About Me

Hello guys !!๐Ÿ˜€ Let me start by sharing some general information about myself ...I am Lefkey-Whitney and I am a native speaker of English and Greek. I was born in Boston, USA, but you will find me settled in beautiful Greece now. I have been teaching for the past 10 years, both adults and kids in tutoring classes or one to one. I am of the belief that people should enjoy what they are doing in order to learn it, so I try to add as much interaction as possible, on topics which interest my students. I believe I have succeeded as a tutor when I see my students enjoy what they are doing and send me messages or call me in order to inform me that they understood a movie without reading subtitles or taking part in an English conversation with others and not facing a problem. That's all for now, you can pm me for more questions or book a trial. See you in class !! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

I had an amazing session with Lefkey today. She is so attentive and smart. I've never met such a thoughtful teacher, who helps me anytime I need. Thanks to Lefkey, I've really expanded my vocabulary, improved my grammar and pronunciation, learned a lot of interesting things which I wanted to know. Look forward to seeing her again!
