Niovi

I am a qualified Classics and have worked as Head of Classics in a wide range of London-based schools, state and independent, from KS2 to KS5. I have received outstanding feedback by both ISI and OCR. I have also been offering the highest quality tuition in French, Latin, Ancient Greek and Classical Civilisation since completing my MA in Classics at UCL(2015).
I am highly experienced in preparing students intensively for School Entrance, Scholarship, GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level exams. Many of my students have been offered places at the most competitive independent schools such as Westminster, Eton and St.Paul's and have achieved an impressive number of 8/9 and A/A* grades in their exams.

I am particularly familiar with the Challenge ( Entry Scholarship Exam for Westminster School) and King's Scholarship Exam (Eton). Seven of my tutees to whom I taught French, Latin, and Greek have been awarded the King's Scholarship– formerly known as Queen’s Scholarship (2024,2023, 2021, 2020, 2017, 2016 and 2015).

Tutoring Experience

I have tutored all ages; from year 6 up to undergraduates. However, the majority of my students are year 8 students sitting Scholarship Exams and GCSE students.

Tutoring Approach

In the first session, I spend the first 10 minutes building a rapport with the student. Next, I try to assess student strengths and areas in need of improvement. I then recommend a customised learning plan that addresses my students needs and targets as well as their weaknesses so that they achieve their full potential. The ultimate goal is to foster a learning environment where students build their confidence in their abilities and become self-motivated learners. I also endeavour to make my lessons as interactive and stimulating as possible by integrating multimedia and innovative educational technology (i.e. Google Drive, Google Calendar, iPad, Scribblar, etc).
