My daughter studied 3 unit Latin for the NSW HSC and Harriet was her tutor for 2 years. Harriet is a very experienced and well regarded dedicated teacher and a highly professional tutor. She is a very effective tutor using the online environment. Her love of languages is one of the things that makes her a great teacher. She guided my daughter through the curriculum and gave her a deeper understanding of the Latin texts, as well as helped with her 'unseen' translations. My daughter's performance in Latin exams improved and she was very well prepared and confident for all her assessments, the Year 12 trials and of course the HSC. Harriet's support meant that my daughter was able to complete year 12 without getting too stressed. Harriet is engaging towards the student, reliable, well prepared for tutoring sessions, and provides summary notes and weekly progress tasks. My daughter always looked forward to and enjoyed Harriet's lessons.

Harriet is a very helpful and professional tutor who teaches Latin to my daughter. Her teaching methods are very clear and concise. She teaches at the students´ pace making sure they are able to comprehend and apply the content. Her feedback helps the students to develop their interests in the area by encouraging them to improve their skills and to broaden their understanding.

Thank you Harriet for teaching my daughter! She has really gained a lot, moving from the low 70s in exams and assignments into the 90s just this year. Harriet's teaching style is exemplary, focusing on weak spots and prodding students into the right direction with plenty of practice. Her weekly notes are also a good insight into the lesson and give my daughter the chance to revise through the week. My child has really found Harriet's teaching style motivating to her school work, completing homework diligently and developing a genuine interest in the language.

My daughter is currently in year 12 and was struggling with some aspects of the French Continuers course and so I engaged Harriet to tutor her. From the very beginning it was clear that Harriet is extremely professional. She has a very effective tutoring approach, provides immediate written feedback both to the student and the parent and even her invoicing system is efficient! Pre Harriet my daughter’s last mark was 70%, with Harriet it is now 96%. This improvement is, without doubt, testament to Harriet’s skills as a tutor. I would recommend Harriet to anyone considering a tutor in languages.

Harriet has found her calling. She has a natural talent in sharing learning. She is well prepared. Provides regular updates on our son’s progress. I would not hesitate to recommend her has a tutor in Latin.The obvious success of these sessions are demonstrative of Harriet's skill as a teacher. Leo comes away with a smile on his face. I’m glad he is being asked to write down some words as that encourages his confidence with writing. Thank you for an excellent year of assistance. We are proud of L's progress, but more importantly Leo’s love of the classics has blossomed. We look forward to continuing his study with you in 2021.

Harriet is absolutely wonderful. She is patient and my daughter is really engaged with Harriet. After every session Harriet always lets me know what they have worked on for that day and also how my daughter's attitude was for the session. My daughter loves learning French and can't wait for each week. They way she is being taught she is learning really quickly while also having fun. I can't recommend Harriet enough.

Perfect! I got my daughter to start studying with Harriet when she was about to give up on Latin. Harriet sparked curiosity in my daughter, and made sure that she understood everything that was being taught. She ran through everything from start to end, making sure that my daughter was all good with the subject. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a tutor to turn to Harriet.

Harriet has been of invaluable help for my daughter in her preparation for her Year 9 Latin exam. My daughter was not enjoying Latin, but she has really enjoyed the sessions with Harriet. She particularly likes Harriet's teaching style, which she finds easy to understand, making Latin enjoyable. We are so glad we found her and I highly recommend Harriet as a Latin tutor.

My tutoring experience with Harriet has been facilitated by the fact that she is easily able to adapt given the different tasks within my course. Moreover, she is very good at instilling good habits which ensure precision and accuracy in one's writing. Finally, she is flexible and willing to go above and beyond to ensure a student's success.

I highly recommend Harriet as a Latin tutor. My son was feeling a bit lost with the jump to VCE and after only two sessions with Harriet is already feeling happier and confident to continue. Harriet is an excellent communicator and the detailed post lesson notes are greatly appreciated.

We are extremely happy with Harriet's private lessons for our son, who is in year 7. The 1 hour lesson, once a week has significantly improved his confidence and progress in class for two languages which he has never studied before, French and Latin. We highly recommend Harriet. Andrew has learnt for himself how valuable the lessons have been to his development. He very much appreciates your help.

Harriet has been an incredible help for Year 11 and Year 12 HSC Latin Continuers and Extension. I have been able to gain so much knowledge and develop my Latin skills in preparation for exams and assessment tasks. Her teaching style allows for a personalised learning experience which has helped me combat any weaknesses. I highly recommend Harriet as a tutor as I have seen great improvement in my understanding of the Latin language and in my results.

Harriet took my son from failing Latin to excelling at Latin. The methods she uses to teach Latin support a logical approach to learning a complex language. Harriet was great at adjusting her teaching style when my son was struggling to grasp a concept. Harriet comes highly recommended by us.
