Why Latin Can Make Your Child's University Application Stand Out

Studying Latin is more than just learning an ancient language; it's a signal to top universities that your child is a dedicated and analytical thinker. It develops discipline and a sharp eye for detail, skills that are invaluable across all subjects. Whether they are dissecting the grammar of Cicero or exploring the themes in Virgil's Aeneid, your child is building a logical foundation that will strengthen their essays, arguments, and overall academic performance, making their university application truly compelling.

Victoria D

Friendly Latin tutor

I have been teaching for over 15 years, in schools, universities, colleges and museums, as well as a private tutor. My students have ranged from children as young as 6 to adults in their 50s. I hold to the principle that the best way to learn and engage with a subject is to be as relaxed and comfortable as possible, and so I aim to set all students at ease. It's easier to use your own brain power when you know you are in a safe space! I hold an undergraduate degree with joint honours in Egyptology and Classics, a Masters' degree in Classics with a focus on dramatic literature, and I am close...

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. Syed

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!
