Georgios Gourlemakis Teacher of Greek and Latin
No reviews yet

I have a Bachelor Degree in Philology (upper 10% of my class) with a specialisation in Classical Studies, as well as MA in Classics (UCL) and I have a 6 years experience teaching students of all ages. I have a QTS and I have taught several students, from beginners to proficient users of the language entering the university, with outstanding results. Over the past few years, I've had the privilege of tutoring numerous students in this captivating subject. Guiding students through the realms of ancient civilizations, literature, and languages has been incredibly rewarding. I can teach any type of Latin, Greek and History lessons, taking my students from the beginners level to excellence. I follow a systematic approach that will guarantee fast and steady progression to higher levels of classical knowledge guaranteeing high GCSE and A-level grades and deep knowledge of the subject. My teaching is individualised based on the needs of the students with the ultimate aim of teaching people that will enjoy studying classics and learning about the civilisations that constitute the basis of our modern world. Last but not least, my approach is patient, encouraging, and focused on building a strong foundation of knowledge while fostering critical thinking skills.
