Online Latin Tutor Rebecca

I qualified as a teacher in 2011 and have been teaching in classrooms and online ever since. As an online tutor, I have loved working with a much wider range of students than in school, teaching all the way from upper primary to adults. I have also enjoyed working with students from all over the world.

My style of teaching is tailored to the learner, and I am always happy to take requests for certain activities or approaches that the student finds useful. I always aim to provide a positive lesson with lots of praise and targeted feedback. I have lots of experience and patience with pupils with additional needs, particularly autism and processing difficulties. I understand how challenging the school environment can be and know the difference that a supportive and kind tutor can make.

Whilst success can take many forms (a student re-engaging with school, achieving their target grade, feeling more confident in lessons), I have worked with students who have achieved some excellent successes in recent years:

2021-2023
6 Grade A* - A’s at A level (Latin, Classical Greek, Classical Civilisation and English Literature)
2 A* (EPQ)
6 GCSE strong passes (ranging from 5-9 related to student ability – but all increased 1-2 grades)
4 passes at 11+
2 students achieving offers for Cambridge for Classics

Latin: Do you need support with GCSE or A-Level Latin? Have a child sitting the 13+? Perhaps you are an adult who has always wanted to learn, or maybe you have a more able child who needs an exciting challenge. I love teaching this wonderful language. I have experience with all the UK examination boards and have an excellent track record of success with exam candidates.

Classical Greek: Another wonderful ancient language! I can prepare students for the 13+ Greek paper (a very interesting choice for independent school entrance assessments) as well as support or teach GCSE and A level.

Classical Civilisation: I have taught this at A level and GCSE successfully for many years. I can help with reviewing the content, covering exam technique (and use of scholarship at A level), supporting you to do your very best in the exams.

11+ and independent school admissions: Is your child taking the 11+ or another entrance exam? Whether you know exactly what you need or don’t know where to start, I can explain the process and guide your child through a structured program of preparation. I can also work with students needing creative writing for all independent entrance exams. Like anything else, directed practice and feedback will ensure they approach this with confidence.

UCAS: I can support many aspects of the university application process, including Oxbridge. I worked as a sixth-form tutor for four years, and during this time and in the years following have assisted many young people in successful applications. I can provide a challenging practice interview with feedback or offer advice about confident personal statement writing.
