About Me

I have recently relocated from South Africa to the Netherlands.

Working to develop people in language skills and opening up new opportunities for them is a personal interest.

Having spent 15 years in an academic environment, I have developed teaching skills and expertise for various levels of learning. I have lectured different transport and logistics courses, written course material and supervised research projects up to Masters level to completion. Furthermore, I am a published author in accredited academic journals and have presented at international conferences. I am also a tutor for online courses.

In South Africa, English is often the second, third or even fourth language of many students and I had to adapt my teaching to cater for all levels of English competency. While this was especially difficult with scientific terminology, I evolved my teaching style from read and write to understand and apply.

I consider myself to be a friendly, approachable person and find it easy to engage with people. Teaching is one of my passions and beyond my full-time employment, I taught reading and writing skills at a home for orphan and destitute children. I also assisted with school projects and provided guidance, motivation and emotional support.

As a person who is also in the process of learning a new language in a new country, I can identify with the challenges and experience on a personal level.

Kevin
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.
