Alice

Hi! My name is Alice, I'm a mature student of Classics at the University of Cambridge. I moved around quite a few countries growing up, learning different languages, but the ancient ones are my favourite - I've been studying them on and off for 13 years! After taking a few years out after graduating school, I'm happy to be settled into Greek and Latin again. In my spare time, I read novels (Murakami is my favourite), swim, rockclimb and listen to podcasts - always looking to discover interesting things!

Tutoring Experience

I've been tutoring since I was at school: I would help peers with English, French or German, or teach these languages to younger students, who were Russian like me. After I graduated with a Bilingual IB Diploma, I also worked for a tutoring company called Elite IB Tutors, again tutoring in languages and literature.

Tutoring Approach

I find that the best thing I can do for my students, once I've answered any specific questions/issues they're having, is to help them set up efficient and constructive learning habits. In this way, I can lighten the load of their education a little, show them how to make studying easier and less stressful. Ultimately, I seek to pass on my own continual fascination for the subject - enjoying what you're studying makes it a lot easier to work hard!
