Classics for adults
I offer bespoke Classical education to adults either 1-1 or in small groups. I’m passionate about life-long learning and that everyone should have the chance to experience and discover the riches of the Classical World - its literature, history, art, philosophy.
It can feel understandably daunting to know where to start. Or to read the originals without a sense of their context - and you need that sense to appreciate the full beauty of the stories. Modern “takes” don’t and can’t come close!
So if there’s a text / author, philosophy, figure that you (and friends) have ever wanted to read or learn about, get in touch! I develop sessions around your curiosity and availability as well as your preferred pace and learning style.
