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.

Latin for Beginners: prep for entrance exams at 13+
In this Latin course, I offer "Common Entrance at 13+" training (including scholarship papers) for those students who have studied Latin for one or two years, and would like to revise, do translations and read from fun books such as Minimus or So you really want to learn Latin. Plenty of cultural stories and mythology in the mix, besides battles and august men. A basic understanding of grammar (or willingness to learn) expected. Ideally, students ought to be doing Latin at school and preferably have a second language (a Romance language ideal for securing a higher grade).

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

Introduction to Film History (the class is in English)
This course offers a dynamic exploration of filmmaking as a timeline, weaving together the evolution of cinematic movements, genres, and influential auteurs with their corresponding geopolitical and historical contexts. Students will examine how film has both reflected and shaped societal narratives across different eras and regions. Key themes and topics include: The Birth of Cinema: Early experiments in motion pictures and the silent era's groundbreaking innovations. Movements and Revolutions: From German Expressionism and Italian Neorealism to the French New Wave and beyond. Genres Across Time: The rise of key genres, such as noir, science fiction, and musicals, and their social significance. Auteur Theory: In-depth analysis of iconic directors whose works have defined and challenged cinematic norms. Global Perspectives: Exploration of world cinema, including Asian, African, and Latin American contributions to the art form. Cinema as Social Commentary: Films as responses to historical moments, such as wars, revolutions, and cultural shifts. By tracing the interplay between filmmaking and historical events, students will gain a deeper appreciation for the art form’s capacity to influence and be influenced by the world around it.

Learn (modern) Greek for everyday use, university, tourism with FUN and passion / (ancient) Greek for school and university
I am a native speaker of Greek. I graduated from a Greek high school and, later, the University of Athens where I attended courses in pedagogics, psychology, and linguistics. During our lessons, I'll help you develop your skills (oral/written, and not only). I'll also try to help you improve your pronunciation and spelling. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary. I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching Greek, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels, mainly individually. I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face). During my lessons I use : - Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you, - Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep, - sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc. - books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc. - pronunciation/spelling/grammar games, - authentic materials were taken from websites. I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding. What can I teach? - I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation), - I would love to help you prepare for state certificates such as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. - I would love to help you with homework and assignments (literature, history) from school and university (but please contact me about that IN ADVANCE). Regarding Ancient Greek, I can help you with commentaries/translations/grammar/syntax: - Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, - Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, Sappho, - Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon.

This course is addressed to those who: ---Wish to gain a basic knowledge in Ancient Greek. ---Wish to prepare especially for their exams in Ancient Greek (university entrance exams for senior high school students or university students of all levels). ---Wish to learn Ancient Greek in depth and gradually gain access to literature, culture, and ancient history.

Reuben
Oxford Classics Graduate offering Latin Language tuition from scratch up to A-Level standard
As 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

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 Classes
Flexibility 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.
