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.

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