I am a tutor in Latin, Classical and Koine Greek, and Classics. My career background is in lecturing, school teaching, including as Head of Classics, and adult learning. I have over 12 years experience in 1:1 tuition. I tutor children and adults at all levels, principally online. Find out more about me and my services at voxclaratutoring.com.
I have a BA in Classical Studies (1st class honours with Dean’s Commendation, University of Exeter), MA in Classics and Ancient History (Distinction, University of Exeter), and a PhD in Classics (AHRC-funded, University of Reading). I am reaching the end of a part-time MTh in Theology (UWTSD). My research specialism is late antique poetry, especially the 4th Century Latin poet Claudian. I have published widely, including her book, Claudian the Poet (CUP, 2018).
After completing my PhD, I held Teaching Fellowships at the Universities of Reading and Bristol. Here I taught a range of classical subjects, in particular Latin and ancient literature. Subsequently I worked as the Adult Learning Officer at St Albans Cathedral, teaching Latin, New Testament Greek, and literature. I also ran the Cathedral Study Centre and Library. I left this position to teach Classics at St Swithun’s School, Winchester, before moving to The Oratory School, Reading. Here I was Head of Classics and subsequently Head of Sixth Form. I left at the end of 2020 for health reasons, and now tutor full-time.
I have offered 1:1 tutoring in Classics for over 12 years. I am experienced in working with both children and adults, including undergraduates and postgraduates. I teach Latin, Classical Greek, and Classical Civilisation from beginners through to GCSE and A Level. I have also taught International Baccalaureate, Common Entrance, and Oxbridge Preparation. I also tutor in New Testament Greek. Alongside Classical subjects, I have also tutored English language and literature. I am available to teach weekdays, evenings, and weekends, as well as intensive holiday teaching and summer schools. I have a DBS check and am a member of The Tutoring Association.
I offer tutoring in the following, principally via Skype and Zoom.
