About Giles
I am a graduate student at the University of Warwick and have recently submitted an MPhil thesis in Classics. I am available to tutor Latin, Ancient and Ancient History at GCSE, AS and A-Level and for university examinations. I have great experience of teaching GCSE and A-Level Latin and Ancient Greek to individual pupils and groups both before and while at university, which I can bring to bear on future tutoring.
At university, I study the use of Roman and Ancient Greek images on the mass-produced objects of the Great War. I am interested in how and why artists changed and deployed ancient images to mobilize men and women during the conflict and memorialize their services after the Armistice. I also study the audiences' perspectives to consider whether the artists were successful.
This research, and my previous study of Latin, Ancient Greek Grammar and Syntax, and Ancient History and the use of the Classical World in subsequent ages, such as on the medals of the Renaissance and during the rule of Benito Mussolini, provide me with a great knowledge that I can pass onto pupils of GCSE and A-Level Latin and Ancient Greek. This knowledge will certainly enhance their studies of Ancient Languages.

My son, Ben, arrived from Australia with a huge gap in his Latin knowledge. He tried a few other tutors who were unable to help. Giles was able to understand what Ben was missing and made an enormous difference even after the first session. Not only is Giles a fantastic tutor, Ben thought he was a very interesting person and looked forward to talking to him.
Mr Penman tutored my daughter in Latin, to prepare her for her Latin GCSE and then Latin A'Level. I found him to be a reliable and inspiring tutor, who helped not only with her translations, but also brought the Roman civilisation alive for her, and installed in her a love of Classics. He was very adaptable, and able to fit in with our timetable. He had such an extensive knowledge of the subject, that he was able to educate her with resources outside of the curriculum, which helped her gain a deeper understanding. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Penman, and cannot praise him highly enough.
