Learn Greek for Everyday Life: Beginners, Travel & Conversation
From 28 £ /h
Learning Greek because you love visiting Greece, have a Greek partner or family, or simply want to speak the language?
These friendly, practical lessons help you build the vocabulary and confidence to use Greek in everyday life. We can start with greetings, pronunciation, introductions, ordering food, shopping, asking questions, family conversations, and common expressions. If you'd like to read and write too, we'll also work on the Greek alphabet at a comfortable pace.
We will practise with short dialogues, real-life scenarios, and vocabulary chosen around your interests. You don't need to know anything before we start, and you won't be expected to memorize long grammar tables before speaking.
I'm a native Greek speaker based in the Netherlands. I can explain things in English when necessary and adjust each lesson to your starting point and goals.

Extra information
No previous Greek knowledge is required. Please tell me why you'd like to learn Greek and whether speaking, reading, or writing matters most to you. For online lessons, bring a notebook and have a microphone and internet connection. I'll suggest simple practice activities between lessons if you'd like them.

About Me
Hi, I'm Olga! I'm originally from Greece and now live in the Netherlands, where I'm raising my children in a Greek-speaking home while they grow up surrounded by Dutch.
I'm a native Greek speaker with C2-level English proficiency qualifications from Cambridge and Michigan. Professionally, I've spent more than eight years working in international marketing, SEO, and content strategy. I've also trained and mentored colleagues and developed practical learning materials, so explaining things clearly and helping others learn is something I genuinely enjoy.
My lessons are friendly, practical, and adapted to the person I'm teaching.
If you're learning English, we can work on everyday conversation, professional communication, writing, or whatever helps you feel more confident. If you're learning Greek, we can focus on speaking, understanding, reading, or connecting with Greek family and culture.
I also enjoy working with children. As a parent raising bilingual children, I know how important it is to make language learning natural and enjoyable. With younger learners, I'd use games, stories, pictures, and playful activities rather than expecting them to sit through a traditional lesson.
And for anyone interested in SEO or digital marketing, I offer practical lessons based on years of professional experience.
I like to keep things simple, encourage questions, and give people plenty of opportunities to practice. We'll start with what you already know and build from there, at a pace that works for you.

Do you understand English quite well, but hesitate when it's time to speak in a meeting, write an important email, or explain your ideas at work?
These one-to-one Business English lessons focus on the situations you actually deal with. We can practice meetings, client calls, presentations, job interviews, networking, workplace conversations, and professional emails. Instead of following a generic textbook from start to finish, we'll work with realistic examples and the things you want to get better at.
I'll help you choose clearer words, express yourself more naturally, and practice responding in real time. You can also bring an email, presentation, or scenario you'd like to work through together.

Would you like your child to start speaking Greek, or feel more comfortable using the Greek they already hear at home?
These playful, one-to-one Greek lessons are designed for children growing up in the Netherlands or elsewhere outside Greece, as well as children who are discovering Greek for the first time. The aim is to help them understand and use the language in everyday situations without making lessons feel like another hour of school.
Depending on your child's age and level, we'll learn through games, picture cards, short stories, songs, drawing, simple role-play, and lots of conversation. We can work on everyday vocabulary, pronunciation, listening, answering questions, and gradually reading or writing Greek when appropriate.
I'm a native Greek speaker and a parent raising children in the Netherlands, where Greek is part of our home life. I understand why families want children to have a relationship with the language, not just memorize words.
