For the last couple of days, I have been working from sunny Hispania - that's Spain for those still working on their Roman geography! Between lessons, mosquito dodging, and some Roman sightseeing, I have also been busy planning for the year ahead. And I have some big news: I am revamping my Latin Grammar Revision for GCSE course. I have improved my recording set-up and will create new versions of existing videos, as well as new explanations and activities. If you are already a member, you will get direct access to the new course so you can continue enjoying the benefits. The new course will launch in October, and the new price will be £250. If think this course is for you, you have 4 weeks left to access it at the current £97 price. This is what you will get:
If you are unsure about what to do starting in September, just reply to this email or request a complimentary assessment. I still have 2 spaces left in my GCSE Revision group class, which meets on Fridays at 7:15. I am also in the process of organising Greek courses both from scratch and for ICCG preparation. I cap all my courses at 5 participants, so spaces are very limited. Make sure you book early to avoid disappointment! And remember: I may be in Spain, but I am just a click away!

Surely it is because they do not have a dictionary? Wrong. There is a moment and a place for a dictionary, and the dictionary you choose (if indeed you need one) is key to success. In my latest blogpost I share my thoughts on when, how and why choose a dictionary, covering all the needs from Year 5 to Year 13. Let me...
salve Reader! Did you know that more than half of the Latin students who come to me for support do not know how to say "yes" in Latin? You may think it is outrageous, but it is actually rather normal for students who are just about to sit their GCSEs. Imagine spending four years learning French and not knowing how to say "yes". You would rightly think that you are not really learning a language, but just some disconnected grammar and vocabulary. That is why I choose not to teach for the exam....
salve Reader, Yes, you heard it right: the first GCSE exam is the GCSE Latin Language Paper on May 8, with the Latin A-Level language taking place on May 19 (ok, you get 10 extra days added to the 2 months there!). I am currently concentrating on my existing students and will begin to invite those on the waiting list from May. However, if you need a hand, there are still ways to get my help: Membership to my Latin GCSE Revision Course is now open, and I have made it possible to join for just...
