Individual lessons and tutoring in ancient Greek

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Did you choose to study Greek in college or university, but struggling to get by? Or are you passionate about Antiquity and want to learn an ancient language, but you don't know where to start? I am here to help you: I offer individual lessons (material provided by me) as well as tutoring (help with homework, revision ...) in ancient Greek for students of all levels. The approach that I propose is as serious as it is creative, and my learning methods are adapted to the needs and preferences of each one. Whether reading Homer or translating fairy tales from French to Greek, I will be happy to give you a taste for this language and the richness of ancient Greece.

I have a bachelor's and a master's degree in ancient Greek, and I have been giving lessons and tutoring in this branch since 2015.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not teach modern Greek.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am passionate about modern and ancient languages, and I want to instill the same passion in others. Focused above all on the relationship I create with my students, I adapt my teaching methods to their individual needs, and when the opportunity arises, I take pleasure in integrating their personal interests into my lessons: for example reading excerpts from Greek comedies with a teenager who wants to become an actor, or talking in German about bicycles with a cyclist. I do not hesitate to use visual or auditory aids to enrich the lesson and stimulate the interest of my students.

Special needs (autism, ADHD, dyslexia ...): I had the chance to teach several adolescents and adults with special needs, which I have always approached with seriousness and sensitivity. I gladly take into account the specific experiences, preferences and difficulties of you or your child in my lessons.

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I obtained my university bachelor's degree in ancient Greek and Mesopotamian studies in 2018, and my university master's degree in antiquity sciences with specialization in ancient Greek in 2021.

I offer tutoring (help with homework, revision, oral practice ...) in German and English, for children, adolescents and adults of all levels. The approach that I propose is as serious as it is creative, and my learning methods are adapted to the needs and preferences of each one. Whether reading Goethe or discussing movies in English, I will be happy to motivate you or your child to study these languages. English is my mother tongue, and I speak German fluently (among other things thanks to a bilingual high school diploma and a one-year exchange that I did in Munich). I have been offering tutoring in these two languages since 2010.
I am an independent tutor with extensive experience in teaching languages. I am a native French speaker, and I have completed a Masters degree in languages and history at the Faculté des Lettres of the University of Geneva (UNIGE). I offer private French lessons tailored to the student's level and needs, in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere. My methods are interactive, creative, and focused on building practical skills - so that you feel confident using and understanding French in your day-to-day life. Areas I can assist you in include: • learning basic or advanced grammar; • becoming comfortable in holding everyday conversations; • practicing your writing skills, including correct expression and spelling; • broadening your vocabulary in fields relevant to your interests (eg business, shopping, travel...); • and improving your command of various other aspects of the French language - just let me know what you want to work on! Lessons may take place at your home, at another location of your convenience, or online via Skype or Zoom.

Private lessons in Latin - Greek - ancient culture - Hebrew
If you want to learn the secrets of French, its complicated spelling, its sometimes obscure grammar, the history of its vocabulary ... do Latin (and Greek!)! Moreover, a Latin course is compulsory at the University when studying Romanesque diapers (French, Italian, Spanish, etc.), ancient history and archeology. At the same time, you will discover the foundations of our civilization which has deep roots in Antiquity. I taught Latin and Greek in secondary 1 (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.) and 2 in the cantons of Vaud and Geneva: I can help prepare for exams.

Adèle
Greek rehearsals for the first/second grades of middle school
The first years of Greek in college are often complicated. Despite its beauty, the Greek language is a real grammatical martyr if you do not base your learning on solid foundations. I am therefore here to explain to you the concepts that you struggle to grasp as well as some basics of civilization, always linked to the text.

Learn (modern) Greek for everyday use, university, tourism with FUN and passion / (ancient) Greek for school and university
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.

Latin, Ancient Greek, and Biology tutoring classes
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.

Stamatis
Teaching modern Greek and ancient Greek at all levels
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.
