Our second eight week Latin course for those who have a smattering of grammar and vocabulary and would like to move on to the next level. We will continue with our thorough grammatical approach and will carry out English to Latin translation as well as the other way round.

Susanna Hislop is a performer, director, writer, teacher and Latin lover living in London. She studied at Cambridge University before training at the Oxford School of Drama and LISPA. She has a passion for grammar, and a hatred of poorly taught Latin.  She has been a tutor to individual students, teaching Latin, English and History from primary school to degree level, and has also taught larger classes both in schools and community centres. Until recently, she was a teacher for The Latin Programme, a charity which aims to improve literacy in state primary schools via Latin. Susanna is Artistic Director of the theatre company Slip of Steel and a Saturday girl at Lutyens & Rubinstein bookshop, and is currently writing a book about Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway.
