We are fortunate to have a number of talented individuals working with us during selected schoolrooms. Our team over the years included academics, postgraduate and undergraduate students mainly from the University of Reading as well as from the universities of Oxford and Roehampton. The knowledge and experience of these dedicated pool of people allows us to deliver high quality teaching and to bring a wide variety of authentic ancient exercises to your school.
