Hi all! This section should describe me, but I will start studying this Fall (9/2022) and will be on vacation earlier. For this reason, I strongly suggest Σωτήρη. Σωτήρης is one of my best friends, a colleague, and really more than I can describe. He is far more knowledgeable, patient and capable of teaching than I. Shoot me a message to forward you his profile. I have let him know what each of my students looks for and their progress, too.

Me as a Teacher
What I value in people (and students) is being comfortable asking anything. Really, feel free to ask your question. Many students actually set very intriguing questions, and I appreciate their insight. I am very adaptable to one's learning preferences and needs. The happiest classes are not the ones I have with more advanced students, but the ones in which I communicate easily with the student. When it comes to learning foreign languages, my personal experience says that establishing a solid connection is the most significant part. The student should know at any time 'Why am I learning this?', 'How can I use this?' and 'why is this different from this?'.
My lessons & teaching style
I usually provide dialogues based on a real-world communicative need (e.g. buying-selling) and then extract the grammar from my student. We then go on to apply grammatical rules, learn new vocabulary by topics and memorize new stuff by speaking. This method emphasizes language as a system, but the student plays an equally important role.
What I value in people (and students) is being comfortable asking anything. I follow the general syllabus of my university and usually teach by a textbook, but I am really available to have conversation classes, as well.
Feel free to reach out for anything and take care.

Vasilis is a great teacher! He's very knowledgeable, always prepared, and - most importantly - patient. The notes he keeps during the lesson have been really useful and I can tell that my Greek is improving each week.

Vasilis continues to provide motivating material, making elements relevant to past lessons, creating a continuity of of learning. His style is not random, rather it is thoughtfully designed to help guide me along my journey. He builds upon my past accomplishments and provides material that bolsters me where my knowledge gaps are.
