About Kevin

I am currently writing a book on foreign language acquisition. I have 10 years of experience in teaching and an average rating of 5/5 on various learning platforms. German is my mother tongue, with no particular dialect. I am fluent in French as if it were a mother tongue. I am fluent in English and Portuguese and I have an advanced level of Latin and some basic knowledge of Greek. My current personal language goal is to become fluent in Latin.

About the lesson

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

A free trial lesson of 30 minutes will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

I look forward to meeting you.

After someone recommended Kevin to me I gave it a try and I did not regret it. What an amazing teacher. Once you start learning with him you can see what the difference is between an ordinary school style lesson and a lesson that adapts to the mind of the student. In the same way a friend of mine recommended Kevin to me I recommend him to you.

Kevin helped me to understand the German declension in a way that was so easy that I’m still asking myself how it is possible that I never saw this technique in school. His methods are almost like linguistic magic tricks.
