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, 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...
