About Me

Hi, I am Angelo from a little town in south of Greece, and I have been in London for 6 years now. Currently I am pursuing a PhD in clinical neuropsychology at Kingston University in London, with the aim of finishing by 2027. From my education background and personal interests, I have grown a passion for statistics concerning psychological research methods. When I am not studying I exercise regularly at the gym, play tennis, socialise with fellow academics and participate in events organised by the university, and go out on Fridays!

Education

In July 2022 I graduated from Kingston University, with a 1.1 Bachelor's in Psychology (first class). Later that year, I embarked on a PhD at the same university.

Experience / Qualifications

For the last two years I have been working as a lecturer at Kingston University, delivering workshops about research methods 1, 2, and foundations of psychology. In addition, I mark the exams and essays of my students from those modules, as well as from the Master's module 'Clinical Applications of Psychology'.
Before that, I worked as a research assistant for multiple projects concerning biological psychology.

Psychology Research Methods for A-level, and undergraduate psychology students

40 £ /h

Research Methods in psychology is a fundamental module that every undergraduate has to succeed in order to progress. It can be daunting at first but with enough practice and understanding of the theory, the module becomes easier. We will be practicing by using the two most widely used statistic software, namely, SPSS and JASP. In addition, we will learn how to find and read efficiently appropriate research articles for your research ideas, as well as learn how to write a lab report of our own. If you are an A-level student looking to pursuit a psychology degree, or a first or second year undergraduate psychology student, this course is for you!

I am a native speaker of Greek. I graduated from a Greek high school and, later, the University of Athens where I attended courses in pedagogics, psychology, and linguistics.

During our lessons, I'll help you develop your skills (oral/written, and not only). I'll also try to help you improve your pronunciation and spelling. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.

I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching Greek, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels, mainly individually.

I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face).

During my lessons I use :
- Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you,
- Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep,
- sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc.
- books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc.
- pronunciation/spelling/grammar games,
- authentic materials were taken from websites.

I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding.

What can I teach?
- I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation),
- I would love to help you prepare for state certificates such as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.
- I would love to help you with homework and assignments (literature, history) from school and university (but please contact me about that IN ADVANCE).

Regarding Ancient Greek, I can help you with commentaries/translations/grammar/syntax:
- Socrates, Plato, Aristotle,
- Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, Sappho,
- Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon.

Ancient Greek is one of the oldest languages in the world. A multitude of literary and philosophical texts have been written in this language. Later, Latin will take up many elements of the heritage of ancient Greek. Today, about 10% of the words in the French language have an ancient Greek origin. Our educational exchange aims to understand ancient Greek culture and Western European culture in general. Although it is a dead language, ancient Greek can instill values in us, broaden our horizons and even help us understand French better. At first we will study the alphabet and the general rules of word formation. With the help of mythology and texts (philosophical, literary and others), you will be able to understand basic words, phrases and expressions and get to know the world of ancient Greece. Finally, in Modern Greek, you can prepare for all levels, from A1 to C2.

Latin and Greek are beautiful but difficult languages to learn. Many students lose heart and motivation after a few bad grades. Together, we will look at where your stumbling blocks lie, and from there, I will help you move forward. I align as much as possible with your schoolwork. I also provide you with tools and strategies to learn (vocabulary) and translate better. This way, you strengthen the foundation, your results improve, and you go to class with more enjoyment and self-confidence again.
I also provide Latin and Greek exam training, including interim training for school exams.

I like keeping things easy-going and practical, rather than making every lesson feel like a traditional classroom. We focus on conversation, everyday Greek, understanding Greek culture and expressions, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, or anything else you’d like to learn or improve.

Most importantly, there’s no pressure - the Greek style! I focus on progress, I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and simply enjoying the process of learning Greek.
