I enjoy tutoring on a one to one basis. I have had considerable success, especially in Latin CE and GCSE. Both my recent tutees achieved As in CE I am keen to make Latin fun as I believe students do better when they enjoy what they are learning.
I have taught Latin from Beginners to A Level, school students and adults. My main focus has been on Common Entrance and GCSE.
My main approach to tutoring is to develop the student's self confidence and to encourage and independent attitude to learning. I encourage students to find the answers themselves rather than to supply it for them. For students appraoching exams I use a lot of past papers as I believe success here raises the student's self confidence and improves exam technique.
I have also worked as a counsellor so have a lot of experience with less confident students and those with personal issues.
