Academic awards & achievements Academic awards & achievements ◾ Margaret Stobie Keith Prize in Classics (June 2019, The University of Edinburgh): for work of distinction in Ancient Philosophy or Ancient Religion which was awarded 90% score in the academic coursework section; ◾ W. R. Hardie Memorial Prize in Classics (June 2018, The University of Edinburgh): two prizes are awarded annually for the 'best English essay on a prescribed subject'. ◾ Undergraduate Awards 2018: Highly Commended Award in the Literature Category (August 2018, UA): for my paper 'Love, Lies and Writing to Delight: Narrative reliability in the fictional world of the Second Sophistic'. About my sessions Provided that students follow all the instructions, they will see marked improvement after our first 10 lessons together. The lesson structure consists of: ◾ 15' of a powerpoint presentation on the topic in focus: I present separate presentations on each topic and question of the exam paper. ◾ Extended task: a skills-focused or pastpaper exercise, followed by detailed oral and written feedback. ◾ Summary quiz at the end of the class. For my pupils, I also offer the following: ◾ Personalised lesson timetable: To make sure we are strategic in our approach and prioritise all the key skills ◾ No extra charge for homework marking: This is free. I do not ask pupils to book a Marking Time session ◾ Free resources: After each class I send you the presentations and bonus documents for your revision ◾ Monthly progression report: To help you organise your studies and to show you how far you have progressed ◾ Vocabulary booklets: To get you to improve your use of academic phraseology Yet, all the above are most effective when personalised to the needs of each pupil. Hence, I encourage you to let me know of your interests, preferences and concerns by booking a free meeting with me first.

Fantastic tutor! Maria helped prepare my daughter for the GCSE English Language and Literature exams this year. After only 4 months, Justine managed to progress from a 6 to a 9 in both of these subjects!! A result that wouldn't have been possible without Maria's help and guidance. Highly recommended. Thank you Maria!

Maria is a wonderful, patient and professional tutor who provides excellent support and guidance to students. My son needed to improve on his written work, answering the questions correctly, keeping to the deadline, and believing in himself. After only a few months with Maria he has achieved an "A" in his English A Level exam. I can't recommend Maria strongly enough!
