About

Hello, I'm Neil Dorney, and I've spent my career passionately teaching Latin, combining my love for classical history and language with a modern twist to make learning both engaging and meaningful. With a strong background in education, I specialize in bringing the ancient world to life through interactive lessons that not only teach the language but also immerse you in the cultural and historical context that makes Latin so fascinating. I believe learning should be accessible to everyone, which is why I've dedicated myself to providing a high-quality online Latin education. Whether you're tackling the intricacies of the Victorian Certificate of Education or simply eager to explore Latin for personal enrichment, my approach is designed to cater to all levels. Through innovative methods like dependency tree banking and my unique colour-coded commentaries, I aim to deepen your understanding and enjoyment of Latin, making it a vibrant part of your educational journey. My mission is straightforward: to share the joys and benefits of studying Latin with students everywhere. I'm here to prove that Latin is not just a subject of the past but a key to understanding our present and enriching our future. By integrating modern pedagogy and technology into my teaching, I'm committed to revitalizing Latin's role in Western education and making it a central aspect of your learning experience. Join me in this exciting adventure to rediscover Latin's relevance and beauty. Together, we'll explore the depths of ancient texts, unlock the secrets of the past, and equip ourselves with the linguistic skills that open up a world of understanding and opportunity.
