Oxbridge Classics Admission Application and Test Coaching
Applications for Classics at Oxford and Cambridge both involve a language assessment, for which I provide expert tutoring and guidance in as a first-class Classics and English graduate from Oxford.
Classics at Oxford uses the Classics Admissions Test (CAT) for Course I (for students with Latin/Greek to A Level) or the Classical Language Aptitude Test (CLAT) for Course II (for students without Latin/Greek) to decide who will be invited for interview. At Cambridge only candidates shortlisted for interview will be required to take such assessment, which will be a translation exercise for the 3-year course, or a language aptitude interview for the 4-year. All assessments involve careful application of linguistic knowledge, whether of classical languages or English, which I will ensure you are extremely well-prepared to do.
Applicants are also required to submit two pieces of written work prior to interview, which I am able to advise about if requested.

About Me
Hello! My name is Maya, I am a first-class Classics and English graduate from the University of Oxford with significant experience in subject tutoring and Oxbridge admission coaching.I fully appreciate the significance 1-to-1 tuition can have on a student's ability, confidence, and enjoyment in a subject. After I received such teaching at Oxford (having come from large state comprehensive schools), I ended up coming 2nd in my cohort in my finals. I want to help others realise their potential in the same way -- whatever they are aiming for.
I can offer Oxbridge admissions coaching, as well as teaching to all school levels in: English Language, English Literature, History, Classics, Latin, and Classical Greek. Please enquire as to the level and content you require, as I can offer further subjects at KS3 level and under.

Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart.
I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Learn the schedules by heart.
2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results.
Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind.
I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics.
What will not be the subject of the course:
learn lists of verbs;
learn lists of nouns with their gender;
learn words with their translations;
memory card game;
doing school exercises;
follow the program in a notebook;
impose French grammar on the Latin language.
What matters to me in particular:
motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm;
encourage creativity;
make friends with language;
letters and their sounds
strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop;
teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart;
explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ;
place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice.
In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy.
I look forward to meeting you.

GCSE: Latin Language and Latin Literature Lessons.I am familiar with many examining boards, such as AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel.
My goal is to:
- Provide personalised support to help the student overcome their academic challenges, instilling confidence in the topic.
- Strengthen the student's understanding of exam board 'Assessment Objectives', equipping them to approach exams strategically. (Exams are like a game - knowing the rules makes success easier).
- Enhance writing skills by reinforcing PEA structure (Point, Evidence, Explain) for clear and effective responses.
- Offer practical advice on revision techniques, study tips, and tools to boost the student's performance.
I achieved A* in Latin at GCSE in 2017, without dropping a mark I scored 100% across all four papers (400/400 UMS).
I earned an A in Latin at A-level in 2019.
I was offered a place to read Classics with English Literature at Edinburgh University in 2020. I studied Latin for two years at Edinburgh, before dropping it to complete my undergrad in only English Literature.
I graduated with First-Class MA Honours in English Literature in July 2024.

Latin + Greek for Beginners - a great way to improve memory, understand ancient cultures, and assist modern language learningStudying Latin and Greek can enhance your understanding of English vocabulary and grammar, as many English words have roots in these languages. By learning Latin and Greek, you can develop a deeper appreciation for the origins of words and their meanings. This knowledge can be useful in fields such as law, medicine, and science, where technical vocabulary has Latin and Greek roots.
Knowing these languages can also improve your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Both Latin and Greek are highly structured, and mastering them requires attention to detail and logical thinking - it's the kind of brain training that puts your morning crossword or sudoku to shame! Furthermore, studying ancient texts can help you both to develop analytical and interpretive skills that can be applied in various academic and professional fields, and also gain a firm grasp on cultures which permeate modern life.
These ancient languages are also useful for those interested in pursuing a career in academia, law, medicine, or any field that values research and analysis, since many graduate programs require knowledge of Latin and Greek, and fluency in these languages can open up opportunities for research and scholarship in fields such as classics, history, and philosophy.
Finally, learning Latin and Greek can also provide personal enrichment and cultural understanding. These languages have been instrumental in shaping Western culture, from their mythology and philosophy, to theatre and art. Studying Latin and Greek can provide insight into the history, literature, and art of ancient civilizations, and the ways in which they reach into modern life.
In summary, learning Latin and Greek can offer a range of benefits, from improving your understanding of English to enhancing your critical thinking skills, opening up career opportunities, and providing cultural enrichment.
I can ensure a pleasant and upbeat working atmosphere, that will keep your mind as sharp as a tack!

Private Mathematics Lessons - A-levels, GCSE (Edexcel, AQA, OCR)Maths is my second language, if not my first! I am currently studying for a Masters in Maths at King's College London, and love to share the knowledge I have with students.
__Qualifications__

Over the years of teaching, I have refined my ability to teach, and have a foolproof method of improving students problem-solving skills. I believe in a holistic approach to Maths, where I emphasize "how" and "why" the problem and solution works, this not only guarantees an improvement in the students mathematical ability (and subsequently their grades), but in their ability to swiftly grasp any future Maths concepts they learn.

I have extensive tutoring experience on undergraduate academic tutorials. My area of expertise is applied mathematics, including probability and statistics, R Statistical coding, Python, differentials equations, linear algebra and calculus.
I collaborate with some of the top tutoring and education consultant firms in London and I have a proven track record of successfully preparing students for their 11+, 13+, GCSEs and A-Levels in Maths, whether their goal is to enter independent/grammar schools or league table UK universities. I also have extensive experience with the mathematics section of the SAT Reasoning Test (SAT) preparation, required by several international universities in Europe and the US.

I like to believe that I take a friendly approach to teaching and that my students are able to comprehend the subjects we discuss.
I am always aiming to identify and cover knowledge gaps in a student's understanding that otherwise keep adding up. Working as an independent private tutor since 2016, I am equipped with patience and a good perception of the student's weaknesses, as well as a broad knowledge of mathematical tools that come in handy in the process of properly explain concepts.

Succeed in the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Private preparation sessions | [IN LINE]My name is Fawzi, and I am a French language teacher. Since 2012, I have been giving private lessons online. My objective is to support learners towards success in the DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) or the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), as well as the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have had the pleasure of helping many students of different nationalities through my online courses. For me, helping enthusiasts practice the French language is an enriching experience, because I understand the importance of success in the lives of ambitious people.
I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. During my classes, I explain concepts in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your preference. At the end of each session, I offer exercises to do as homework, in order to identify your gaps and monitor your progress.
Here are some essential points to know about the DELF and DALF:
- The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two high-quality official diplomas. They are aligned with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and cover the following six levels, from the most basic to the most advanced: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
- The DELF B2 and, increasingly, the DALF C1, provide access to French, European or French-speaking universities, as well as certain Grandes Ecoles.
If you plan to take DELF or DALF exams, or if you want to improve your level, do not hesitate to book your sessions with me to start preparation. I am available !
