About Me
Born and raised in Italy, I obtained my BA, MA and PGCE (teaching qualification) 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.
Tutor Experience
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 6 years. Moreover, I have experience as a GCSE and A-Level Italian examiner.
I am also a fully-trained IB teacher with experience in both Standard and Higher Latin, Classical Civilisation and TOK.
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 and Ancient Greek 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.
Topic Expertise
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 expertise in Latin: Poetry of Catullus, Ovid, Virgil, Horace, Propertius and Tibullus; Historiography by Livy, Suetonius, Cassius Dio and Tacitus. My MA dissertation was on Ovid's Heroides.
Areas of expertise 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
Client Reviews
Arianna is extremely kind and responds very quick. Arianna is very flexible, I told her about my deadline she ensured that she would provide feedback in time. The feedback I received was very beneficial and helped me to finalise my TOK essay. Overall, she helped me very much and I would highly recommend her as a tutor.
Gabriel - Theory of Knowledge
super helpful !
Lucrezia - Theory of Knowledge
For ToK, her comments are quite superficial and focus on writing style. Also she failed to give her comments, based on the comments of my kid's teacher/ marker. Not suitable for my situation.
William - Theory of Knowledge
Arianna provided excellent support, both in the online classes and offline review sessions. I am very grateful for her support in TOK.
Isabelle - Theory of Knowledge
Arianna provided clear and insightful feedback on my daughter's TOK essay draft. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and goes above and beyond to help accommodate deadlines. Huge thank you!
maria - Theory of Knowledge
Arianna is a wonderful IB TOK tutor. She responds very fast and made herself available on a very short notice to provide feedback on my daughters TOK exhibition during a critical time. Her comments are of very high quality, really relevant and insightful and with high attention to detail. You can tell she has put in a lot of efforts into providing feedback that can help lift the score of my daughters TOK exhibition. Huge thank you, Arianna!!!

Testimonials
“Arianna is a truly excellent tutor. In the space of three months, she has fined-tuned my home-schooled daughter’s Latin language skills and hugely boosted her confidence in, and enthusiasm for, analysing her GCSE prose & verse set texts. She has done this by quickly winning my daughter’s trust and respect, by being extremely responsive to her needs and by intellectually stimulating her. Her communication with me as a parent has been faultless. I have no doubt my daughter will have done extremely well in her Latin GCSE with Arianna’s help & support.”

Ms Arianna has really helped me to build my confidence in Latin. Her wonderful teaching methods and resources have really made a difference, especially with certain parts of the course that I struggled with.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We are delighted with Arianna - she has been tutoring my daughter in year 13 Latin for the past 2 months. Arianna explains issues very clearly, is thorough, and ensures that my daughter understands the topic before moving on - she is also responsive to what my daughter needs. Arianna is also very organised and responsive to my emails.”

“Arianna was great with my son for Latin. He was panicking just before his GCSE where he found out a lot of the course had not been covered. Arianna helped him find all the resources he needed urgently and was very flexible with last minute lessons and marked papers that he completed at the last minute providing excellent feedback for him. He achieved a Grade 9 in Latin. Thanks so much Arianna!”
