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!

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.

Self-Inquiry is a mindfulness-based healing method, ideal for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout and psychosomatic symptoms.

I love things that are simple, practical, and effective... something you should be able to explain to a 10-year-old. Self-Inquiry is a method for restoring and maintaining healthy balance — something that really should be taught in school. It is practical, straightforward, and profoundly effective.

The method is based on the principle that the signals we receive from the body are designed to guide us toward a happy, healthy, and long life. In spiritual traditions, this collection of signals is often called “the Inner Compass.”

Just like a small cut on your finger heals on its own when the right conditions are created, the body can also heal energetic, emotional, and mental blockages when we listen and support the process.

The body is constantly communicating with you — through pain, tension, pressure but also through feelings and emotions, love, inspiration, curiosity, and vitality. Even though the body is always trying to guide us toward happiness, many of us in the Western world have never learned how to listen to it or act in alignment with its signals.
So... back to basics!

From my own experience, I know how tempting it can be to search for happiness outside yourself while ignoring what the body is trying to tell you. Fifteen years ago, I ended up in a burnout — a very loud message from the body that it was time for rest and reflection.

The good news is: you don’t need to wait until things get that far.

During the sessions, you will learn:
- how to reconnect with yourself, your body, and the signals it gives you — and how to translate those signals into daily life
- how to live in alignment with your deepest truth, your personal boundaries, and your deeper longings

I will give you the tools to explore your inner world and support your own healing. And I will guide you through regular, facilitated Self-Inquiry sessions to help you deepen the process. The combination of personal practice and periodic guided sessions provides the best results.

Additional Information for Students

These are online sessions, so you will need:
- a computer or laptop with a camera
- a stable internet connection
- a notebook for taking notes
