13+ Latin tutors
2 of 2 UK tutors teaching Latin at 13+.
Latin is offered at GCSE and A-level (OCR is the dominant board, Eduqas at GCSE) and combines language work — translation, comprehension, prose composition — with set-text literature in Virgil, Cicero, Tacitus, Ovid and others. It's a small-cohort subject; many state schools don't offer it at all, and Common Entrance Latin at 13+ is a separate strand. Tutoring helps most with the language paper at GCSE (the grammar and vocabulary load is heavy) and with the literary analysis at A-level, where set-text familiarity is decisive. Look for tutors with classics or ancient languages degrees — generalist humanities tutors won't get there.
The 13+ is the entrance test for independent senior schools (those starting at Year 9 rather than Year 7), sat in Year 8 — typically ISEB Common Pre-Test in Year 6/7 followed by Common Entrance or scholarship papers in Year 8. Some senior schools (Eton, Westminster, Winchester, St Paul's, Harrow) use their own papers. Subject coverage is broader than 11+ — English, maths, science as core, plus humanities, languages and often Latin for scholarship candidates. Tutoring helps most with the breadth, with specific past-paper familiarity for the target school, and with the interview preparation that scholarship rounds usually include.
