Καλημέρα! I’m a certified tutor of Modern Greek language: 15 years of experience in teaching Greek as a Second/Foreign Language (Α1-Α2, Β1-Β2, Γ1-Γ2).

As a linguaphile from early childhood, I was always passionate about learning and teaching languages.

I have graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting (Ionian University, Greece). I’m also a holder of a Master Degree in Social Sciences (University of Glasgow, UK) and various post-graduate certificates in Teaching Greek as a Second/Foreign Language. My MSc. thesis with topic «The increasing role of bilingualism in modern society: bilingual education» was successfully presented in the International Virtual Forum - «Geo-Cultural: Smart Technologies In Education And Society» and «Geo-Cultural Space: Smart-Technologies In Education and Social Environment» (July 2017).

I prepare students for the state exam of Ellinomatheia (Ελληνομάθεια), which is recognized worldwide as the official certification of Greek language proficiency.

My class integrates traditional and innovative teaching methods and techniques:
1. Communicative language teaching (CLT)

2. Task-based language teaching (TBLT)

3. Content and language integrated learning (CLIL)

4. Cooperative Language Learning (CLL)

5. The Direct Method

6. Grammar-Translation

7. Total Physical Response

8. The Natural approach

I am a patient and organized individual who is able to assess a student's strengths and weaknesses and create an effective lesson plan to help them reach their goals. Furthermore, lessons can take place through videocall in any preferred platform (Zoom, Teams, Skype, etc.).
