Online Latin Tutor Arianna

Born and raised in Italy, I completed my higher education in the UK. I love Greek and Roman Mythology, Latin Literature and both Ancient and Modern Languages. A native speaker of Italian and fluent in English and Portuguese, I am currently expanding my knowledge of Spanish. I am a voracious reader and enjoy creative writing in my free time.

I am a qualified teacher of Latin and Classics, with a PGCE from the University of Cambridge and a BA (Hons) and MA from the University of Manchester.
I teach Latin, Classical Civilisation, Ancient History, Theory of Knowledge, Italian and Humanities throughout KS3 and 4, and sixth form. I have been teaching in grammar schools as well as tutoring students in Latin, Italian and Classical Civilisation, both in person and online for more than 5 years. Moreover, I have experience as a GCSE and A-Level Italian examiner.
I offer tutoring in those subjects as well as detailed notes, mind maps and revision resources tailored on the student's needs - just ask for more details.

My teaching approach for Latin is reading based, building on grammar and vocabulary whilst enjoying the cultural and historical side. With regards to Italian, my approach builds up conversation and listening skills, using podcasts and grammar textbooks.

Experienced with the WJEC, OCR and IB exam boards, for Latin, Ancient Greek, Classical Civilisation and Ancient History; Edexcel and AQA for Italian.

Areas of experise in Latin: Poetry of Catullus, Ovid, Virgil, Horace, Propertius and Tibullus; Historiography by Livy, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, Tacitus. My MA dissertation was on Ovid's Heroides.

Areas of experise in A Level Classical Civilisation (OCR modules): World of the Hero, Love and Relationships, Politics of the Late Republic, Greek Theatre, Greek Religion, Greek Art, Democracy and the Athenians and Imperial Image.

GCSE Classical Civilisation : Myth and Religion, Homeric World, Women in the Ancient World
