I have recently graduated from Oxford with top marks in Classics. I have done a lot of work as a guide at the Ashmolean Museum and have a particular interest in Classical Greek art and history.
Each person has particular needs and priorities. Classics requires to develop a broad set of skills, particularly language skills. I like to prompt students to work as self-starters making sure the grammar is solid. Being fairly mobile, I am happy to employ digital media including Skype.
My main experience has been teaching English to Italian students before university. While at uni I have taken part in multiple outreach and access projects engaging with students of various ages, promoting Classics. Having worked as a guide on multiple occasions I am very much aware of needing to combine information with making the content interesting and fun.
I like music (especially singing) and sport (especially ballroom dancing and fencing). I have a passion for languages, being fluent in Italian and English
