Information about Eliza - Claremont tutor

Personal Description:

Hello! I'm an experienced tutor specializing in Latin, English, and History, with a passion for helping students unlock their potential and develop a love for learning. I hold a PGCE (UK Teaching Qualification) and a Bachelor of Arts from Oxford University in Classics and English, which has provided me with a strong foundation in both the linguistic and literary aspects of these subjects.
With seven years of teaching experience across diverse educational settings in England, France, and Australia, I have had the privilege of working with students at all levels, from primary school to university. This international experience has enriched my teaching approach, allowing me to adapt to various learning styles and cultural contexts.
I believe in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident to explore complex ideas and ask questions. My goal is to inspire curiosity and critical thinking, whether we are delving into the intricacies of Latin grammar, analysing classic literature, or exploring historical events.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you achieve your academic goals!

I utilise multimedia resources and interactive discussions to make lessons engaging and relatable.
