Master's in Latin | 25+ Years' Experience | Author of two Latin Textbooks (Yale University Press) I guide students of all ages from beginner through advanced levels. Whether you are starting from scratch, returning after a break, or seeking course support, my structured approach can help you progress to reading classical Latin or the Greek New Testament with confidence. My lessons are clear, systematic, and language-focused, emphasizing reading, comprehension, and mastery of core structures. Students work toward real fluency through guided reading and careful reinforcement of grammar in context. If you are already using a textbook for a course—or simply have one you would like to use—we can build lessons around it. Otherwise, I will help you choose materials that best fit your goals. Over more than 25 years of teaching, I have worked extensively with children, teens, and adults. My lessons for younger students are engaging and enjoyable while maintaining a clear academic focus; students both enjoy their lessons and learn to a very high level. My students have earned top AP scores and gone on to advanced university study, including doctoral work in Classics. I combine academic rigor with sound pedagogy, making these languages engaging and accessible. NB: Some newer lesson types may show “0 lessons” due to italki updates. I have taught this material extensively.

Brian Beyer is a fabulous teacher. My daughter has been taking lessons about once a week for almost 5 years now, starting in 5th grade. She has learned so much, and the lessons have been interesting and she looks forward to them very much. She has done very well yearly on the National Latin Exam, and was able to start 11th grade Latin last year as a 9th grader. He also really cares about his students and their growth.

It was amazing, thank you 😊 Eva loved it. She loves the jokes, it makes the lesson more fun and you explained everything well, and helped her to figure out the meanings herself. She can't wait for her next lesson.⭐️⭐️

I’ve never had a lesson with Brian without improving my Latin skills. Moreover, he introduces a lot of background knowledge such as Roman history, architecture, and arts to me. Thank you so much for your great lessons and wish you a pleasant week!

Brian began by assessing what our high schooler knew and reviewing the previous work completed last year. He then gave an engaging overview of some of that material and we made a plan to continue! We covered a lot of territory in 30 min and will plan for 45 minute lessons in the future!
