Profile
Lachlan
Classics, English, 11+ and 13+
An Oxford Classics graduate and former Wellington College scholar with 13 A*s at GCSE, Lachlan brings empathy, patience and enthusiasm to every lesson.
Lachlan won academic and all-rounder scholarships to Wellington College, where he achieved 13 A*s at IGCSE, As in Ancient Greek, Latin and History at A-level, and the Classics Prize. He read Classics at Wadham College, Oxford, specialising in Ancient History in his final year.
During university holidays Lachlan tutored for three years across nearly all subjects from 11+ to GCSE, and volunteered as a reader at a local school. The Oxford tutorial system shaped his teaching, making it more focused and rigorous. He then trained and worked as a full-time English teacher in Barcelona, teaching adult professionals in company classes and children aged 7 to 16 at two schools, while continuing to tutor a wide range of subjects.
Lachlan’s varied experience has helped him refine his teaching style and build a broad toolkit of techniques. His approach rests on three principles: empathy, patience and enthusiasm.
