About Elspeth
I am a Graduate in Classics from St. John's College, University of Oxford. I have been teaching for six years now: across this period, I have totalled over 5000 hours of tutoring, both online and in person, across a vast range of subjects - I focus primarily on English, Latin, Classical Greek and History, but I have experience teaching Maths, Sciences, and Psychology. I have extensive experience preparing students for ISEB pre-tests, the 7+, 11+, 13+ and other school entry exams. In the last year, my students have successfully achieved places and scholarships at schools including Eton, Westminster, Charterhouse and many more; beyond just exam success, children taught by me learn to develop a love for their subject that they will carry on with them to their destination school. I've taught ages three to sixty-five, and am always excited to meet new students and work with various needs. I believe the student-tutor dynamic should be at the heart of a good tutoring set-up, and I have seen this proven in the excellent improvement and results of my past tutees.
I'm more than happy to arrange a preliminary call to discuss your child's situation and goals before any bookings are made.
A little bit about my qualifications:
- Oxford Classics undergraduate degree.
- Four A*s at A-Level in History, Ancient History, Greek, Latin.
- 13 A*s at GCSE. - Prizes in international essay competitions, including the National College of the Humanities, Fitzwilliam College Cambridge.
And my experience:
- Over five thousand hours of private tutoring experience, online and in-person, across Latin, Greek, Ancient History, History, and English at KS1-3, GCSE, AS and A-Level, undergraduate and for 11+/13+ preparation.
- Supported students aged 4 to 63, helping them to achieve their goals, including top grades at GCSE and A-Level, successful university applications (Oxbridge and Russell Group), and high performance in competitive exams such as Eton’s King’s Scholarship, Westminster, Charterhouse
- Worked with tutoring agencies, who specialise in preparing high-ability students for Common Entrance, with a particular international focus, and an agency preparing students for IELTS exams as part of their applications to British universities.
- Taught English grammar and speaking skills to classes of international students at Oxford-based holiday camps.
-Specialised in tailored tutoring for disadvantaged students, including those with autism, dyslexia, and dementia.
Voluntary Work

As a student myself, I'm acutely aware of what works and what doesn't. I put the student-tutor relationship first in all I do - my lessons involve getting to know the student, and building a rapport to bring the subject to life!
I prefer to arrange a preliminary call with parents to discuss their child's goals, performance, strength and interests first. From this, I prepare a tailor-made educational plan with a roadmap to exam success.
My lessons are highly interactive, taking a best-fit approach that involves active learning and recall, and making use of a variety of resources to best fit any individual's learning style. I tailor my courses specifically to both the destination school and my students' interests, goals, and strengths with a particular focus on weaker areas. Continual recap and revision play an important role in my lessons, as evidence-supported routes to long-term understanding. My students tend to enjoy my lessons, go on to great success in their exams and develop a real love for their subjects!

Elspeth tutored my daughter in Latin across her GCSE years 10 and 11. Elspeth is an enthusiastic and positive tutor, taking a subject my daughter hated and explaining it clearly. Her grade improved greatly and we are very grateful to Elspeth for the 9 she got this summer. Thank you!
Elspeth has helped tutor me Latin this year :) thanks
Taught me GCSE English. Really helpful and I improved. Friendly and approachable - a good tutor.
Elspeth tutored my daughter in GCSE Maths, English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. She was struggling in school and has mild autism, but an hour a week with Elspeth got her work up to a high standard ready for the GCSE deadline during coronavirus. Elspeth was really friendly and supportive, and went the extra mile. I am so grateful for her help.
Elspeth has been really helpful in teaching me stuff for my GCSE courses, especially for Ancient History and she has helped me improve my grades at school.
