A perfect combination of expertise and passion: learn Classics with a PhD!

Update: I got the results - Valentina coached me for a year to complete a GCSE in Classical Greek, and was an excellent tutor. Her dedication and passion for her subject was clear throughout, and I learned so much not only about the language itself but about the culture and lives of the Ancient Greeks. I appreciated her flexibility and willingness to accomodate my changing schedule. Thank you so much!

Valentina coached me for a year in order to achieve a GCSE in Ancient Greek. Going from a beginner at the start of the year, I learned so much not only about the language itself but about the culture and lives of the Ancient Greeks. Valentina's passion for her subject was clear and she was incredibly accommodating of my changing schedule. Thank you so much!

Valentina is completing a doctoral dissertation on Ancient Greek literature at KCL and I am the secondary supervisor on her project. I am fully confident that Valentina will deliver tuition in Ancient Greek of the very highest calibre.

I have known Valentina for three years (we are both PhD students in classics). Her reliability and sense of responsibility are impressive, especially in her work. I had the opportunity to attend one of her lectures at King's college and I cannot deny that her delivery method is remarkably clear, as well as supported by a wide and deep knowledge of the subject. She can be professionally detached and empathetic at the same time, qualities which make a substantial difference in teaching.

As Valentina's PhD supervisor since the autumn of 2017, I am very happy to recommend her as an experienced and supportive teacher, and a genuinely caring individual. She can be relied on to be well prepared for whatever teaching brief she takes on, and to facilitate her pupils' learning with both a sense of the excitement of the subject and (when needed) a steadying calm.

Valentina is a great tutor - she is a real expert in Ancient Greek, and she is friendly, organised, and always enthusiastic about her subject!

I am a PhD student colleague of Valentina's who has known her for several years and has worked with her in the past while chairing a year-long seminar series. She is knowledgable, reliable, friendly, and great at communicating what she knows. I would recommend her as a tutor to anyone!

I've known Valentina as her PhD supervisor since the autumn of 2017, and have seen her work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant with our Year I undergraduates. She is an experienced and supportive teacher and a genuinely caring person, who can be relied on to be well prepared for whatever teaching brief she takes on, and to facilitate her pupils' learning with both a sense of the excitement of the subject and (when needed) a steadying calm.
