EPQ Latin tutors
1 UK tutor who teach Latin at EPQ.
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.
The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification taken alongside A-levels (typically in Year 12 or Year 13) and is worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own topic and produce either a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance accompanied by a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec (7993) is the largest by a wide margin (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (Dissertation P301, Investigation P302, Performance P303, Artefact P304), OCR (H856) and WJEC / Eduqas also offer it. Tutoring on EPQ is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation and citation discipline, dissertation structure, statistical analysis where relevant, and viva preparation. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover the dissertation craft well.
