I tutor both UK and overseas students and I have more than 8,000 hours of teaching. I have worked with students across a wide range of abilities, providing subject-specific support, preparing them for entrance exams, and offering home-school instruction. My extensive expertise has enabled my students to excel academically, with many achieving top marks in their exams and gaining admission to the country’s most prestigious schools. I also prepare students for interviews and assist them in showcasing their co-curricular interests to provide target schools with an authentic and compelling picture of their abilities and passions.

In addition to his work with independent school admissions, I have a proven track record in teaching Latin across various academic levels, from beginner to more advanced. In the past two years, all my GCSE students have achieved the top grade of Level 9 in Latin, with many developing a newfound passion for the language that inspires them to continue their studies at A-Level and beyond.

My teaching philosophy is centered on fostering critical thinking and active engagement with the material. I work equally well with high-achieving students and those who require additional support, creating a personalised learning environment in which each student can realise their full potential. My approach is both rigorous and adaptable, ensuring that the needs of each individual are met through carefully tailored one-to-one instruction.
