A-level Classical Civilisation tutors
9 UK tutors who teach Classical Civilisation at A-level. £30–£75/hr · median £50
Classical Civilisation (OCR is the dominant board) covers Greek and Roman literature, art, mythology and society through texts in translation: Homer, Virgil, Greek tragedy, Roman epic, plus archaeology and material culture. It's a humanities subject, not a language one, and it's a strong choice for students drawn to history, literature or philosophy who haven't studied Latin or Greek. Tutoring helps most with extended essay technique and with the visual and material analysis components, which are unfamiliar territory for most students. Look for tutors with a classics or ancient history background. Schools often staff this subject from English or History departments.
A-levels are sat at the end of Year 13 (age 17-18) and are the standard UK university-entrance qualification, with most students taking 3 subjects (sometimes 4 plus an EPQ). Grades A*-E feed UCAS, and competitive university courses set offers at AAA or higher. Tutoring helps most with the step up from GCSE: A-levels demand independent learning, denser content, and exam technique that rewards structured argument or method-mark-aware working. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, CIE) diverge meaningfully, so match the tutor to the spec, especially in maths, sciences and modern languages where assessment differences are sharp.
