Classical Languages (Latin and Ancient Greek) + Italian

Learning Classical languages can be a hard challenge to students, regardless of age and education background. My course is designed to facilitate the learning of Latin and Ancient Greek at any level, by focusing especially on historical grammar so that my students understand the way these languages work rather than just learning by heart.

Whenever a new grammar topic is addressed, I am going to work with my students on relevant translations so that they can fully improve their learning with actual practice. Texts will be thoughtfully chosen in accordance with my students' level in advance.

For those wishing to improve their Italian, my speaking classes are designed for students with a good knowledge who want to enhance their speaking and listening skills. My conversation classes are also meant to make my students more familiar with the huge variety of dialects and accents that are commonly spoken throughout the Italian peninsula, a phenomenon which can turn out puzzling to learners opting for a living experience in Italy.

About Me

- I consider myself an exceptionally patient and understanding tutor. As a former student, I do recognise how struggling classical languages and Italian can be to English-speaking students. My lessons are, therefore, tailored to be as clear and approachable as possible.

- I have always been passionate about teaching and helping other people to overcome their difficulties ever since school. My lessons are tailored to everyone, from beginners to advanced learners. My supportiveness has always turned out beneficial to my students in need for help, regardless of age and level.

- If you are looking specifically for Italian speaking tutroing, I am more than happy to hold information conversations in which my students can feel at ease in a comfortable, supportive and non-judgemental enviroment. Enjoying a new language is a fundamental step towards lifelong learning.

Education

I have recently completed my BA in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick, achieving a first class at the end of my degree. I am now attendind a MA in scriptwriting at CSM, London.

Experience / Qualifications

I tutored for the last two years in cooperation with the Warwick Classics Department by holding Latin and Greek grammar classes for struggling first year students. I often tutored independently during winter and summer holidays from my home in Italy.

Kevin
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.

Italian lessons. Italian lessons online or in person.
- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living in Rome. I have 10 years teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests and availability of the student. - The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course and for each lesson I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

A History of Italian Cinema: from Silent Film, to Neorealism, Auteur Cinema, and Contemporary Film
The history of Italian cinema is rich, vibrant and full of surprises. In this class, we will undertake a unique journey from its origins, with the establishment of Italian Silent Film and the so-called Golden Era, throughout the many developments and discoveries of the twentieth century, and all the way to what is Italian Cinema today. We will discuss and analyse films that played a remarkable role in shaping modern cinema: from the school of Neorealism to the auteur tradition of film directors such as Fellini, Antonioni, Visconti, Bertolucci, and many more. We will learn the language of cinema and discover a new way to unlock the meaning and artistry of filmmaking. About this course, this is a one-of-a-kind class accessible to everyone and that combines materials taught at university level with the flexibility and fun of one-on-one bespoke courses.

Marsilda
Italian from a native | All levels A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2
Ciao, My name is Marsilda. I am a professional Italian teacher for 10 years with a bachelor's and master's degree. I currently live in Italy and I am here to help you with Italian, the language of love. Since I was a child I spoke two languages in my family. I know what it feels like to learn a new language, that’s why I know how to encourage, understand, and establish a good relationship with my students. I’ve been teaching since I was 19 when I left home for college. I was mainly tutoring and helping students with homework at that time. In 2020 because of COVID, I started to work online as a translator, private teacher of Italian, and everything that involved the Italian language. In my lessons we not only learn a language, but if you like, we can learn about Italian culture, traditions, religion, food 😁 and so on. Usually, to facilitate learning, I use innovative methods, such as recommending TV shows or movies, books, songs, poems, and everything that piques the student's interest. Then we comment together in class. One important thing for me is that my students speak the language every day, not just twice a week we have the lesson. This is fundamental to accustom the brain to become more and more familiar with the language. That’s why I recommend apps, songs, and sites where you can keep your language trained until our next lesson. If I haven’t convinced you yet, come take a class with me. In a few months you will be ready to speak Italian and who knows, maybe experience what you learned with a nice trip here in Italy. Some information regarding me: --- Masters Degree: Trento University, Italy. --- Bachelor's Degree: Gabriele D'Annunzio University Pescara, Italy. --- Experience in Tutoring: 10 years. Thank You, Sincerely, Marsilda Luku

Tanya
Italian and Spanish with a polyglot (8 languages) and Professional language coach
Hi! I'm Tanya. I was born in Italy, but I have spent the last two years of my life traveling the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East and Central Asia, traveling and working remotely. I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, and panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice. I have a language degree, I am certified in international law, and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language but also how to learn new languages! I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills! That's because I like learning new languages! That's why, after years of studying, I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and devised a method to teach you the language you want to learn! Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way. My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience, I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language. My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning. My lessons are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic. GROUP LESSONS possible! See you soon! :-)

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Silvia
Online private lessons in Italian language, culture, and lifestyle. All levels. Master of Arts Leiden University, Ditals I.
If you wish to brush up your Italian, resume a past series of lessons, or simply start from scratch learning Italian, this is the right lesson for you! I like to personalize each class/course according to the needs and goals of my students. My classes are focused on improving the student's communication skills. At beginner and lower intermediate levels, I prefer using a text book/ student book in the first part of the class. I usually use "Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano" and "Arrivederci" by Edilingua, or "Nuovo Espresso" and "Dieci" by Alma Publishing. For the second part of the lesson, I create engaging contents using original videos, press articles, extracts from blogs and social media, literary texts. If the students do not feel comfortable using Italian from scratch, I can switch to English, German, or Dutch. The course fee includes the correction of home assignments.
