Greek classes in West Islip: Try a class for free

Hello everyone!

My name is Simos and I live in the beautiful island of Crete. I was born and raised in Athens, the capital of Greece. I have completed my Bachelor's degree in Greek Philology, specialized in Linguistics and I hold a master's degree in teaching Greek as a second language. I've recently embarked on a new chapter by commencing my Ph.D. journey. This pursuit is driven by my commitment to advancing my understanding of language acquisition and pedagogy, with the ultimate goal of contributing valuable insights to the field. Patience and calmness are my main traits, which help me in teaching. I love hiking, motorcycle rides and my brown labrador, Rocket.

I have 3 years of teaching experience with foreign students and 5 years of experience with local students. I have worked as a teacher in the Greek Counsil of Refugees, helping adult refugees to learn the language and the Greek society.  I am familiar with online platforms and tools. My master's degree has provided me essential skills for teaching, such as modern ways of teaching, e-books and lesson plans for every type of student.I like to use the communicative approach in teaching, focusing on language use. My main goal is to design the lessons according to my students needs, so they can be fun and effective at the same time.  We are going to interact with authentic texts that involve everyday subjects, such as dialogues, articles, poems and novels so we can add new vocabulary and explain grammar stractures. Greek videos and songs will be widely used to help you improve listening skills, as well as short conversations related with everyday topics. Lessons will be mainly in Greek, regardless of your level, exposing you to situations where you need to speak the language. 

Subjects like Greek history, literature, music, tradition are used during the lesson. I strongly believe those who try to learn the language, should also get in touch with the Greek culture. By doing this, students begin to understand the Greek way of thinking and develop a greater connection with the language.

Then you are in the right profile.

Hello lovely people! Are you ready to learn Greek? DefinItely something more than the usual KALIMERA, KALISPERA, MOUSSAKA? Book a trial lesson with me and see where it leads you. 

My very greek name is Stavroula! I graduated from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I have a degree in History. History and languages were my favourite subjects at school and I consider myself lucky to be able to do something I love, that is to help people learn the greek language. I grew up in Athens but life brought me to the Eternal City. In my case, the famous expression that all roads lead to Rome, was true! I've been teaching english and modern greek to italians for the last 8 to 10 years, 

As a person who likes to speak concisely,  much like the ancient greek saying : "  Το λακωνίζειν εστί φιλοσοφείν" which roughly translates to; brevity is the soul of wit, I'll not keep you any longer. 

If you have decided to learn Greek, rest assured that I'll do my very best to help and it will be my pleasure!  Speaking Greek and English is one of my favourite things, let's have fun together. 

Γεια! I'm Georgia, and I have been a full-time Greek tutor for the past 4 years.

To help you determine if I am the right tutor for you, I have answered a few things you might want to know about me:

What levels do you teach? Do you have a specialization?

I teach all levels, but I could say that I specialize in beginners since I have the most experience with students who start from scratch.

What can you teach me?

I can teach you everything that you need to know in order to achieve your individual goals:

• Reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar (don't worry, I won't give you a headache by expecting you to learn all the grammar rules by the book; there are more easy and fun ways to learn something! ), vocabulary, listening, speaking, and, of course, sharing with you my culture as a Greek.

Do you have a specific teaching style?

My teaching approach depends on my students' level and needs, but generally, I believe that learning through conversation and examples while having some fun in the process is the best way not only to learn a new language but also to love the language!

What kind of resources do you use?

I have many textbooks that target different needs (listening, grammar, etc.), and I have also created my own notes and exercises that I believe will help you understand Greek a bit better. With more advanced students, I also work with Greek songs, videos, TV shows, stand-up comedy bits, and even memes and jokes in Greek!

What should I expect from my trial lesson with you?

We will talk about your level in Greek, your experience with the language, and your future goals regarding the language. Together, we will create a plan according to your needs.

Is there anything else I should know before my lesson?

Yes! What is very important to me is that you feel relaxed during the lessons. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and trying to speak. Remember that I'm here to help you in any way I can! Just be yourself, and don't be afraid to make lots of mistakes!

Alright, I think you're the right tutor for me!

Yaaay! Let's have some fun! I hope to see you soon!

Welcome to my Greek classes! I'm Anna, a native Greek speaker originally from Corfu. I have been teaching Greek for over 25 years now, and let me tell you, it's been quite the journey! I offer lessons in modern Greek conducted in English, French, or Italian. As a TEFL-certified tutor and a member of the Tutors Association with a verified DBS certificate, I provide a safe online learning environment.

My diverse educational background is as varied as the languages I teach, including a diploma in SEN, a Dyslexia Awareness Certificate, a Certificate in Supporting Speech & Language Development in Early Years, a Teaching Assistant Diploma, a Diploma in Health & Social Care, extensive studies in language & linguistics. I have also acquired skills in areas such as Anger Management & Life Coaching, Proofreading & Editing, a degree in Fashion Design, and a degree in Office Management & Organisation. I blend traditional and modern teaching methods to provide you with the tools you need for success. Teaching is not just about grammar and vocab; it's about connecting with people and helping them reach their goals.

Your first lesson will be a friendly chat where we get to know each other and establish a personalised teaching approach. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, relaxed, fun, and supportive learning environment where mistakes are celebrated as opportunities for growth. I believe that language learning should be fun and engaging, so get ready for interactive activities, lively discussions, and plenty of laughter along the way!   

In our initial lessons, we'll focus on: Greek alphabet and pronunciation, genders of the nouns, articles, adjectives, basic greetings, and simple conversations. If you're planning a Greek holiday, I can help you with practical situations like introductions, ordering food, and asking for directions. For intermediate and advanced students, lessons will be more intense and varied.

I can't wait to meet you!

Γεια σας! Καλωσορίσατε στο προφίλ μου! Hello to everyone! Μy name is Panagiota. I am a professional online Greek teacher. I was born in Greece and Greek is my native language. I started learning English at the age of 7. So I am very fluent in English. Since my childhood, I wanted to be a teacher. So I followed my dream and I studied in Pedagogical University of Athens. Personally I am an outgoing person. I like meeting people from different countries. I have a lot of good friends from all over the world. From my degree and practical experiences, I can assure you that I understand how to teach people from different levels. I'm very dynamic in teaching.

Me as a Teacher

I graduated from the Pedagogical Kapodistrian University of Athens. In my university I had many lessons on how to maximize student’s potentials and make the lesson interesting and efficient. I also had attended seminars on Psychology and on new teaching models. I also have the Certificate of Proficiency in English from the University of Michigan. I speak fluently both of English and Greek. For the last 8 years I have been teaching Modern and Ancient Greek and until now I have successfully taught over 300 people from different walks of life.

My lessons & teaching style

In the class we will use various books - depends on the goal of the student reaching the level of fluency the students desires ranging from A1 -C2 level . We will work in all aspects of language in reading, speaking, listening and writing so the student is prepared to face any challenge in the Greek language or to acquire a certification as the Greek Certificate. We will also have homework in the classes so to strengthen and accelerate the learning process.

My name is Thanasis and Greek is my native language. I was born and raised in Greece and I graduated from the University of Athens. I have also lived and studied abroad in both Europe and Asia. I have a Master’s degree in Linguistics. I have been teaching professionally at schools and freelance since 2016. I teach adults students of all levels.

Language is not just my job but my passion, and I feel that teaching languages is what I was born to do. I am a language enthusiast and have studied several languages myself; in fact I am currently studying Hindi so I know first hand the difficulties one faces when studying a foreign language. To make things easier I try to make sure my classes are well planned and effective but also fun. I try to use a mixed method of teaching with the use of a textbook but also podcasts, short movies and audio tracks among others. From my experience most students are mostly interested in speaking so I make sure that at least half of the lesson is dedicated to that. We practice speaking through free conversation, role plays, describing pictures and other types of drills.

If you book a lesson with me, I will assess your current level and try to make sure I plan lessons customized to match your needs and requests.
