ABOUT ME
I am a qualified teacher and have four years of one-to-one tuition experience tutoring in the range of Classical subjects- Latin, Greek, Classical Civilisation- and French up to degree level. From IB to GCSE,Common Entrance to Cambridge Pre-U, I have worked with students on a range of curriculums and I always endeavour to pass on my students my knowledge of the ancient world and of languages. I am committed to supporting my students to achieve their highest marks in their CE, scholarship and A-Level examinations. Two of my tutees were awarded the Queen's Scholarship in 2015 and 2017. In addition, my A-Level students have admitted entry to Oxbridge, and other Russell group universities.
TUTOR SPECIALISM
- Preparation for UK school entrance examinations: Westminster (13+), Eton (13+), Saint Paul’s
(13+), Oxbridge (Classics, Russian Literature and Economics). - Scholarship preparation: The Challenge and Eton College King's Scholarship Examination (Latin,

TEACHING STYLE
I am a creative teacher using a wide range of platforms and platforms such as google drive, zoom, Anki and Kahoot. My teaching style is structured and very thorough. Every lesson is of course different, and tailored to the tutee`s requirements That said, I always endeavour to make classical languages interesting and relatable to my younger students by writing stories in Latin or playing games combining language and numeracy skills.
