Latin 3: module 2

Jordan Dyck is a full-time ancient language enthusiast. He lectures philosophy at Staffordshire University and New Testament Greek at St. Augustine's College of Theology (Durham University). He also teaches Classical and Biblical Greek, Latin and Hebrew through his website and runs various reading groups, including one looking at LGBTQ-themed texts from throughout the Ancient Greek world. Jordan holds a BA (Wales) and MA (Durham) in Biblical Studies and Theology. His doctoral thesis for Staffordshire University (2017) is titled 'Finding Lacan: St Paul and the Paradox of Jouissance,' and uses continental philosophy and psychoanalysis to study the Bible. Over the past decade he has been increasingly interested in Classical languages, which now make up about half of his teaching. Other projects have included research into the experiences of LGBT African asylum seekers, and papers presented at academic conferences, mostly on St. Paul and philosophy. Though originally hailing from Canada, Jordan has lived in the UK since 2006, and is presently vice-chair of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Community Church of North London.

Sarah has over 15 years of experience teaching and leading learning in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Classical Civilisation in UK secondary schools. She now divides her time between part-time teaching at a school in East London, tutoring students of all ages both online and in person, and working with the UCL Summer School in Classics during the holidays. She is also the founder of the East London Classics Summer School (ELCSS) in Hackney, which prepares students for GCSE-level examinations in Latin. Deeply committed to widening access to classical subjects, Sarah actively champions inclusion and diversity. Through ELCSS, she secures funding to support students from underprivileged or financially challenging backgrounds, ensuring that opportunities to study the classics are open to all.
