Why Latin Can Make Your Child's University Application Stand Out
Studying Latin is about so much more than an ancient language; it’s a way to develop the sharp, analytical mind that prestigious Russell Group universities are looking for. When your child learns to translate a complex text or grasp grammatical structures, they are building skills in logic, precision, and critical thinking. This demonstrates a level of academic rigour that strengthens applications for competitive degrees like Law, Medicine, and English, helping your child stand out from the crowd.

I love teaching languages. I have taught Latin and Spanish in both the independent and maintained sectors and have run Adult Education courses for Local Authorities. I tutor Latin, Spanish and French at both GCSE and “A” Level. My strength as a tutor is in being able to detect the areas of knowledge or skill with which the student needs help and tailoring the lessons to improve the student’s performance in those areas. Having examined many past papers at both GCSE and A Level, I am very familiar with the examination style and content in my subjects of expertise. I graduated in Classics (Latin and A...

David L
David is definitely one of the best tutors I have ever had! I am a university student and reached out to him about two months ago, wanting to learn Latin from scratch for personal interest, with the goal of sitting the GCSE Latin exam in about six months. While most tutors I approached dismissed this as unrealistic, David took on the challenge without hesitation.
His lessons are truly exceptionally well delivered, with a level of precision that reflects thorough preparation and extensive teaching experience. Through our weekly lessons, we have been able to cover more than half of the language component of the GCSE within just 2 months! But more importantly, I am able to retain the material effectively because David consistently incorporates active recall into our lessons and offers really useful advice on how to memorise things by building logical connections. His explanations are clear and succinct, lessons are well structured, and his ability to adjust the pace to my progress has made the learning process both manageable and effective.
David is also incredibly patient and motivating. His teaching style gives me full confidence that he can work effectively with learners of all levels and backgrounds. I would highly recommend him as you Latin tutor!

Ellie T
Ellie has provided outstanding support in my preparation for the WJEC Latin examinations.
Prior to beginning weekly tuition, I found the subject particularly challenging; however, through her clear explanations, structured approach, and consistent guidance, I have made significant progress and developed much greater confidence.
As I work towards my pre-GCSE mock examinations and my GCSEs next year, I am very pleased to be continuing my lessons with Ellie. Her professionalism and expertise have been invaluable, and I hope to benefit from her tuition throughout my GCSE studies.

Cian K
Cian has been an excellent excellent tutor for my daughter in A Level Latin. Latin used to be by far my daughter’s most difficult and least enjoyable subject. She was stuck on a B/C grade no matter how much she revised, and found the Prose Composition section impossible.
Despite starting lessons just a few months before the exams, Cian has encouraged my daughter and gone through all her weaker areas thoroughly with a strong focus on exam practice via textbooks and past papers alongside teaching her content with fantastic notes and examples. Cian has been a kind tutor with great communication and has eased all my daughter’s concerns in Latin, giving her confidence.
She has just achieved an A overall, with the Prose Composition being her best paper (45/50), something she never ever thought she could achieve. Thank you so so much Cian!

Emanuele P
Emanuele has been helping my daughter in Latin A-level as she was struggling bit to catch up with all the content and had a lack of confidence. In just a few lessons, he has already brought her up to scratch in all the aspects she was struggling with: unseen translations, comprehension and literature essays. Emanuele is friendly and supportive, and came to every lesson well prepared. He has also been providing many useful resources to supplement my daughter’s learning every week. Many thanks so far Emanuele!

Joseph B
We hired Joseph as my son had gained a conditional place to Eton and being an old Etonian, we thought Joseph would be perfect knowing what would be required academically. And we were not wrong. Having never been taught Latin or Greek, our son had to have a certain knowledge for his first year. My son tells me that Joseph made the lessons fun and the two of them got on really well. Joe was very punctual, thorough and obviously had put in a lot of time in the lesson planning. My son was happy to meet someone who had experienced Eton and who could talk to him about it. We recommend Joe whole heartedly. Thank you so much Joe!

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is applying to Queen Mary's College. Can a tutor help build a stronger application?
Absolutely. A tutor can help your child master a subject like Latin, demonstrating the kind of academic curiosity and ability that makes an application to a competitive college like Queen Mary's or Peter Symonds really shine.
We're worried our child is at a disadvantage for Russell Group universities because their school doesn't offer Latin. Can tutoring help?
Yes, this is a very common concern and a great reason to start tutoring. Our tutors can help your child gain a qualification that many top universities value highly, levelling the playing field and ensuring their application is as strong as it can be.
How do I choose the right Latin tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online Latin tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can find an expert who fits your family's budget.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child's confidence with a new subject?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This personal attention helps them grasp difficult concepts, celebrate small wins, and build the self-belief they need to succeed.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a translation with your child, review grammar rules, or help them prepare for an exam, all tailored to their needs.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be adapted to fit your child's needs, whether that's more frequent support before an exam or fortnightly sessions.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and see how their confidence and understanding are growing session by session.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond academics, your child can learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or even take up a new hobby like playing the guitar or chess. There's a tutor for almost every interest.
What technology do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
