Ancient Greek Tutors : 1-1 Ancient Greek Lessons

I sat the Oxford admissions twice, having applied the first year at school without success and then re-applying the next year, so I understand the process well. I know that it is a daunting experience, especially the interview process, but I think I can offer a lot of advice and practice to potential applicants. My personal tutor at St Hilda’s College was in charge of that college’s interview practices, so I volunteered to help with admissions week in my second and third years. I have spoken to her at length at what tutors are looking for from interviews, and think I can help applicants feel confident and best able to express their talents and knowledge at interview. I completed a degree in Classics, taking both Latin and Ancient Greek, with a specialism in literature and history. For my finals I took exams in Athenian democracy and theatre, Roman republican history and Latin literature.

Hi, my name is Ruth and I recently graduated from Cambridge with a BA in Modern and Medieval Languages, specialising in Italian, Ancient Greek and Linguistics.

I’ve spent time living in Italy where I taught languages, I’ve taught science in primary schools, and I’ve supported students through Oxbridge applications.

I achieved all A*s/9s in my GCSEs, and all A*s in my A Levels (French, Italian, Politics, Ancient Greek). Alongside building competencies in languages, I also enjoy delving into the culture, history and literature of a language – I believe that combining language and culture leads to a much fuller learning experience.

My background in linguistics as well as language learning puts me in a strong position to explain the reason for certain rules of quirks within a language – as well as understanding the linguistic research behind how students learn languages best.
