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.

May 2026: 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).

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.

I offer personal online lessons in art history and visual culture for students, beginners and curious adult learners. My teaching style is conversational, supportive and adapted to your interests or study goals.

Together, we can explore the classical canon of art history, analyse individual artworks, prepare for exams or essays, or focus on a specific artist, period or movement. I place strong emphasis on understanding artworks through the context of their time, historical thinking and different ways of interpretation, including approaches inspired by the Vienna School of Art History.

I have around 10 years of teaching experience and currently teach visual culture and art history at secondary school level. My goal is to help you look at art with more confidence, curiosity and depth.

Are you struggling to understand historical topics, structure essays, analyse sources, or prepare for an exam? I offer clear and engaging history lessons adapted to each student’s age, level, and goals.

I graduated from the British international school system and achieved 100% in AS British History. My strongest areas include ancient and medieval history, British history, warfare, classical civilisation, Hellenic mythology, the Cold War, and Black American history.

Lessons can focus on exam preparation, essay planning, source analysis, revision, historical debate, or the detailed study of a particular period. I explain not only what happened, but also the causes, consequences, people, and ideas behind historical events.

My teaching style is structured but conversational. I encourage students to ask questions, develop their own arguments, and build confidence step by step. Each lesson is individually prepared to make history understandable, memorable, and genuinely interesting.

Latin Tutoring — Specializing in Ecclesiastical Latin

Would you like to learn Latin in a way that helps you read and understand Latin texts?

I offer personalized Latin lessons for beginners and continuing students, with a particular focus on Ecclesiastical Latin and the Latin of the Christian tradition.

Whether you are starting Latin from scratch, working through a particular textbook, studying Latin for personal enrichment, or hoping to read Scripture, prayers, liturgical texts, and other works of the Christian tradition in the original Latin, lessons can be adapted to your level and goals.

What we can work on:

* Latin grammar and syntax, explained clearly and systematically
* Vocabulary and word formation
* Translation and reading comprehension
* Ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation and reading aloud
* Parsing and understanding individual words and sentences
* Reading the Latin of the Vulgate
* Liturgical and devotional Latin
* Reading authentic Latin texts
* Developing confidence and fluency in reading Latin

I place particular emphasis on understanding how Latin sentences are constructed. We will work carefully with cases, conjugations, vocabulary, syntax, and the relationships between words, helping you develop a strong foundation for reading and translating Latin independently.

My primary interest and specialization is Ecclesiastical Latin, including its traditional pronunciation and the rich tradition of Latin Christian texts. I can also assist students studying Classical Latin, depending on their needs and level.

Lessons are relaxed, patient, and tailored to the individual student. No previous knowledge of Latin is required.

If you have a particular book, text, or course you are currently studying, you are very welcome to bring it to the lesson.

I studied Latin myself for seven and a half years in school, so I'm very familiar with the most common difficulties: declensions, conjugations, sentence structure, and translating complex texts. Thanks to my extensive experience as a language teacher (German, French), I use structured and patient teaching methods that make even a language considered "dead," like Latin, accessible and understandable.

My Latin classes are especially suitable for:

Students who need help with homework, grammar, or text translation.
Exam and test preparation
For those who want to refresh their knowledge of Latin.

I work in a structured way, I break down the grammar into clear steps and adapt the pace to your level.

Ich habe selbst 71⁄2 Jahre lang Latein in der Schule gelernt und kenne daher genau die typischen Stolpersteine: Deklinationen, Konjugationen, Satzbau und das Übersetzen komplexer Texte. With my main language Erfahrung als Sprachlehrer (Deutsch, Französisch) Bringe ich zusätzlich strukturierte, geduldige Lehrmethoden mit, die auch bei einer "toten" Sprache wie Latein den Stoff greifbar und verständlich machen.

Meine Latein-Lektionen eignen sich kissers für:

Schüler/-innen, die Nachhilfe bei Hausaufgaben, Grammatik oder Textübersetzung brauchen
Prüfungsvorbereitung für Schularbeiten and Klassenarbeiten
Wiedereinsteiger, die ihre Lateinkenntnisse auffrischen möchten

Ich arbeite strukturiert, erkläre Grammatik in clear, nachvollziehbaren Schritten and passe das Tempo an dein individuelles Niveau an.

Hello! My name is Alexandros, and I’m a professional, passionate, and experienced teacher of Ancient Greek, specializing in Ancient Greek Literature. I’ve been teaching for years, and I strive to make learning a meaningful, personal, and enjoyable experience.
What makes my lessons truly special is the bridge I build between language and culture. While I teach all levels of Ancient Greek, I offer three specialized tracks that I am particularly passionate about:
• Homeric Greek: Dive into the world of the heroes of the Iliad and Odyssey.
• Platonic Greek: Explore the elegance of Attic prose and the philosophical depth of Socrates.
• Koine Greek: Read the New Testament and Hellenistic texts in their original historical context.

Sono un dottorando in Filologia Classica presso la Ruhr University Bochum e ho esperienza nell’insegnamento del latino e delle materie letterarie nella scuola superiore.
Offro lezioni personalizzate di latino e greco antico rivolte a studenti delle scuole superiori, universitari e adulti. Le lezioni possono concentrarsi sul recupero delle lacune, sulla grammatica, sulla sintassi, sulla traduzione e sulla preparazione di verifiche, interrogazioni, esami di maturità ed esami universitari.
Il mio metodo è chiaro, graduale e adattato alle esigenze di ogni studente. Partiamo dalle difficoltà specifiche e lavoriamo attraverso spiegazioni semplici, esempi ed esercizi mirati. L’obiettivo è comprendere meglio i testi, acquisire un metodo di traduzione efficace e diventare progressivamente autonomi nello studio.

How do you move from making individual artworks to developing a practice that feels genuinely your own?

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of international experience. In these individual mentoring sessions, I work with artists and creative people who want to develop a more personal artistic language, deepen their ideas, or reconnect with a practice that has become stuck or uncertain.

Rather than teaching a particular style or giving you formulas to follow, we look closely at what already interests you: recurring images, materials, questions, experiences, contradictions and ways of thinking. From there, we explore how these elements can become part of a stronger and more individual body of work.

Our sessions may involve discussion of your current work, experimentation, sketchbooks, writing, research, contemporary art and art history, as well as artists, writers and thinkers relevant to the questions emerging from your practice.

We can work on questions such as: What makes your work yours? Which ideas are worth pursuing? How can you develop a concept without simply illustrating it? How can research become part of the work? How do you recognise and move beyond habits, imitation or creative blocks?

This mentoring is suitable for people who want more than technical instruction and are interested in developing an independent, thoughtful and sustainable creative practice.

Sessions are available in English or Portuguese and are shaped around each person's interests, work and creative process.

Latin and Greek are beautiful but difficult languages to learn. Many students lose heart and motivation after a few bad grades. Together, we will look at where your stumbling blocks lie, and from there, I will help you move forward. I align as much as possible with your schoolwork. I also provide you with tools and strategies to learn (vocabulary) and translate better. This way, you strengthen the foundation, your results improve, and you go to class with more enjoyment and self-confidence again.
I also provide Latin and Greek exam training, including interim training for school exams.

I offer individual Latin lessons for secondary school and Gymnasium students as well as adults who are preparing for a Latin examination.

Lessons are adapted to the learner’s current level, school materials and specific examination requirements. The focus can include:

• Latin grammar and morphology
• Verb forms, participles, gerund and gerundive
• Pronouns and case functions
• Syntax and sentence analysis
• Translation strategies
• Vocabulary and efficient use of dictionaries
• Reading and interpretation of original Latin texts
• Preparation for school tests and final examinations
• Individual preparation for Latin examinations at university or in adult education

For students, I can work directly with their school textbook, worksheets and current reading material. For examination preparation, we can systematically identify gaps in grammar and develop an individual study plan.

My academic background includes Romance Languages and Literature at the University of Vienna as well as completed coursework in Classical Philology (Latin). This academic background, together with my teaching experience, allows me to explain Latin grammar systematically and to make connections with German and the Romance languages.

I provide structured explanations, individual exercises and additional digital learning materials where useful.

Lessons are available online and in person in Liechtenstein and selected locations in eastern Switzerland.
