About Christopher
Cambridge- and Harvard-educated Latin, Greek and Admissions tutor with almost a decade of tutoring experience. Every student is different, and I tailor my teaching to the needs of each individual, giving them the support and encouragement they need to achieve their own ambitions. Previous students of mine have won places and scholarships at top public schools including Westminster and St Paul’s and achieved an impressive number of A* grades or equivalent at GCSE and A Level/IB. I have previously also worked for an Oxbridge Admissions consultancy and can offer practice interviews and guidance at every stage of the application process.
I graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge with a Double-First in Classics, followed by an M.Phil degree (Distinction). I was subsequently awarded the 2015/16 Choate Fellowship to Harvard University, where I took a variety of classes (including one led by Ed Balls!). Outside tutoring, I work as a fund manager in Edinburgh.
I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do is ignite a genuine enthusiasm for their subject that will help them to develop into independent learners capable of flourishing on their own.
I have a full enhanced DBS certificate and conduct the majority of my lessons online. I look forward to being your or your child's tutor!

Perfect! Christopher is currently helping my daughter with her school assessment for 6th form admission and he is very precise , knowledgeable of the subjects he is teaching ( Greek and Latin ) and helping her as much as possible.
Subject : School Entrance Exams
Outcome : PositivePerfect! Impressed
I selected Christopher, to help my son in the final few weeks before his A Level Latin,because he has a very impressive CV. He made contact before the first lesson to plan it and provided guidance after the lesson too.

Christopher helped my daughter to gain her place at Westminster with the Classics , Greek and Latin.
He was competent, on top of then subjects and experienced in the subjects.
Highly recommended
Very happy about the place at 16+ at WestminsterChris is truly inspiring. Latin was a weak subject for my son until he started weekly Skype lessons with Chris. It is now his strongest for Common Entrance and so thirlled is he with it that he definitely wants to do it for GCSEs. Chris is inspiring, patient and allows his pupils to aspire to be more than then feel they can be when they first meet him. He is charming, punctual and proficient.
Christopher helped me to compose a personal statement for my applications to U.K. Universities. From the initial planning to the final stages, Christopher’s guidance and advice was invaluable. I would never have been able to create a personal statement of such a high standard without his help. Christopher was professional, insightful and friendly, and I would highly recommend his tutoring services to anyone thinking of applying for universities or tutoring for any other subject.
Chris initially helped me by getting my A Level Latin up to speed during 6th form as I was a year or two behind coming from the US system. It was during the following 9 months that my ability in Latin increased dramatically, from simply struggling to high achievement in class and assignments. My genuine interest in the subject was also fostered by our sessions, Latin ceased to be taxing and became the subject I found most interesting. This I directly attribute to Chris' unique teaching style. The bi-weekly sessions were intensive but never boring and he tailored the material to my interest in history and increasing capability. As I planned to study Ancient History at University, Chris included historical analysis amid Latin grammar in the authors we read to offer a wide breadth of classical tutoring that not only helped me with Latin but better prepared me for my other A levels. Chris' enthusiasm in tutoring helped build my confidence in what I perceived to be a difficult subject. Nearer to exam season Chris offered in depth exam preparation and test techniques advice that also increased my confidence in my classical subjects. I genuinely enjoyed the subjects I reviewed with him to such an extent that he is tutoring me in a beginner Greek course before university with the same patience and enthusiasm which makes his teaching style so appealing. If you want a tutor who will bring you up to speed in Greek or Latin while strengthening your abilities by providing context in history and philosophy alongside, Chris is your man.
Mr Howarth is an excellent tutor. He really challenges you with many unadapted texts, encouraging your interest in them with discussion of the text and additional exploration such as scansion. Your vocabulary and grammatical knowledge will become much better. He has a kind and encouraging teaching style, and is always supportive.
Chris was an extremely diligent and considerate tutor, who tailored the program to my son's needs. My son found him to be very approachable and could easily relate to Chris, which made learning all the more better.
