About Me

A highly qualified and enthusiastic teacher with a PGCE in Classics from King's College. I have over nine years of experience in teaching Latin, Greek, Italian, and History, with a specialisation in SEN teaching. I can combine academic rigour with innovative teaching and learning strategies. I hold a PhD from Wolfson College, University of Oxford, and have contributed to The Oxford Roman Economy Project. As a British citizen, I am available to start work immediately.

My teaching qualifications, coupled with my extensive experience in both school and university settings, enable me to provide high-quality instruction tailored to the needs of my students. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced learner, I can help you achieve your academic goals with confidence.

I specialise in online learning and offer my services worldwide from London. I can prepare students for the following UK Latin exams: 13+ and scholarship, GCSE, A-Level, IB, and Oxbridge preparation. I am very active in the Classics community and have collaborated with Hands Up Education on three different projects. Most recently, I have recorded several stories from the Latin reading book for secondary school Suburani Book 1 and Book II.

I am a native Italian teacher who uses authentic Italian texts, visual, audio, and internet resources in my lessons. I have taught Italian Language and Literature in Italy and Italian as MFL in secondary schools in London. I have assisted external candidates of Italian GCSE and A level (AQA examination board).

Very sensitive to children’s educational needs, I have adapted my teaching and resources to reflect a more person-centred practice that takes into account child psychologist consultations. I have worked with students with a variety of special educational needs, including autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, delayed speech, communication disorder, and dyslexia.


Tutor Experience

As an Oxford PhD alumna, currently based in London, I offer comprehensive online tutoring worldwide. Drawing on my experience as a former Head of Classics at Chiswick School and years of teaching expertise, I specialize in Latin, Greek, and Classical Civilisation. Whether you're just starting out, require assistance with school assignments, or are preparing for exams such as Scholarship, GCSE, IGCSE, A level, the IB, or Pre-U, I can help you gain confidence and improve your skills. My focus also includes Oxbridge preparation, with a track record of success for my candidates. I cater to a wide range of students, including undergraduates, postgraduates, adult learners, and medical students seeking Latin for their degrees. If you require references, I am happy to provide contact details of previous clients who can attest to the quality of my tutoring.

Topic Expertise

With a wealth of experience and qualifications in Latin, Greek, and Classical Civilisation, I bring a comprehensive understanding of these subjects to my tutoring. My PhD in Classics, teaching experience at schools, universities, and adult learning settings, as well as a PGCE from King's College, have provided me with a solid foundation to help students of all levels excel in these areas.

With a proven track record of success in Classics preparation and a deep understanding of exam boards including OCR, Edexcel/WJEC, I am well-equipped to guide students through the complexities of Latin exams with confidence.

If you're looking for a dedicated and passionate Latin tutor, look no further. With my expertise and commitment to student success, I am the ideal candidate for any position in the field of Latin tutoring.
