I’ve been learning Greek with Thanasis for a few lessons now, and I'm really impressed with his approach. He has a direct teaching style but makes it engaging by using a variety of materials - text, images, and even audio samples - which really helps things click. Plus, he's super friendly and patient, which makes learning a lot more enjoyable. Even in just a few sessions, I feel like I’m starting to grasp the basics and how to actually use words in conversation. Definitely recommend him as a teacher!

I highly recommend Thanasis to anyone who is learning Greek. I have been trying for years to get the hang of the language and over and over again I was discouraged. Thanasis' approach is thorough and simple enough that you don't feel discouraged. Before you know it, you have confidence and are putting sentences together!
I am a language teacher myself, so I know that practice is the KEY to learning a new language. Sessions with Thanasis are just want I needed to get to jump start my journey with the Greek language. The language can be a bit intimidating, but you just have to go for it and soon enough you feel comfortable with it.

As always, Thanasis presents a thorough and comprehensive class. Our time is productive; he is not a rigid grammarian focused on correcting homework. We combine study as well as conversation about ourselves: a connection that encourages me to express myself in my intermediate Greek without feeling judged or nervous. Our weekly class together has fired my motivation to advance my Greek proficiency. Hurrah for Thanasis!

Lessons with Thanasis are always fun and put me further down the path towards my learning goals. He makes the details and structure of the language make sense! We’ve made a LOT of progress the last couple months and I’m looking forward to my growth as we continue!
