Experience
Tutor in Italian, Latin, Ancient Greek. I am an Italian native speaker and a current PhD student in Classics. I was born and raised in Venice until I came to the US to attend university. I have tutored in these languages for several years and I am able to tutor students of all levels, from complete beginners to those who already have some experience. I am open to tutoring students of any age interested in learning Italian, Latin, or Ancient Greek. I previously graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Humanities. I studied Italian literature, Latin, and Ancient Greek for several years. My tutoring approach is based both on the level of preparation of the student and his/her particular needs. I make sure that the student has the necessary time to apprehend new concepts and memorize the necessary vocabulary and grammatical structures. I like to incorporate different teaching techniques and use different types of learning materials: grammar charts, vocabulary lists, textbook exercises, translations of passages of original texts. I also consider speaking practice a very important part of the learning process. I adjust my teaching style to the learning style and level of the student. Some students need help with homework, class assignments, and their own textbook; others need to practice conversation without any particular book. In general, I like to use a variety of materials and media (e.g. dialogues, grammar. translation, etc.) There are some textbooks that I can suggest.
