What I offer

Classics

Far from being the dull and dreary learning of grammar and inflections, Latin is the study of ancient civilization, its art, literature, philosophy, music, theatre, and much more.

I aim to make Latin fun, without sacrificing a rigorous grounding in syntax and grammar.

Modern Languages

I teach French from primary-school levels to GCSE; Spanish to beginner and intermediate levels; and Italian at all levels from beginner to university.

Students start French at age 7 now, while Italian and Spanish are all also popular for adult learners for holidays or for business.

English Language and Literature

Great skills in English language are truly empowering for students, allowing them to discuss real issues using articulate and analytical reasoning.

For KS3 SATs and GCSE students, loads of practice on past papers, with  guidance every step of the way, is the route to success.
