Teaching with Experience and Care

I have taught Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation for over thirty years. My teaching is calm, structured and intellectually demanding, with close attention to each student’s understanding and progress.

Lessons develop a secure knowledge of grammar and the ability to apply it. Students learn to analyse sentences carefully, explain their answers and read increasingly demanding texts with confidence.

We place particular emphasis on:

Systematic grammar teaching.
Careful parsing and translation of texts.
Greek and Latin anime to increase engagement
Diagnostic tests that identify gaps in understanding.
Written work corrected with detailed explanations.

Our students have gained places at Eton, Westminster, Harrow and other leading schools, including scholarships and exhibitions. Each pupil’s circumstances are different, and no outcome is guaranteed.

For a fuller explanation, please see Our Approach to Teaching.

Free Tests and Learning Resources

We make a growing collection of tests, worked examples and parsed texts freely available. These support independent learning and demonstrate our teaching approach. Individual tuition provides a planned course of study and personal feedback.

Begin with our online Latin and Greek tests, or explore the Free Resources menu.

Initial Consultation

We offer an initial diagnostic lesson to assess suitability, identify strengths and weaknesses, and explain how we would structure a programme of study. This meeting carries no obligation.
