed hermetic to you. Reading, analyzing, understanding and translating a Latin text is possible. And even - why not? - writing in Latin.
As an experienced teacher, I offer you supervision (online or at home) taking into account the learner's level and adopting the most appropriate method for adequate monitoring. Online, the sessions will be recorded, if the listener wishes, and the video will be available for revision. You will have the rigor that this ancient language requires, today more current than ever. Declension, conjugation, syntax will always be a passion for you, by following the method that we propose to improve your level. You will soon translate texts from Latin to French (version) and from French to Latin (theme) in a simple and effective way.
If you are an intermediate (non-exam) student, looking to upgrade and fill the gaps that could potentially hinder you in the exam class, you will find the skills and experience competition to be sure to meet the challenge. Whatever your fear or certainty of the weakness of your level, our promise is to raise you to performance.
If you are a student in an exam class, you will find, through various media, the resources allowing you to get up to speed and approach the tests with confidence, with the certainty of a positive result. The difficulties that founded your fear or your aversion to Latin will soon be nothing more than ancient history! Yes indeed!
We have already supervised auditors online or in person with satisfactory results, using a method centered on the learner and taking into account their abilities and limitations. We proceed with a flexible method according to the level of development of the auditor/learner to avoid any dropout that may arise from reluctance or apprehension.
For you non-Latinists wishing to acquire knowledge in Latin for various uses or objectives, this course will allow you to have a good introduction to this classical language. You will now be able to read and understand simple to complex structures, access texts independently to increase your general knowledge or achieve your objectives according to the needs or requirements of your activity.

Latin for Beginners: prep for entrance exams at 13+In this Latin course, I offer "Common Entrance at 13+" training (including scholarship papers) for those students who have studied Latin for one or two years, and would like to revise, do translations and read from fun books such as Minimus or So you really want to learn Latin. Plenty of cultural stories and mythology in the mix, besides battles and august men. A basic understanding of grammar (or willingness to learn) expected. Ideally, students ought to be doing Latin at school and preferably have a second language (a Romance language ideal for securing a higher grade).
