About Sophia
A graduate of Durham University I completed my Classics PGCE at King’s College, London. I was Head of Classics at St Catherine’s School, Bramley for six years, during which I mentored several Classics trainee teachers. I continue to give lectures for the KCL PGCE course. I am a keen advocate of promoting classics in the wider community and served as the Chair of the Guildford Classical Association for several years. I have also served as Deputy Director of the JSST Latin Summer School. I was Assistant Head Mistress and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead at Streatham & Clapham High School from 2016-2022, after which I returned to classroom teaching and tutoring after the arrival of my son, Aldous, in 2023.

Every student's classical journey is unique. My tailored approach ensures: 1. A personalised curriculum design based on individual academic goals, whether for GCSE, A-Level, university entrance, or personal enrichment. 2. Flexible pacing which respects each student's learning rhythm and builds confidence progressively. 3. A range of teaching methods incorporating visual aids, historical context, and interactive elements to make ancient languages accessible, especially those with additional needs such as ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia. 4. Real-world connections linking classical knowledge to modern literature, politics, and culture. 5. Adaptive assessment strategies that identify strengths and target areas for improvement. My students have consistently achieved improved examination grades, genuine enthusiasm for classical studies and a strong foundation for independent learning and research. My personalised approach recognises that each student brings different experiences, motivations, and challenges to their classical studies. By crafting lessons specifically around your needs, I shall ensure maximum engagement and accelerated progress in these rewarding, but demanding subjects. Ready to unlock the treasures of the classical world? Let's design a learning journey that's uniquely yours.

Sophia was amazing with my daughter who was really struggling with GCSE Latin 6 weeks before her exams. She was able to connect and find a way that worked and clicked for my daughter helping her achieve a grade 8. Sophia is an amazing tutor
Since working with Sophia, my grades have improved dramatically. More importantly, I've gone from dreading Latin lessons at school to genuinely looking forward to discovering new texts and authors. She has helped me develop strong analytical and translation skills that I know will serve me well in my exams and beyond.
Sophia is reliable, professional, and genuinely cares about my progress. She regularly checks in with me about how I'm finding the work and adjusts our approach if needed. I always feel supported and encouraged, which has made such a difference to my learning experience.
I would recommend Sophia to any A-Level Latin student without hesitation. She has the rare combination of deep knowledge, excellent teaching skills, and the ability to inspire real enthusiasm for the subject. Any student would be incredibly fortunate to work with her.Sophia is a brilliant tutor providing support in all areas of Latin, not only is she an excellent teacher but her ability to connect with her students allows for engaging lessons and efficient learning. I would highly reccomend Sophia to any student who is wanting to improve their Latin Skills.
