GCSE: Ancient Greek, Ancient History, Classical Civilisation, Italian, Latin A-Level: Italian University Level: Italian Exam board exp: AQA/Cambridge International/Edexcel/Eduqas/OCR/Common Entrance Examinations Experience with: 13+ (Latin and Ancient Greek) Other Languages: Italian Preferred student age group: Any About me: I've always been an avid reader and eager to learn new languages. But it's during my time at Manchester that, thanks to my amazing lecturers, I got passionate about teaching and I decided to become a tutor. Apart from languages and literature, I love screenwriting, reading, playing volleyball and tennis. I have an MA and PhD in Classics and Ancient History from The University of Manchester, and a background in Italian, English and Russian. In 2015, I completed my BA in English and Russian in Italy. In 2017, I gained an MA in Classics and Ancient History (with distinction) from the University of Manchester and went on to apply for a PhD in Classics and Ancient History. During my MA and the first two years of my PhD, I was lucky enough to attend John Taylor’s classes in Latin and Classical Greek. Over the past five years, I have built my teaching experience both in the classroom and as a private tutor: I have successfully tutored students in Latin and Greek (both in Italy and in the UK) preparing for CE, GCSE, and A-Level examinations; I have taught Latin literature and Roman history to undergraduate students at Manchester University. I have also taught Latin and Classical Greek at the London Summer School in Classics (UCL), and Homeric Greek at the Summer School in Homer (UCL). In 2021, I was awarded an Associate Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy. In 2022, I completed my PhD in Classics and Ancient History.

Last year I completed the International Baccalaureate, and have also taken GCSEs and IGCSEs. I studied all three of my subjects at IB level as well as at GCSE/IGCSE. I have also had tutoring experience from primary-GCSE level, with a preference for GCSE tutoring. I have also done courses on Autism, ADHD, and mental health and have taught people with SEND. I am also indifferent to the age of my students but would prefer to teach at GCSE level. Personally, I would describe myself as open-minded, kind, and caring and would also say that I am a nerd! I adore all things Star Wars, Harry Potter, and also love animals. I've had experience tutoring students at GCSE level for a variety of different subjects. I have also done work experience and volunteering at local state and private schools, particularly at primary-GCSE levels. My personal academic achievements include: Ten 9s and One 8 at GCSE/IGCSE Three 7s (A*s) at IB Three 6s (A*/A) at IB

By subjects
Latin tutoring to improve grades and self-confidence
Much of the English language – including many grammatical rules - stem from Latin, as do many words in Spanish, French, Italian, Portguese and Romanian. In fact, a strong foundation in Latin is a great advantage when it comes to learning these languages.
Latin can also improve English language skills by expanding vocabulary. It can help with deciphering often complex words or phrases used in law and medicine, as many have Latin roots. You’re likely to find yourself speaking, writing and reading with confidence across all academic subjects once you’ve mastered Latin.
Latin is not difficult to learn but can be challenging in a classroom setting, where teachers don’t have time to repeat information that hasn’t been understood.
A GoStudent Latin tutor can help with homework and explain difficult concepts thoroughly. They can also help with exam preparation by going through previous test papers, building confidence and ensuring better results.
Latin tuition for primary school
Latin is being taught in an increasing number of primary schools across the country, and has cross-curricular connections to history, design and technology, science, geography, art, English, and modern foreign languages.
For many years, it was assumed that Latin was better suited to higher-ability students, but new research shows that it has a positive influence on the reading skills of children who are performing below age-related expectations.
Latin provides a framework within which less able students (as well as students learning English as a second language) can gain a better understanding of how languages work.
At GoStudent, Latin tutoring can be combined with the primary history curriculum covering the Greeks and Romans, helping to foster a love of history at the same time.
Latin exam preparation and revision
Preparing for exams can be very stressful for students and procrastination is common. While this is the case for all subjects, it can especially apply to academic ones like Latin, which many people struggle with.
If your child is getting ready to sit one of these important exams, now is the right time to get started with one of our friendly and professional tutors.
Whether it is a GCSE or A level in England or Wales, a Leaving Cert in Ireland and Northern Ireland or the National 3,4,5 Higher or Advanced Higher in Scotland, we have a tutor who knows the curriculum well.
If time is tight, a Latin tutor can help your child quickly learn and internalize the essentials so that they can go to their exam as stress-free as possible and perform to the best of their ability.

Your child can get Latin tuition for as low as £21.99 per session. The price of each private tuition session depends on how regularly and for how long your child takes tuition with us.
