About Tom
I am a recent graduate from the University of Oxford (graduated in 2025 with a high 2:1), with GCSEs and A Levels in Latin and Ancient Greek. My thesis was on the Roman author Cicero, but I enjoy a wide selection of Classical authors, including Homer, Herodotus and the Greek tragedians; in Latin, my favourites are Virgil, Livy and Horace. I have a passion for the intricacies of grammar, having taken a paper in Latin Linguistics for my finals, as well as for history and literary analysis (I came second in my Oxford cohort in three of the most popular papers: Archaic Greek History, the Aeneid and Greek Tragedy).

Lessons 40-120 minutes, depending on student's needs. A very high 2:1 in Classics from University of Oxford, with experience of teaching all secondary years during a 3-month placement in a West London state school. Lessons for all ages 11+, including adult learners.
I like to focus especially on translation skills, working through a passage in detail to model ideal practices and to reinforce the student's ability to do this independently. I can also provide help with literature essays at GCSE and A Level.
I have experience of helping candidates prepare for subject tests and interviews for admission to Oxford and Cambridge, and am happy to provide coaching and practice for these.

Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
I have known Tom for a very long time. His devotion to Classics is unmatched and his willingness to impart his love for the subject is winning. I remember the Cicero reading society he founded in Balliol College; it was a great achievement to make Cicero so enjoyable! I have great confidence in his ability as a teacher and the depth of his learning.
