About Me

I am a primary school teacher with 8 years of experience in Greece's private and public schools. I am also a qualified special education teacher, having worked with several children over all these years. Being passionate about my work, I immerse myself in children's personalities, understanding their needs and interests, and finally help them realize their full potential. Resourceful and communicative, I always seek innovative ways to convey knowledge to children. I can help students to think "out of the box" with specific exercises and puzzles.

Είμαι δασκάλα γενικής και ειδικής αγωγής εδώ και 8 χρόνια. Έχω δουλέψει σε δημόσια και ιδιωτικά σχολεία στην Αθήνα, Θεσσαλονίκη, Σέρρες και στην Καλαμάτα. Κάνω ιδιαίτερα μαθήματα σε παιδιά δημοτικού ήδη 10 χρόνια. Αγαπάω πολύ την δουλειά μου, γιατί μαθαίνω κι εγώ πολλά από τα παιδιά!
Έχω συνεργαστεί με πολλά παιδιά όλα αυτά τα χρόνια. Διακρίνω τις ανάγκες του κάθε μαθητή και δουλεύω μέσω της ενθάρρυνσης, της ενίσχυσης με στοχευμένες ασκήσεις και κατάλληλο εκπαιδευτικό υλικό για να κατανοήσουν και να αφομοιώσουν την νέα γνώση. Μου αρέσει να βοηθάω τους μαθητές μου να σκέφτονται κι "έξω από το κουτί".

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!

Learn to READ with Mr. Andrew!

Level 1 is for students with little or no English experience. My students learn naturally through stories, songs and poetry. In Level 1, I teach the ABCs, with emphasis on the sounds of the letters, as well as some basic sight words.

Classes are daily (Monday to Friday) and each class is 40 minutes long. I wrote the stories and poems myself to teach my own kids to read and have been using them to help hundreds of other students in these group classes for over five years.

This class starts on August 31, 2026.

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.

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.
