Greek Reading Class: Practice reading through engaging material prepared with love from a native Greek tutor :)
course price icon
From 23 £ /h
arrow icon
Hello learners :) I've been working as a Greek tutor for almost a year now, and I'm excited to launch my new project: Greek Reading class! If you already know how to read in Greek, and you just need some extra engaging and stimulating reading practice to either upgrade your level or just enhance your vocabulary and boost your confidence while reading Greek, this class is for you! In each class you'll be given the chance to practice reading though different stories, articles, book chapters etc. This class is not limited to just reading, but together we'll try to translate any written text and engage in either small and guided discussion or "choose the correct answer" type of questions. In this way, I'm aiming to boost each student's confidence regarding Greek comprehension.

Why this class is best for you?:
As a foreign language learner myself, I know that practicing reading can be a bit demanding and time consuming, due to our everyday responsibilities! But with this class is a guarantee that you'll be dedicating at least one hour per week to practice reading with low effort (material will be provided + guidance by me).

If that class speaks to you I'm more than glad to get to know you and practice reading together!
Extra information
Bring a huge smile :)

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! 🧠📝💡✨

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.

Arabic becomes much easier when speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary are developed as connected skills rather than taught as isolated rules.

I am a native Arabic speaker, PhD-qualified engineer, university professor, researcher, and multidisciplinary tutor with more than 30 years of experience in teaching, training, mentoring, academic work, and personalized learning.

This class is designed for children, teenagers, university students, professionals, heritage learners, and adult learners who want to build a clear and confident command of Arabic. Lessons can be taught in Arabic, English, or French, allowing explanations to be adapted to the learner’s linguistic background and level.

Depending on your objectives, we can focus on one specific pathway or combine several skills into a structured learning program.

• Personalized progression for learners raised outside the Arab world

My teaching approach follows a clear progression:
understand → hear → pronounce → read → use → write → analyze → communicate independently

I do not teach Arabic as a disconnected collection of vocabulary lists and grammar rules. I connect language structure to meaningful texts, conversation, writing, and real communication. Depending on the learner’s age and level, lessons may include guided dialogues, fully vocalized texts, visual explanations, reading passages, grammar analysis, structured exercises, dictation, storytelling, writing tasks, and personalized practice.

We can work with your school curriculum, university course, textbook, reading difficulties, grammar questions, writing samples, professional objectives, heritage-language needs, or personal learning goals.

Whether you are learning your first Arabic letters, improving conversation, strengthening reading, mastering grammar, developing academic writing, or reconnecting with Arabic as a heritage language, I will adapt the sessions to your level, objectives, pace, and preferred learning style.

My goal is to help you understand Arabic as a living, structured, and expressive language—and to use it with increasing accuracy, confidence, and independence.

• Building confidence in writing
• Expanding vocabulary beyond everyday family communication
• Developing formal and academic Arabic
• Personalized progression for learners raised outside the Arab world

My teaching approach follows a clear progression:
understand → hear → pronounce → read → use → write → analyze → communicate independently

I do not teach Arabic as a disconnected collection of vocabulary lists and grammar rules. I connect language structure to meaningful texts, conversation, writing, and real communication. Depending on the learner’s age and level, lessons may include guided dialogues, fully vocalized texts, visual explanations, reading passages, grammar analysis, structured exercises, dictation, storytelling, writing tasks, and personalized practice.

We can work with your school curriculum, university course, textbook, reading difficulties, grammar questions, writing samples, professional objectives, heritage-language needs, or personal learning goals.

Whether you are learning your first Arabic letters, improving conversation, strengthening reading, mastering grammar, developing academic writing, or reconnecting with Arabic as a heritage language, I will adapt the sessions to your level, objectives, pace, and preferred learning style.

My goal is to help you understand Arabic as a living, structured, and expressive language—and to use it with increasing accuracy, confidence, and independence.

I am Imran, 18 years old and a student in 5 VWO (with a completed HAVO diploma). Over the past two years, I have gained experience as a peer coach for lower secondary students, guiding them in science subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Additionally, I provide Cito training to primary school students from the age of 7, and I have experience giving private lessons at home.

Whether it concerns extra practice for the Cito test in primary school, or help with science subjects in the lower years of secondary school, I explain calmly and step by step, and align with the level and subject matter of your own school.
