About Me

Yia sas! Hello everyone! I'm Anna, originally from Corfu, Greece. I’ve been calling England home for over 20 years now, and this has given me a deep understanding of the language, culture, and the unique atmosphere of the country. As a native Greek speaker with a passion for languages and teaching, I bring both experience and enthusiasm to our lessons. Having grown up surrounded by Greek culture and being fluent in both Greek and English, I can easily help bridge the two languages.

Although Greek may seem challenging due to its different alphabet, complex grammar, and pronunciation, it is certainly achievable with dedication and consistent practice. A common question among students is how long it will take to speak and hold a conversation, and how many lessons are needed to reach that point.
There’s no "one-size-fits-all" answer to this, as learning Greek varies by individual. Some learners may reach basic conversational skills within a few months of focused study, while others might need a year or more to get to the same level. Progress depends on factors like your learning style, previous language experience, and how much time you can dedicate to study.
Many students choose to take 2-3 lessons per week if their schedule allows, which helps maintain steady progress while balancing other commitments. Others may start with just one lesson per week and gradually increase as they gain confidence in the language. These are general guidelines, as results will vary based on personal circumstances.
Remember, learning a language is a gradual process that can include ups and downs, so it’s important to stay patient, be kind to yourself, set realistic goals, and practice consistently to keep progressing.
In my spare time, I enjoy taking walks by the river, reading a good book, watching films, cooking, and continuing to educate myself. I’m also still taking lessons in French and Italian to further my language skills.

What to Expect from a Lesson with Me:
Many people agree that the best way to learn a language is by immersing yourself in a country where it’s spoken. Since this isn’t always possible, the next best way is through interactive and engaging conversations. I believe in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable to practice and make mistakes. My lessons offer a relaxed, and supportive environment where mistakes are celebrated as part of the learning process. Learning should be enjoyable and motivating, so expect books, level-appropriate short stories, lively discussions, and plenty of laughter!
In our first session, I will assess your language level through casual conversation and work with you to create a personalized, goal-oriented approach that aligns with your objectives in Greek.
For Complete Beginners:
If you are starting from scratch, our initial lessons will focus on the basics:
• Learning to read and understand the sounds of the Greek alphabet
• Combining syllables to form words
• Using articles
• Engaging in simple greetings and conversations, gradually progressing to more complex interactions
Greek for Holidays:
If you're planning a trip to Greece, we’ll tailor lessons to prepare you for real-life situations. You'll learn how to:
• Introduce yourself in Greek
• Order your favorite food or drink
• Ask for directions, and more!
Conversational Greek:
We will focus on topics that interest you, having discussions about your favorite subjects to improve your fluency.
Greek for Advanced Speakers & Exam Preparation:
If you’re preparing for the Greek language certification exams, expect structured and intensive lessons. We will cover grammar, listening, and speaking practice. You’ll also become familiar with colloquial expressions, idioms, Greek mythology, literature, music, and more.

Learning a new language opens up a world of possibilities and opportunities. All it takes is patience and the desire to learn. So why wait? Bring onboard your enthusiasm, and let’s get started! I’d love to meet you and see if we hit it off. Looking forward to seeing you soon in my class!"

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!

Latin and Greek are beautiful but difficult languages to learn. Many students lose heart and motivation after a few bad grades. Together, we will look at where your stumbling blocks lie, and from there, I will help you move forward. I align as much as possible with your schoolwork. I also provide you with tools and strategies to learn (vocabulary) and translate better. This way, you strengthen the foundation, your results improve, and you go to class with more enjoyment and self-confidence again.
I also provide Latin and Greek exam training, including interim training for school exams.
