As an independent online Latin tutor, I offer high-quality tuition that you and your child can access directly from home - or indeed, anywhere.  With over 20 years' experience as a qualified teacher and now as an accredited tutor of Latin, I have an outstanding track record in terms of progress, results and student engagement at all levels. I offer a bespoke service, individually tailored towards your child's needs.


My main areas of expertise and experience are where demand for tutoring is highest: GCSE Latin (OCR), Common Entrance and Scholarship examinations. I can work alongside any course books but tutoring sessions are based around my own experience and resources and tailored towards whatever areas your child needs help with.

"Selecting you was one of the best decisions I have ever made."


"Your lessons were transformational. Thank you SO much for all your efforts with him."


"Your help was invaluable. He went in today for his exam feeling more confident about Latin than I have ever seen him."


"Latin was such a chore for her before she started with you. The change in attitude is fantastic."

 

"You have turned dislike and dismay into enjoyment and enthusiasm." 


"He achieved a 7!!! He was predicted  5, and you absolutely turned Latin around for him. He said, even before the grades came out, that you were amazing! You are an absolute superstar tutor! Thank you so much for finding the time to help him. He was so frightened before you started working with him and you gave him the knowledge which gave him confidence. Thank you so much!"


"He was so pleased with his result, having gone from only 29% just before he was tutored by you. We can't thank you enough."


"He got a 9! He was on a 4 in his mocks - a great compliment to your encouragement and teaching. And it was all last-minute! Definitely a very positive review from us!"

"Just to let you know [she] got a 9 in Latin! She is absolutely delighted. We really can’t thank enough. It definitely would not have happened without you."


"It’s really built her confidence. She’s doing better in terms of marks but the big thing is building her love for the subject which is really coming through. We are very grateful."


"We have received his latest report and he jumped from a 4 to a 6 in Latin!!! Very pleased. It confirms what an excellent teacher can achieve."


"It's a miracle, he got an A and a top third position overall! Thank you so much for all your help."


"I just wanted to let you know that [she] got an A* for her Latin GCSE yesterday. Thank you so much for helping her get over a rather big bump in the road last summer - it made such a difference to her attitude and enjoyment of the subject afterwards. Huge thanks."


"Thank you so much for your continued support of him and also the fantastic results you have always got from him - down to you being an amazing teacher".


"A HUGE thank you for everything you have done for [her]. There are no words to express my gratitude! How I wish we had found you earlier!"


"Thank you so much for all your hard work and consistency - you have made such a difference to all three of our girls, we really appreciate your enthusiasm, kindness and patience. They have all thrived under you. It feels like the end of an era now!"


"Thank you so much for your amazing help, he has been awarded an academic scholarship! We are very happy for him and grateful to you!"


"He got an A in Latin. He is over the moon!! Thanks so much for all your help! I only wish I had found you earlier!"


"She said she learnt so much more in your [session] than she did in her many years studying Latin in school."


"He got an A!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all your help - never expected a turn-around like that! How can this be the same boy who got low 40s a couple of months ago?"
