How to do Latin and Greek A levels in West country

Any clues? DD2 (currently just 15 and in yr11) is adamant she wants to do Latin and Greek A levels- all her preferred combinations all include these. The only problem is that the only place she can apparently do Greek is by staying at her current school, which she absolutely does not want to do.

Her other A level choices are any three from maths, chemistry, physics and French, all of which she can do at the College.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Where I live, students do occasionally move between schools and the college for courses so that may be something you could negotiate - but I guess it would be at the mercy of timetables, and the school agreeing. I'd say that your DD needs to think about where she is heading with that combination of subjects and get some advice on the best combination to pick.

I think the Greek will be the difficult part. Even Exeter tutorial only offer Latin and Classic Civilisation. Am surprised Exmouth CC don't offer either at A Level as they teach Latin and Greek to GCSE.

It might be worth getting in touch with Exeter tutorial school or Exmouth to see if they can recommend a tutor if that's the route you want to go down. I can't see any other option unless she drops Greek for one of her other choices.

If anybody knew of a good classics/Greek tutor in Exeter who could teach up to A level that would be brilliant!

Sorry, forgot to say we are close to Exeter.
