Ancient Greek is one of the oldest languages in the world. A multitude of literary and philosophical texts have been written in this language. Later, Latin will take up many elements of the heritage of ancient Greek. Today, about 10% of the words in the French language have an ancient Greek origin. Our educational exchange aims to understand ancient Greek culture and Western European culture in general. Although it is a dead language, ancient Greek can instill values in us, broaden our horizons and even help us understand French better. At first we will study the alphabet and the general rules of word formation. With the help of mythology and texts (philosophical, literary and others), you will be able to understand basic words, phrases and expressions and get to know the world of ancient Greece. Finally, in Modern Greek, you can prepare for all levels, from A1 to C2.

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
-Clear structure & personalized planning
-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!

I teach Latin and Ancient Greek through a reading-based approach that brings the languages to life. Rather than memorising rules in isolation, students build grammatical understanding and vocabulary by engaging with authentic texts — discovering how the language actually works in context. Along the way, we explore the rich cultural and historical worlds behind the words, connecting language learning with the ideas, stories, and societies that shaped the classical world.

For Italian, I focus on practical communication and real-world listening skills. Using podcasts and conversational practice alongside structured grammar resources, students gain confidence in speaking and understanding Italian as it is used in everyday life. My aim is to make language learning both effective and enjoyable, helping students progress steadily while developing a genuine connection with the language.

Modern Greek is a very interesting language, with a long history. Many Greek words can be found in foreign languages, helping you understand better your own language!

Teaching Greek online since 2021, I am aware of the difficulty of learning a new language, especially online. That's why I try to combine multiple teaching approaches and methods, focusing mainly on the communicative approach. I use all kinds of teaching material, like up-to-date manuals, songs, online tools, games, audios, movies and TV series, in order to make the lesson as engaging as possible!

Learning Greek is important because it connects you to one of the world’s oldest cultures and languages. It helps you understand history, philosophy, and science, as many English words come from Greek. It also allows deeper communication with Greek people and enhances travel experiences by appreciating traditions, literature, and local life more meaningfully.

As a Greek-Belgian educator ,I am highly qualified with a degree in French Language and Literature from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (ΕΚPA). I also hold the Sorbonne C2 certification and a formal teaching license (Eparkeia), fully recognized for professional instruction.
With many years of experience in both private tutoring and language institutes (frontistiria), I have developed a personalized teaching approach that caters to the unique needs of each student.
A highlight of my career is my collaboration with the Embassy of Belgium in Athens, where I was entrusted with the Greek language training of the Ambassador, the Consul, and high-ranking diplomats. This experience has given me deep expertise in teaching Greek as a foreign language to professionals and diplomats, focusing on both language proficiency and cultural nuance.
I am now offering online Greek or French lessons for students in Belgium, combining my academic background with my extensive practical experience to ensure fast and effective learning
