Online Classical Greek Lessons
Latin, Classical Greek, Classical Civilisation, lessons in Marlborough and Brighton, UK. Happy to teach prep school and secondary school pupils as well as adult learners.
With seven years' experience of teaching and tutoring Classics in a variety of contexts, I am a kind and knowledgeable tutor, who sets high standards of her tutees. I tailor my tuition to each individual person's needs and interests, making learning interesting, challenging and fun.
I have been teaching all levels of all three classical subjects in UK secondary schools since 2005. Currently Head of Classics.
/ Domenico P.
I am an enthusiastic PhD researcher/student in Classics at the University of Cambridge, where I also completed a BA in Classics (grade: First Class Honours) and MPhil in Classics (grade: Distinction; Classical Members’ Essay Prize for the year’s best MPhil theses). I am originally from Italy, where I completed the Italian equivalent of A-Levels in various subjects, including Italian.
I have tutoring experience and university-level teaching experience:
- Postgraduate Teaching Assistant (running reading classes on Ovid’s Ars Amatoria, Sallust’s Catiline, Homer’s Iliad), Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge (2021-).
- Supervisor (leading small-group teaching sessions on Greek and Latin translation, Greek epic, Aristophanes’ Frogs, Euripides’ Bacchae, the Greek Novel, and female characters, voices, and authors in Greek literature, from Alcman to Julia Balbilla), Clare College, Murray Edwards College, St Catherine’s College, Emmanuel College, St John’s College, University of Cambridge (2021-).
- Invited Lecturer for third-year undergraduate students (‘Homeric Reception: Greek Literature’s Odysseuses’), University of Cambridge (08/05/2021).
I am an extremely patient, empathetic teacher and I tailor my lessons to each individual student. My mission is to get all students to the level required for performing as well as possible in their exams and concretely improve their knowledge of Ancient Greek, Latin, Italian and every topic related to 'Classical Civilisation'.
I am currently Head of Classics at a leading independent school in Cheshire. My speciality subjects are Latin and Greek languages and literature. I have 15 years of experience in teaching to pupils from KS3 to Oxbridge level in schools and I have also taught adults outside of school. In addition to teaching and improving students from the ages of 11 to 18, I can teach older students who need to learn/improve their Latin and/or Greek for university courses, as well as those who wish to learn for their own personal interest with no intention of taking a formal assessment. I prefer to tutor online and I can provide electronic copies of all the materials. All notes made by myself during tutor sessions are emailed to the student immediately after the lesson for consolidation. I like to make my lessons enjoyable and engaging while guaranteeing clear explanations and, above all, marked improvement and success. I look forward to meeting you.
Secondary school teacher experienced in teaching Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation to a wide range of abilities.
