Quizlet does not work: here is what to do instead


September is most definitely here, and students will be starting to rush to Quizlet to revise their vocabulary and get up to speed. But are they making the best use of their time?

Quizlet gives us the illusion that we are working hard:

Look at all the right answers!

And the amount of words I have seen on the screen!

But those words will probably not stick for long if you do not use them. Ultimately, you are just clicking away and committing them to memory... temporarily. So what can you do instead?

Enter READING, SPEAKING, WRITING AND LISTENING.

What else does work? Seeing those words repeatedly in different contexts and using them in all their different forms.

This is why I have decided to revamp my GCSE Latin Grammar Revision course. When I designed the course, plenty of vocabulary revision was already ingrained in the activities, but I noticed that my students needed to integrate the vocabulary in as many places as possible in a more explicit way.

So here is the big news: from October, new sections will be added to the existing ones to help with this crucial consolidation. This is not the only thing that will change: there will be new ways to interact and new activities to engage in, and much more accountability will be built into the program. I am determined to get you to that 9, and we do not have that long to go!

If you are already a member of the course, there is nothing that you need to do: you will see the changes as they appear. But if you were on the fence, I would like you to be aware that price will be going up to £250 to make sure I can give the bespoke help needed.

To secure the current £97 price, please purchase before the end of the month to avoid disappointment.

salve Reader! As a tutor, I take every opportunity to get back in the hot seat, and this week it came in the form of an invitation to participate in Nightschool with Geoff Lloyd, live on Virgin Radio. Let me tell you: it was not perfect, but it was SUCH a laugh. And that, to be honest, is the way forward in a world increasingly dominated by perfectly curated bland AI content.

salve Reader! I hope this seething time of year is allowing you some fresh air and mental rest. I am not going to wallow in the drama of the season, but I would like to acknowledge a moment that can be equal parts heartbreaking and uplifting: saying goodbye to a set text. Yes, saying goodbye to a set text can be very hard (and yes, even if it is Cicero!). This week, I am teaching the 2026 Tacitus and Herodotus for the last time, and I am putting away resources in their files, making space for...
