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.

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.

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Do you want to improve your English, succeed in Greek (Modern or Ancient) or understand Latin more easily? I offer flexible, online lessons designed around your goals.

I teach English as a standalone subject, as well as Modern Greek, Ancient Greek and Latin. Thanks to my experience in comparative language teaching, I help students see clear connections between languages — making grammar simpler, vocabulary easier to remember and progress faster.

My lessons are practical, engaging and personalized, whether you are preparing for exams, improving speaking and writing, or learning out of interest.

If you want clear explanations, effective methods and a supportive teacher, you’re in the right place.

My name is Noah, and with me you’ll receive personal mentoring focused on developing artistic series, visual language, and coherent photographic projects. We will work with your personal vision, helping you find your own language and strengthen it.

I hold a diploma in Photography as well as in Ceramics Design. I have worked for almost eight years in the movie industry, both as a props maker and as an on-set photographer. Alongside this and my own personal projects, I also worked on fashion collaborations, including 3D scanning and multimedia techniques. So if you feel like mixing things up a bit and are drawn to fine art approaches, you are in the right place :)

I am happy to work with adults who already have their own practice, university students who want to strengthen their uniqueness or clarify their interests, as well as students applying to university. Let me know where and which department you are applying to, and we can build your portfolio together.

I also work with children who love creative activities, as well as with kids who may struggle to relax, express themselves, or connect with their emotions through creative processes.

Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions — I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

(If by any chance you are Hungarian, the class can be held in Hungarian as well!)

Ciao, I am Desi and I’ve been teaching Italian as a foreign language since 1988. I was born in Trento, in northern Italy, and over the years I’ve lived in Brazil, Sardegna, and now in a small village in Abruzzo. I have a degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners and I’m a certified Italian teacher (DILS-PG, University of Perugia).
I’m a patient and understanding teacher, and I love introducing students to Italy beyond the usual stereotypes.
With my Italiano + Arte and Italiano + Storia programs, you can learn Italian while taking a guided journey through Italian art history and/or history. Using images, maps, and videos, we’ll explore Italy’s most fascinating events and cultural heritage, while you naturally improve your Italian.

This class combines practical art skills with inspiring art history and cultural storytelling.

Students will learn essential creative techniques including drawing in an imaginary way the human body and face, colour theory, and expressive mark making. Alongside technical training, we will explore influential artists and artistic movements, with a focus on themes such as legacy, identity, Balkan history, post-Soviet and dissident art traditions.

This course encourages students to develop both their technical confidence and their personal artistic voice. Participants will create their own artwork while learning how history, culture, and storytelling shape artistic expression.

Suitable for beginners and intermediate students who want to develop strong foundations while exploring deeper artistic meaning.

I understand how many students think and why they get stuck, while teachers often struggle with this.
I can therefore convey complex material in a personal way, using examples, visualizations, comparisons, etc.

I often hear after an explanation:
- Oooooh, now I get it!
- Why doesn't the teacher just say this?
- That actually makes sense, yes...

My way of teaching is purely aimed at helping with things that are difficult or unclear.
We sit down and I ask, "What do you need to know for the test?" Then I'm assigned a few theory blocks, and we quickly figure out where things are going wrong, and I make sure it's clear.

A lesson usually lasts until all the material is understood. If that's too much, we usually stop after 1 or 1.5 hours, or when we run out of energy.

Making Latin fun is a herculean task, but if it becomes digestible, even the frustration that often accompanies it will be alleviated.

Let's review declensions together, learn how to easly recognize verb tenses, and learn how to use the dictionary effectively: it must be our best ally.

Perfect grammar and a good command of vocabulary will be our starting point for achieving sensible, error-free translations.
And if your weakness is literature, let's get down to business: get to know the authors, read the texts, take some quizzes.

Nothing is impossible.
