About Me

I am Niki.

Born in Athens, Greece I was the fortunate recipient of a classic French education. I went to a French speaking primary school and later on I decided to study the French Language and Literature at the University of Athens. When I completed my Bachelor, I went to France and followed a Master in Translation. I lived in Strasbourg for 2 years, where I experienced the French culture and civilization first hand.

My passion was always to deal with languages. After some years of translating and teaching, I decided to learn Swedish, which I did with a great enthusiasm. Went to continue my studies in Sweden, where I worked also in a summer school for three summers.

I speak fluently 4 languages: Greek (native language), French, English, Swedish and I have had significant exposure to many other languages and linguistic fields.
I also took to Dutch at which point I clearly understood the challenges of adult language learning.

I had dreamt of teaching with a clear and compelling vision: to change kids’ and adults' lives by making high-quality language education widely available; and to contribute in the long-term to language sciences.
I feel blessed with capacities to transmit my knowledge. There is nothing I enjoy more than its human, cultural and linguistic diversity, and its mission.

I look forward to meeting you!
Niki

Hello Linguophiles 👋✨️

My name is Despoina, I’m of Greek origin, and Greek is my mother tongue. Friends and family call me Debbie, so that’s how you’re going to call me too! 😊

I hold a degree in psychology and am a licensed professional in Greece, currently pursuing my MSc in Health Psychology!

I love learning new languages and exploring different cultures and perspectives. I have a B2 certificate in Spanish, and I’m currently learning Korean. If you’re a linguophile like me and would like to learn Modern Greek, you’re in the right place!

About the Classes:

Classes are designed for all levels, and together, we’ll cover different aspects of the Greek language, including:

📝The Greek alphabet
📝Grammar rules
📝Vocabulary

⚠️Important Note:

Since I’m not a certified Greek language teacher but a native speaker, I will teach you Modern Greek from the perspective of a native. The focus will be on speaking practice (writing can also be taught), and building vocabulary to help you understand everyday conversations and express yourself with ease. If you aim for casual learning of the language I can also assist you.

If you already have a good knowledge of Modern Greek and just want to sharpen your skills, I can help you with extra speaking practice and answer any grammar questions to improve the flow of your speech and deepen your understanding.

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!

Course description: Learn Greek with structure, creativity and joy!
Do you want to learn Greek, but are intimidated by the complicated grammar? In my lessons, I'll show you that the path to learning Greek is logical, creative, and above all, achievable!
What does my teaching look like?
My approach is communicative and student-centered. Thanks to my studies in theatre studies at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, we use techniques that go beyond traditional memorization. We work intensively on:
Practical communication: We talk from the very first hour so that you can act confidently on vacation or in everyday life.
Pronunciation & Melody: Greek is a musical language. Together we will perfect your accent.
Structured Grammar: As a holder of the Goethe-Zertifikat C2, I explain Greek grammar to you by comparing it to German. This way you will understand the "why" behind the rules much faster.
What to expect:
Individual course design: Whether you are a beginner or advanced, we follow your pace.
Diverse material: We work with texts, dialogues, songs and current media reports.
Cultural context: As a native speaker, I will teach you not only the language, but also the mentality and traditions of Greece.
About me:
With five years of experience teaching German, I know exactly where native German speakers usually stumble. My goal is to take away your fear of making mistakes and create a relaxed learning atmosphere where you feel comfortable.
Let's immerse ourselves together in the fascinating world of Greek! I'm looking forward to our first lesson together.
