Learn Modern Greek with an experienced Greek teacher
From 33.22 C$ /h
Hello!
My name is Pantazis (Πανταζής) and I am a Greek Language teacher from Thessaloniki, Greece. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Greek Language and Literature from the University of Ioannina, and I am currently a graduate student in historical linguistics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. During my undergraduate studies, I carried out two internships as a Modern Greek Language teacher. I also completed a course in Modern Greek proofreading and copy-editing at the University of Athens. I have been teaching Modern Greek for the last 8 years.
My Modern Greek Language classes are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, according to which there are 6 levels of foreign language acquisition: A1 & A2 (Basic User), B1 & B2 (Independent User), and C1 & C2 (Proficient User).
In my Basic User class (beginners), I use a textbook for both A1 and A2 levels, which has useful dialogue for everyday life, grammar theory, and exercises. We read the dialogues together, I give the meaning of every word or phrase, I explain the grammar theory, and I give some homework. We can also speak a little in Greek and do some grammar and vocabulary exercises together during the lesson. There are no vocabulary lists since the words are to be learned in a given context, using also my help. The book consists of twenty chapters, four of which are review chapters.
In my Independent User class (intermediate), I use a textbook for both B1 and B2 levels, which has different kinds of texts, grammar theory, and exercises, but also a vocabulary list in each chapter. We follow the same method as above but we go deeper into the grammar and we try to speak mostly in Greek. The book is divided into twenty chapters, four of which are review chapters.
In my Proficient User Class (advanced), I use a textbook for both C1 and C2 levels, which also has different kinds of texts, grammar theory, exercises, and vocabulary lists. Again, we follow the same method as above. We emphasize less common and more exquisite Greek expressions. We also learn some words and phrases from Katharevousa (the artificial and official language of Greece until 1976). Of course, we only speak in Greek and I explain everything in Greek (or in English, if needed). The book is divided into fifteen chapters, two of which are review chapters.
I have shown you, my typical classes. In case you would like something else, feel free to suggest anything that suits you best. I am very flexible and I like adjusting my classes to my students' needs and preferences.

About Me
Hello! My name is Pantazis and I am an Ancient and Modern Greek Language teacher from Thessaloniki, Greece.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Greek Language and Literature (specialization: Classics) from the University of Ioannina, and I am currently a graduate student in historical linguistics at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I also completed a course in Modern Greek proofreading and copy-editing at the University of Athens.
I emphasized Ancient Greek in my undergraduate degree and simultaneously carried out two internships as a Modern Greek Language teacher;
1) at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, and
2) at the Hellenic Foundation for Culture in Bucharest, Romania.
I was also accepted for a third internship in the Jean Jaures University of Toulouse, France, but it was cut short due to the Covid pandemic.
For the last 8 years I’ve been teaching Modern Greek, Ancient Attic Greek and New Testament Greek.
I’d like to share with you a little bit about my teaching style.
For Modern Greek beginners typically we will study some basic grammar theory, we will read dialogues based on real life situations and I will give you some homework. For more advanced learners, we can also incorporate real texts full of interesting vocabulary, such as internet articles.
My Ancient Greek teaching focuses on grammar and reading comprehension. I use tried and true textbooks that offer grammar theory, texts and exercises.
I have also tailored extra teaching materials that I will share with you.
Aside from my teaching, I love travelling, singing and learning about other cultures and languages.
