Latin, Classical Greek, Classical Civilisation, lessons in Marlborough and Brighton, UK. Happy to teach prep school and secondary school pupils as well as adult learners.
I have been teaching French and Spanish for over 25 years, in secondary schools, adult education courses and business companies. I have also implemented and developed a Latin GCSE course in my local school, which has been thriving for 25 years. I am experienced in teaching all levels up to advanced for French and A'level for Spanish and Latin.
I welcome learners from all academic and cultural backgrounds, all ages and abilities; I am just keen to share my linguistic skills!

Online Latin Tutors
I have taught boys and girls in secondary schools (boarding and day, single-sex and co-ed), and have tutored pupils from Y5 upwards. In a school environment I have taught the top year (Y6) in a primary school, and all tiers of secondary school (including GCSEs, A-Levels, and the International Baccalaureate). I have also tutored pupils preparing for Common Entrance exams and scholarship exams.
I think tuition sessions benefit from incorporating as much variety as possible, including vocabulary-picture association in memory games, translation work, grammar exercises, and (if required) the solid staple of vocabulary tests. I can provide tuition across the full spectrum of age and ability, from those facing particular challenges with their learning to assisting gifted students seeking to extend their studies. I always provide an updated 'Scheme of Work' to both pupil and parents after each session, so that everyone is clear what the targets are and what has been achieved.
Please note that lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged at the full rate. Lessons cancelled between 24-48 hours beforehand will be charged at 50% of the full rate.
As a seasoned teacher of Modern Foreign and Classical Languages with over 30 years of experience, I've had the privilege of teaching in local state and independent schools, as well as adult and further education colleges. My expertise spans French, German, Spanish, Italian, Classics, and Latin, from Key Stage 3 to A-Level. As a GCSE examiner for Pearson Edexcel, I'm well-versed in what it takes to succeed in exams.
In my lessons, I prioritize fun, humour, and encouragement, helping you build confidence in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. I also emphasize the importance of grammar as the foundation of language learning. For Latin, I combine rigorous grammar study with engaging explorations of historical context and set texts.
I understand that every learner is unique, so we work together to tailor our approach to your specific needs and goals. With my experience as an examiner, I'll show you how to unlock the secrets of exam papers and exceed your targets.
My teaching style is built on friendliness, patience, and approachability. I believe in celebrating small victories and fostering a growth mindset. If you're looking for a supportive and rewarding learning experience, I'm excited to meet you and help you achieve your goals!
I have been a secondary school teacher for 25 years and prior to this have taught in Surrey and North London. I also have experience of examining for the major examination boards at both GCSE and A Level.
I'm currently an undergrad at Newcastle University, studying the Classics. My passion is for Doctor Who and almost anything to do with classic sci-fi and horror. I'm autistic, diagnosed since the age of 14, and so I have many experiences with other autistics and I frequently helped out with the Special Educational Needs department at my high school/sixth form. I'm a published author of horror short stories, as well as having featured on panels at FantasyCon and SciFi Weekend, with more stuff in the works. My subjects at A-Level were English Lit. (AQA), Theatre Studies (Edexcel), and Religious Studies (OCR). My high school had an internal mentoring scheme, where I helped 2 GCSE students with their English, the skills for which help with Latin and Greek immensely. For Ancient Greek, I taught a GCSE student from scratch for about 2 years, and as such created resources from scratch and would adjust my lessons on a weekly basis. For Latin, I helped the same student on a regular basis with their Latin, but at A-Level I was also asked by my Head of Classics to help the Y8s who'd joined late in the term by taking them out of lessons and catching them up on thr basic Latin skills they'd have missed. At university, I have mentored 7 different students in GCSE English literature on a weekly basis, across a wide variety of texts. Additionally, my love for Classical languages and English extended to me doing JACT's Durham Summer School between L6 and U6. That, apart from being an enjoyable time in itself and which is highly recommendable, exposed me to a lot of different teaching styles, and gave me great in-depth knowledge of the languages and the culture.

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 encouraging and patient tutor who is aware that everybody learns in different ways and at different speeds and I am willing to tailor tutoring sessions to the student's preferences.
I have a Classics degree from Oxford University and a PGCE from Nottingham University. I have been teaching for over 25 years.
I have been a Head of Classics at Ashdown House, Pilgrims' School and Vinehall School in a career spanning 22 years. I have taught and tutored children to Common Entrance and Scholarship level at these independent prep schools, and have also tutored A Level Latin recently.
I have been Head of History at Ashdown House and also taught French and English.
I have achieved A*'s at GCSE and A-Level and currently study Classics at a Russel Group University.
I moved to the UK from the USA after completing a Masters degree and www.*** in Classical Philology at Harvard University. My first teaching jobs in the UK were at Winchester College and Westminster School, where I taught GCSE and A-level classes in Greek and Latin.
I have published numerous articles and books on Greek literature while working as a lecturer at the University of Bristol (2007-2011) and Corpus Christi College, Oxford (2011-2016). After the birth of my third child, I stopped lecturing and took a job locally as teacher of Greek and Latin at Pilgrims' Prep School in Winchester.
At the University of Bristol, I taught undergraduates and post graduates, many of whom were Adult learners.
The diversity of my work experience has allowed me to teach from many different textbooks for beginners and intermediates and all of the popular text prescriptions for exams.
I also offer support for university applications to UK and USA universities. I give alumni interviews for Harvard applicants in the Winchester area. I am very skilled in online instruction, but I don't have a Facebook page or personal website. For my publications and academic work, I use my birth name (Hitch), many of which can be found on Google or Amazon.
I took Latin, English and history a level, achieving A*s in all. I am currently studying Anthropology and politics at the University of Edinburgh, and have been tutoring latin for 2 years.
I took courses in German and Latin during my undergraduate at Cornell University, achieving a minor in German Studies. I continued studying Latin over the course of my MPhil at the University of Cambridge, using it to look at medieval sources in the original language. I have two years of experience tutoring my classmates in German and Latin, and, as a prospective future teacher, I'm interested to offering my services to students who can use my help. I typically like to start lessons by pinpointing the problems and discomforts my students have with language, and develop strategies to combat them from there. Studying Latin has given me a strong understanding of how grammar structures language, and this informs my pedagogy, making me a clear explicator of the many uncertainties that come with grammar. Lessons can look different depending on the student's needs; I'm happy to work on homework together, go over past assignments and exams to find areas to improve, and to teach lessons when the student requires more individual attention. Most importantly, the student and their needs come first. As such, I'm happy to tutor in person or online, meeting the student in the middle to offer them the help they need to succeed.
