Hello! My name is Pelagia, and I currently live in Amsterdam, though I am originally from Athens, Greece.

I am a certified and experienced Greek language teacher with over 10 years of teaching in both Greece and the Netherlands. My teaching experience spans a wide range of students, from beginners to advanced learners, in both classroom settings and private lessons. Over the years, I have developed and implemented modern teaching methods, with a strong focus on gamification and innovative teaching approaches to make language learning not only effective but also enjoyable and engaging.

My methodology emphasizes the development of communicative skills while strengthening grammar and vocabulary through creative and interactive techniques. I utilize a variety of educational tools, including interactive exercises, games, and modern technologies, to help students achieve their learning goals effectively.

In addition to teaching the Greek language, I offer lessons in Greek history, using carefully curated educational videos to bring ancient Greek history to life and deepen students' understanding of its rich cultural heritage.

Let's embark on an exciting journey to master the Greek language together!

If-

BY RUDYARD KIPLING

(‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

I completed the IB DP with a consistent 7/ high 6 in Higher Level History, and this has always been one of my favorite subjects. I am very good at this subject and have somewhat of a passion for it. I have a very good grasp of what is expected from the IB students as pertains to this subject, and I know the ins and outs of the criteria and the weird and wonderful little ways in which the IB expects the students to perform. I am able to help with any course work, homework, assignments, or assessments. As pertains to the DP students, I also did my EE on a History topic so I can assist there if need be. I am also a tutor in English and as comprehensive writing and legibility is a large part of what is expected from IB History students, I can offer particular insight into how to best write and get arguments across.

We offer Dutch language courses in Marrakech throughout the year, both in group lessons and individual lessons. The purpose of these language lessons is to prepare the student(s) as well as possible for the basic civic integration exam.

This makes it possible to provide students throughout Morocco with a Dutch integration course. We also provide a 100% success guarantee for our online integration courses.

The Civic Integration Exam consists of three exam components.

The candidate can choose to take all three exam components simultaneously on the same day. Separate from each other is also possible. The three parts are therefore independent of each other. Therefore, if you do not pass one of the three exam components, you do not have to retake the entire exam and you can retake the separate component separately.

The three integration exam components are taken on a computer, also pay attention to this during the integration course.

- KNS (knowledge of Dutch society)
- Read
- To speak

In addition to giving language lessons up to A1 level, we also provide information and lessons about Dutch society. On the basis of a photo book, the students receive exactly the information and knowledge they need to pass the KNS component.

Speak with Precision, Understand with Depth: The Linguist’s Approach to Italian

Why settle for simply learning Italian when you can learn it with the insight of a linguistic expert? My unique lessons combine the practical goal of achieving native-level fluency with the intellectual depth of linguistic theory.

As both an Italian language and Linguistics specialist, I don't just teach you what to say, I teach you the underlying principles of why it is said that way. This accelerated approach allows you to master complex grammar and vocabulary faster and retain it longer, building a truly flexible and powerful command of the language.

You will master: Elegant Italian communication; sophisticated analysis of texts and discourse; and the ability to leverage linguistic principles to make language learning efficient, enjoyable, and profound.

Hi,

Ik heb ruime ervaring met het geven van bijles en het begeleiden van leerlingen bij verschillende organisaties. In de afgelopen jaren heb ik gewerkt met leerlingen van uiteenlopende niveaus, waarbij ik heb gemerkt dat ik veel energie haal uit het uitleggen van lesstof en het vergroten van zelfvertrouwen bij leerlingen.

Mijn interesse en passie liggen vooral bij de vakken geschiedenis, aardrijkskunde en maatschappijleer/burgerschap. Ik vind het belangrijk om deze vakken niet alleen inhoudelijk duidelijk uit te leggen, maar ook te laten zien hoe ze aansluiten bij de actualiteit en de belevingswereld van leerlingen. Daarbij besteed ik veel aandacht aan structuur, overzicht en het aanleren van effectieve leerstrategieën.

Op dit moment volg ik de master Bestuurskunde aan de Universiteit Leiden. Deze opleiding sluit goed aan bij mijn interesse in politiek, bestuur en maatschappelijke vraagstukken en versterkt mijn vakinhoudelijke kennis, die ik ook inzet tijdens mijn bijlessen.

Mijn manier van begeleiden is rustig, geduldig en persoonlijk. Ik neem de tijd om te achterhalen waar een leerling tegenaan loopt en pas mijn uitleg daarop aan. Het doel is niet alleen betere resultaten, maar ook meer zelfvertrouwen en motivatie.

I can provide excellent support and tutoring, but I don't necessarily specialize in academic subjects. However, by thoroughly reviewing the schoolwork, I always manage to provide students with effective support and good results.

In primary and secondary school, I had many friends who struggled with specific subjects, which I didn't. It also happened the other way around. It was great to be able to help each other with this. When that wasn't possible, we received tutoring from a great coach, and this helped us all pass our exams.

School can be frustrating, overwhelming, and overwhelming. Having the right person to help you through this and provide guidance can reduce a lot of stress. Besides tutoring, I'm also a Psychology student and could help with planning, fear of failure, ADD/ADHD, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!
