Martinus legentibus salutem. I'm Marcin (better known as MARTINUS), I come from Poland and I'm a fluent Latin speaker. I studied classics at the Jagellonian University in Cracow and at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, where I earned my PhD in linguistics. For many years I have been organizing Summer Schools of (Living) Latin and Greek in Poznan and other cities in Poland. My scientific interests focus especially on Martial, the Priapus poems, Latin literature written by Polish authors and methods of teaching foreign languages.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have over 17 years of experience in teaching Latin. I have given private lessons, taught at primary school, secondary school and university.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I support modern methods of teaching Latin, so I teach Latin in Latin.
Classes with Martinus are always informative and enjoyable. He explains everything very well whenever I have a question, he's patient and thorough, and he offers helpful tips about how to remember things I consistently forget. He has great enthusiasm for the subject, which brings it alive and makes everything more enjoyable, in addition to helping with my comprehension and being able to take unfamiliar words or usages in context and internalise the language. Having free talk on whatever subjects pop up is also incredibly helpful, and Martinus is very patient and encouraging when I'm struggling to say things that are out of reach for me, and always helps me find the most natural and correct way to phrase things, and explains the different senses of saying things in different ways.

Another great lesson with Martinus. I still feel my Latin improving with Martinus every session and it has been fun to see my improvement: I happened to have an exam that involved scansion and it was funny to see how learning to speak Latin with vowel lengths enabled me to extremely rapidly scan 20 lines of text at perhaps 500% speed compared to my prior speed.

In every lesson, Martinus is flexible and adapts the material to my level and interests. He sends extra material which he thinks will be useful and interesting. He's very generous, patient, and accommodating.

Another excellent lesson with Martinus! Today, we practiced constructing future tense sentences by describing scenes from various comics. His engaging teaching style and clear explanations made the lesson both enjoyable and educational.

Another good lesson with Martinus about chapter XIII of LLPSI I. He certainly knows a lot of antiquity trivia which is always fun to be taught about in Latin. In addition, he spoke quite a lot during this lesson but at the end said next lesson he'll think of different questions so as to enable me to speak more, which does show he thinks about his lessons a lot which is great.
