Personal Description:

I was born and raised in Athens, so Greek is my native language. I was an excellent student during my education in Greece and in high school I followed theoretical studies, focusing on the study of ancient and modern Greek. I started learning English when I was 7 years old and have lived across the UK in the past, while currently, I live in Scotland. This has made me fluent in English and I can confidently say that I have a great understanding of both Greek and English.

Teaching Experience:

In the past, I have worked as an English teacher for 3 years, teaching English as a foreign language to young and adult learners in Greece. I have worked with students of all ages and levels and have successfully aided them in advancing in their studies of the English language.
I have been teaching Modern Greek since 2018. Some of my students wanted to learn Greek for their work, while others were just interested in the language. I have received very positive feedback from all of my students so far.

Teaching Approach:

When it comes to teaching, I believe that the most important thing is to take into account the wishes and needs of the student. Everyone has a different approach to learning and I try to respect that and follow teaching techniques that are interesting and educational for my students. During the lesson, I communicate in the target language as much as possible, in order to familiarize the student with the phenomena of each language and resort to the student's native language only for explaining things that the student might have difficulty with. For each lesson, I try to create new activities, designed specifically for the level and needs of each student, in order to target the aspects of the language that the student needs to practice on.

From Katy (5/5): Álkisti has been so helpful in building my confidence with the Greek language. She provides homework tasks that are engaging and fun and personalises additional materials if you ask for them.
She’s also a very approachable and helpful tutor. Definitely recommend!

From Susan (5/5): Alkisti has been my Greek teacher for a couple of months now. She is really excellent. Her teaching skills are superb. Her English and knowledge of English grammar is better than mine! This is really helpful as she can describe the similarities and differences between Greek and English grammar. She explains things really clearly and uses a variety of teaching methods and exercises to keep the lessons really interesting and to help me learn. When I started the lessons I had only basic speaking skills in Greek and my reading and writing skills and understanding of grammar was limited. However since starting the lessons my reading and writing skills as well as verbal skills have improved significantly together with my understanding of grammar. After each lesson, Alkisti helpfully records and sends me the new vocabulary that we cover and a variety of homework exercises. She is also really patient and explains and clarifies anything that I am finding difficult. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alkisti to anyone wishing to learn or improve their Greek.

From Kristy (5/5): Alkisti has been brilliant at helping me to learn Greek. She is very friendly and helpful and is very organised and prepares lots of activities for me to do to practise.

From Amalia (5/5): I have really enjoyed my weekly Greek lessons with Alkisti. She is very friendly, patient, organised and makes me feel at ease, especially when it comes to communicating in Greek. Since having lessons with her, I feel that my vocabulary and speaking skills have significantly improved. She always prepares interesting articles for the lessons with plenty of opportunity for discussion. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for fun, interesting Greek lessons!

From Jacquie (5/5): Alkisti is an excellent teacher and creates a good rapport for learning - very warm, encouraging and attentive. Our online sessions are individually tailored for my particular learning needs and Alkisti provides an interesting mix of learning materials which has helped with my Greek enormously, including consolidating grammar and vocabulary. I'm really enjoying our lessons together but also am noticing a lot of progress. Would highly recommend.

From Keith (5/5): I have had Greek lessons for the past two months and I would say that Alkisti is an excellent teacher.
Her lessons are engaging and interesting and a variety of teaching methods are employed, which ensures my interest is maintained at all times.
Alkisti is a native speaker of the language and her learning materials and explanations are really good - meaning that I have progressed a lot in a short space of time.

From Lee (5/5): Alkisti is an amazing tutor. I only know English and want to learn Greek. I've learned so much already. She is patient, on time, reliable and well prepared. Brings printed sheets every time that you can keep and look over afterwards. I'd definitely recommend having her as your tutor.
