PhD in Classical Greek
I've taught Classical Greek for nearly two decades. This exposure has offered me the tools to adjust my lessons to each student's criteria. My expertise lies in the linguistic aspects of Classical Greek, and its literary and cultural treasures. This background allows me to teach a deep understanding of the subject.
My goal as a tutor is to encourage critical thinking skills and active participation in every student. I focus on understanding the nuances, context, and the very nature of Classical Greek. By introducing discussions and challenging students to voice their interpretations, I make sure they are truly engaged. My teaching strategies are based on the standards of the IB curriculum. Moreover, my sessions are student-centric. I guide, facilitate, and inspire all my pupils.
I can’t find any worthy words to describe Ariadne’s Greek language skills. She worked strategically with me to achieve high grades in the IB Greek exam. She is calm, approachable, patient and works methodically. My confidence elevated after regular lessons with Ariadne. Ideal teacher, cannot recommend her enough.
What an excellent tutor for Classical Greek!!

My primary focus has been on student-centered learning in my career. Over the years, I've worked with many types of students, learning from them as much as they've learned from me. This hands-on experience has given me insights into the varied pace, style, and approach each student requires. Observing and adapting to these differences has allowed me to facilitate a productive learning environment.
I believe that learning is impossible without clear communication. I make it a priority to communicate Classical Greek grammar and clearly. Furthermore, I've incorporated problem-solving into my sessions. I urge my students to approach issues critically, applying what they've learned to find solutions. This boosts their confidence and guarantees they're actively engaging with the material.

My career has allowed me to sharpen my communication skills. Our sessions will always have clarity and understanding regardless of your prior exposure to the subject. Are you weak in Greek conjugations or text passages? My problem-solving abilities will come to the rescue!
In my tutoring sessions, I plan everything based on a student's goals and preferences. My background in the IB curriculum helps in this. I use a methodical approach to progress-tracking. This guarantees that a student's learning is continuously moving forward, with each milestone clearly defined. Moreover, I add feedback and assessment in my approach. After each session, I provide detailed feedback, highlighting strengths and weaknesses.
As an IB student, Cassandra’s sessions are a delight. Insightful, patient and encouraging while always taking time to indulge in some fun. If you want to test her skills, try an introductory lesson. I promise you, you will not look back.
I really enjoyed working with Cassandra. She’s so patient, clever, and knows the language in and out. These qualities make me trust her blindly.

After getting a 6 in my IB Greek exam, I decided to empower other pupils to do the same. I know exactly what the IB examiners want to see on the test. This, combined with my fluency in Classical Greek, makes me capable of teaching this subject. I never compromise on my professionalism. I make sure that each student receives the attention, resources, and support.
How I teach a language to students depends on their current linguistic knowledge. For instance, it is common sense that beginners demand the highest attention and resources. They also need a slower pace to absorb the new language properly. But those students who can already read and write Classical Greek will pick up things quicker. So I adjust my teaching accordingly.
Oliver is a great Classical Greek teacher! He’s patient and knowledgeable, always well prepared. My daughter enjoys his sessions a lot!
Sir Oliver is a very kind teacher with the right amount of humor! His patience is also impressive. I would recommend him if you're a beginner and you would like to learn Greek like a native!
I loved our session today. Sir Oliver definitely exceeded my expectations. I’m going to book more lessons with him.
