I taught Latin poetry to classes of 8-10 Classics undergraduates in St Hilda's College. I was able to choose which passages to work on, and we focused on translation skills and extended literary criticism. I marked translations regularly.

I also taught beginners' ancient Greek to two undergraduate students on the four-year Classics degree course.
