Personal Description:

I hold a PhD in Art and Communication with Photography as my field of specialism and a PGCE teaching certificate in Post Compulsory Education.
At the same time I am a practising photographic artist with an interest in abstract photography. I have a comprehensive understanding of contemporary photographic practices and of theoretical approaches to the subject, and also have a strong technical grounding both in traditional and in digital processes.

I am experienced in all stages of the development of photographic projects, from early conceptualisation through to printing and exhibiting.I have exhibited nationally and internationally in both solo and group shows. My selection for the Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2008 Exhibition in Liverpool and London is one highlight among them.

As an artist and teacher I insist on the highest professional standards and I emphasise clear and direct communication and honesty throughout.

I offer priva**Contact Detail Removed**ssons to photography students and any other individuals who would be interested in 'how to'/technical skills sessions or in developing a photographic body of work or in essay and dissertation writing guidance and would be in need for some expert advice.

I am passionate about photography and about teaching everybody to learn how to `see` and `think` creatively through the lens of a camera but also without it!

Dr Eva's Feedback

Total Amount Of Feedback:	11
Total Positive Feedback:	11 Av. 5.00/5.00

From Mary-Carmen (5/5): I have spent more than a year having one hour weekly remote tutoring from Eva. I was not a complete beginner but my path until then had been a mixture of going to classes and trying it on my own, and I was rather stuck. Eva was excellent at unstucking me. She systematically took me -gently- through what I thought I knew and what I definitely did not know. We covered all aspects of grammar and engaged in conversations about our interests and daily pursues, while trying to use as much of the vocabulary and grammar that I could remember.
Eva is not only a systematic teacher, but also very pleasant and an interesting person to talk to. I fully recommend her if you are trying to keep some order in your learning.

Reply from: Dr Eva:Thank you very much for your feedback Carmen! I found our lessons to be very pleasant and you did an excellent job in studying regularly every week all grammar points that needed to be revised and clarified. I hope you have trips more often to Greece so that you practise the language and I wish you all the best in your multilingual journey!

From CONSTANTINE (5/5): Eva is very precise, listens well and is attentive to individual needs.

From Jessica (5/5): Recommend highly :)

From Maria (5/5):

Reply from: Dr Eva:Thank you Maria!

From Georgia (5/5): Eva is great! Very patient and interested in helping me reach my goals in the beat way possible. Highly recommend her to anyone.

From Russell (5/5): Eva is an excellent tutor who has quickly identified my weaknesses and has tailored the lessons to focus on the areas where I need most help. I have a busy schedule and she is flexible in scheduling lessons a times which suit me.

Reply from: Dr Eva:Russel already has a very good understanding of the Greek language and with the tailored lessons focusing on filling his knowledge gaps he will progress easily to speaking more fluently without grammatical mistakes.

From Rowena (5/5): I've had a few lessons with Eva now. She's very patient and explains everything well. So far so good

Reply from: Dr Eva:We just started our lessons with Rowena who has a lot of potential to progress quickly after we establish the basics. Thank you

From James (5/5): Eva is a wonderful person. She is kind, considerate and has really progressed my learning. With every session we have, I feel more and more confident with the language. I would fully recommend her services.

Reply from: Dr Eva:James is a very motivated young student of mine who is serious about learning Greek. He learns fast and I am expecting him to make huge progress very soon.

From Gerry (5/5): Eva's approach to teaching us is both structured and flexible, following her method of introducing us to grammar and written and spoken Greek whilst incorporating our own ideas for learning. We thought we would get away with conversational Greek only but now appreciate the importance of understanding the structure of the language. So far, very pleased and challenged!

Reply from: Dr Eva:Gerry and his partner Karen are lovely to work with. They are committed to learning Greek as this is proved by their daily practice and engagement with their homework. I am looking forward to their progress!

From Bernard (5/5): Eva is an excellent teacher of Greek. She is very patient and explains the complexities of the Greek language very well.

Reply from: Dr Eva:I am delighted to be working with Bernard, as he is a very disciplined and organised student, something that helps him make a good progress!

From Katie (5/5): Eva is a fun and thorough tutor, I feel my progression will develop quickly with her help. She is definitely what I've been looking in a teacher!

Reply from: Dr Eva:Thank you very much Kate, I also feel you have already done big progress in only three sessions and I am looking forward to helping you progress even more!
