"You don't speak Latin?" Latin language tutor and Roman history expert

I have 5 years full time experience teaching Latin language in the classroom and I have state (PA) certification in this field. My classes have represented a wide variety of backgrounds, racially and socio-economically, including several ELL students. My sections in the past have ranged in size from 32 to 5 students. Besides full classes, I worked extensively with tutoring one-on-one in college as well as in high school. I have led sections ranging from a complete introduction to the language, to reading classes working on college level texts. In the latter, the students read through passages from Ovid, Martial, Catullus & Caesar, as well as collaborating in groups on technical compositions. With my Introductory level classes, I balanced the Reading and Comprehensible Input methods with the more traditional Grammar Focused method and I often incorporated group work into the lesson. In addition to whichever textbook the school provided, I would add supplemental units of my own between chapters in order to address certain grammatical topics or a themed vocabulary unit. Besides the language itself, I have a passion for studying the history of Rome and the ancient world in general. I would incorporate these topics into the classroom often, because studying the Roman world and culture brings the language to life for students and allows for a more interdisciplinary mindset. With each group of students, I go the extra mile to accurately monitor their progress in the language so that I can adjust the instruction as necessary. That way, I can best address their needs and continue to encourage them positively.
