(13 reviews)

Personal Description:

I moved to Athens, Greece, when I was eight years old with my family where I attended the Local Greek schools and was fully integrated within the Greek society and culture. Therefore I am bilingual and speak, read and write Greek like a native speaker. I have over twenty years experience in teaching and it is a career that I am really passionate about. This experience and dedication to teaching makes me an outstanding teacher of Modern Greek. I have extensive experience spanning all levels of ability and age groups.

I use highly innovative methods and I am constantly keeping up to date with current teaching methodologies, including using ICT for teaching and learning purposes. I believe in catering to each student's individual needs and as a result I have a brilliant success rate with a range of students from different backgrounds and needs.

I have a BA 2.1 Hons degree in English Language and Literature, an MA in Historical Language Studies and I started doing a Ph.D in Classical Greek studies. I have done a PGCE and I am also a published poet.

Teaching Experience:

I have vast experience in teaching in many contexts. I have taught in Secondary Schools, Language Schools and in Adult Education. So, I have taught students of all age groups, ranging from 4 to late 80's, from various backgrounds and learning needs.
I have prepared students for exams with a very high success rate and I have been highly recommended to other students by people I have taught in the past.

Teaching Approach:

My course of tutorials always begin with with initial and diagnostic assessments and a conversation with the student to ensure that I know what the needs are and what is expected from the course. I create various activities and use differentiated resources that suit individual needs and requirements. I create all my own materials according to the students' needs, interests and syllabus.
