AS-level Latin tutors
2 of 2 UK tutors teaching Latin at AS-level.
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.
AS-levels are the first-year sixth-form qualification (Year 12, age 16-17), taken as standalone qualifications worth half an A-level in subjects where students don't continue to A2. Since the 2015-2017 reforms decoupled AS from A-level in England, AS marks no longer count toward the A-level grade — students sit fresh A-level exams at the end of Year 13. Wales and Northern Ireland retained the older modular structure. Tutoring at AS focuses on consolidation through Year 12 to set up A-level success; in England, the AS exam itself is now optional and increasingly skipped. Confirm the actual route the student is on.
