Modern Greek from the perspective of a native. Are you ready? Πάμε!!

Hello Linguophiles 👋✨️

My name is Despoina, I’m of Greek origin, and Greek is my mother tongue. Friends and family call me Debbie, so that’s how you’re going to call me too! 😊

I hold a degree in psychology and am a licensed professional in Greece, currently pursuing my MSc in Health Psychology!

I love learning new languages and exploring different cultures and perspectives. I have a B2 certificate in Spanish, and I’m currently learning Korean. If you’re a linguophile like me and would like to learn Modern Greek, you’re in the right place!

About the Classes:

Classes are designed for all levels, and together, we’ll cover different aspects of the Greek language, including:

📝The Greek alphabet
📝Grammar rules
📝Vocabulary

⚠️Important Note:

Since I’m not a certified Greek language teacher but a native speaker, I will teach you Modern Greek from the perspective of a native. The focus will be on speaking practice (writing can also be taught), and building vocabulary to help you understand everyday conversations and express yourself with ease. If you aim for casual learning of the language I can also assist you.

If you already have a good knowledge of Modern Greek and just want to sharpen your skills, I can help you with extra speaking practice and answer any grammar questions to improve the flow of your speech and deepen your understanding.

I am very satisfied with the attentive service and proffesionality of Despoina. I am learning a lot and my confidence is growing every day which it was my main objective when I started the private lessons.
Hello, psychophiles! 👋 My name is Despoina, and I’m of Greek origin. Friends and family call me Debbie, so that’s how you’re going to call me too! 😊 I hold a degree in psychology and am a licensed professional in Greece, currently pursuing my MSc in Health Psychology! I may have limited tutoring experience, but what I bring to the table is my limitless passion for psychology. My strong academic background, participation in several seminars (depression and psychotherapy, analytic group psychotherapy, somatic illnesses, etc.), as well as my internships (A21, Center for Talented Youth – CTY), have allowed me to explore psychology in greater depth and gain hands-on experience and valuable knowledge. Are you curious about why people think, feel, and behave the way they do? Welcome to Unlocking the Mind, an engaging and thought-provoking psychology course designed for students (and not only!) eager to explore the depths of human behavior. Psychology isn’t just a subject—it’s a window into understanding ourselves and the world around us. In this course, we’ll dive into various branches of psychology, from cognitive and behavioral to clinical and social, uncovering the fascinating mechanisms behind emotions, decision-making, memory, and personality. But this isn’t your average lecture-style class! Expect dynamic discussions, real-world applications, and an interactive learning experience featuring educational videos, movie analyses, and thought-provoking case studies. I’ll also recommend must-read books to deepen your understanding of the field. Whether you’re new to psychology or looking to expand your knowledge, this course will challenge your thinking and provide you with invaluable insights into the human mind. Classes will be tailored to your needs, ensuring a personalized and enriching experience. In addition to the core topics, I’m also happy to assist with exam preparation, psychology assignments, or simply answer any questions you have about the field. If you love discussing psychology as much as I do, let’s dive into engaging conversations and explore the subject together! Let’s explore the science of psychology together—because understanding the mind is the key to unlocking endless possibilities! 🧠📝💡✨

Online Greek Lessons tutoring for children, teenagers and adults
I am Effie. I am a Greek primary school teacher and I have been giving Greek lessons in public schools that are located in Athens for 9 years. I am a certified primary school teacher from University of Thessaly. My first Master's Degree was in Special Education and my second one in teaching Greek as a second language for refugees and migrants. I have 8 years experience in teaching Greek in Special Education and 2 years experience in teaching Greek for refugees and migrants. I have seen that is really important to adjust the learning goals on students' interests as the lesson to become more funny for them and give them opportunities to use their creativity playing roles in the class or creating a story. Digital tools also make the learning process more interactive. Often I start the lesson bringing in the class items that have to tell us a story and students take the item as a hero and they create a scenario that becomes a part of a bigger project that is linked to other subjects students have been taught at the same period. What I love about teaching Greek as a second language to people who live out of Greece is that it enables them to learn about the Greek civilization, customs and ethics that people in Greece maintain, even their crazy Mediterranean spirit they keep on a funny way creating a sense of familiarity with the place even if they have not visit Greece yet, or it could be a good opportunity for?

Greek language or Ancient Greek/ history and mythology
Greek has significantly influenced many modern languages, particularly English. A vast number of English words have Greek roots, especially in fields such as medicine, science, philosophy, and the arts. Learning Greek can help you understand the etymology of many English words and terms, enhancing your vocabulary and comprehension. For example, words like "psychology," "democracy," and "philosophy" all have Greek origins. By learning Greek, you gain the ability to read and understand both classical and modern Greek literature. Classical works by authors like Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes are best appreciated in their original form, capturing nuances and meanings that translations might miss. Additionally, modern Greek literature offers rich storytelling and contemporary insights into Greek culture and society.
