About Cristiana
Hello, my name is Cristiana. I am a trilingual 23 year old young professional and Oxbridge graduate. I have an extensive and multidisciplinary background in the humanities as well as extensive experience as an educator and tutor.
In terms of my expertise, I have started my university career studying Classics, after studying Classical culture and languages for 5 years as part of my IB studies in Italy. After converting to Sociology and Social Anthropology for my BA, I pursued an MSc in Comparative Social Policy at Oxford which I completed with a distinction.
As a result of my academic career, I have developed sophisticated critical analysis and communication skills in essay, dissertation, and exam preparation. As part of my tutoring experience, I have taught both GCSE and A-level students in Sociology, Latin, Greek and Italian. In particular, I have a thorough knowledge of the OCR and AQA specifications and exams.
Beyond the knowledge and skills I can offer, what I believe is most valuable is my passion for teaching and the empathy, perceptiveness and flexibility that characterise my teaching style. The approach I prefer is one that combines fact-learning with critical thinking - after breaking down concepts and helping tutees internalise them in a straightforward way, I like to help my students 'question the question' and discover new and interesting takes on the matter at hand, or create connections with other fields of study. In my experience this is what really turns on the curiosity switch in learners.
More generally, I have had the privilege to tutor a wide range of young people. This has taught me the value of learning from my tutees and has helped me develop the skills to adapt my style to the needs of different audiences to best focus my students' attention and develop their thirst for knowledge.

Perfect! AS level Greek translation help
Cristiana was incredibly patient and clear with her explanations, helping me to fully understand all of the sentence structures and after having translated every word, how they slot together to form a 'correct' English translation.
Subject : Ancient Greek
Outcome : I now feel better able to approach a translation with a clear mind, and to break it down efficiently into manageable chunks.Perfect! Subject : Latin

Cristiana tutored me in Ancient Greek during my first year at uni. I started classics with a foundation in Latin but no knowledge of Greek. Cristiana assisted me throughout the year in my language learning. She was very patient and responsive to my needs, and her teaching was very flexible. Thanks to her teaching I stopped seeing learning Ancient Greek as a hopeless task and got increasingly confident in both understanding and translation.
Cristiana helped me prepare for my Sociology A level exams. She started tutoring me when I was less than two months away from exams. I had changed teachers towards the end of the year and I was struggling both in class and when studying at home. I was very nervous but Cristiana was really good at reassuring me and giving me the confidence that we could turn things around. We met twice a week and would go over one topic from each of my papers each time. During the lesson Cristiana was always entusiastic and engaging, breaking down each concept for me, and summarising it after we had gone through. She always checked that I understood and encouraged me to ask questions. Cristiana always provided really good notes after each lesson, which explained concepts very clearly and highlighted links between concepts.
Cristiana helped me prepare for my Cambridge interview and IB exam both this year. She tutored me in Classical Studies, History, and Philosophy and helped me prepare for my admission interview at Clare College to read Classics (now conditional offer). I could have not wished for a better tutor - she is dedicated, passionate and incredibly knowledgeable but is also able to break down complex concepts into very straightforward, easy-to-digest explanations. What I valued most was her ability to create unusual connections between subjects which threw a different light onto a question and made for some really interesting discussion and insight. At the same time, she was also very systematic about how I should learn the core facts for each of my papers. Her double ability to combine solid knowledge with a push towards critical reflection was key to my interview and successive offer of a place at Cambridge.
