Julian's Feedback

We contacted Julian a couple of weeks before my son’s A level examinations in Latin were due to start, as he realised that he needed extra support. From the outset Julian was very professional but also approachable. It was clear that he was very experienced teacher and that my son enjoyed the private tutoring. Julian provided learning resources and various documents which supported my son’s learning. Communication has been excellent and Julian was always very responsive to any queries, requests etc. My only regret is that I did not think to start these lessons with Julian earlier as my son would have benefited enormously.

Always ready to help and excellent teacher.

My son has been learning with Julian for over 6 months and he was transformed in Latin. He studies in a top London private school (year 8) and started learning Latin since year 4. He wasn't interested in the subject and hence didn't want to spend time on it. Gradually he fell behind and started to struggle.

Julian taught our son using a different syllabus and emphasised a lot more on grammar and structure of the language. His lessons are a lot more interesting than our son had at school. Julian sets a high standard but is very patient. He is also super nice and accommodative.

Our son topped his class in Latin last term. He starts to enjoy the subject now. We highly recommend Julian.

Julian is great. My daughter had couple of sessions.

She has not continued with Julian but this is not reflective of Julian

He is very helpful. Very knowledgeable.

Julian is a very organised and passionate latin tutor, who brings enthusiasm to his lessons. Julian has taught me new topics in Latin, that I have never studied before at GCSE and I already feel comfortable with going into Sixth Form this September and wor on them. I highly recommend Julian, not only for his tutoring, but his great love for Latin, which is guaranteed to rub off on the tutee as it has me.

My son had a tutor previously (also from First Tutors) who was excellent, but with his GCSEs coming along he needed someone who is active in teaching and examining for this and could do targeted work with him on grammar and translation. We thought we would try out several candidates, but our first session with Julian made it clear that we already had 'our man'. Julian is affable and engaging, whilst bringing a high level of skill, focus and attention to detail the to the task. My son and I were very impressed and hope to carry on wor with Julian through to the GCSE exams in 2018.

Julian is a very positive and encouraging tutor and is prompt sending work, returning marked papers and answering emails. Julian gives plenty of feedback and explains where to gain extra marks in order to obtain a high grade. He has helped my daughter achieve high grades in both her AS and A2 level Latin. We would highly recommend Julian as a tutor.

Julian is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend him. He built an immediate rapport with our daughter and was quick to assess what help she needed to prepare her for her A2 Classics exam. His sessions are interesting and extremely helpful; he has filled in gaps in her knowledge and explained the mar scheme so that she can aim for the highest grade. He sets relevant work and is thorough in his feedback of this. His input will enable her to go into her exam with every confidence of being able to do well.

Julian is an excellent tutor. He is experienced, professional, reliable and friendly. He really knows his subject and also how to teach it.

Very pleasant person.
Seems to be good at imparting knowledge at the right level and keeping my son interested.
Would have no problems recommending him to anyone
