Hi! I'm a Classics specialist

Not sure what language your child should pick?

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 days ago, something became clear after seeing the success of my students:

The best language for GCSE is the one where enjoyment will lead to exam success.

This year, I have teamed up with another language expert, Dita Moothialoo, to help you answer all these questions and also give you the latest information on exam boards.

If you want to navigate the system with clarity and give your child the best start, join us on Sunday, September 7th, at 7 pm.

This webinar is for you if:

  • You have a student who has not started GCSE yet
  • Your student is currently taking a language (modern or ancient) for GCSE
  • Your child wants to have freedom when it comes to choosing a university and a degree

Not sure if it is for you? Just reply to this email and let me know.

in proximum!

salve Reader! A couple of weeks ago, I received an invitation to speak at a very (very) popular podcast... in Latin. I was honoured. I was terrified. I worried about my Latin fluency under pressure, and declining seemed the best option. But I did not say "no". I constantly tell my students that languages are to be spoken and that making mistakes is part of the learning process. I also tell them that speaking Latin can be fun and not just an exercise in accuracy. And so I went on the podcast,...

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...
