Personal Description:

I am a Greek native speaker coming originally from the beautiful island of Crete. I have been living in England for the last 18 years and I have been teaching privately for the last 10 years. I hold a PhD in Art and Communication and a PGCE teaching certificate in Post Compulsory Education. These qualifications provided me with a very good command of the English Language. I am very capable of playing between Greek and English and can help English speakers have a wonderful experience of my native language.
I welcome all to explore the magic of Greek language and discover a huge variety of English words that come from a Greek root.

From Marilyn (5/5): Eva is an excellent teacher. and accommodates my personal preferences brilliantly. She encourages me to work hard and stretch myself whilst also recognising the demands of other aspects of life. Eva is sympathetic to the way I learn and the combination of structured, directed learning with some scope for a little creativity works well for me. Eva's tips for strengthening skills outside the lessons are also very useful and the insights she provides into Greek (and Cretan) language and culture are invaluable. Above all, the lessons are fun and help to keep me motivated. Ευχαριστώ πολύ, Ενα.

Reply from: Eva: You are very welcome Marilyn!
Marilyn, is a pleasure to work with. She is the ideal learner, very dedicated to studying Greek regularly every week and very committed to making progress.
We are working together on her needs and very often she takes initiatives as to the kind of homework she would like to do in order for her to happily play with the Greek language. I am always happy to facilitate her needs as fas as I believe her study suggestions will contribute to her progress.
I am really looking forward to seeing her progressing more and more and establishing a long and trusty tutor-tutee relationship.
Thank you too Marilyn!

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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!

Kate Calthorpe

Reply from: 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!
