About Maxwell
Oxford-educated Classics, Greek, and Latin tutor with a decade of teaching experience. Every student is different, and I tailor my teaching to the needs of each individual, giving them the support and encouragement they need to achieve their own goals and ambitions. I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do is ignite a genuine enthusiasm for their subject that will help students to develop into independent learners capable of flourishing on their own. I read Egyptology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at University College, Oxford, followed by a Master’s in Classics with Distinction from the University of Edinburgh, and a further Master’s in Classics from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. I hold a PhD in Classics from the University of St Andrews. I also have a DBS certificate. Outside tutoring, I work as an academic researcher at the University of Edinburgh.

1. I help secondary-school students with essays, personal statements, academic writing, and preparation for university entrance exams. 2. I help university students with writing and refining their academic CVs, cover letters for academic jobs, and postdoc applications. 3. I also offer top-level proofreading and editing services for non-native-speaking academics for draft articles, chapters, and conference papers. Regarding essays and dissertations, my focus is very strongly on plans and structure. I will help you organise your ideas in different parts and subparts, and will advise on approach, clarity, and development of ideas. I offer two main services: 1 - online sessions to discuss your ideas, how to structure your plan and organise your thoughts, and what you want to say. 2 - proofreading, editing and comments, which I will work on in my own time (and charge per hour of work). The comments will focus on structure (should paragraphs be moved around, do you need headings to help you organise your ideas, does a point fit better in another section etc.) and clarity (what exact approach are you taking, do you need to define a key term, have you given enough examples, is your argument well-explained etc.) Some need both options, and others only one of the two. It's completely up to you!

I have known Max for five years or more, first during his time at St Andrews working on his PhD, and then as examiner for his PhD thesis. Max is an outstanding researcher and an excellent teacher who thinks really hard about how to tailor his teaching to individual students. He has a huge amount of teaching experience – he has tutored extensively at the University of St Andrews and at a range of other universities in the UK and beyond – and a very wide range of expertise: he can teach among other things in Latin and Greek language, ancient history and classical civilization, Middle Egyptian language and literature and ancient Egyptian history. Jason König, School of Classics, University of St Andrews
I worked with Maxwell at the University of St Andrews, where we were both tutors, and where Maxwell taught Greek, Latin, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and ancient history. His teaching style is engaging and accessible, and I admired his ability to break down complex linguistic concepts and convey them simply and clearly to beginners in Greek and Latin. His handouts and teaching materials were of an excellent standard, and his previous students have won PhD scholarships at top universities in the US and the UK. Maxwell is an experienced and skilled teacher, and I recommend him very highly.
Dr. Giuseppe Eugenio Rallo, University of St AndrewsI have worked with Maxwell for several years and shared plenty of time with him. His work ethics are outstanding. It is an instructor you can trust. In addition, he always knows the subject matter in depth.
Having worked with Maxwell for five years at the University of St Andrews and the University of Pisa, I can say that he is one of the most capable and kindest of colleagues that I have ever worked with. Maxwell taught Greek, Latin, and ancient history to undergraduate students at St Andrews, where his subject knowledge and engaging teaching style demonstrated a great passion for the discipline. While at St Andrews, Maxwell received the honour of Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy for his services to the teaching of Greek and Latin in the department. With his thorough knowledge of Classics and his remarkable command of Greek and Latin language and literature, there is no more effective tutor for anyone seeking to learn more about the classical world.
