Melbourne tutor in Latin

5.0  (6 student reviews)

I am highly qualified academically. My qualifications include a first-class honours MA and a PhD in Latin. I have an expert knowledge of Latin and a proven record of success as a teacher of the subject.

In addition, I am a recognised authority on the Spanish humanist Juan Luis Vives (1493-1540), having published several bilingual editions of that writer’s works. Copies of my books are held in the major British, European, and American university libraries. I have also published in The Journal of Ecclesiastical History (Cambridge), and Humanistica Lovaniensia (Louvain), the principal journal in the field of medieval, Renaissance, and modern Latin.

I have taught Latin for over twenty years across all year levels and have a thorough working knowledge of the VCE Latin syllabus and assessment requirements. Following a career at the University of Melbourne, where I was in turn a Tutor in the Department of History, Dean of Newman College, and a senior faculty administrator, I taught VCE Latin at Melbourne Grammar School before taking up a position at Xavier College, where I have been teaching VCE Latin and Classical Greek.

I am a former VCE Latin assessor (2019-2025) and was at one stage a member of the VCE Latin Examination Development Panel. I was a member of the Focus Group set up by the VCAA to review the VCE Latin Study Design prior to its recent re-accreditation and more recently was a member of the VCAA Reference Panel for developing the Victorian Curriculum Version 2 for 7-10 Classical Languages. I have regularly tutored VCE Latin students from a range of schools since 2004. These have included several of the highest-performing students in the State. I have also on occasion successfully prepared students for the Oxford University Classics Admissions Test.

I am available to tutor students at all year levels.
