(6 reviews)

Personal Description:

I am a full-time tutor (MA Classics, Lond) with over nine years' tutoring experience, with further experience as Head of Classics at a top prep school in the north of England.

Teaching Experience:

Extensive experience in teaching prep-school, GCSE, A-level and degree-level Latin to ages ranging between 7 to 70+ yrs in Hertfordshire and North London.

I have taught pupils of Eton, Harrow, St Pauls, and Westminster amongst many others, and have experience in preparing pupils for the Latin and Greek examinations for entrance into such schools.

I offer instruction in the A Level and GCSE Latin/Greek syllabus (OCR) for pupils/students who wish to sit an examination independently.

I encourage English-Latin instruction, and have experience in teaching from the classic texts of Hillard and Botting; Bradley's Arnold Latin Prose Composition, and R. Colebourn's Latin Sentence and Idiom.

Some previous pupils have gone on to read Classics at the likes of Oxford and Edinburgh.

Teaching Approach:

Education is not about being intellectually strait-jacketed but rather developing a higher and broader level of discussion and thinking. Through Latin instruction, I try, as far as possible, to instill a wider love of learning.

(Please note that for pupils outside a three mile radius of my house and who require my travelling to them, there is an additional charge for travelling expenses/time taken in addition to my standard hourly rate. This is to be negotiated with the client before details are exchanged.)
