Hello everyone! I am an experienced, qualified English teacher from the UK. I speak Spanish to intermediate level, and a little Greek and Arabic. I have a first class bachelors degree in English Literature and Sociology from The University of Leeds in the UK.

I have experience teaching all levels from children as young as 5 years old to proficiency level students. I have taught many different exam boards including IELTS, Cambridge, Trinity and Michigan so I can prepare you for your exams.

My lessons are tailor made for my students. In the initial classes we can discuss your weak areas and I can assess what grammatical or pronunciation areas we need to work on.

Most importantly, my classes are fun and inspiring. I can come to your house, or you may come to mine if you live in Thessaloniki area. In addition, I do online classes.

About Me
I'm not your average teacher. I have taught people from around the world and the joy and reward of watching people learn and grow in English inspire me to teach. I don't want to give you a stranded "textbook" class, I want you to have fun, to laugh, and to enjoy the learning experience because this will make it memorable! I use a multitude of different platforms to teach; including videos, music, games, and long-term projects that all help to consolidate your language learning.
I look forward to meeting you either online or in-person!

Join my SAT Prep Class for comprehensive instruction designed to elevate your exam performance. With personalized guidance tailored to your learning style, you'll master critical reading, grammar, and test-taking strategies crucial for success. Learn to dissect complex passages, analyze writing structures, and identify key concepts. Engaging lessons and interactive practice sessions will strengthen your comprehension skills, grammar proficiency, and time management techniques. By the end of the class, you'll feel confident and well-prepared to excel in the SAT English exam, unlocking opportunities for future academic success.

Preparing for the SAT can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to do it all by yourself. That's where I come in. As an SAT tutor, I am dedicated to offering top-notch teaching along with genuine care and support. My ultimate goal is to help you (or your child) achieve your dreams and academic ambitions. Right from the beginning, you’ll get to know the test format, the digital interface, question types, tested skills, and timing intimately.

With so many resources out there, it's easy to get lost. I simplify this by providing you with the best materials from the College Board, mirroring the actual SAT content and difficulty. I handpick the finest resources, practice tests, study guides, and video tutorials to ensure you build a solid foundation in the key content areas: Craft and Structure, Information and Ideas, Standard English Conventions, and Expression of Ideas.

I understand that each student is unique, which is why I offer personalized guidance to identify strengths and areas for improvement. Through regular practice and timed tests using Blue Book, along with detailed feedback, I can pinpoint exactly where you need the most help. This targeted approach makes the most of your study time, focusing on the areas that will boost your score the most.

I help students develop effective strategies for tackling the test. You'll learn how to read dense passages actively, spot key words and shifts in meaning, identify main ideas, analyze arguments, and recognize tone and rhetorical devices. For vocabulary questions, I’ll provide high-frequency vocabulary lists and teach you how to use context clues. My guidance on punctuation and essential grammar rules will solidify your understanding of grammar and syntax.

Time management is critical for SAT success. I'll show you how to budget your time wisely, so you stay calm and efficient when facing diverse and challenging questions.

Staying motivated and disciplined during months of preparation can be tough, but you won’t be alone. We'll set clear, achievable goals and celebrate each milestone, keeping you encouraged and excited about your progress. With dedication and strategic planning, I'll help you overcome any obstacles and reach the SAT score you're aiming for.

Together, we pave the way for future success, making the SAT preparation journey both effective and enjoyable. With my guidance, you navigate the challenges of SAT prep with confidence and efficiency. I’m here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you unleash your full potential and achieve your academic goals, securing a place at your dream college.
