Welcome to Tab Classics
On this site, you will find information about my resources for the teaching and study of Latin and Greek at GCSE and A Level.
I offer running vocabularies designed to be exceptionally useful for both students and teachers of Latin and Greek, as well as computer programs that help build grammar and vocabulary in a modern, engaging way, while retaining an old-fashioned thoroughness.
Both the running vocabularies and the programs are used in many schools, including around three-quarters of the fifty schools with the highest A Level results. They may also be particularly helpful for private study.
You can download example running vocabularies and try sample programs directly from this site.
If you are interested in any of my products and would like to place an order, please click here to contact me.
If you have a question, comment or suggestion about any of the resources, or if you are interested in personal tutoring, please click here to get in touch.

Having used Terry Bird’s running vocabularies as both student and teacher I can testify to their usefulness in building up pupils’ confidence and fluency in translation. They are especially valuable when used with set texts.
