In these classes you will be introduced to the fundamentals of Modern Greek through developing written, oral, reading and listening skills. Learn how to converse in every day situations, write an email, or listen to the news and cultivate your appreciation of Greek culture.

My teaching philosophy centres around the premise that learning should be fun. Through encouraging a creative, interactive and engaging environment, students are motivated to explore their own individual relationships with their target language, allowing them to become confident speakers.

Let's meet and discuss your linguistic goals and aspirations. It would be my honour to help you achieve them!

(GR) Σκέφτεστε να μετακομίσετε στην Ελλάδα ή απλώς γοητεύεστε από την ελληνική γλώσσα; Τότε αυτό το μάθημα είναι για εσάς! Σε αυτά τα μαθήματα θα μυηθείτε στις βασικές αρχές της Νέας Ελληνικής με την ανάπτυξη δεξιοτήτων γραπτού, προφορικού, ανάγνωσης και ακρόασης. Μάθετε πώς να συνομιλείτε σε καθημερινές καταστάσεις, να γράφετε ένα email ή να ακούτε τις ειδήσεις και να καλλιεργήσετε την εκτίμησή σας για τον ελληνικό πολιτισμό.

Η διδακτική μου φιλοσοφία επικεντρώνεται στην αρχή ότι η μάθηση οφείλει να είναι διασκεδαστική. Μέσω της ενθάρρυνσης ενός δημιουργικού, διαδραστικού και ελκυστικού περιβάλλοντος, οι μαθητές παρακινούνται να εξερευνήσουν τις ατομικές τους σχέσεις με τη γλώσσα-στόχο τους, επιτρέποντάς τους να γίνουν ομιλητές με αυτοπεποίθηση.

Ανυπομονώ να σας γνωρίσω και να συζητήσουμε τους γλωσσικούς σας στόχους και φιλοδοξίες. Θα ήταν τιμή μου να σας βοηθήσω να τα πετύχετε!

I am a professional Greek language tutor from Greece, specializing in practical Greek for travelers, expats, and adults who want to communicate confidently in real-life situations.
My lessons are designed for learners who don’t want just grammar — they want to use Greek naturally: ordering food, asking for directions, socializing, handling everyday situations, and feeling comfortable while traveling or living in Greece.

What makes my lessons different

-Each student follows a tailored syllabus based on their goals (travel, short stays, frequent visits, or relocation).
-Focus on speaking from day one
-You will actively speak Greek in every lesson, even as a beginner.
-Practical vocabulary & real-life scenarios (Airports, hotels, cafés, shops, transportation, emergencies, and social interactions.)
-Simple explanations, no confusion
-Grammar is explained clearly
-Supportive and professional teaching style
-Calm, organized, and motivating — ideal for adult learners.

Teaching background
I combine academic studies with hands-on teaching experience:
-Teaching Greek as a foreign language online to international students and at a Private School
-Ongoing professional development through educational seminars and training

If your goal is to travel to Greece and actually use the language with confidence, I will guide you step by step with a clear plan and practical focus.

I understand how many students think and why they get stuck, while teachers often struggle with this.
I can therefore convey complex material in a personal way, using examples, visualizations, comparisons, etc.

I often hear after an explanation:
- Oooooh, now I get it!
- Why doesn't the teacher just say this?
- That actually makes sense, yes...

My way of teaching is purely aimed at helping with things that are difficult or unclear.
We sit down and I ask, "What do you need to know for the test?" Then I'm assigned a few theory blocks, and we quickly figure out where things are going wrong, and I make sure it's clear.

A lesson usually lasts until all the material is understood. If that's too much, we usually stop after 1 or 1.5 hours, or when we run out of energy.

I believe that everyone has the potential to master a new language. Don't give up, even if it seems difficult at first! Many things become much easier when explained a little differently. I myself am passionate about languages and am happy to help if something seems a bit challenging.
My native languages are both Greek and German, so I grew up bilingual and have spoken Greek since I was little.
I always place great emphasis on individual needs so that we can get the best possible results!

Course description: Learn Greek with structure, creativity and joy!
Do you want to learn Greek, but are intimidated by the complicated grammar? In my lessons, I'll show you that the path to learning Greek is logical, creative, and above all, achievable!
What does my teaching look like?
My approach is communicative and student-centered. Thanks to my studies in theatre studies at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, we use techniques that go beyond traditional memorization. We work intensively on:
Practical communication: We talk from the very first hour so that you can act confidently on vacation or in everyday life.
Pronunciation & Melody: Greek is a musical language. Together we will perfect your accent.
Structured Grammar: As a holder of the Goethe-Zertifikat C2, I explain Greek grammar to you by comparing it to German. This way you will understand the "why" behind the rules much faster.
What to expect:
Individual course design: Whether you are a beginner or advanced, we follow your pace.
Diverse material: We work with texts, dialogues, songs and current media reports.
Cultural context: As a native speaker, I will teach you not only the language, but also the mentality and traditions of Greece.
About me:
With five years of experience teaching German, I know exactly where native German speakers usually stumble. My goal is to take away your fear of making mistakes and create a relaxed learning atmosphere where you feel comfortable.
Let's immerse ourselves together in the fascinating world of Greek! I'm looking forward to our first lesson together.
