About Giulia
After obtaining my PhD in Classics (University of Cambridge), I decided to pursue a career in education, which allows me to bring together my two main passions, teaching and Classics. I love being able to share with students my knowledge and enthusiasm for the Classical subjects, yet working towards their successful performance in school or university. I also enjoy doing research in Classical disciplines, attending conferences and publishing, which allows me to always keep my lessons intellectually stimulating.
Having studied Classics for over fifteen years, I have taught for several years in a variety of institutions, both in secondary and higher education. I am currently employed as Teacher of Classics in a selective independent school of the country, where I teach Latin, Greek, and Oxbridge preparation classes.
My secondary teaching experience spans across Key Stage 3, A-level and IB diploma; I have also taught Classical Civilization at summer schools run by the University of Cambridge (for year 10-12 students), and ab initio Greek language in summer schools at the University of Oxford.
My ability and confidence to support students of a different range of strengths is therefore solid.
Additionally, I have been employed by two of the world leading universities. In both Cambridge and Oxford University I have taught a wide variety of subjects across the Classical undergraduate course, at college and faculty level, and I have been involved in the admission interviews process. My teaching has brought students some of the most successful results and has always been praised for its inclusivity, care, and competence.
I truly enjoy languages (both Classical and modern). Composition is, I believe, one of the most effective ways to learn Classical languages. This exercise ought to be accompanied by regular unseen translations of different genres (prose and poetry), as well as constant memorisation and revision of vocabulary (and testing). At the same time, I have always found practicing past papers with students very helpful, to make sure that they are fully aware of what they will be required to do during examinations. Reading, analysis, interpretation and discussion of literary texts are equally vital, as well as the ability to express an argument persuasively. To achieve this, I make sure my students know how to write essays cogently, how to use sources and bibliography, as well as how to develop a critical approach to the latter.
A positive and encouraging approach towards students becomes essential for maximizing their results. I always make sure to tailor my classes to suit the students, based on their abilities as well as their interests, ensuring that they have an excellent knowledge of the courses content and are constantly engaged with the lessons. Besides, I have always encouraged my students to expand their knowledge beyond the curriculum by introducing them to different authors and aspects of the Classical World: for I constantly remind them how learning is indeed for life!
