SeumasU : Online courses in Latin and Greek

Hi there,

This is the landing page for courses I teach in Ancient Greek and Latin. I'm in the process of remodelling my website, and there are no new courses available to sign up for at this time.

A new round of classes will start in October 2026. I'll have more details about those courses in September.

To give you an idea of the classes I run, here is an overview:

For beginners in Ancient Greek, I run a series of 4 classes, Greek 101-104, which cover all of the textbook Athenaze. Each class runs for ten weeks, 1.5 hours per week. Students should expect to spend 3-6hours on their own preparing each week

I try to start a new cohort of Greek 101 each quarterly term.

For Latin I teach a series of 4 classes, Latin 101-104, 1hr a week for ten weeks each, working with Lingua Latina per se Illustrata: Familia Romana.

For more advanced students, I offer a rotating selection of more advanced courses. Each of these is typically a ten-week course at 1hr a week. We have reading courses where we read a text in Latin or Ancient Greek, and discuss it as much as possible in that language. Occasionally I offer other types of courses, including Role-Playing Games, speaking focused courses, composition classes, and so forth.

In terms of texts, I have offered Latin classes on texts from classical, post-classical, medieval, neo-Latin, and all the way up to 20th century texts. Similarly for Ancient Greek, I have taught classes on everything from Homer through to the 20th century.
