    I am a qualified teacher of Latin and Classics, with a PGCE from the University of Cambridge and a BA (Hons) and MA from the University of Manchester.
    I teach Latin, Classical Civilisation, Ancient History, Theory of Knowledge, Italian and Humanities throughout KS3 and 4, and sixth form. I have been teaching in grammar schools as well as tutoring students in Latin, Italian and Classical Civilisation, both in person and online for more than 6 years. Moreover, I have experience as a GCSE and A-Level Italian examiner.
    I offer tutoring in those subjects as well as detailed notes, mind maps and revision resources tailored on the student's needs - just ask for more details.

    My teaching approach for Latin is reading based, building on grammar and vocabulary whilst enjoying the cultural and historical side. With regards to Italian, my approach builds up conversation and listening skills, using podcasts and grammar textbooks.
