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.

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual 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.
Angelin
Learn to draw, sketch, color/paint with style and confidenceI have completed both Under-graduation and Post-graduation in Fine Arts and PG diploma in Pre&Primary teachers training. My careful preparation of lesson plans allowed me to break down complicated concepts to simple examples that the adult and young students could grasp, which was rewarding for both my students and for me. I always give my best by managing the difference of abilities among my students and tailoring the activities to maintain the interest level of students without any intimidation.

Support and preparation for entrance exams to art schools and preparatory classesBased on my professional experiences, I will help you put together a complete application file to enter a preparatory class or art school.
From my background in the art world and the teachings I had the opportunity to provide in ST2A and DNMADE, I have knowledge of the field of contemporary art, design and artistic crafts.
I will guide you in selecting the works to choose for the portfolio and its layout. I help write a cover letter to identify your strengths, highlight your qualities and ensure the consistency of your profile in line with the school and the requested option.
Reuben
Oxford Classics Graduate offering Latin Language tuition from scratch up to A-Level standardAs a recent Oxford Classics graduate, I am keen to share my love of Latin and the Latin language with any would-be enthusiasts.
I have experience in tutoring Latin from scratch to A-Level equivalent standard.
In these classes, I'll focus on equipping my students with the necessary tools to master grammar and build up their vocabulary repertoire.
We'll focus on strengthening our understanding of the building blocks of the language - noun declensions, verb conjugations, participles and the like - before moving onto more complex syntax such as subjunctive clauses.
My lessons take an active approach so alongside the grammar tables we'll also translate passages of Latin, and I might throw in a fun fact or two!
Anna
Language courses (English; Czech; Classical Latin)I am of Czech origin but I have been living in Strasbourg for 4 years!
I can offer you English lessons (grammar or just to speak :), Czech (if there are any French people who want to learn! :) or Latin (I did 5 years in the Czech Republic and 3 in France at university :)
Will
1st Class Cambridge Graduate – Latin & Ancient Greek ClassesFlexibility is central to my approach, and I will adapt our lesson plans to your specific needs and objectives. I have a deep knowledge of Latin and Greek linguistics, and offer tuition to all levels from Beginner, through GCSE and A-Level, up to those studying Classics at university.
In our first lesson, we'll get to know each other and discuss your objectives and style of learning - I want to understand how you like to learn, what you find easy, and what you find difficult. And from there, we'll develop a well-prepared, interesting and valuable lesson plan.
If learning a language is the scariest thing in the world to you, don't worry! I will always be a friendly, patient and devoted tutor. I have experience tutoring students in 4 different languages over the past 5 years. I understand the importance of sympathy and patience in teaching, and will always be able to slow down or speed up the course of learning as required. Latin and Greek are not easy, but with an experienced and friendly teacher, it can be a brilliant experience!
I'm happy to run lessons of any length, and at any frequency.
At various times in my life I've personally tried to learn almost 20 different languages (though Latin and Greek remain my favourites!), so I know very well how it feels to be staring at a page full of weird-looking words, and not have a clue where to start. Helping people to cut through the chaos, and see the wild beauty of complex languages like Latin and Greek, is one of the most satisfying feelings I've had through my years of tutoring both children and adults. My mission as a tutor will always be more than just to build your ability in these languages, it will be to build your love of them as well.

Language and Culture—Introduction to Traditional Chinese PoetryTraditional Chinese poetry is an extremely captivating literary genre, rich in content and endowed with harmonious melody. It also tells us the stories of the historical periods when these poems were created.
In this course, we will delve deep into the world of traditional Chinese poetry, deciphering the history behind it. At the same time, poetic rhythms will help you quickly establish a solid phonetic foundation in spoken Chinese. Learning poetry is also an essential method for Chinese children when practicing their mother tongue.

Trained painter and Creator-Researcher in the arts gives courses in Painting with historical influencesThis course offers an in-depth exploration of painting, with an emphasis on the techniques, styles, and artistic movements that have marked the history of art. Intended for students of all levels, the course combines practical painting sessions with theoretical studies of iconic works, allowing participants to draw inspiration from old and contemporary masters to develop their own style.
Currently studying art history at the École du Louvre, and having studied in prestigious schools such as the École Olivier de Serres, I am a creator-researcher in contemporary art, specializing in culinary design, which enriches my pedagogical approach with a unique interdisciplinary perspective.
Students will learn to master various painting techniques, such as oil, acrylic, and watercolor, while discovering how these mediums have evolved over the centuries, techniques that I learned in particular during my professional experience in the museographic workshops (decoration painting) of the Louvre Museum. In parallel, discussions and analyses of works of art will allow us to situate the practice of painting in a broader historical and cultural context.

Private lessons in French, English, Spanish, art history, historyWith a master's degree in Language, Literature and Civilization of the English-Speaking World, I took a large number of courses in history, art history and of course languages, literature and translation during my studies at the universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh and Montpellier. This is why I offer courses in most of the literary and linguistic subjects taught in middle and high schools: Spanish (my mother tongue, which I have been teaching for years in private lessons), English (a language I have spoken for almost 15 years and which I taught in the national education system for a year), French, history and art history. All of these subjects fascinate me enormously and I want to pass this passion on to my students. It is entirely possible to combine several of these subjects, which are ultimately very linked to each other.
Macarena Muñoz
School reinforcement for students of all agesI offer my services as tutor for students in subjects such as Spanish, Art History, History, English, Philosophy and other subjects that we can study together. I help in preparing for exams, doing homework and exercises together, explaining the content in a way that is easier for the student than simply reading the text, study techniques, such as making summaries and diagrams, etc.

Art and Politics: companion studies for A level and undergraduate Art History.The class will chart the development of European, American and International art history from 1900 to the present day, beginning with Post-Impressionism and its off-springs Cubism and Expressionism, the move into Abstraction post-war, to Conceptualism and Minimalism of the 1960s and 1970s which still have significant relevance in today's Contemporary art world. The focus will be on the wider political issues that impacted art history of the time, thereby using art history as a novel and unique lens through which we can gauge world history events, and its politics, in a potentially new and interesting light.
