Learn Greek with an Experienced Philologist

From 66.65 C$ /h

I am a passionate philologist with a degree from the University of Ioannina, specializing in Modern Greek Literature and Poetry. With over six years of teaching experience in Ancient Greek, Modern Greek, Homeric Epics, and Greek Poetry, and three years of experience teaching Greek as a foreign language, I offer lessons that are both engaging and effective.

In my classes, we combine structured learning with real-life conversations, cultural immersion, and creative activities. I believe that the best way to learn Greek is through interactive storytelling, exposure to Greek music, and discussions about Greek literature and poetry, including works by famous poets like C.P. Cavafy. My approach ensures that students not only acquire language skills but also develop a deeper connection to Greek culture and history.

Whether you're looking to learn Greek for travel, work, or simply out of passion, I tailor each lesson to your personal goals and learning style. I’ve also had the privilege of teaching Greek to refugees and migrants, adapting my methods to ensure inclusivity and accessibility for all learners.

Join me in an immersive, fun, and effective language journey where you will speak confidently and connect with the beauty of the Greek language.

About Me

I am a passionate philologist with a degree from the University of Ioannina, specializing in Modern Greek Literature and Poetry. With over six years of experience teaching Ancient Greek, Modern Greek, Homeric Epics, Greek Poetry, and three years of teaching Greek as a foreign language, I offer a rich and engaging approach to language learning.

I believe in creating a dynamic learning environment that blends structured lessons with cultural immersion. Learning Greek should be an experience that is not just about memorizing grammar but about engaging with the language through real-life conversations, Greek literature, and creative activities. I also incorporate Greek music, poetry, and media into my lessons to ensure that students are immersed in the language and its cultural context.

My teaching style is patient, supportive, and adaptive, catering to the individual needs of each student. Whether you're a beginner or looking to deepen your knowledge, I aim to make learning Greek both effective and enjoyable.

I have taught refugees and immigrants in Thessaloniki, tailoring my approach to suit diverse learners. This experience has further enhanced my ability to work with students from different backgrounds and learning styles.
