Hello! I'm Duilius, your dedicated teacher committed to transforming the study of Latin into a fascinating and dynamic adventure. My passion for the classical world, cultivated at the renowned Vivarium Novum Academy – celebrated for its immersive approach – forms the foundation of my teaching method.
While rigorous grammar is crucial, we won't just memorize rules in isolation. We'll dynamically integrate grammar into the active use of Latin – speaking, reading, and interaction – ensuring it’s learned through practical application and becomes relevant.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Immersive Specialization: I honed my skills directly at Vivarium Novum, where I experienced the unique environment of learning and teaching classical languages as living tongues.
Solid Academic Foundations: I hold a degree in Classical and Christian Letters, with specific research on the interpretation of Virgil, enriching my understanding of Latin culture and literature.
Proven Experience: I have guided numerous students to discover Latin not as a static subject, but as a vibrant, living tool for communication, using active and engaging methods.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I firmly believe Latin should be accessible, stimulating, and rewarding. Therefore, my approach is:
- Student-Centered: Every lesson is tailored to your specific goals, interests, and learning style.
- Immersive and Communicative: I actively use Latin during lessons to help you "think" in the language, making learning more natural and effective.
- Beyond Language: You won't just learn Latin; you'll uncover the richness of classical literature, history, and culture that has shaped our world.
Whether you're an absolute beginner or looking to refine your skills, I am here to guide you on a customized learning path.
Please Note: I teach students aged 18 and over.

Duilius is an excellent teacher! I was already at a later beginner or early intermediate level when I started with him, but I can tell that I'll be able to go very far with him. He is really - what can I say? - "excellent" just keeps coming to mind. He is totally clearn inhis speaking, and rephrase things if I don't get it the first time, and is very easy-going and stress-free. Perhaps I shouldn't say how good he is because he'll get so many students that I won't be able to study with him anymore! But he has my highest recommendation.

optimus magister est Duilius. His command of Latin is thorough and his knowledge of antiquity is impressive. He is willing to share this knowledge with you patiently and using the best method available to us to learn Latin (the direct method). There are few tutors that can teach you as well as he can. I've learned a lot from him in a short time.

Duilius is great if you want to get a strictly Latin teaching experience. He will communicate almost exclusively in Latin. But don't be deterred: he will make it very simple for you in the beginning. You'll still have to mentally work during the lesson (pay attention, listen to his use of conjugations and declinations), but he facilitates understanding with nonverbals (e.g., gestures, demonstrating with hands, facial expresssions, tone, etc.). Moreover, it encourages YOU to express yourself in Latin. For instance, he may ask you a question and prompt you with the answer (of course, in Latin). Then, you're speaking Latin (even if simplified). Next, he'll ask a question and you'll have to recall the Latin term to answer. Finally, you're able to think and speak in simplified Latin. From there, your fluency grows. So, yes, do it: schedule a lesson with him today.
