I retired from full teaching in London in July 2017. Currently I pursue independent research in Roman history. I am married and have two adult daughters, two labradors and one moggie.
20 years Head of Classics at Queens Gate School, teaching Years 7 through 13. Taught Classics to over 20 successful Oxbridge candidates from a small cadre of classicists.
Previously tutored privately in London for 5 years in Classics, History and English.
Taught in private school and at university level in the US for ten years prior to coming to the UK in 1993.
While I am keenly interested in the subjects I teach, my focus as a teacher and tutor has always been on the individual/s with whom I am working. I begin from the student's needs and help her or him to advance at a pace and in a manner that is challenging but not daunting. I expect my students to engage with me and the subjects we are studying in an open and honest manner, and I have always found that students respond best when the highest standards are expected of them.
