Online Lessons in Classical Latin
Online Lessons in Classical Latin
Hi!
My name is Sarah Blendstrup, and I have been working as a teacher of Danish and Latin since 2018.
I've been interested in Classical Studies since I was in High School, when I took Classical Latin and Greek at an advanced level at the Cathedral School of Ribe.
During my Bachelor's degree at the University of Southern Denmark, I chose Classical Latin as an elective, and during my Master's degree, I completed my minor in Classical Latin at the University of Gothenburg. At that time, I also worked pro bono as a teaching assistant in Classical Latin at Kitas Gymnasium.
Much of my current teaching is in Danish language and culture, but I also teach Latin to High School International Baccalaureate (IB) students.
As a private teacher, I offer 1-to-1 lessons that can be tailored to your current level and goals. Lessons take place via video call, so you can take them wherever suits you best. I can also send short lecture notes after each class if the student requests them.
You can buy lessons individually or as a package, and you can book them whenever you need, at the pace you want — it's not a subscription.
As a person, I am very patient, and it is important for me that you feel comfortable showing me your difficulties and giving your opinion.
You can check out my reviews and statistics on Preply. There, I teach both Classical Latin and Danish. On Verbling and Italki I only teach Danish, but you can also read the reviews.
You can also download my full CV in English and Danish.
If you have any questions, you can write to me at sarah@blendstrup.com.
Lessons can take place on Google Meet, Zoom or Jitsi. I use Google Docs annotations for correcting and giving feedback on exercises.
My rate for individual lessons with private clients is 600 Danish crowns (DKK) for one-hour lessons and 300 DKK for half-hour lessons. This is around USD 90 and USD 45, respectively, but the conversion rate for students living outside Denmark is chosen at the time of payment. Private clients are exempt from VAT.
I offer a discount of 5% when you buy a bundle of 10 hours, or 10% when you buy 20 hours, which you can spend on one-hour and half-hour lessons at a pace that suits you.
You can book a free half-hour introductory lesson before you decide to buy a bundle.
Here you can read the whole terms and conditions.
It is also possible to arrange individual lessons through some third-party platforms: currently, Preply (Sarah B.) is the only one that accepts Classical Latin. However, due to extra fees for these platforms, my rates tend to be higher there. Also, I am not allowed to move students from one platform to another, or to my website. So if you start booking lessons with me on a platform, we will have to stick to it in the long run. If we start here, however, there's no binding whatsoever.
If you have any questions, you can contact me at sarah@blendstrup.com. You can tell me about your current level and goals.
