Hi! I'm a Classics specialist

Mocks are around the corner: are you ready?

salve Reader!

You will have noticed I have been a bit quiet recently. No need to fret: I have not disappeared just before the mocks! I just had a longer-than-expected recovery from wisdom tooth extraction, so videos would have looked, let us say, interesting.

But I am back, and for many schools, mocks are around the corner, so let me show you what I have in store!

Today, I want to highlight some key resources and announce a free live event exclusively for parents of GCSE students that you will not want to miss.

Featured resources this month:

  • For A-Level students: https://www.latintutoronline.com/post/a-level-latin is packed with actionable resources to start revision on the right foot.
  • For GCSE students: If they are going to be spending some time on YouTube, at least they could be learning some Latin! Point them in the direction of my channel, which already has quite a large collection of GCSE-level videos to watch and learn from.
  • If you are a teacher or home educator, you should check out my Patreon community, where I share teaching resources and create a space for discussion and learning from each other.

Back to GCSE, I am going to hold an exclusive live meeting this coming Thursday to help you support your child as they sit their mocks.

Attendees will get:

  • Practical tools to reduce stress and overwhelm that their child can use at home and in the exam room
  • Top tips on key areas for revision so they know where to spend their energy
  • Realistic strategies to boost motivation and stop relying on willpower

Live attendees will also get an exclusive revision roadmap to use at home.

Registration will close on Wednesday 12, and spaces are limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Ana Martin

PS: I am currently fully booked for 1-to-1 lessons, but you can book a discovery call with me to get on the waiting list and be offered a place as soon as possible.

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...

salve Reader! Did you know the Roman year used to start in March? Yep! It does actually make quite a lot of sense: the land starts being alive again, sailing and long-distance trading can resume... not to speak about warfare! In fact, the month of March is dedicated to Mars, partly because that is when military campaigns resumed. Anyway, we are not going to war (at least not literally, hopefully), but I also enjoy the renewal that comes with the first signs of spring. A bit more on that...

salve Reader, What a week! Languages are very much like Schrödinger's cat: scroll through social media and one minute they are a useless subject superseded by AI, the next they are all people want to talk about. A couple of days ago, I wrote on social media (see below) about the relationship between Welsh and Latin (both are Indo-European languages), and since then, I've been dealing with a barrage of irate comments. People get very angry when they think their linguistic beliefs are being...
