IB Ancient Greek tutors
2 UK tutors who teach Ancient Greek at IB.
Ancient Greek (OCR at GCSE and A-level) is rarer than Latin and covers translation, comprehension, and set texts in Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides, Sophocles, Euripides and others. School provision is concentrated in independent schools and a small number of state grammars; tutors are correspondingly scarce. Tutoring helps most with the language load (Greek's morphology is heavier than Latin's, and most students need more practice on accidence and syntax than school timetables allow) and with the dialect variations in set-text authors. Look for tutors with a classics degree and explicit Greek (not just Latin) fluency.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year sixth-form qualification taken in place of A-levels, offered by some independent and a small number of state schools. Students take six subjects (three Higher Level, three Standard Level) plus the Theory of Knowledge course, the Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). UK universities accept the IB on equivalent UCAS-points terms, often with course-specific subject requirements. Tutoring helps most with HL subject content (which goes beyond A-level in some cases), with the Extended Essay, and with the Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation. Look for tutors with explicit IB teaching or examining experience.
