Sean
I have been teaching Latin, Greek, and Classical Civilisation since 1992. I am an experienced examiner for OCR and Cambridge International A-Level, and currently teach in a London college. My degrees are from the University of York and Middlesex University.
I am the author of around forty books and a valued member of staff at the institution where I am employed.
Tutoring Experience
I teach all levels, from beginners to advanced. I have particular expertise in preparing students for Common Entrance, GCSE, A-Level, and university courses. I have helped pupils win scholarships at Eton, Westminster, Winchester, and Harrow. My students include both native English speakers and international learners.
Tutoring Approach
My approach is rigorous and exam-oriented. I work from past papers, model answers, and close reading of set texts. I also believe in teaching grammar thoroughly — so students can read real Greek and Latin confidently, not just guess from context. Lessons are structured, respectful, and adapted to each learner’s needs.
