About Joseph
I am an Oxfordshire native, professional musician, and have recently completed my PhD at Balliol College, University of Oxford. In 2019 I obtained a first-class degree in Classics from Balliol, and in 2021 completed a Master's degree in Cuneiform Studies at Wolfson College, Oxford, with distinction. I am currently actively engaged in academic research in Classics and ancient languages and literature, and teach a wide range of subjects relating to this.

I have had extensive experience both tutoring and mentoring in person with individuals, as well as leading larger groups. I have worked with people of all ages, from primary and secondary school aged children to adults. As well as being qualified to tutor in Classics, I also have experience teaching Music and Music Theory, as well as some more obscure ancient languages such as Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hittite. I believe an essential part of the job of a tutor is to go beyond merely offloading information onto the student by building up a rapport with the individual in order to develop their academic self-confidence and technique. This involves having the student approach topics through a variety of different exercises, and regular reviewing of past topics. I also focus closely on exam technique, to ensure that the student's skills are reflected as positively as possible in their results. I aim to identify from the start each student's strengths and weaknesses by starting off with going over the basics of the subject, then swiftly increasing the difficulty though without rushing, until the student's level and areas of weakness become clear. My lessons are usually an hour long, but I am happy to be flexible.

Perfect! We’ve just had our first session with Joseph and it’s been a huge hit. Joseph is very patient and my daughter announced that she found it “really fun”.
Perfect! expert and helpful
Perfect! Joseph helped my son with A level Latin. He is very easy to talk to, patient, very knowledgeable and made a massive difference to his exam outcome in a relatively short space of time. We would definitely recommend him to anyone else.

Joe tutored me in both Latin and Greek. He was a wonderful teacher, and I am so thankful for the all he taught me. He is organised, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable. He came up with a lesson plan that fit my needs, schedule, and expectations. He was engaging and made very lesson interesting. His explanations were always clear and helpful. I cannot recommend him enough as a tutor!
Joe is an expert tutor - he knows the subjects inside out and is able to communicate effectively, clearly, and in an engaging manner. He was also very good at adapting his teaching methods to our son's particular needs. I can absolutely recommend him as a tutor.
Joseph tutored my son last year. He has thorough knowledge of the subject and the exam board requirements. He quickly identified areas of weakness and tailored the lessons acordingly. This enabled him to achieve the top grade at gcse which he could not have done without Jospeh. I am very grateful for this.
I consider us very lucky to have found Joe to tutor our daughter. Joe’s tutoring has been a key part in encouraging our daughter’s curiosity and passion for ancient languages. Joe responds brilliantly to the interest and pace of our daughter and he creates a truly safe space for her to develop and express herself. Joe’s passion for his subject really comes through in his teaching. He takes time to explain even the most complicated concepts to ensure that our daughter fully understands the context. He uses the etymology of language brilliantly to help explain vocabulary. I have absolutely no concerns in recommending Joe’s teaching and would highly recommend him.
