For Individual Students

Private Latin Teaching, Tutoring, & Academic Support

Sometimes students need more than what a classroom—traditional or online—can provide. Perhaps your student would like to learn Latin but isn’t in a situation where that is currently offered. Whether your student is struggling with Latin and needs extra help, wants to get ahead, or simply learns best in a one-on-one setting, Daisy Lane Educational Services offers personalized Latin instruction tailored to individual needs.

Who This Is For

Students currently taking Latin who need additional support:

  • You're enrolled in a Latin class at school but finding it challenging

  • You want to improve your grades and understanding

  • You need help preparing for tests or exams

  • You're falling behind and need to catch up

Students wanting to learn Latin outside of school:

  • Your school doesn't offer Latin

  • You want to get ahead before taking Latin in high school

  • You're interested in Latin for personal enrichment

  • You're preparing for college and want a strong foundation

Students who learn best one-on-one:

  • You need individual attention and pacing

  • You have learning differences that require specialized instruction

  • You want a completely customized learning experience

  • You thrive with personal mentorship

What I Offer

Personalized Instruction

Every student is different. In our one-on-one sessions, I:

  • Assess your current level and identify specific areas of strength and challenge

  • Design a customized learning plan based on your goals and needs

  • Adapt my teaching approach to match how you learn best

  • Move at your pace — faster where you're strong, slower where you need support

  • Focus on what matters to you — whether that's grades, understanding, or genuine mastery

Flexible Formats

Supplemental Tutoring
Support for students already enrolled in a Latin class elsewhere. We work on homework, test preparation, concept review, and filling knowledge gaps.

Complete Latin Instruction
For students not taking Latin anywhere else, I provide comprehensive Latin courses (Latin I-IV) with complete curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

Test Preparation
Intensive preparation for midterms, finals, placement exams, or standardized tests with Latin components.

Intensive Review
Catch-up sessions for students who've fallen behind or summer review to prepare for the next level.

We meet at my home office or another mutually convenient location for individual instruction.

Online (Available Nationwide)
Live, interactive sessions via Zoom with shared screen, digital whiteboard, and Google Classroom for materials and assignments.

Scheduling:

  • Flexible scheduling to accommodate your school and activities

  • Sessions typically 45-60 minutes

  • Frequency determined by your needs (1-3 times per week)

  • Available days, afternoons, and evenings

What's Included

Every tutoring arrangement includes:

  • Personalized assessment and learning plan

  • One-on-one instruction focused on your specific needs

  • Ongoing communication with parents (for students under 18)

  • Email support between sessions for quick questions

Investment

Supplemental Tutoring: $75/hour

For students needing extra help with a Latin class they're taking elsewhere. We work on homework, test prep, concept review, and filling knowledge gaps.

  • Online via Zoom: $75/hour

  • In-person at my home office (High Point): $75/hour

  • In-person at mutually agreed upon location: $85/hour

Complete Latin Instruction:

For students wanting comprehensive Latin courses who aren't enrolled elsewhere, I recommend my open enrollment online classes ($750/year for credit-bearing courses). These provide structured curriculum, regular class meetings, and community with other students at a more affordable rate than weekly private instruction.

Private 1:1 complete instruction is available at $80-85/hour for families who prefer this format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if I need a tutor or should join a group class?
A: Tutoring is best if you need significant catching up, have specific learning challenges, or want completely customized pacing. Group classes work well if you're starting fresh or maintaining steady progress and benefit from learning with peers. Learn more about my online group classes at my For Homeschool Families page.

Q: Can you help with Latin courses at any level?
A: Yes! I work with students from elementary Latin through college-level coursework. I'm experienced with many major Latin textbooks and curricula.

Q: What if my teacher uses a different method than you do?
A: I'm experienced with many different Latin teaching approaches and textbooks. My goal is to help you succeed in YOUR class, so I work within your teacher's framework while filling in gaps and strengthening understanding.

Q: Do you assign homework?
A: For supplemental tutoring, we focus on your class homework and assignments. For complete instruction, yes, I assign practice work between sessions—but homework load is customized to your schedule and capacity.

Q: How long will I need tutoring?
A: It depends on your goals. Some students need a few sessions to catch up or prepare for a test. Others benefit from ongoing weekly support throughout the school year. We'll discuss this during our consultation.

Q: Can I do intensive sessions during school breaks?
A: Yes! Summer review sessions, winter break catch-up, and spring break intensive preparation are all available.

Q: What if I need to cancel a session?
A: I ask for 24-hour notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled with adequate notice can be rescheduled. My full cancellation policy will be provided when we establish our tutoring arrangement.

Q: Do you offer tutoring for college students?
A: Yes! I work with college students taking Latin courses, preparing for graduate programs, or studying for exams.
