University Greek (Ancient) Tutors & University Greek (Ancient) Tuition

also teach guitar, piano and Italian. Most pupils who come to me have simply lost track or lost confidence. With careful guidance, it usually doesn't take long to put them back on the right track. I can help with the building blocks of grammar, presenting it as a puzzle or a game; I can suggest ways to improve vocabulary; and I can point the way through the complexities of translation and syntax. Even working on...

tuition to be not only a way of fostering independent learning but also as a means of being a mentor and example to inspire others to be the best. I am committed and dedicated to helping students fulfil their potential.

I can also use an online whiteboard which I share with the student during...

to study Classics at university. I offer tuition in Latin and Ancient Greek to degree level and Classical Civilization to A level. I taught for 34 years in schools and I also have considerable experience in private tuition. Teaching should be both a challenging and an enjoyable experience. The study of Latin and Greek requires great rigour and determination on the part of both teacher and student, but the rewards that accompany the study of...

in amateur dramatics, which bears similarity to tutoring. I have a gentle and calm approach to tutoring, ensuring that tutees feel comfortable in asking questions, but at the same time confident in their abilities. The structure of sessions depends on a tutee's preferred learning method as everyone is an individual, so lessons are shaped around personal needs. Consequently, first sessions tend to focus on identifying the strengths and areas of development that a student has,...

the lesson. Together with the tutee, I will then pick a grammar point which stood out in the translation exercise as requiring the most immediate attention. We will spend five to ten minutes working on that, with the tutee's understanding tested with some reinforcement exercises. At the end of the lesson we will recap all the new vocabulary and grammar which was covered, and I will typically set a manageable 20 - 30 minute homework...

possible. I can help if a single session is needed to revise a particular topic, or to advise or give feedback on an essay. I can also offer more continuous support where a paper or module needs to be retaken. It is also possible to undertake a complete course. This can be done with weekly sessions or more or less frequently. For online tutoring I use Skype via the webcam on my computer. Where appropriate...

private tuition, I taught elementary and intermediate Latin for a short time at Marymount International School (a private all-girls school in London), which involved working with students on a one-to-one basis and in large classes. Moreover, I am currently employed as a GSI (Graduate Student Instructor) at Berkeley, where I am teaching undergraduate seminars on Latin grammar and literature. I aim to give my tutees an in-depth understanding of all the required aspects of Latin...

and the effort they have made. I have found that consistently my tutees respond well to positive reinforcement and recognition of even the slightest effort on their part. Often emphasis on achievement encourages interest and the inclination to pursue a subject further and with greater zeal. Another approach which I take is that even students who are struggling are capable of achieving in a particular subject. I don't employ a 'let's scrape by attitude' nor...
