Classical Civilisation tutoring covers the literature, history, philosophy and culture of ancient Greece and Rome at GCSE and A-Level. Unlike Latin or Ancient Greek, Classical Civilisation does not require knowledge of classical languages — all texts are read in translation. Tutoring builds the contextual knowledge and analytical essay technique the mark scheme rewards.
Classical Civilisation requires students to analyse literature and historical sources through multiple lenses — literary, historical, social and cultural — while maintaining a sophisticated essay argument across a very broad specification.
Ealing families have strong demand for private tutors, particularly for GCSE Maths and Sciences and 11 Plus preparation for grammar school entry.
