About Me

Interest topicMusicSports & FitnessTravel
I am Theano, a 35 years old professional teacher living in the old town of Thessaloniki in Northern Greece.
Throughout my life, apart from teaching, I’ve been a queer activist & human rights advocate, active within collectives and in non-governmental organisations.
I am also a self-taught musician, playing traditional musical instruments. I am always passionate about experiencing new cultures especially through traditional music from all over the world.
Having lived in Germany and Spain, and now having a life partner in the international humanitarian sector, I often find myself traveling, a great way to expand on my understanding of different life experiences.
Me as a Teacher
I have been a professional teacher of Greek Language since 2006 while I was still attending bachelor studies in Greek Philology.
I started teaching Greek as a second/foreign language in 2014 working as a volunteer with LGBTQi+ refugee/ migrant communities in Thessaloniki and since then I have been teaching Greek online to adults who live in Greece & abroad.
Fast forward, I continued teaching migrants and refugees, both children and adults, through my work in the NGO sector.
I am a certified member of the Evaluators of the examinations for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek Language and I hold a Diploma in teaching Greek as a second/foreign language.
My lessons & teaching style
I will enthusiastically explore with you your individual learning style in order to tailor the class to your needs.
I am eager to adapt and offer the class via different means and methods for example task based learning, specialized online platforms, educational online games and of course formally, offering specialized material and books in pdf form focused on teaching Greek to foreigners.
Depending on your needs we can work on:
-Communication and oral skills and pronunciation
-Greek language structure (grammar/ syntax etc.)
-Greek for business or professionals
-Greek for expats and Greek Diaspora
-Exams preparation for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek Language

Sensitive, efficient, highly communicative and organized. If you want to learn Greek or improve your Greek (as I do) Theano is the teacher to choose!

Theano is a great tutor with clear explanations, very patient, considerate and calm. I've been looking for the right tutor for quite some time and finally think Theano is the right one. Thank you!

I had my first Greek lesson with Theano today. Despite my being at a very beginner level, she was very helpful and worked with me to craft the most appropriate way to get started. Looking forward to meeting with her again.
