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.

Hello, psychophiles! 👋

My name is Despoina, and I’m of Greek origin. 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 may have limited tutoring experience, but what I bring to the table is my limitless passion for psychology. My strong academic background, participation in several seminars (depression and psychotherapy, analytic group psychotherapy, somatic illnesses, etc.), as well as my internships (A21, Center for Talented Youth – CTY), have allowed me to explore psychology in greater depth and gain hands-on experience and valuable knowledge.

Are you curious about why people think, feel, and behave the way they do? Welcome to Unlocking the Mind, an engaging and thought-provoking psychology course designed for students (and not only!) eager to explore the depths of human behavior.

Psychology isn’t just a subject—it’s a window into understanding ourselves and the world around us. In this course, we’ll dive into various branches of psychology, from cognitive and behavioral to clinical and social, uncovering the fascinating mechanisms behind emotions, decision-making, memory, and personality.

But this isn’t your average lecture-style class! Expect dynamic discussions, real-world applications, and an interactive learning experience featuring educational videos, movie analyses, and thought-provoking case studies. I’ll also recommend must-read books to deepen your understanding of the field.

Whether you’re new to psychology or looking to expand your knowledge, this course will challenge your thinking and provide you with invaluable insights into the human mind. Classes will be tailored to your needs, ensuring a personalized and enriching experience.

In addition to the core topics, I’m also happy to assist with exam preparation, psychology assignments, or simply answer any questions you have about the field. If you love discussing psychology as much as I do, let’s dive into engaging conversations and explore the subject together!

Let’s explore the science of psychology together—because understanding the mind is the key to unlocking endless possibilities! 🧠📝💡✨

Hello learners :) I've been working as a Greek tutor for almost a year now, and I'm excited to launch my new project: Greek Reading class! If you already know how to read in Greek, and you just need some extra engaging and stimulating reading practice to either upgrade your level or just enhance your vocabulary and boost your confidence while reading Greek, this class is for you! In each class you'll be given the chance to practice reading though different stories, articles, book chapters etc. This class is not limited to just reading, but together we'll try to translate any written text and engage in either small and guided discussion or "choose the correct answer" type of questions. In this way, I'm aiming to boost each student's confidence regarding Greek comprehension.

Why this class is best for you?:
As a foreign language learner myself, I know that practicing reading can be a bit demanding and time consuming, due to our everyday responsibilities! But with this class is a guarantee that you'll be dedicating at least one hour per week to practice reading with low effort (material will be provided + guidance by me).

If that class speaks to you I'm more than glad to get to know you and practice reading together!

Modern Greek language is extremely beautiful but uneasy to learn - I learned it from scratch and to the C2 level of command. I also lived in Greece for eight years; so whatever your learning goals are, I will do my best to cater to your needs and craft a custom learning program to follow.

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.
