6About Me
I’m an Oxford Undergraduate classics finalist, currently awarded a scholarship at university alongside multiple other academic awards. I’m also writing a thesis on Cicero and am a published author of a literature analysis book.
Having spent 3 years in Classics , I can understand how it can seem daunting to many, and I’ll do my best to make it as accessible as possible for you.
I can also understand that the Oxbridge admissions process is especially difficult, especially when you would be juggling many other academic tasks at the time, and I’m here to ease the process- I provide mock interviews and admissions test assistance for Classics; I’m also willing to prep your overall background knowledge for the degree.
I’m always happy to answer any questions you might have, and can’t wait to teach you about awful Latin puns!
My teaching style
I teach students aged 14+ in Classics and other humanity subjects. My lessons are typically one hour, but I can be flexible if needed.
I take a student-centric approach, where I’ll meet the student and discuss their needs before forming a plan. Typically, I’ll take the approach of introducing relevant context before providing excerpts of ancient texts for analytical discussion. After the lesson, I will set mini-essays that I will mark and give detailed feedback on at the start of the next lesson.
My Proudest Achievements
Seeing my book published! It’s in Chinese, regarding a variety of both Chinese and foreign literature.
