The core of my teaching method is to employ proven ancient methods for the modern day. As Cicero once said:
“We must argue every question on both sides, and bring out on every topic whatever points can be deemed plausible.” —Cicero, On Oratory

Adsum is incredibly knowledgeable about Classics and genuinely passionate about the subject. He’s thoughtful, approachable and great at explaining things in a way that makes them easy to understand. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn more about Classics.
Have had several consultation sessions with Adsum related to philosophy, communication, and rhetoric. What I appreciate about Adsum is his ability to simplify complex topics and to think critically.
In a world where everything is a medium vying for attention, critical thought and sound reasoning are lost but increasingly essential skills. These are things that Adsum excels in. His knowledge across and between a breadth of subjects are impressive and well worth the investment with him!Adsum is a clear and concise teacher who is well-spoken, approachable, and always is well prepared. He has a great ability to present thought-provoking ideas from fresh perspectives.
I really appreciate how he explains challenging topics in a way that is easy to understand while keeping the sessions very engaging. Also, he adapts his teaching style to suit you, ensuring you get the most out of each session.
I highly recommend Adsum as a tutor.I highly recommend Adsum as a tutor and have found his communication skills to be super impressive and engaging. He has a real talent for taking complex topics, like those of the Classics, and explaining them in a way that is easy to understand and way more fun than learning on my own!!
I also really appreciate how he adapts his communication approach based on each person’s needs. You can tell he genuinely wants his students to succeed and is willing to work with them in their individual skill levels. I would highly recommend Adsum to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and effective tutor.Adsum is truly a wonderful teacher! He is a clear and effective communicator, and has a great talent for articulating complex things well. His passion for the Classics could really be seen in how knowledgable he was on a variety of topics we discussed, and he was always helpful with any questions I had. I highly recommend him as a tutor who keeps things both educational and fun!
Adsum is an excellent communicator and incredibly knowledgeable in Classics. I highly recommend him!
As someone who often struggles to stay engaged with complex topics, I really appreciate how Adsum guides our discussions in a way which has helped me to focus better and explore the topic in greater depth.
He is great at explaining complex things in a simple, fun and engaging manner (great sense of humour too). His kindness and patience makes me feel valued in our conversations.I've known Adsum for over ten years and have seen the way he confidently and efficiently taught me and others. Bringing enthusiasm and wisdom to each lesson, he skilfully tailors each session to the needs of the student. He has been very patient with me when I've struggled to understand specific concepts and I have always felt he is working with me to achieve my goal. Adsum is very knowledgeable and has a real skill in being able to explain in simple terms complex ideas.
