My name is Athanasios. I am a native Greek speaker, but I have also lived in the US and UK for a significant amount of time. Living back and forth between Greece and English-speaking countries has shaped a bilingual mind in me. Engaging in linguistics, chasing after etymological roots, and pondering over the definitions of words, are what fascinate me.
I have an interest in Biblical Greek, Greek Philosophy, and having good explanatory communication that is insightful for the student is what I consider a skill of mine.
Also, I like to bring the atmosphere of the class to a relaxed and easy feeling.
Other hobbies include web designing, writing, researching, traveling, and reading.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a teacher, I find myself functioning in the role daily with people. Whether to a Greek speaker on English or vice versa, I go to deep lengths to reach the true meaning of things and convey it to people. I've also been hosting Biblical Greek studies to people for about 4 years consecutively.
So I figured I would turn passion into a joy job.
Listening to the student and meeting them at their level, is key. The teaching comes first; getting paid is secondary. If I see progress in a student, and especially if I see joy in their eyes, that's having fun for me. And I can only achieve this effect if I prioritize tailoring myself around the student.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
1. Learn the interests and needs of the student.
2. Keeping the class relaxed and the students at ease
3. Find where the student is at in their understanding of the language and begin teaching accordingly.
4. Adjust the teaching material around them, or create new ones for them - with personal additions.
5. Conversation practice will be plentiful and non-stressful. People learn when they have fun too.
6. Visual examples along with words, terms, and phrases are used to help with memorisation.
7. I use colloquial and informal words and expressions, to introduce them to what they will expect from the culture. Fitting in the culture can encourage a student a lot.

Learn the Greek Alphabet, Greek Accentuation & Practice Pronunciation
I have been taking lessons with Saki for sometime. I have between 3-6 lessons per week. I am a Greek American that has spent a lot of time in Greece but over the years, where everyone speaks English 👎 and has very little patience to help me learn. Saki is an amazing teacher (and person) and he helps me learn by teaching me to articulate what’s on my mind. Every lesson, he writes our dialogue to which I print and study. He has adapted the lessons to be practical and exactly what works for me. I highly recommend Athanasios, but if this review results in too many people booking lessons and messing with my schedules times, I’m deleting it 😂😂😂

I had 17 hours of Greek lessons with Sakis and can wholeheartedly recommend him. The lessons are motivating, varied, and challenging in the right places. Sakis is very patient and explains everything in a friendly and understandable way. What I particularly appreciate is that the lesson content and methods are tailored exactly to my personal needs. Sakis picks up on individual questions and topics from previous lessons and continues to work on them with me. The lessons offer a good mix of grammar, reading, and practicing everyday communication. He is always responsive to questions and requests. Sakis is always optimistic and cheerful, making learning feel easy and enjoyable.
I had a lot of fun so far, made progress, and am glad to have found such a great and motivating teacher! Thank you.

Sakis is an amazing tutor with an unparalleled ability to break down seemingly complex concepts and guide towards a more foundational understanding of the language. He is also able to simultaneously offer structured learning and casual conversational learning as they suite the student's needs or desires. Personally, I have found his friendly, inviting, and patient communication style to be extremely helpful in pushing through my own language barriers. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in learning Greek, regardless of their prior knowledge. :)
