Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

What happens if I'm not happy with my first Classics lesson?

Your peace of mind is our priority. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you're not completely satisfied with your initial lesson, we'll find you another tutor for free. We're dedicated to helping you find the perfect match.

Do I need any specific books or software for Classics lessons?

Not for your first lesson. Your tutor will assess your level and goals and can then recommend the best resources for you, whether it's a specific textbook series like the Cambridge Latin Course, Wheelock's Latin, or online resources. All you need to start is a device with an internet connection.

How much do online Classics tutors cost?

The price of Classics tutors varies based on their experience and qualifications. You can browse tutor profiles to see their individual rates, ensuring you find an expert who fits your budget.

Can I learn Classics as a complete beginner?

Absolutely! Our tutors are experienced in guiding absolute beginners. They can start with the very basics of the Latin or Greek alphabet and build your knowledge from the ground up in a supportive, encouraging environment.

How do I find the right Classics tutor for me?

You can use our search filters to find tutors based on their experience, price, and availability. Read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other students to find your ideal guide to the ancient world.

What will a typical online Classics lesson be like?

Your lesson will be tailored to you. It might involve working through grammatical concepts, translating passages from ancient texts, discussing cultural context, or practising pronunciation. Your tutor will create a dynamic session focused on your specific learning goals.

Can a tutor help me with my Classics A-Levels or university exams?

Yes, many of our tutors specialise in exam preparation for qualifications like A-Level, IB, or university-level Classics courses. They can help you with set texts, unseen translation, and literary analysis to help you achieve top marks.

Should I learn Latin or Ancient Greek first?

That's a great question to discuss with a tutor! Generally, Latin is considered slightly more accessible for English speakers. However, your choice depends on your interests: Roman history and literature, or Greek philosophy and drama. A tutor can help you decide.

How long does it take to become proficient in Latin or Greek?

This varies for every learner. With consistent practice and expert guidance from a tutor, you can start reading adapted texts within a few months. Reaching a high level of proficiency to read complex original works can take a few years of dedicated study.

Are the tutors qualified to teach Classics?

Yes. Every tutor on Tutorful undergoes a strict vetting process, and we accept only 1 in 8 applicants. Our Classics tutors typically have degrees in Classics, Classical Civilisation, or related fields from top universities.

Can I learn about classical history and mythology, not just the language?

Of course. Many of our Classics tutors are also experts in the broader field of Classical Civilisation, covering history, art, philosophy, and mythology. You can specify your interests when searching for a tutor.
