I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Duncan

Certified Tutor

I've been a teacher in the U.K. for over 20 years, teaching in some of the leading Independent Schools in both England and Scotland. I've taught pupils from ages 7 - 18 but a high proportion of my teaching has concentrated on pupils from 10 - 13. At the upper end, I have taught GCSE, A'Level and the I.B.

My specialise in Classics (Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation), though I have taught and tutored in all mainstream subjects; latterly I have done so in Europe and in Hong Kong. I really love my teaching and have a fun and energetic style - whilst showing patience and care for the students I work with.

I have tutored Latin, Greek and French for a long time - all through when I was teaching in U.K. schools. I started tutoring the whole range of school subjects when I took up a job to teach abroad; I have been teaching abroad for five years now and love it!

I attended school (High School in the U.S.!) in the west of the U.K. and boarded there for 11 years! I was heavily involved in music, drama, sport and outdoor activities as well as my academic studies. I then moved to London where I studied Latin and Greek (amongst other subjects) at University College, London, before moving to Cambridge to study teaching.

In 2017, I started working as an international tutor, working in Sweden, Switzerland, Mozambique and Italy. I then worked for a family in Hong Kong for 3 years.

Duncan’s Qualifications
Education & Certification

Undergraduate Degree: University College, London - Bachelor in Arts, Classics

Hobbies

Outside of the classroom, I adore climbing mountains, hiking, running, playing the piano, painting, skiing, and reading. I also enjoy music (both classical and 'pop'), art, sport, drama and outdoor activities. All of these are essential to a good, broad education, I believe, as they allow a student to grow in confidence in a variety of ways.
