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!

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.

Dulius probus et praestans magister est.

If you want to hear Latin and, likewise, learn how to respond and read in Latin, then Duilius is highly recommend. He will talk to you in Latin and, based on my experience, will only break out of it when absolutlely necessary. (In my case, that's apparently when I look lost and he needs to be sure I understand.) We use the Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata text, which is very efficient for teaching Latin.

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.
