I don't want our classes to be static and generic - we will learn through images, activities, and discussion.

About Me

Hello! I'm Emer - a graduate in Classics and History of Art, I am passionate about everything to do with the ancient world.

I have been giving private tuition in Classics since 2014. In that time, I've had the privilege of receiving world-class education myself, first at Cambridge, and then at the Courtauld Institute of Art. I've had a fantastic education in all things ancient, and I'm zealous about sharing my knowledge with open-minded students who love to learn.

Education

Classics (BA Hons), University of Cambridge (Class of 2018)
Including: Latin, Ancient Greek, Art History, Ancient History, Archaeology

HIstory of Art (MA), Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London (Class of 2019)

Experience / Qualifications

BA (Hons) Classics, University of Cambridge (2014-18)
In my first three years, I learned Latin and Ancient Greek, and read a broad range of literature in both languages. I also took papers in ancient history, philosophy, art and archaeology, and linguistics. In my final year, I focused on Greek and Roman art and archaeology.

MA History of Art, Courtauld Institute of Art (2018-19)
During my MA, I focused on the art of the later Roman empire, as well as the early Byzantine and Medieval period. I studied art from around the eastern Mediterranean, including Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Syria, Cyprus, and Jerusalem, as well as that of Serbia, Georgia, and Armenia. I eventually wrote my dissertation on medieval Venetian architecture. I also took modules in modern and contemporary art theory and criticism.

Digital Classics and Cultural Heritage, Institute of Classical Studies, University of London (2019-20)

Outside of an educational setting, I have held internships and work placements at many cultural and educational institutions, including the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and Sotheby's in London.

Art classes for aspiring artists beginner to advanced!
You will always need a blank piece of paper and a pencil for class. Some people say that you need fancy materials to make art but that is far from the truth. Using what you have at home is perfect! We will be taking notes each class on techniques and we will also be doing sketches every class. On the first day of class we will start by setting goals for something we want to learn more about in art. I will work with you to gradually get to that place you want. Art is something that you learn just like everything else, putting in the work is part of learning and is needed in the subject of art as well!

Art classes (oil painting, drawing, comics, illustration, etc.)
Learning to draw or paint is not just about "reproducing well," but more importantly, about developing creativity. My classes emphasize developing the imagination while incorporating a rich and relevant knowledge of art history. Students thus improve both their technical drawing skills and their deeper understanding of art.

Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

Basic Syntax and Grammar phenomena of the Ancient Greek Language
An introduction to the basic syntactic and grammatical phenomena of the ancient Greek language. We use texts from the ancient Greek Literature (Ancient Greek History, Tragedies and Myths) as well as the Bible or Byzantine Hymnology in order to better understand the structure and way of thinking of the Greek language. The course is addressed to anyone who either has or doesn't have a knowledge of the Greek language. It is built as a personalized course, based on each student's level, motivation and learning needs.

Konstantina
Greek Tutor with 12 Years of Experience – Kids & Adults
Hello! I’m a native Greek speaker with over 12 years of experience teaching Greek to both children and adults. I specialize in helping learners build strong foundations in grammar, vocabulary, and conversation, always adjusting my methods to suit each student's needs and goals. I hold a Master's degree in Translation Studies, which has deepened my understanding of language structure and communication. Learning Greek may seem challenging at first, but with a clear strategy and a supportive tutor, it becomes fun and effective. The easiest way to learn Greek is by combining real-life dialogue with cultural context. Many students ask, “Is Greek hard to learn?” The truth is that while it’s different from many other languages, with regular practice and the right guidance, you’ll progress faster than you expect. Typically, you can reach a basic conversational level within a few months. I offer engaging and practical lessons that keep learners motivated and confident. Whether you’re a complete beginner or want to improve your fluency, I’d be happy to support your journey to learning Greek!

Andrés
Ancient Greek, Latin and Spanish Language (online and face-to-face)
Hello! I am Andrés and I have a degree in Classical Philology. I teach Latin and ancient Greek classes, at all levels, both for school reinforcement and if you want to learn these two languages for pleasure. I like to teach these subjects based on new methodologies that make learning them more enjoyable and pleasant for the student. In addition, I like to complement the teaching of these languages with culture and history classes, since it is very important to know the context in which we move in each class. Anyway, I adapt to the needs of each student. I also teach Spanish Language and Literature reinforcement classes, both for Primary, ESO, Baccalaureate students, and those who take the University entrance exams. Flexible schedule.

Art History Course: Awaken your curiosity and develop your culture
This course is designed to be flexible. I adapt to your tastes and desires. I have a bachelor's degree in art history and am currently pursuing a master's degree. I offer this course to teach you a reliable cultural foundation. This can focus on a specific period, a movement, a medium, or be very general. The goal is to enrich your culture and satisfy your curiosity. For children, I offer a discovery course which aims to awaken the sense of art, while having fun.

Living Latin through Comprehensible Input (Contemporary and Medieval Latin)
You will learn Latin the way it was meant to be learned - through conversation! Medieval scholars and contemporary language researchers alike advocate the use of dialogues and comprehensible input for language acquisition, and it most certainly works! As opposed to the "memorise grammar rules and then babble them in front of the class" approach that was demonstrated by the infamous "Romanēs eunt domus" scene from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian", you will learn to feel the grammar, so that you will be able to use the different cases of Latin without even thinking about it, just like a native speaker! For this class we will be using the following books, depending on the learner's level: Hans Øreberg's "Lingua Latīna per sē Illustrāta" "Corderiī Colloquia" Erasmus Rask's "Colloquia Familiaria" John C. Traupman Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency I will be the collocutor and I will answer the learner's questions and explain certain oddities solely in Latin (I will use a second language only when the situation calls for it) We will also engage in free-form conversations, discussions of the dialogues, of our life experiences etc so that the learner can apply what they learn to real-life situations and expand their vocabulary

Elisabetta
Italian language course. Learning a new language is always a challenge, so we will get there in small steps.
Italian is the language of literature, of bel canto, and the language of one of the most beautiful countries in the world. In my course we will start with the linguistic and phonetic basics to then advance to more complex writings. You will practice speaking and correct pronunciation, to then arrive at written exercises, which you will also have to do at home to better assimilate the contents.

Gemma
Learn and improve to speak Italian with a real Florentine
Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language? I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with. Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation. I am also available to proofread your writings.
