關於我
於 2020年7月22日 成為 italki 教師趣味主題歷史閱讀旅行
Hi everyone! I am Steve. From 1985 to 2006 I taught Hellenic subjects such as ancient Greek language, philosophy, literature, and mythology. In 2006 started a decade of life in the business world running the first craft brewery in Saskatchewan. In 2016, I returned to my academic life teaching professional communication for the College of Engineering. I am also a student of languages; although Italian is my current focus, I have studied German, Czech, Irish, and modern Greek as well. I know the challenges of learning languages! Hobbies: chess (expert level 2100), making bread & cooking generally, making soap (not soup), roasting coffee. I raise bees, horses, cats, dogs, and fish.我的教學經歷
I am relaxed as a teacher and open to your needs. If you want a conversation with suggestions about a more natural structure, I can do that. If you would like structured lessons, I can organize readings and grammatical exercises. I like to think of grammar as the rules of the game, but these rules cannot be understood in isolation. You need to apply them to topics that interest you. The vocabulary that you build needs to be relevant to your life, and grammar follows. I strongly encourage extensive reading.我的課程內容與教學風格
Informal: let's chat and work on conversational style.
Formal: we can work through organized lessons concerning grammatical points. We can focus on written projects such as formal letters, resumes, essays, and reports.我的教材

工作經驗
1985 - 1991
InstructorI started teaching ancient Greek and Latin, carefully walking students through some tricky grammatical pitfalls.
1993 - 2006
Instructor/ LecturerI was teaching ancient Greek. My sympathetic approach, and awareness of the challenges of grammar, allowed me to coax students through first-year classes all the way to the third-year level. One of my students obtained a Ph.D. in Greek poetry. The effort was all hers, but the inspiration started with me.
1995 - 2019
President/BrewmasterThis brewery gave me experience in the business and banking world. I was able to raise $2.5M, and negotiate my way around provincial regulations.
2016 - 2020
LecturerThe course of Rhetorical Communication (RCM 300) is designed for students who are seeking professional degrees. Professional written English is different from casual spoken English, and much of our class time is spent polishing and refining writing skills. Perhaps 1/3 of the course focuses on improving their spoken English and making professional presentations.
2017 - 2019
instructorI taught primarily English language skills to college students.

Sally is greedy for everything related to Greek mythology, and Steve gives her even more! From legends to paintings, sculptures to architecture, everything is presented in his carefully prepared presentation. A whole hour immersed in human civilization, it's simply magnificent!

Mr Cavan is the best teacher I’ve ever seen! He is a humorous and witty person. So there’s a lot of fun in our class which I enjoyed. He inspires me not only by teaching but also the positive attitude towards life and all things, every time when I finished our class was like a cleansing of my soul, I am a lucky guy to have him!
