My name is Iulia Pysmenna
I am a professional linguist, an educator, and an enthusiast of Latin. In my classes, I strive to develop linguistic proficiency and a deeper understanding of the profound connections between Latin and our everyday lives and its enduring influence on language, culture and thought.
INDIVIDUAL LESSONS
My methodology is based on knowledge of linguistic theory, a deep understanding of the language system, and many years of practical experience teaching Latin. I see language as embodying general universal principles of thought in grammar and vocabulary.
I work with all the most common approaches and textbooks, e.g., Cambridge Latin Course, the Oxford Latin Course, Wheelock's Latin, Lingua Latina per se Illustrata and the natural approach by Hans H. Ørberg.
Lessons on the reading originals with comments and interpretation for the intermediate and advanced levels.
