J'ai effectué un master en philologie classique à l'ULB, ce comprenant l'agrégation pédagogique.
Je désire aider les élèves à découvrir l'une ou l'autre langue ancienne, à approfondir ses connaissances, à palier certaines "lacunes".
Ainsi, les leçons sont assez libres : elles suivent exclusivement les besoins et envies de l'élève ou, à défaut, le programme scolaire adapté à l'année d'étude.
Nous pouvons explorer la grammaire et le vocabulaire au travers d'exercices purs comme de textes, proposés ou non par l'élève.

Enfin, les leçons se veulent les plus participatives possibles ; j'accompagne l'élève dans son cheminement et lui apprends les clefs pour continuer à avancer.

Les cours peuvent se faire sur place comme à distance, selon des horaires assez flexibles.

Let's start by declensions and so on. We'll discover the verbal tenses and how is a phrase done. You don't know the slight aspects unless have studied how Ancient Greek's verbs work, or the Ancient Indian.
So, if we can translate texts (at first easier ones, the the original), we could reach anywhere in the vast world around the Roman Empire. Latin is the basis for the Romance languages. And Greek is more usual between us than you could imagine (Medicine, over all).

You could structure your mind as the ancient did! They are the "little box" where you can put in whatever you want. It also provides a manner to live and to work in order to know the essential tasks and the rest.

My name is Serdane and I offer ancient language courses to secondary school students who may have difficulty developing a working method that suits them. Extroverted and bubbly...and above all, a lot of humor!

Everyone learns in their own way. This is why I do not adopt a rigid method, but rather I adapt to the specificities of each student. I assess their level, their strengths, any weaknesses or delays, and I adjust my course accordingly. My priority is to restore the student's confidence: Latin and Greek are accessible to everyone when they are well explained!

I believe in the effectiveness of active teaching methods: I encourage maximum student participation, guiding them to discover what works best for them. This allows him to continue his learning independently.

Finally, I provide specific help for the preparation of questions or exams in more complex subjects.

My price includes full tutoring (private lessons, possibility of asking questions outside of class hours, assistance with writing and correcting questions, etc.).

I am a native speaker of Greek. I graduated from a Greek high school and, later, the University of Athens where I attended courses in pedagogics, psychology, and linguistics.

During our lessons, I'll help you develop your skills (oral/written, and not only). I'll also try to help you improve your pronunciation and spelling. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.

I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching Greek, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels, mainly individually.

I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face).

During my lessons I use :
- Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you,
- Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep,
- sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc.
- books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc.
- pronunciation/spelling/grammar games,
- authentic materials were taken from websites.

I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding.

What can I teach?
- I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation),
- I would love to help you prepare for state certificates such as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.
- I would love to help you with homework and assignments (literature, history) from school and university (but please contact me about that IN ADVANCE).

Regarding Ancient Greek, I can help you with commentaries/translations/grammar/syntax:
- Socrates, Plato, Aristotle,
- Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, Sappho,
- Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon.

An introduction to the basic syntactic and grammatical phenomena of the ancient Greek language. We use texts from the ancient Greek Literature (Ancient Greek History, Tragedies and Myths) as well as the Bible or Byzantine Hymnology in order to better understand the structure and way of thinking of the Greek language. The course is addressed to anyone who either has or doesn't have a knowledge of the Greek language. It is built as a personalized course, based on each student's level, motivation and learning needs.

Enseignante diplômée d'un master en langues anciennes, je pratique le grec ancien depuis le collège.

Je propose un cours adapté à votre niveau ou à celui de votre enfant, de l'initiation (déchiffrement de l'alphabet grec, cours de base sur la grammaire grecque, le système de déclinaisons et l'accentuation) au niveau intermédiaire (exercices de traduction de textes, apprentissage de vocabulaire, mémorisation de points de grammaire précis).
J'aime allier l'apprentissage à la pratique, et mettrai donc l'étudiant face à des textes dès le départ, pour appréhender l'exercice de traduction dans son ensemble et en comprendre l'aspect ludique et plaisant.

Résumé :
- initiation à l'alphabet
- initiation à la grammaire
- exercices pratiques
- aide à la mémorisation (vocabulaire, règles de grammaire)
- préparation aux épreuves de baccalauréat
- préparation aux examens de niveau L1 à L3 (partiels, concours des Banques d'Epreuves Littéraires)
- exercices de version grecque niveau collège à agrégation
- exercices de thème grec (initiation)

I have several years of experience tutoring students of different age groups in Latin and Ancient Greek. I am deeply passionate about these languages and I enjoy helping students improving at them.
I believe that understanding the structure of a sentence is fundamental when approaching these languages, therefore this is an important focus for me. During the class I always dedicate some time to reasoning and translating sentences together with the student.

I have a BS in pharmaceutical biotechnology and I am currently a master student in Medicine. I find biology very fascinating and I have been tutoring it for years now. Depending on the topic and the student's needs, I structure the lessons differently. I usually explain the topic and use tools such as spaced repetition, notes, conceptual maps to make sure that the student has understood.

Greek has significantly influenced many modern languages, particularly English. A vast number of English words have Greek roots, especially in fields such as medicine, science, philosophy, and the arts. Learning Greek can help you understand the etymology of many English words and terms, enhancing your vocabulary and comprehension. For example, words like "psychology," "democracy," and "philosophy" all have Greek origins.
By learning Greek, you gain the ability to read and understand both classical and modern Greek literature. Classical works by authors like Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes are best appreciated in their original form, capturing nuances and meanings that translations might miss. Additionally, modern Greek literature offers rich storytelling and contemporary insights into Greek culture and society.

A LIVING METHOD
Whether you are a beginner or more advanced, I will help you progress in Latin or ancient Greek, which you will learn as a living language: it will not be primarily a question of translating Latin or Greek, but above all of speaking it, reading it, writing it!

FORGET YOUR DICTIONARY
By doing so, you will memorize vocabulary and grammatical structures much more easily than with the classic method based essentially on translation. You will no longer spend your life in the dictionary, and eventually, you will read your favorite authors like an open book!

LATIN
I essentially offer a living Latin course based on the Orberg method, acclaimed by thousands of Latinists around the world. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced, I can accompany you on the chapters corresponding to your level of Familia Romana (first volume) or Roma Aeterna (second volume). It is therefore important that you get this book.

If you want to work on Familia Romana, I also highly recommend that you purchase the Vivarium Novum workbook to consolidate your learning: volume I for chapters I to XIX, volume II for chapters XX to XXXIV.

GREEK
For Greek, we will use the Logos method. It will be up to the student to obtain a copy of this manual.

A LA CARTE COURSES
However, I am attentive to pupils and students who are waiting for more conventional methods, particularly in the context of preparing for the baccalaureate, the competitive examinations for the grandes écoles, or even the agrégation. Version, theme, explanation of an old text: all these exercises are well known to me for having practiced them for many years.

It is also possible to build a course based on your desires (excluding erotic texts and magic manuals). Do you want to follow one method rather than another? Discover a particular author? Tell me! Be careful, however, to remain realistic! We do not tackle Xenophon or Titus Livius without a solid level.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any request.

NB: I do not offer translation services, and even less for tattoos. Thank you for your understanding.

Passé rapidement le cap de l'apprentissage de l'alphabet, l'élève est plongé directement dans des textes d'auteurs peu difficiles pour acquérir progressivement les bases (déclinaisons et conjugaisons, syntaxe). Si le cours demande de la rigueur, son caractère plaisant est assuré par la nature des textes proposés, et par les illustrations qui l'accompagnent.
Je suis agrégé de Lettres cllassiques.

Whether you are thinking of moving to Greece and want to prepare for everyday life there, or you are simply fascinated by the Greek language and its rich history and want to learn it, this is the perfect opportunity to start lessons with me. If you want to progress quickly through the material in order to take exams for a certification or for other personal reasons, the lessons can be structured to include some study at home. We will decide this together, based on your goals and pace.

Discover the beauty of the Greek language in fun, engaging lessons tailored to your level and goals. I adapt all teaching materials to fit each student’s profile, so all you need is your computer!

The lessons are designed to ensure that learning happens during the session itself, with no homework required—unless we decide together to include it for faster progress towards certifications or personal goals. This way, studying Greek becomes enjoyable and stress-free, without interfering with your daily routine or feeling like an obligation.

Speak, write, and understand Greek confidently while exploring its rich culture. Let’s make learning Greek exciting and unforgettable!
