Initially tutoring the Classical languages, I now specialise in tutoring, motivating, instilling confidence in 10 to 13 year olds to become independent learners, in preparation for pre-tests and scholarships to the top British Independent Schools. Though my specialist subject is Classics, I also teach all the subjects for Common Entrance preparation, but more focus on the arts and languages for scholarships. I see tuition to be not only a way of fostering independent learning but also as a means of being a mentor and example to inspire others to be the best. I am committed and dedicated to helping students fulfil their potential.

Currently tutoring four boys towards their Eton Scholarships, two for 2017 and two for 2018. Since I started tutoring for the Eton KS, 3 of my students have been awarded the scholarship. Two others have been awarded the Queen`s scholarship from the Westminster Challenge.

Availability: As a full-time tutor I am available weekdays and evenings and online tuition on Saturdays. During half-term, Easter and Summer tuition I am generally on placements abroad, but I endeavour to keep regular tuition in the UK via Skype during these periods.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: Since 2016 I have been President of The Tutors` Association, the professional body for tutoring in the UK. I have tutored over two hundred students one-to-one over the past eight years. To see a recent video interview with me: [contact detail removed]

Tutoring since 2009, I now have over five thousands hours` experience of tutoring Latin and Classical Greek to Independent and State School children, undergraduate and mature students, as well as pupils aiming for Common Entrance, Oxbridge and scholarships. I am very familiar with the full range of textbooks for Latin and Greek used by schools. Focus is structured and thorough study of language work on grammar and vocabulary, as well as set-text literature as appropriate.

Six years` experience of tuition in London regularly and abroad during school holiday periods, as well as online.

International residential placements: in summer 2012 I tutored two boys in Shanghai, China, one for his Eton King`s Scholarship, the other for Law. I was Hong Kong and Thailand-bound in March/April 2013 for more Eton scholarship tuition this tutee ended up being one of just three double scholars for Eton entrance in September 2013 . In May 2013 I had the privilege of tutoring Latin in Venice and in Vienna, Austria in November preparing a boy for his Eton pre-test. In May 2014 I was tutoring twins in Switzerland for Eton and Radley scholarships in France and Channel Islands through 2015 to 2017 and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2016.

I have also tutored online to students in New York, Seattle, Hong Kong, Beijing, India, Singapore and Uzbekistan, among others.
