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.
South London boroughs including Lambeth, Southwark and Bromley have a growing pool of private tutors serving local families.
