Studying Greek can be fun, easy and accessible. Are you in?
|
This week, I heard back from my first ICCG cohort, and we celebrated their excellent results together. This made me think about access to classical Greek and all the people who miss a chance to learn because of misunderstandings about who can and can't do it. Let us be honest: Have you been told that Greek is only reserved for the most clever of all students and that you can only do it if you attend a highly selective school? This is simply not true, although I have heard it more times than I can count! Classical Greek is a language like any other, and it is accessible and enjoyable. I engage all four skills in my lessons, and students make outstanding progress because they love ancient history and engage deeply with Greek mythology. I have created small group courses to nurture this love of learning. I cap them at 3-5 students because I want everyone to have a chance to participate and receive personal attention. Because groups are small and numbers low, it is a bit of a juggle from the point of view of logistics, so please bear with me while I try to arrange the dates and times: Registration is now open for courses starting in September. There will be a course starting from scratch with an option to sit the ICCG in 2025 (fast-track, ideal for A-Level students) and a slower pace course for those who are in KS3 and KS4 and have extra time. I am also trying to arrange group sessions for post-beginners, so please reply to this email to check suitability and book your spot if you have not done so yet. Other courses taking placeI am currently fully booked for one-to-one tuition, but if you need a booster for Latin GCSE revision, registration is currently open for my self-paced Grammar Revision course. Beyond explanations and plenty of active practice, I will be behind the scenes answering students' questions and creating new material if needed. This course is going to be upgraded in October, and there will be a price change, so if you want to secure it for £97 now is the time to get it:
If you are thinking about starting in September, please arrange your complimentary consultation as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. in proximum! Magistra Ana |
Hi! I'm a Classics specialist

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...
salve Reader! I am currently reassessing students' progress and individual plans while putting the finishing touches to the Latin GCSE Revision Course, and time is a bit tight at the moment. However, last Friday I attended such a powerful and motivating conference that I had to share a few ideas with you, including revision tips. Happy face after a whole day sharing my love for Latin If you know anything about me, you will have noticed that I am very big on making Latin accessible by using it...
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...
