/ Jamie M.
I am an Honours graduate in Applied Physics from the University of Strathclyde. I taught Mathematics to children from ages 12 to 18 for 26 years, and have successfully prepared many classes for public examinations at National 5, Higher, Advanced Higher (Mathematics and Mechanics) and A-Level. I also have considerable experience in the one-to-one tuition of students, both in school and privately. I try to keep my part of the lesson to a minimum, so that the student can get as much practice as possible. I can tailor lessons to cover a particular need, and can provide plenty of examples to work on. Piano and classical languages are two other areas of interest, especially the works of Schubert, and the writings of the Latin poets.
Online Classical Greek Lessons
P
Latin, Classical Greek, Classical Civilisation, in Marlborough, UK.
Have taught secondary pupils for 37 years. Now retired but wanting to tutor online.
Focus on: Latin, Classical Greek, Classical Civilisation lessons online or in London, UK.
I have had several years experience teaching Classics in the UK and am now completing my MA in Classics alongside my full time work as a Classics teacher in south London. As a key member I have been developing our provision so we now offer A Level Classical Greek for the first time in several years! One of the areas I particularly enjoy working in is successfully supporting young students as they prepare for entrance exams with previous experience in particular for St Pauls Boys and Winchester College. If required, I can also provide lessons, tutoring, or general support in English and History, if needed.
My A Level classes of 2022 all scored highly in their exams - 100% A*s in Latin and 100% A-C in Classical Civiliation.
In 2023, my GCSE and A Level classes continued to excel despite the return to 2019 standards and reduction in exam support from the boards, and I am incredibly proud of them all:
GCSE Classical Greek 80% 9-7
GCSE Latin 80%+ 9-7
A Level Classical Civilisation 85% A*-C
Current availability for tutoring sessions:
Free most weekday evenings - online or in person depending on location.
Free weekends - online or in person depending on location.
French, German, Latin, Spanish, Italian, History, Classics, and Classical Civilisation lessons in Southampton, UK.
With seven years' experience of teaching and tutoring Classics in a variety of contexts, I am a kind and knowledgeable tutor, who sets high standards of her tutees. I tailor my tuition to each individual person's needs and interests, making learning interesting, challenging and fun.
I am an enthusiastic PhD researcher/student in Classics at the University of Cambridge, where I also completed a BA in Classics (grade: First Class Honours) and MPhil in Classics (grade: Distinction; Classical Members’ Essay Prize for the year’s best MPhil theses). I am originally from Italy, where I completed the Italian equivalent of A-Levels in various subjects, including Italian.
I have tutoring experience and university-level teaching experience:
- Postgraduate Teaching Assistant (running reading classes on Ovid’s Ars Amatoria, Sallust’s Catiline, Homer’s Iliad), Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge (2021-).
- Supervisor (leading small-group teaching sessions on Greek and Latin translation, Greek epic, Aristophanes’ Frogs, Euripides’ Bacchae, the Greek Novel, and female characters, voices, and authors in Greek literature, from Alcman to Julia Balbilla), Clare College, Murray Edwards College, St Catherine’s College, Emmanuel College, St John’s College, University of Cambridge (2021-).
- Invited Lecturer for third-year undergraduate students (‘Homeric Reception: Greek Literature’s Odysseuses’), University of Cambridge (08/05/2021).
I am an extremely patient, empathetic teacher and I tailor my lessons to each individual student. My mission is to get all students to the level required for performing as well as possible in their exams and concretely improve their knowledge of Ancient Greek, Latin, Italian and every topic related to 'Classical Civilisation'.
I am currently Head of Classics at a leading independent school in Cheshire. My speciality subjects are Latin and Greek languages and literature. I have 15 years of experience in teaching to pupils from KS3 to Oxbridge level in schools and I have also taught adults outside of school. In addition to teaching and improving students from the ages of 11 to 18, I can teach older students who need to learn/improve their Latin and/or Greek for university courses, as well as those who wish to learn for their own personal interest with no intention of taking a formal assessment. I prefer to tutor online and I can provide electronic copies of all the materials. All notes made by myself during tutor sessions are emailed to the student immediately after the lesson for consolidation. I like to make my lessons enjoyable and engaging while guaranteeing clear explanations and, above all, marked improvement and success. I look forward to meeting you.
Secondary school teacher experienced in teaching Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation to a wide range of abilities.
I have been teaching all levels of all three classical subjects in UK secondary schools since 2005. Currently Head of Classics.
