Latin Tutoring Cambridge

"For the past four years, we have had the privilege of having Louise as our daughter’s extracurricular Latin and French teacher. Louise is a patient, professional and organised teacher, who has developed an inspiring relationship and wonderful rapport with our daughter, who is currently attending a nationally renowned preparatory school in Cambridge. Louise’s ability to clearly explain complex concepts and advanced topics to children with no prior knowledge or experience using simple and easy-to-follow illustrations is second to none. As a result, our daughter has not only developed a strong interest in both Latin and French, but has also achieved the highest marks in those two subjects in her year for the past four consecutive years. Further, in summer of this year, our daughter has also won two First Prizes in her school’s Linguatrivia Competitions in French. Our daughter will start preparing her GCSEs in both Latin and French very shortly with Louise and is looking forward to continuing her studies of these two subjects into the Advanced Level. I am most confident that you will find Louise a reliable, committed and trustworthy teacher who encourages and empowers her students. I therefore have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her in the highest possible terms for your most serious consideration."

"Louise provided Latin tuition for my daughter in preparation for Latin GCSE in the summer term of 2016. Louise’s structured and rigorous approach ensured full coverage of the OCR syllabus with targeted work on my daughter’s weak points and boosted her abilities in the areas with which she was comfortable. Alice achieved 93% in the final exam, an A* grade which was testament to Louise’s exemplary method. Even more important than achieving the final grade was the infectious enthusiasm which Louise has for her subject. This resulted in Alice’s decision to take Latin A-level and proposed plan to apply for a Classics degree. Louise created a warm and welcoming environment for studying to supplement her meticulous teaching. I would be happy to supply further information to prospective students and could not recommend Louise highly enough."

"Louise has been tutoring Luca, 13, and Amalia, 11, in Latin over the past year while we’ve been away (over Skype unfortunately as we were in Italy). Louise was brilliant. I have never seen our kids so excited about lessons and so anxious to learn more. In a sense, this was no surprise: Louise was well-prepared for every lesson (which was essential given that the kids didn’t have any Latin in school and so relied entirely on the lessons and the work that Louise assigned to them). Her tightly focused but balanced approach was perfectly attuned to our childrens’ abilities. One never got the sense that the lessons or the assignments were too hard or too easy, and the childrens’ progress over the year was well beyond what they would have achieved in school. Louise has an easy, relaxed approach and is very personable and likeable (a must for teaching kids!), and has many years of experience in tutoring and teaching Latin at all levels."
