What is Study Classics?

Study Classics is the effective learning resource for students taking Latin and Classical Greek at Common Entrance, GCSE, A-Level and on. Our revision guides provide the information needed to help you obtain top grades.

Study Classics is the only source of revision guides for Latin and Greek at GCSE and A-level. These cover all the parts of the OCR specifications such as language, grammar and set text.

GCSE and A-level exams are particularly stressful periods of time for students, but at Study Classics our aim is to lessen the stress with effective and focused guides. No other revision tool is solely based around Latin and Classical Greek. This means other guides tend to lack fundamental areas of the course or are made for tutors and teachers but not the students. Latin and Greek are normally subjects overlooked because of their more exclusive and niche character. Study Classics aim to inspire more to take up Classics as a subject with accessible educational resources or for those who already take the subjects to help them achieve their dream grade.

Who we are

Study Classics is a revision tool made by a former student of the material and a friend of mine, who is a website designer. I sat both Latin and Greek GCSE and A-Level at my school. However, I relied heavily on private tutoring and extra tuition.  Especially at A-Level I needed extra support which simply was not offered by my school. Frustrated with the lack of online resources and accessible tools I decided to create Study Classics with the help of a friend.

In my Christmas A-Level mocks I received a D in my Greek and C in my Latin. This was extremely shocking for me as I had just received an offer for AAA from Oxford. Distraught, I decided I needed to drastically change what I was doing and figure out how to achieve that offer of AAA. This was not simple and extremely gruelling and I wish for no one to go through the confusion and unnecessary grind I had to, to achieve my Oxbridge offer.

In the end, I achieved an A* in Latin and an A in Greek. I managed to improve by 3 grades in each subject with extreme amounts of hard-work. This may seem miraculous to some and an impossibility to those predicted the same as I was in Christmas, but with Study Classic’s guides I hope to make Latin and Greek enjoyable, straight-forward, rewarding subjects. Which, with the right support they can be!

That’s why our goal at Study Classics is so personal and meaningful to me, as the founder, since I found myself struggling to enjoy a subject I knew I loved.

I want to provide tips, tricks and smart revision tools for students to ace their exams with confidence. The worst thing at school was being told I couldn’t do it and couldn’t achieve. If I can do it then you can too!
