What type of person takes a course with the LSJ?

There is no such person as a 'typical' LSJ student - perhaps if there is a common factor it is a wish to improve  their writing skills and to take advantage of the opportunities that can bring, in both their professional and personal lives.  There are very few occupations where an increase in one's ability to communicate precisely and clearly is not an advantage.

But many students take our courses just for the pleasure of being better at something they enjoy doing...

The list below is a selection of  the occupations given us by students who have enrolled in the first few weeks of the year - which will show you the wide range of interests and enthusiasms that our students bring to their coursework:
