Learn ENGLISH as foreign language (EFL) in private lessons

From 21 £ /h

Learn English as a foreign language with a Greek native.
I am a Greek native licensed language teacher based in Athens, Greece and I offer private online lessons in English.
My Greek accent is not a problem, especially if you come from a Spanish background :)
Nevertheless, you can learn strategies of communicating effectively, no matter your accent!

I teach English to students of all ages and levels, using Greek or German as a base language for beginners. I also teach directly to English to intermediate or advanced students.
I focus on making the lesson as communicative as possible.

I typically suggest a graded textbook (for communicative or business purposes), but also provide the learner with handouts, in order to offer an authentic language experience. I also provide and suggest extra educational material for self-study.

I have many years of experience in teaching English to speakers of other languages, and I can help you achieve your personal and professional goals, whether you are preparing for any English level exam or you need to focus on specific professional jargon.

Learn GREEK as a second/foreign language in 1-to-1 lessons

21 £ /h

Learn Modern Greek as a second/foreign language.
I am a Greek native licensed language teacher based in Athens, Greece, and I offer private online lessons in modern Greek.

I teach modern Greek to beginners that speak English or German. I also teach directly in Greek to intermediate or advanced students, as well as beginners that live in Greece.
I focus on making the lesson as communicative as possible.
The lessons are tailored to the learner's level, goals, needs & preferences, while placing particular emphasis on developing communication skills.
The basic skills of language learning (reading, listening, writing & speaking) are equally emphasized.

Modern Greek is a difficult language to learn, nevertheless it will surely enrich your world. It takes years of dedication to master it. Learning Greek in Greece is very helpful, as it is a difficult language to learn and in Greece you can practice it directly in your daily activities.

With Greek knowledge you will be able to travel all over Greece and Cyprus while communicating with the people you meet in their mother tongue. Learning modern Greek gives you understanding in ancient Greek as well, and a lot of international words that have an ancient Greek root.

A total beginner typically needs 3-4 years of 2-hour weekly lessons to be able to communicate on an intermediate level of B1, provided that they study for at least 2 hours on their own.
Levelling up further takes more time, but it also becomes easier, as the student can learn on their own using cultural sources, such as music, podcasts, social media platforms & channels, TV and radio.
Trips to Greece and contact with people that speak the language help greatly to gain a quicker pace of learning.

I typically suggest a graded textbook (for communicative or business purposes), but also provide the learner with handouts, in order to offer an authentic language experience. I provide and suggest extra educational material for self-study.
I prepare students for a Greek language certificate (all levels) or for the Greek citizenship test that is required for the residence permit.
My language teaching is based on the EU-Standards (the CEFR guidelines for the levels), so I can prepare the learner for any language certification exams.
In addition, I guide advanced students (level C1/2 of CEFR) for the Certificate of Knowledge Adequacy for Naturalisation (PEGP) exams for the obtainment of a Greek citizenship.

I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.

I’m passionate about guiding each student along their path and providing them with the tools they need to feel confident using Spanish in real contexts.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Each lesson is fully personalized according to the student's level, objectives, and needs. My method is based on a progressive and interactive approach, in order to develop both knowledge and self-confidence.

A typical lesson begins with a discussion to identify any difficulties encountered and review previous concepts. We then work on the essential points (grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening comprehension, written and oral expression) through tailored exercises and role-playing scenarios. At the end of the session, we review progress and set objectives for the next lesson.

As an engineer, I bring a rigorous, organized, and efficient work method. I favor a supportive, attentive, and results-oriented teaching approach. My goal is not only to help my students improve their grades but also to give them the tools and methods to become more independent in their learning.

My courses are aimed at middle and high school students, as well as adults wishing to learn English regardless of their level: refresher courses, academic support, preparation for tests, the brevet or the baccalaureate, as well as students wishing to strengthen their oral fluency or consolidate their English foundations.
