Sophie

I have a PhD in Classics from Durham University, specialising in Latin Literature and Roman Philosophy. I also completed my MA in Classics and BA in Classics at Durham University. I have excellent knowledge of Latin and Greek, Greek and Roman culture, and Ancient History.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught language and literature courses at Durham University and Newcastle University, on topics including but not limited to Ovid, Virgil, Seneca, Sallust, prose composition. I have also taught seminars for core modules at Durham University, and so am able to guide students on the skills required to succeed at university.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is person-centred. My focus is on building student confidence with positive reinforcement. I am adept at adapting my teaching style to different students and communicating complex ideas in clear ways.
