Information About Evgenia - Sheffield teacher

Personal Description:

I am a Greek native speaker. I worked as a teacher of Greek Language and Literature at The English School, Nicosia - a historic, prestigious secondary school in Cyprus - from 2006 – August 2022.

I have taught Greek as a second/foreign language at different levels, as well as Greek as a first language from KS3 to IGCSE and A-Level. I am very well familiar with the Pearson Edexcel Qualifications, since I have been teaching and marking these qualifications for 16 years.

I hold a Master’s degree in ‘Greek Language and Literature’ and a Bachelor’s degree in ‘Classical Studies and Philosophy’.

I love teaching because I believe in progress and change.
