About Me

I was born in Budapest, Hungary and I spent most of my childhood years there, with some time also spent in the USA where part of my family lives.

At the age of 19, I moved to the UK to pursue my higher education. At age 26, I decided to leave London and move to Southeast Asia to work there as an English teacher. I spent the following 7 years mostly in Thailand - with a half-a-year detour in Nepal - teaching English at various schools and organisations.

In 2019, I decided to move back to Europe, and since then, I have started focusing more on teaching adults and delving deeper into the world of online teaching.

Besides education and English teaching, I occasionally also work as a translator, mostly in subtitle translation.

I find linguistics and language acquisition truly fascinating, and I am incredibly grateful for having had the opportunity not only to teach people from various linguistic backgrounds but also to experience it first-hand as a language learner.

Teaching is not only my profession but also my passion. I find something deeply rewarding in the process of helping people learn and via the learning process bloom and gain confidence.

I decided to become an English language teacher as a direct consequence of my experiences in my personal education and life. I understand the challenges and negative effects certain teaching methods and learning environments can have on learners, as well as the difficulties of moving to a new country and culture where one doesn't understand the language. I've personally prepared for and successfully passed the Cambridge English, IELTS and TOIEC tests, university entrance exams and countless job interviews in different countries. Throughout these experiences, I have learnt the importance of understanding one's own learning style and preferred learning methods and the value of having a good teacher to mentor and support us through our learning journey.

This class is for foreigners living in Athens, Greece, that want to learn the basics (and more) of the Greek language for various reasons like business, curiosity to explore the greek language, communicating better with loved ones etc.. You will learn how to understand, listen, read and speak this complicated yet interesting and historic language. I focus a lot on the greek pronunciation and grammar, since those are the sections most foreigners struggle with.
Along with the language, you will also learn many ancient greek words, because the modern greek language derives from the ancient greek and the grammar is closely related to it. Last but not least, you will be teached some things about the greek culture and history and if asked, you could learn about greek urban dictionary.
I started gaining experience by volunteeringly teaching it to my foreign friends and to refugees since I was 16 years old. Moreover, the fact that I took many language classes growing up ( french, japanese, spanish, english), and still do, helped me learn new patterns from my teachers and apply them in my classes.

Beyond the Basics: Intermediate English Language Skills is an EFL class designed for students who already have a solid foundation in English grammar and vocabulary and are ready to take their language skills to the next level. The class will focus on developing intermediate-level language skills through a variety of engaging activities, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

During the class, students will build on their existing grammar knowledge and expand their vocabulary to include more complex words and phrases. They will practice using these language structures in context to express themselves more effectively and accurately.

The speaking component of the class will provide students with opportunities to improve their conversational skills, such as expressing opinions, making suggestions, and engaging in debates. Students will also work on their listening skills, focusing on understanding natural English at a faster pace and in different accents.

By the end of the course, students will have developed the confidence and skills to communicate more effectively in English, allowing them to use the language in a variety of real-world situations.
