About Me
Native Greek speaker from Athens & professional language e-learning instructor (MA in Language Education & Technology from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki). I also hold a BA Hons in Spanish Language & Literature from University of Pavia, Italy & possess excellent knowledge of both Italian and English (CPE in English). 17 years of teaching experience in foreign language schools in Athens. Looking for students wishing to learn either Greek, Spanish or Italian from a qualified language enthusiast. All teaching levels are offered. Join my class!!
Certified oral examiner of DELE (Spanish) by Instituto Cervantes. Specific digital material and colourful e-books for exam preparation for both Greek & Spanish.
A little about me:
My teaching method is mainly student-centered and tailored to your needs so please send me a message with your level and your goals so that I can prepare the appropriate material. I intend to motivate my students for setting long-term learning goals so as to achieve an effective language learning! Having worked as a Greek teacher for foreigners as well as a Spanish & Italian teacher for Greek students in Athens, I can easily adapt my teaching style to your specific needs by applying the ultimate educational theories for successful language learning. Best quality for video lessons, served with fiber 100MBps.
PLEASE NOTE THAT MY PRICE INCLUDES EXTENSIVE FEEDBACK AND HOMEWORK CORRECTIONS!!!
-I have lived and worked for 7 years in the Italian city of Pavia, Northern Italy and one year in Santander, Spain.
I love engaging my students with topics of everyday life situations and those would vary according to your specific needs. Moreover, the materials used are full-colour interactive e-books that are pleasant to the learner and which alternate with grammar books for providing a more thorough knowledge of the language. When teaching I apply the experiential learning method which exposes the student directly to the language. The grammar rules are explained inductively, through concrete examples. I usually give homework assignments as I consider them indispensable for your progress. Though, if your goal is mainly communicative we may choose to work exclusively during our lessons.
-I can also offer you precious (non-mainstream) tourist advice in case you are traveling to Athens! Contact me even if you are an absolute beginner!!!
P.S. I am available evening and morning hours, under arrangement. Flexible schedule. Feel free to contact me and arrange a lesson at your convenience!
