I am an experienced teacher of Classics with a genuine passion for the subject and a real love of teaching all aspects of it. I studied Classics at University College, Oxford and worked in finance for 13 years before the call of Classics brought me to teaching. The past 10 years have been the best of my professional career; I teach Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation to Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 and I love what I do.
I am passionate about Latin and Greek literature, particularly epic poetry, Greek tragedy and Latin love poetry. I gain great satisfaction from teaching and pushing my students to achieve their potential.
I have over 10 years teaching experience at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.
I have taught GCSE Latin and Greek and A Level Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation and my students have achieved fantastic results.
I have experience of teaching the Cambridge Latin Course books, De Romanis, John Taylor's Latin to GCSE Parts 1 and 2, Greek to GCSE Parts 1 and 2, Latin Beyond GCSE and Greek Beyond GCSE, as well as Unseens and Prose Composition at A Level in Latin and Greek.
I have taught Prose and Verse Literature at GCSE and A Level.
I am DBS checked and Level 3 Safeguarding trained.
I am kind, patient and approachable whilst being focussed on getting best possible results. I try to make learning fun and I have a good sense of humour, whilst knowing well that a good understanding of Latin and Greek requires discipline and rigour. I have lots of experience of students with neurodiversity and specific learning requirements and am flexible in my approach.
