Welcome from Valentina
I do like to assess the student level and needs first, then tailor my lessons accordingly, focusing on the student's strengths to make easier for them to gain enough confidence, then they are ready to work together on their weakest points.

Teaching experience
With 15 years experience studying classics first in college, then for BA and MA, both hons, I am as enthusiast about working on the ancient world as I am to transmit my life passion to other students. I am currently a PhD candidate in Greek literature at Kings Cololege, London, and I have worked there as a Graduate Teaching Assistant too, in charge of the weekly seminars at undergraduate level. Proficiency in English was an entry requirement for this position and the right to work in England, so I am more than happy in helping others prepare for the certification exams. I am an Italian native speaker, and I have undertaken Grammar, Literature and Language exams at University level with outstanding marks. Feedback from my students has always been positive, and I am keen to receive more to improve and tailor my lessons to the students needs.

TESTIMONIAL
Valentina Barrile teaches me Ancient Greek at advanced beginner's level. She is a highly knowledgeable, skilled and patient teacher. She can adapt with ease to your level and to your style and pace of learning. As well as taking you through a course she brings her own material to the lessons. You can ask all sorts of questions about the language and background to the texts you read, confident that you will get a good answer. Whether you are studying for exams or for peesonal pleasure you will get what you need. Valentina is kind, courteous and has a good sense of humour. I recommend her strongly as a teacher and guide to a subject that can be difficult at times but is rich. With Valentina your efforts will be encouraged and repaid.
