I am an experienced Classics teacher, who has turned to full-time tutoring after moving to North Carolina from the UK with his wife.

Having been raised by two Classics teachers, I have had a passion for the Ancient World from an early age. I fell in love with teaching after leaving university and taking up a position at Christ’s Hospital School as short-term cover for another teacher. I have not looked back since.

Since moving to North Carolina, I have been a part-time tutor to former pupils in Edinburgh as they sit their Scholarship examinations or their GCSE’s.
