Roxana

I am a Classics graduate from UCL with extensive experience in tutoring Latin, Ancient Greek and Classical Civilisation at all levels. I have completed my Masters degree in Classics with Distinction at UCL and my Bachelors degree with First Class Honours at UCL in 2015. I am currently a final year PhD student in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Manchester.

I have extensive experience in tutoring Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation from beginner`s up to university undergraduate level. I have been tutoring adult learners as well. I have experience in exam preparation, GCSE, A-levels and scholarship exams at College. Most recently one of my tutees got into Winchester College on a full scholarship.

During my PhD and Masters I have been working with Greek papyri extensively. During my own studies I have completed numerous linguistic modules (Greek Texts, Latin Texts, History of the Latin Language, Greek Papyrology, Greek Translation, Latin Translation, Latin Palaeography, History of Greek and Dialects of the Greek Literature), and I have taught modules at undergraduate level as well. As both my PhD and Masters focused on papyrology, I have great experience in some specific disciplines of classical studies, such as papyrology and palaeography. Besides the study of ancient languages I also enjoy studying and teaching Ancient History, Greek Tragedy, Greek Myth and Roman Comedy.

Each tutorial focuses on the needs and aims of the individuals with structured lesson plans. Grammar and vocabulary are essential parts of learning Latin and Ancient Greek - I pay very great attention to these skills and aim to improve them in an interactive, productive and interesting way. I use various materials to make the lessons interesting, visual and very educational at the same time. I always discuss the goals and expectations of each student, and I give feedback after each lesson about the progress they have made.

Currently I am only available for online tuition.
