About Maxwell
Oxford-educated Egyptologist with a decade of teaching experience. I offer individual lessons in Egyptian hieroglyphs to anyone with a passion for ancient Egypt. I introduce complete beginners to Middle Egyptian grammar and the hieroglyphic script used throughout the pharaonic era. We will explore all the basic aspects of both the hieroglyphic script and the grammar of the Middle Egyptian language. Learning how to read ancient Egyptian inscriptions and texts is an incredibly enriching and rewarding experience, and I look forward to sharing it with you! I read Egyptology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at University College, Oxford, followed by a Master’s in Classics with Distinction from the University of Edinburgh, and a further Master’s in Classics from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. I hold a PhD in Classics from the University of St Andrews. Outside tutoring, I work as an academic researcher at the University of Edinburgh.

I have taught Middle Egyptian language and literature, and ancient Egyptian history and culture, to classes and individual learners both at university and privately. I tutor entirely over Teams/Skype, so I can tutor students anywhere, at any frequency. I am available from Thursday to Monday inclusive. My lessons typically last for one hour, although I am open to altering the duration to suit a learner’s timetable or needs. Feel free to get in touch to discuss your requirements. I look forward to meeting you!

Perfect! Maxwell is a very knowledgeable and supportive tutor.
Perfect! Max took time to find out where my gaps in knowledge were and made sure that we covered those areas in our first lesson. I would highly recommend Max as a tutor of Middle Egyptian Hieroglyphs.

I have known Max for five years or more, first during his time at St Andrews working on his PhD, and then as examiner for his PhD thesis. Max is an outstanding researcher and an excellent teacher who thinks really hard about how to tailor his teaching to individual students. He has a huge amount of teaching experience – he has tutored extensively at the University of St Andrews and at a range of other universities in the UK and beyond – and a very wide range of expertise: he can teach among other things in Latin and Greek language, ancient history and classical civilization, Middle Egyptian language and literature and ancient Egyptian history. Jason König, School of Classics, University of St Andrews
I worked with Maxwell at the University of St Andrews, where we were both tutors, and where Maxwell taught Greek, Latin, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and ancient history. His teaching style is engaging and accessible, and I admired his ability to break down complex linguistic concepts and convey them simply and clearly to beginners in Greek and Latin. His handouts and teaching materials were of an excellent standard, and his previous students have won PhD scholarships at top universities in the US and the UK. Maxwell is an experienced and skilled teacher, and I recommend him very highly.
Dr. Giuseppe Eugenio Rallo, University of St AndrewsI have worked with Maxwell for several years and shared plenty of time with him. His work ethics are outstanding. It is an instructor you can trust. In addition, he always knows the subject matter in depth.
Having worked with Maxwell for five years at the University of St Andrews and the University of Pisa, I can say that he is one of the most capable and kindest of colleagues that I have ever worked with. Maxwell taught Greek, Latin, and ancient history to undergraduate students at St Andrews, where his subject knowledge and engaging teaching style demonstrated a great passion for the discipline. While at St Andrews, Maxwell received the honour of Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy for his services to the teaching of Greek and Latin in the department. With his thorough knowledge of Classics and his remarkable command of Greek and Latin language and literature, there is no more effective tutor for anyone seeking to learn more about the classical world.
