Salve/Χαῖρε! I’m Lucas from Rosario, Argentina. I teach the languages I love most: Latin and Ancient Greek. My favorite 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. My goal is to form you into a literate citizen of Rome or Athens—grounded in grammar—rather than merely a clever, uneducated native. 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. 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. Bey...

Lucas is a great teacher. He is knowledgeable, personable, and patient. I have completed over 200 lessons with him, and have gone from knowing almost nothing besides vocabulary to nearly finishing Roma Aeterna. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in learning Latin.

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

Latin conversation practice with Lucas was amazing! He asked lots of questions and explained things I didn't know simply. Thanks!

I have been studying with Lucas A. for a few months now, and we're able to hold conversations in Latin like two friends catching up on life. In our first session, I could barely mutter out what my name was or where I was from, even though I had read Familia Romana and Wheelock's. Now, although I still stutter here and there, my Latin has immensely improved, and I can confidently say that I can speak it. Lucas is patient, caring, and deeply knowledgeable. He has resources, and he knows how to tailor the lesson to your needs. I look forward to the next few months of pushing my fluency to the next level.
