About Sophie
Hello and welcome,
My name is Sophie. I work as a Teacher of Latin at Brighton College and as a Mental Health Youth Support Worker around East Sussex.
I graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a 1st in Classics and went on to complete a Masters in custodial rehabilitation.
A bit about my love of Classics and specifically Latin - I first discovered my love for Greek myths and Latin language at school. At Trinity College Dublin, I was surrounded by the most inspiring professors and I could not have loved the course more. In 2018, I curated a Latin camp, which involved three days of Latin learning and Greek myth discussions at the end of August.
I have taught all levels, from beginners to A-level, and love working with my students to focus on their strengths and weaknesses.
Please get in touch if you are looking for a tutor!

Vocabulary and principal parts are key. So I begin with 20-word quizzes.
Set text learning: can seem mundane, but if you engage with and find the humour immersed in the text, it can be made easy and relatable to learn, whether that's Ovid, Pliny, Virgil or Cicero! I would suss out the best fitting method that would suit my pupil, then decide which method to embark upon. I personally used a variety of techniques, with mini wipe board, creating songs, summarising each scene, speaking it aloud repeatedly, etc.
Translation technique: I would demonstrate methods of translating, often with different coloured highlighters, and by underlining the subject, verb and object of each sentence. I would encourage anyone to find the most suitable method for themselves.

I would struggle to find a tutor that is more dedicated to their students than Sophie. She is just great; she doesn't just look at the task ahead but also goes above and beyond through understanding how to get the best results from her students. He has not only helped improve my French but also my drive and focus to do and be the best that I can be.
Sophie commits herself to the task at hand and is consistent and reliable. A very good tutor I will definitely be using again
Me and Sophie went to school together and i can honestly say she is a fantastic teacher. I strongly attribute my GCSE and A level language and Philosophy marks to Sophie's excellent tutoring. She dedicated a huge amount of time to helping me during her own exams.
She is dillent and organised, and an extremely approachable person. I guarantee she will make any student feel comfortable and relaxed in order to get the most out of their learning. Overall, she is an excellent candidate for a tutor if you are looking to achieve fantastic exam results.Sophie has been tutoring french to my little sister who is 13 years old once/twice a week for the last month. Not only has she helped Emily regrow her confidence in speaking the language but Emily actually seems to enjoy learning it for the first time! Her marks have been consistently improving since we started the extra lessons.
This has been a challenging period for us since lockdown and we are so grateful to Sophie for all her help.
Merci beaucoup!View more recommendations
