At KC Tutors, we provide tailored, high-quality tutoring designed to meet the unique needs of each student. Our approach is customised to suit your child’s strengths, areas for improvement, learning style, and the specific requirements of their IB Latin exam.
We deliver comprehensive tuition that covers all aspects of the IB Latin curriculum, including:
• Latin Language: Focused work on Latin grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, enabling students to master translation from Latin to English and vice versa. We provide exercises and practice materials to reinforce language skills.
• Classical Texts: In-depth study of key Latin authors such as Cicero, Virgil, Ovid, and Livy. We examine their works in relation to Roman culture, politics, and history, exploring both linguistic features and thematic concerns.
• Literary Analysis: Encouraging students to engage critically with Latin literature, we develop their skills in identifying and analysing key literary devices, themes, and stylistic techniques.
• Roman History and Culture: We provide a rich understanding of the historical and cultural contexts in which the Latin texts were written, giving students a broader perspective on Roman life and thought.
In addition to covering the core content, we incorporate:
• Translation practice to ensure students can confidently translate Latin texts accurately and fluently, with a focus on both comprehension and linguistic precision.
• Essay writing and analysis to help students develop the skills needed for detailed responses to literature-based questions and commentary-style essays.
• Exam preparation and techniques to ensure students can approach their IB exams with confidence, using past papers and exam-style questions to practice and refine their skills.
Our priority is to ensure that students develop a deep understanding of Latin language and literature while also strengthening their critical thinking and analytical abilities.
