À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 22 Jul 2020Sujets d'intérêtArtVoyagesMusiqueHistoireLecture
From 1985 to 2006 I taught Hellenic subjects such as Ancient Greek language, philosophy, literature, and mythology. I started the first craft brewery in Saskatchewan (1995). In 2016, I taught communication theory for the College of Engineering. I am also a student of languages; Italian, Czech, Latin, German, Irish, and modern Greek. I know the challenges of learning languages! My approach to teaching adapts to my students. I will make suggestions and offer different approaches. I always start a class with conversation.
Hobbies: chess (expert level 2100), making bread & cooking generally, making soap (not soup), roasting coffee. I raised bees, horses, cats, dogs, and fish.

Expérience professionnelle

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.

I was initially hoping to practice for the speaking section of my test, but he gave me some basic tips to really improve my English skills. He was very knowledgeable and patient to listen to my problems and learning methods first, which I really appreciate.

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!
