Theano encourages me to speak even if I'm not sure of the words I need. She corrects gently and gives excellant explanations for how phrases go together and shows clearly the verb structure and other grammatical requirements. She is patient and enthusiastic and pushes me gently to improve. My speaking confidence has gone up and I look forward to our lessons.

Theano is an extremely capable and experienced teacher and a lovely personality to work with. I can feel my brain growing with every session. She has a broad variety of materials she teaches from and an engaging teaching style. Theano rules!

It's been a real pleasure having this 5-lessina course of προφορική ελληνικά with Theano! although my Greek is still very much awkward, she helped me a lot, we had fun and even shared personal stories! I really recommend her to other students ❤️🇬🇷🙏
