Emanuele
Certified Tutor
I am a Classics graduate (BA and MA) from the University of Pisa, Italy, and the Scuola Normale Superiore.For the last few years, I have taught Italian, Latin, Ancient Greek (including New Testament Greek) to a wide range of students, from primary school children to adult learners, for both private learning and school tuition.
While I love talking about all aspects of Classical and Italian languages and cultures, I tend to be more in my element when it comes to dealing with grammar and translation technique, especially for literary texts. For this reason as well, I welcome students who need preparation for exams that require a reading of texts: AP Latin, but also the British exams such as Common Entrance +13, GCSE, IGCSE, A and AS Levels. I have experience with a variety of curriculums and textbooks ("Cambridge Latin Course", "Minimus", "Latin for the New Millennium" etc.) and I enjoy drawing on multiple sources to challenge my students' skills and knowledge.
What I do, next to figuring out what the student needs and how to get them to where they need to be, is also to provide confidence and trust in their knowledge and their way of reasoning their way out of a linguistic puzzle. As a tutor, I am not your teacher so I won't mark your work: in fact, I make a point of being professional and understanding, and providing you with a safe, non-judgemental space where you are free to make all the mistakes you need! (up to a point, that is) Generally speaking, I just want you to feel empowered, confident, and knowledgeable.

Within my subjects, I am interested in literature and poetry, especially Archaic and Hellenistic Greek poetry (like Homer and Theocritus), Roman republican poetry (Plautus, Catullus, Virgil...). As a way of keeping it fresh, I love listening to audio lectures about the Ancient World, as well as about History, Geography, Music, Science and many other subjects. I love learning languages and I plan on learning at least one Indo-European language per sub-family. I also love doing music: singing, whistling, playing the flute. In my free time, I walk about town browsing charity shops, bookshops, and cafés.
