Varsity Tutors can enroll you in Latin lessons in Kansas City no matter what skill level you're currently at. We have helped Park Hill High School juniors, students enrolled at the University of Missouri - Kansas City, and other area students with professional Kansas City Latin lessons designed to help them improve their Latin skills. Many students are required to study a language at some point in their educational career. Learning a language can be challenging, but additional resources outside of your class sessions can provide you with effective practice and learning time.
Latin is the precursor of Romance languages and was first encountered in ancient Rome. There are two forms of Latin, which are Classical and Vulgar. Classical Latin is more formal and elegant and uses similar vocabulary, grammar, and style as Greek. Vulgar Latin is more popular and differs from Classical Latin in its increased use of prepositions, more regularity of word order, less focus on inflection, and some of its vocabulary. Vulgar Latin is what modern Romance languages descended from such as Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and French. Among the Germanic languages, English has been the most receptive to be influenced by Latin. For this reason, knowing Latin can help you learn other languages. Latin is considered a "dead" language. Dead languages are defined as those that no longer represent the spoken language of a community; however, it is the official tongue of Vatican City and is the official language of communication of the Roman Catholic Church. It is also used in the scientific, technological, and medical fields. Because of its use in career fields, you could benefit your job prospects by knowing Latin.
Whether you've just begun your first Latin class or you're struggling with an advanced class, we can connect you with a Kansas City Latin tutor or enroll you in a Latin class that can fit your needs based on your skill level. These two types of Kansas City Latin lessons have their own benefits that they can provide you, and you can get guidance from a professional, patient instructor. Classes start each month, and you can connect with a private instructor in only 24 hours, so it's quick and easy to get started.
What Material Might an Instructor Help Me Learn in Kansas City Latin Lessons?
Many English words originate from Latin, which makes it easier for a lot of students to master. However, it does take patience and practice to learn how to pronounce Latin words, understand the importance of inflection (endings of words), and learn gendered nouns. Learning a new language requires a lot of practice time and studying. You need to be consistent on your studying of Latin and working with a tutor or participating in online Latin classes can provide you that consistency. You can benefit from using Latin lessons whether you are new to the language or if you are trying to keep your skills strong.
Since one of the most common barriers to learning a language is not having opportunities to practice, enrolling in a Latin class can provide you the opportunity to practice and learn in a group setting with other students at your skill level with a professional Latin instructor leading the class. Collaborating with learning peers and an expert can provide you with new skills and techniques for learning. Even by helping a classmate understand a concept better, you can increase your retention of the material.
There may be some concepts that you find especially challenging, and you may need additional time with your instructor. We make it easy for you to schedule a private session with your instructor so that you can receive additional guidance.
Some students prefer one-on-one learning to classroom learning. We can connect you with an experienced Kansas City Latin tutor that can help you using more personalized methods. Your private instructor can take the time to understand what your needs are, what style of learning suits your personality, and what motivates you. By understanding you as an individual, they can create your learning plan based on your needs alone. They can also offer you as much time and practice as you need to comprehend each concept.
How Do the Different Types of Kansas City Latin Lessons Work?
You may find that it is difficult to learn Latin because you are busy juggling your other responsibilities in your life. You also have to focus on other classwork, your family, and extracurricular activities. We make it easy to enroll in a class that can meet your learning needs and fit into your busy schedule. You will attend each class session online in an interactive group setting. By attending virtual classes with other students and a professional Latin instructor, you can practice pronouncing Latin, learn vocabulary, and learn about Latin history in a supportive group setting and receive constructive feedback from an experienced Latin teacher. Varsity Tutors can help you get enrolled in a class quickly because new classes start each month. Also, we offer a variety of class times for you to choose from. This means that you can choose a time that fits your schedule the best. Attending online classes also means that you can learn from anywhere from your computer. You don't have to worry about commuting back and forth to classes.
If you are looking to connect with a Kansas City Latin tutor, we can help you find someone who is qualified, professional, and available at a time that is convenient for you. There are online and in-person options available for private instruction. Online tutoring is done using our Live Learning Platform. You will use video chat and a virtual whiteboard to interact with a professional Kansas City Latin tutor from wherever you are. If you choose in-person instruction, you can choose where you will meet with your private instructor for your sessions.

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.
