Terry provided classes for our daughter in Leaving Certificate Latin and Ancient Greek… which she took independently, as they are taught in such a small number of schools at LC level in Ireland. She obtained a high honour level in these subjects in her Leaving Certificate exams as a result. Terry is an exceptional teacher whose passion and love for these two subjects (not to mention his immense knowledge, understanding and experience) was expertly shared in his classes with our daughter and is reflected in how well she did. Terry's style of teaching enables learning of the subject area to go hand in hand with enjoyment - a gift that clearly he has as a teacher. Helping to create a love of a subject area so knowledge and understanding passes on to the student in a joyful and engaging way at the highest level is how we would describe the experience our daughter had of Terry's classes. We are very grateful . Thank you so much.
From Sonia
Terry is an excellent tutor, one of the best I’ve ever had! His knowledge is truly incredible, he gave me knowledge that even my teachers didn’t know. He helped me understand some university level knowledge which I found interesting and will never forget! Terry was wonderful when I wrote many, many essay plans as he marked and edited them all. Thanks to Terry I have truly loved my studies of classical civilisation, and it is now my favourite subject. I am positive that I will achieve high grades in august. Thank you Terry.
From Matthieu
Terry has been a great teacher for your 14 years-old son (French). He really enjoyed the face-to-face discussions with Terry, and these lessons helped him a lot feeling more confortable to express himself in English.
From Michael
Terry has tutored our son for his common entrance exam in both Latin and Greek. He has been an outstanding tutor, really engaging, with clear focus on the areas of our son's knowledge that would add most value and our son has benefited enormously from his study with Terry in terms of gains in knowledge, tackling issues that he couldn't get to grips and a massive increase in confidence.
We have always found Terry to be highly reliable, highly professional, personally charming and we could not recommend her more highly.
Thank you, Terry. We will definitely come back to you for continuing the higher level Classic.

From Rafia
Terry is obviously a highly competent tutor - however I don't feel it was the right fit for my son. Very pleasant to deal with, so absolutely no issues there.
From Colleen
Terry was a superb tutor for my son. He developed his range and depth of understanding of Greek texts and, most importantly, helped build his confidence. Terry is erudite while also being highly approachable and responsive. He has an excellent understanding of the A-level syllabus as well as Oxbridge entrance exams and processes. He is very flexible and supportive and my son hugely enjoyed the tutorials and learned a great deal.
From Jun
Terry is an excellent tutor. He taught very carefully and he was very patient with his tutees.
From Fiona
Terry has a very thorough knowledge of ancient history and is supporting my son with his independent A level studies with enthusiasm and commitment. Terry has provided an excellent self-study structure and gives regular feedback to help my son to cover the curriculum content in a short time, refine his essay writing and prepare for the exam. Terry’s teaching shares not only his understanding but his passion for the subject and my son really enjoys his tutor sessions.
