About Me
italki teacher since May 11, 2021InterestsScienceMusicWritingReading
Salve/Χαῖρε! I’m Lucas from Rosario, Argentina. I teach the languages I love most: Latin and Ancient Greek.
I am very introverted. My favourite hobbies are studying math, reading or listening to topics related to the ancient Greeks, science, theology, Jewish/Christian culture. I am also very skeptical of Hume's critic of miracle because, despite being a colossal nerd, I landed a girlfriend.
I can be funny or serious with my students.Me as a Teacher
I specialize in teaching Latin and Ancient Greek through the natural method, emphasizing immersion and fluency. However, unlike modern languages, my focus is not on spoken conversation for daily use—instead, I prioritize deep textual understanding and grammatical precision.
**Wondering if I’m the right tutor for you?**
If you're deciding between tutors, here’s what I offer: I explain things clearly—and in multiple ways if needed—so you *will* understand the language.
I think I do a good job at finding what are exactly your weak points *and* bring effective material to strengthen those aspects.
I’m no “expert,” but I value precision. And if I don’t know something, I won’t pretend.My lessons & teaching style
In my Latin and Ancient Greek lessons, we dive straight into adapted texts—reading, discussing, and thinking in the language itself. While I avoid translation (we speak the language as much as possible), I clarify grammar in English when needed, highlighting quirks, patterns, or key concepts. Beyond reading, I encourage active composition—writing in the language is just as important as understanding it. This method balances immersive fluency with precise understanding of grammar, perfect for students who want to be fluent and understand how (and, when possible, also why) it works.My teaching material

Lucas is very patient, knowledgeable, and kind. He teaches the content in a way that is easy to understand, and is always willing to clearly explain tricky concepts. One thing I really appreciate is that he'll always give you plenty of time to think of an answer by yourself before jumping in to help. You'll learn a lot in his classes, and you'll have a fun time while doing it!

Optimum magistrum linguae latinae eum esse puto. In schora latine colloquens, discere possum ut linguam vivam. Gratias ei ago.

I have been taking Latin with Lucas for about a year, and just recently started learning Ancient Greek. In both subjects he has been a fantastic teacher, and having taken lessons with other teachers on italki, I can definitely say he is one of the best. He takes the time to explain key concepts and gives great exercises to ensure mastery. In just two Ancient Greek lessons I already feel significantly more capable in my reading comprehension, and speaking abilities.

Lucas is a fantastic teacher. The lessons are both engaging and fun, and I come out of each with a little more confidence in my Ancient Greek.
