About Me
I am a Latin teacher with QTS and a passion for the Ancient World. I have been running classes with young people between the ages of 5-13 at the Museum of Archaeology for two years and have been successful in running engaging sessions that actively involve the students. I carefully plan my lessons and listen to my student’s individual concerns to address the areas where help is most needed and tailor lessons to their needs. I have previously tutored privately for students doing A-level English Literature, and all of my students went on to achieve a B or above.
I was awarded a commendation in the national TALK TALK scheme for confident communication, and have excellent spoken and written communication skills needed to clearly present information. Through my studies of Latin and Greek, I would also bring advanced knowledge of how languages work and the best way to learn them, which I could use to help students get to grips with learning a language at a high level and developing their study skills more generally.
My teaching style
With my patient approach to learning and genuine enthusiasm for engaging young people about their subject, I aim to help my students both enjoy and understand their subject on a deeper level. I have conducted engaging, impactful workshops in ancient languages with groups of secondary school students in their classrooms, making a real difference to their educational experience. Teacher accessed feedback reported impressive lesson planning, positive student rapport and behaviour management.
