You asked, and I made the changes

I love hearing from you. From the way I teach to the resources I offer, it is crucial for me that I am meeting your needs. Today, I want to explain some of the recent changes I have introduced to my services for GCSE and A Level students: First, GCSE: Recently, I released the new version of my Latin GCSE Revision Course, which includes not only a definitive platform to understand the grammar but also a guided section to learn the vocabulary and exercises to test your progress. I was soon contacted by Year 11 parents who had been waiting for the new course but were disappointed about paying for a 2-year access period. Not the reaction I was expecting! But they were right. I have therefore opened an option to buy 8-month access to the course. You get everything that is included in the 2-year program, but only for a limited time. And what about A-Level? To succeed at A-Level, you need to read KILOMETERS of Latin. This is in itself hard, but the lack of resources in accessible Latin only makes it more complicated, not to speak about getting students to find the time to do that reading! This is why I introduced unlimited access to Legentibus for all my higher-level students. Now, students get prompts on their phones and/or emails, and they have a treasury of texts that they can listen to on the go or translate with the integrated dictionary. The change has been huge! And this is all to say that if you have been hesitating about hitting that reply button and asking for something, you should go ahead and do it. I will get back to you, and perhaps you will give me an idea that turns into something truly remarkable! Before I say my "vale" and you send that "reply", here is my latest live video about common mistakes to avoid at GCSE (many of them also common at A-Level!). It was the first live in a while, and there were some issues with the camera, but the content is great, so I highly recommend you take note of the advice: |

Exams are there to focus attention and showcase achievement, but it is necessary to mix exams up with lower stakes, fun projects. This is particularly important for students who want to apply to competitive universities and want to look at creative and appealing ways to stretch their skills. In this newsletter, I want to share with you a couple of currently open competitions. There are so many options that every student, both those in school or in a different setting, should be able to find...
I have been very busy organising the new sections for my Latin GCSE self-paced revision course This is me diving near the Tavolara island during my recent trip to Sardinia, observing a Roman anchor in situ. - yes, even a little bit while on the lovely island of Sardinia! In case you wonder what type of person is thinking about examinations during holidays, I must say that it is precisely thanks to studying Latin that I developed a love for history, languages and exploration, which has led me...
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...
