Andrew studied Classics at Pembroke College Oxford and at Exeter University, completing his PGCE in Classics and English in 1983. He has taught Classics privately since 1983, and from 2007 from Primary level (including home-education courses following Minimus) through GCSE and A Level, to University level - including coaching undergraduates in Greek Accentuation. From 2008 to 2014 Andrew taught Classics at a Catholic Grammar School in Slough, and since 2012 he has been a Classics Tutor for City Lit, and has also lectured at the BM/City Lit Classics Day. Since 2000 Andrew has delivered tours for Adult ESOL Students for the Victoria and Albert Museum and for the British Museum – where he has also delivered workshops for children on Ancient Greek and Egyptian Life. Andrew’s approach to Latin and Greek learning includes an emphasis on hearing how the languages sounded, and practising reading aloud; and he is presently leading a project with Cambridge University Press to produce an audio facility to accompany CUP’s Reading Latin series, entitled Speaking Latin – due out in 2026.
