My teaching covers a wide range of topics including Roman and Greek history, literature, philosophy, and classical civilisation. My approach is tailored to each student’s academic needs and learning style—whether you're aiming for top exam results, tackling challenging texts like Homer or Tacitus, or refining your essay-writing and source analysis skills.

I am a private tutor with over 5 years of experience specialising in Classics and Ancient History, working with students from GCSE level through to second-year undergraduate study. I’ve supported learners across a wide range of abilities, helping them develop a stronger understanding of ancient texts, improve their analytical skills, and learn how to structure clear, coherent arguments—whether for coursework, exams, or personal enrichment. My lessons are tailored to each student’s individual needs and academic goals. Whether you're grappling with the complexities of Latin grammar, unpacking historical sources, or preparing for essay-based assessments, I offer structured, supportive sessions designed to build both confidence and competence. Lessons are typically one hour, though I’m happy to offer longer sessions where needed. Above all, my aim is to make the ancient world accessible, engaging, and relevant—while helping students meet their potential at every stage of their academic journey

George seems very knowledgeable and understands the academic system well to get the best results.
