Duilius

Lessons with Duilius are very enjoyable. At first, I struggled with his diligence in speaking Latin nearly all the time. But now I think it's great: it is exciting to be hearing and speaking an ancient language. As a teacher, Duilius is patient with my slowness and helps me when necessary. He is very attentive, noticing any confusion or hesitation on my face, and following up. I'm grateful to him for teaching me this!

Dulius probus et praestans magister est.

Duilius is an excellent teacher! I have studied Latin for many years, but wanted to improve my speaking skills. We are currently reading and discussing Cicero’s De Natura Deorum in Latin. It’s both challenging and extremely rewarding!

Duilius is a great Latin teacher for me. Generally, he focuses on getting me to speak Latin during the first part of the lessons, then we reveiw the text or parts of grammar. It's amazing to hear Latin spoken so fluently and in a modern context, but he shows me how to do it.

I'm thoroughly enjoying talking with Duilius in an ancient language. I get better every time and, with his help, I am surprised at my ability to understand and readily respond in Latin. I credit him for this: our hour-long "Latin immersion" classes make it happen naturally.

I am enjoying my lessons with Duilius. He speaks almost completely in Latin the entire time, which is good for me: it challenges me to understand spoken Latin, and, more just as importantly, express myself in Latin. Also, he is very personable and patient: my halting and slow Latin doesn't seem to bother him at all. His materials are also useful. We go through slides with text for me to read and correct. This is especially effective as it exposes and corrects my faulty understanding.
