Latin and Greek Lessons from a Head of Department with over 20 years of teaching experience. Specialising in exam preparation and scholarships.

We cannot speak highly enough of Elizabeth Young and the wonderful experience our son, Eddie, has had with her tutoring. She makes learning fun, engaging and enjoyable. Eddie says the time flies and that she explains things so clearly — which, as parents, is just lovely to hear.

Her attention to detail is exceptional. The summaries she provides after each session are second to none: thoughtful, thorough and full of clear explanations, useful examples and practical guidance. She captures what they have covered, celebrates what Eddie has done well and carefully identifies what needs a little more practice. The care she puts into these notes is remarkable, and they give us such a helpful understanding of his learning and how we can support him.

What makes Elizabeth so special is that she combines all that preparation and care with lessons Eddie thoroughly enjoys. She finds ways to make tricky concepts click, keeps him interested and makes working things out feel rewarding. Her enthusiasm and encouragement shine through.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

Elizabeth Young has been a wonderful tutor for our son, Eddie. He says the time flies during their sessions and that she explains things really well. When your child says that about an extra hour of learning, it tells you rather a lot!

Her attention to detail is second to none, as are the thoughtful summaries she provides after each session. These clearly explain what they have covered, where Eddie has done well and what would benefit from further practice, with practical suggestions for supporting him at home.

What we particularly appreciate is how personal her teaching is. She takes the time to find explanations and approaches that make sense to Eddie, helping him understand how to work things out for himself. Her care and encouragement come through just as clearly in her follow-up notes as in the lessons themselves.

We couldn’t recommend Elizabeth more highly.

Elizabeth has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter who had been given an opportunity to take a GCSE in Latin via an outside school. She had received only an hour lesson a week and realised that she was not likely to do well in the exams.

Elizabeth worked with her weekly starting approximately 3 months prior to the exams. I noticed weekly improvement with understanding of Latin and greater confidence in applying correct endings to words.
Elizabeth would send a detailed summary of the lesson and extra helpful resources or materials, some of which are still stuck to her bedroom wall.

In a recent test she scored as high as the top of the class. Her level improved greatly, but so did her confidence.

I highly recommend Elizabeth. Easy to communicate with, very responsive, flexible and effective.
I would choose her again, and probably start even sooner!

Elizabeth has been teaching me Latin on an ad-hoc basis for some time now, and has been an excellent teacher. Her lessons are clear and well structured. At the end of each lesson, she gives me comprehensive write up so I can review everything we covered and track my progress.

She makes learning enjoyable and is very patient with me, and I’ve been surprised by how much I’ve improved. I’d highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Latin in a supportive, patient and organised way.

Teacher Elizabeth has been providing tutorial sessions on Latin and Greek for my son for the past 4 years (since Y6). Her lessons are structured and well-organised; the constructive feedback she provides has helped my son to overcome countless hurdles during his learning process, and allowed him to win a Classics academic award at a prestigious senior school. We are all very thankful for her tutelage.
