About Calypso
I have over 10 years' experience of both Latin and Greek, studying at Durham University, Cambridge University, and currently Oxford University where I am completing my PhD in Classical Languages and Literature. I have been tutoring for 5 years with excellent results and positive reviews. I hold a DBS check and the latest child safety certifications.

I take a personalised approach to lessons, depending on your level and goals. I am available for Common Entrance, Scholarship exams, GCSE, A-Level, IB and beyond, as well as those who are self-teaching. I also offer Sixth form entrance and Oxbridge interview prep. My typical lesson length is 1 hour, and mostly online, although I can take face-to-face students in the Oxford area. My teaching philosophy is to tailor my sessions precisely to my student's needs, but always combining an academically rigorous approach with enthusiasm and fun, ensuring the best outcome. Our first session, free of charge, will start with a discussion of where you are with the language currently, and where you would like to end up, so I can work out the most appropriate plan to help you achieve your desired results.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Calypso.
Perfect! Claypso has been a first-rate tutor to my daughter helping her prepare for her Greek GCSE. Her knowledge of and passion for the subject have been outstanding in both the language and literature components, bringing the content to life with superb detail in terms of adding context and history to much of the syllabus. As importantly, she made the lessons fun and relaxed - my daughter always looked forward to them. So much so, she is now considering Greek as an A Level choice. We recommend Calypso very highly.

Calypso has been tutoring our children for the past two years, and we could not be more grateful for her support. Our son began working with her in Year 7, and within a short time his writing skills improved dramatically. We were so impressed that when our daughter turned 11, we immediately asked Calypso to work with her as well.
She takes the time to understand each child’s strengths and goals, then designs an academic path to help them succeed. Her lessons are always engaging and thoughtfully structured; she knows how to spark curiosity while keeping the material challenging and fun. Her guidance has been invaluable, and her teaching has given our children confidence and skills that will last a lifetime.
We value her so much that, even after moving back to the United States, we continue to work with her for English, Writing, Latin, and Greek. Calypso is truly an outstanding tutor, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.Calypso has been my daughter’s sole tutor for Latin GSCE this year. Due to issues at school, my daughter changed options and attempted Latin in just one year. Calypso has been wonderful. She has motivated Rose through being clear and concise. She’s been flexible and fair and has never missed a lesson. Rose has found her teaching astute and on point. I cannot recommend her enough. Rose has enjoyed her lessons and learnt really well. Thank you
Calypso is the best tutor that I have worked with so far in ANY subject! She's extremely knowledgeable, precise, and has helped me learn more Greek than I thought was possible in the sessions I booked with her. She's also one of the most accommodating and nicest people I've ever met! If you are trying to learn Latin or Greek, look no further - you won't go wrong with Calypso!
I highly recommend Calypso! She is super knowledgeable about all things Latin and Greek but over and above that she’s super friendly and will be very patient if needed. She’s professional but will also keep sessions lighthearted and fun!
Calypso helped me enormously with my Latin GCSE and A-Level. She takes her time explaining difficult concepts, is patient, and is both extremely passionate and knowledgeable as a tutor. I would highly recommend her.
