I know it is the middle of the summer 🏖️but..


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:

  • Video tutorials to watch as many times as you need
  • Bespoke exercises to test your knowledge
  • Direct access to me via the comment section to ask your questions
  • The chance to ask for specific videos or topic explanations

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! Keep an eye on my socials for pictures, travel inspiration and learning resources: links just below!

salve Reader! Parents often come to me with questions about the best language GCSE for their child: Is it enough to take just one language, modern or ancient? What combination of languages works best? Is it too difficult to get a 9 in any of the language GCSEs? How does the language you choose affect your chances for a Russell Group university, or for a course in particular? And what happens if you do not take any languages at all? Having celebrated outstanding GCSE results just a couple of...

salve Reader! First things first: results are coming. I will be available for consultation all day on the 14th and 21st, and will be offering advice and support around those dates if needed, as well as celebrating before we all have a well-deserved rest in preparation for the new school year. But before I disconnect for my holiday (yes, even Latin teachers must rest, even if said rest includes archaeological sites!), I wanted to share with you some exciting news: I have been invited to be...
