Hello everyone!!

My name is Simos and I live in the beautiful island of Crete. I am 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. Patience and calmness are my main traits, which help me in teaching. I love hiking, motorcycle rides and my brown labrador, Rocket.

I have 2 years of teaching experience with foreign students and 5 years 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.

1. 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.
2. Greek videos and songs will be widely used to help you improve listening skills, as well as short conversations related with everyday topics.
3. Lessons will be mainly in Greek, regardless of your level, exposing you to situations where you need to speak the language.
4. Finally, tasks that involve writing will be assigned for homework, such as forming small sentences, fill in the blanks but also writing letters and essays in Greek.

Subjects like Greek history, literature, music, tradition are used during the lesson and for homework. I strongly believe that 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.

Are you looking for a teacher with passion for the Greek language, able to adapt to your learning needs?

I can help you achieve your goals whether that is with systematic traditional style learning or with contemporary methods like a conversation. In any case, I am here to teach you this beautiful language in the best way that I know how! With trial lessons, there is nothing to lose! Let me help you speak but mostly understand the Greek language. Also, I am trying to learn new languages, so I can definitely relate to you. At the end of the day, I am 19 which means that I can talk about anything. Come have a trial lesson and we'll have a chat! 

About me- I study at an American college in my hometown and I have been speaking English for about 14 years. I am bilingual as I am half Greek and half Serbian but English was always the language I felt most comfortable with. I am into sports, music, and politics. I have been told I have an opinion about everything so we will definitely make some good conversation(in Greek of course lol).

My name is Marina, and I am an enthusiastic Greek language teacher! I have graduated from the Faculty of Philology of the University of Athens (Greece), and I hold a MA in Linguistics. I have successfully completed many programmes, seminars and workshops concerning Greek as a second/foreign language as well as editing/correcting texts.

I have been teaching Greek online for many years, while at the same time I work as an editor/corrector of magazines and books for a Greek publisher. In the past, I have also worked voluntarily as a Greek language teacher for adult immigrants.

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.

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.

Hello! My name is Erofili and I teach modern Greek.

Ι’m a native speaker and I have more than ten years of teaching experience. I teach children, teenagers and adults.

I have a Bachelor’s in English Language and a post-graduate degree in teaching methodology.

I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and speak a little bit of Italian.

I have travelled extensively, lived and taught in Italy and Spain so I’m quite familiar with different cultures and learning styles.

When I teach a lesson I take into consideration two factors: Students’ needs and their interests.

At the end of the class I want my students to have improved in their learning, to have enjoyed the class, to feel confident about themselves and motivated to continue learning.

Whether I teach a four year old child or an adult, whether my students want to learn Greek just for fun, to travel or to take an exam, I always tailor the lesson to their needs and give the best of myself.

I provide my students with extra photocopiable material and notes that I prepare just for them. I use photocopies, flashcards, games, real life material (articles, songs, videos e.t.c.) and send them internet links that can enhance their learning. I also give them extra homework in case they want to study the language by themselves and correct it offline.

I like being creative, innovative and using communicative, student-oriented methods.

If you have any question, please don't hesitate to contact me or book a free trial lesson so we can discuss your needs and learning objectives.

Hello everyone, 

My name is Anna, and I am a native Greek speaker with fifteen years of tutoring experience! Originally from Corfu, London has been my home for nearly twenty years.

I am a TEFL-certified tutor  and my other studies include a degree in Fashion Design, Office Management & Organisation, Diploma in Health and Social Care (Open University UK), Teaching Assistant Diploma, Anger Management & Life Coaching Diploma, and Proofreading & Editing Diploma.

My way of teaching is relaxed, friendly, and conversational; I always work with my students and tailor our lessons to their needs. During our first lesson, I will assess your language level through a friendly chit-chat and we will establish a personalised and goal-oriented teaching method.  

Complete beginners

The initial Greek lessons will focus on the basics; I will teach you how to:

• Read, and understand the sounds of the Greek alphabet and combine syllables to formulate words
• Recognise the genders of the articles, nouns, adjectives etc.
• Greet in Greek. “Kalimera”.
• Have simple conversations, but as we go on, they’ll become more complicated: “Γειά σου, τι κάνεις;” (Geia sou, ti kaneis;)

Greek for holidays 

You may want to learn just enough for your Greek summer break. We will have lessons based on real-life situations such as “how to introduce yourself in Greek”, “order your favourite food or drink”, “ask for directions,”  etc.  

Conversational Greek for intermediate / upper-intermediate level students

Let's explore your favourite topic and talk about your interests!

When you learn a new language, there is a whole world of possibilities and opportunities; all it takes is patience and the will to learn.
