Cultivating Executive Function Skills: A Modern Approach to a Classical Language
At Latin Foundations & Focus, we know that the difficulties in mastering Latin go beyond memorizing charts and translating—it’s time to tackle the fundamental challenges. We offer a unique, dynamic approach to Latin tutoring that seamlessly integrates executive function coaching to ensure your child not only masters a classical language but also develops the vital cognitive skills for success in school and life.
Our Unique Approach
Latin is a powerful tool for enhancing mental discipline and cognitive growth. While traditional Latin tutoring focuses on language acquisition alone, we go one step further.
A struggle to understand Latin often indicates underlying executive function weaknesses. Through our integrated executive function coaching, we help students develop the skills necessary for memory, focus, time management, planning, and self-regulation. These skills, which are critical for academic and personal success, are woven into every lesson.
How We Stand Out
Comprehensive
Learning
We don’t just teach Latin—we teach how to learn. Our approach encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding and acceptance of self for every student.
Personalized
Coaching
Each student is unique. We tailor our tutoring sessions to meet the individual needs of each student, addressing both their language proficiency and executive function challenges.
Skill Development
for Life
Latin students naturally enhance their attention to detail, memory retention, and logical thinking. By integrating executive function strategies, we ensure these skills are applied not only to language but to every aspect of academic life.
