As one school year wraps up and I start preparing for the next, I get to speak with students at the end of their journey to uni, as well as those at the very beginning. One thing is clear in these conversations: the sooner you take the plunge and start truly learning classical languages, the better. If your student is in years 6-9, this is the time to give them a chance to interact with the world of Latin and Classical Civilisation, and start building a strong foundation. My Monday KS2 and KS3 courses are open for registration only until the 10th of July, so please make sure you book this sooner rather than later! If your student is interested in Greek, I will be teaching beginners on Tuesday (pre and post GCSE) and intermediate students on Thursday. I highly recommend students prepare for the Intermediate Certificate in Classical Greek, which leaves the door open to a GCSE and can be used towards UCAS applications - a fantastic bonus to a course that is in itself great fun! For GCSE students, I have set up a Latin Gym on Friday afternoons. This is exactly what it sounds like: a place to build fluency and consolidate vocabulary by reading, listening, writing and speaking. For many students taking GCSE and A-Level, one-to-one tutoring is the best option. If this is the case for your learner, please make sure to contact me as soon as possible, as only a limited number of slots are still available for 2024-2025. To reserve your space in any of these courses, reply to this email, and I will arrange a meeting with you to ensure you are exactly where you need to be. |

salve Reader! Half-term is around the corner (yes, it truly is!). For me, half-term is very busy with mock preparation and Oxbridge interview support, and I will be available for online tuition. But do not worry, as you have probably heard, I am flying to Naples to dive in a submerged Roman city (somebody pinch me!) and work on my next set of resources just before that. However, I am not going to leave without offering a few suggestions to help your student during this half-term. You might...
