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 |

On Thursday, I will be closing the doors to my self-paced Latin GCSE Revision Course, and I wanted to give you a heads-up that when I open them again on October 20, the price will have moved from £97 from £250. Below is a preview of the topics covered. If you go to the page, you can preview a small section on learning adverbs using gestures. It is well worth a look! But this is just a snapshot: the new extended version will include additional content on vocabulary learning and plenty of tools...
September is most definitely here, and students will be starting to rush to Quizlet to revise their vocabulary and get up to speed. But are they making the best use of their time? Quizlet gives us the illusion that we are working hard: Look at all the right answers! And the amount of words I have seen on the screen! But those words will probably not stick for long if you do not use them. Ultimately, you are just clicking away and committing them to memory... temporarily. So what can you do...
Little-known reconstructed temple from Vic, Central Catalonia For the last couple of days, I have been working from sunny Hispania - that's Spain for those still working on their Roman geography! Between lessons, mosquito dodging, and some Roman sightseeing, I have also been busy planning for the year ahead. And I have some big news: I am revamping my Latin Grammar Revision for GCSE course. I have improved my recording set-up and will create new versions of existing videos, as well as new...
