About Joseph
After achieving all grade 9s (A*s) at GCSE, I obtained three A*s in Latin, Ancient Greek and French at A-level. I am currently studying Classics and French at The Queen’s College, Oxford University.
As a recent secondary school student myself, I believe that I am best placed to relate to my students. I understand the challenges and stresses of school life and therefore endeavour to implement a teaching approach that is both personal and practical. I believe that my success in public examinations was in large part due to strong study, revision, and exam techniques. Drawing from my personal experiences as a student, I aim to teach these techniques to my students (including all the tips and tricks that are commonly overlooked), enabling them to raise their grades not only in Latin, Greek or French but across the board.
I am intensely passionate about my subjects and can only hope that this passion is infectious. My areas of interest lie in linguistics, more specifically the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European (about which I wrote an essay that was Highly Commended in the prestigious Fitzwilliam College Cambridge Ancient World and Classics Essay Competition 2024), and the development of late Latin into early French. I have a particular love for poetry and my favourite classical authors are Homer, Catullus, Horace and Vergil. As for French, I enjoy the writings of the 16th century French literary group known as La Pléiade (especially Joachim du Bellay) as well as those of more modern symbolist poets, such as Baudelaire and Rimbaud.
In my spare time I enjoy running and reading poetry.

I teach Latin, Ancient Greek and French for years 7-13. Within this scope, I cater to a wide variety of abilities to suit the student’s individual needs, be it 13+, GCSE, A level, University admissions or simply summer work in preparation for the coming academic year. In particular, I have an excellent understanding of the Oxbridge admissions process, including Personal Statement, admissions tests, written work, and interview. As a recent successful applicant I know what works and what doesn’t and can demystify what can otherwise be an intimidatingly confusing and opaque process.
I take a holistic approach to my teaching of languages, with a focus on the development of skills (such as essay writing, literary analysis and translation) rather than on the acquisition of specific knowledge. I understand the challenges of these subjects from a student perspective and aim to meet students at their level, concentrating on practical approaches, tips and tricks that they can use to excel in their studies. I am keen to adapt my teaching style to suit the student’s individual needs, but think that lessons that are highly interactive, with lots of opportunities for practice and questions, work best.
Ultimately, I believe that learning can and should be fun, and that enjoyment goes hand in hand with success. I am very passionate about my subjects and hope that that passion rubs off on my students too!

Joseph is a fantastic and talented linguist. This is visible not only when I appreciate how deeply he understands the French language, but also when he breaks down elements of it to others which makes it much less daunting. I cannot recommend Joseph enough as a tutor and wish him all the best.
Joseph is a first-rate tutor and cunning Linguist. He helped me during my A level studies immensely, offering sound advice, helpful resources and excellent feedback. Having witnessed many of his presentations at school, it is also evident that he is precise with his wording, passionate about all things literature and language, and fascinated by others’ thoughts. With his wide-ranging teaching styles and interests both Modern and Classical, he consistently manages to engage even the most science-heavy of students!

With his wide-ranging teaching styles and interests both modern and classical, he consistently manages to engage even the most science-heavy of students with the wonders of Classics and French!
Joseph is an excellent young teacher whom I know from a prestigious London day school where I witnessed him give very interesting tutorials to students on fields as broad as Historical Linguistics and the roman poet, Horace. These sessions, as well as those with younger learners, demonstrated Joseph’s excellent subject knowledge, his ability to give clear and concise explanations of linguistic and literary concepts and creativity in his preparation of learning materials founded on first-rate IT skills. Joseph also has the best of human qualities as a teacher: as well as his dedication, he is reliable, patient and good-humoured. Joseph is focused on helping his students improve whatever their level. I recommend him to you most highly.
Throughout my time at secondary school, I have had several wonderful occasions to see Joseph give presentations and talks to younger year groups. One thing that stands out is his ability to speak coherently and concisely about language and linguistics. His insightful presentations were one of the main reasons I decided to take my language learning more seriously (consequently at Undergraduate Degree level) and he allowed me to discover more unique areas of study that I had neither conceived of nor considered previously. He certainly developed my interests literarily as well as linguistically, and his knowledge on French is especially sound.
