PROFESSIONAL TEACHER with a personal , unique method / 10+ of teaching experience. I specialize in teaching modern Greek as a second language in a systematic and analytical way. I have graduated with honors from the University of Athens (philosophy) and I earned an MS at the University of Paris. Over the years I have developed a (personal) method for the acquisition of greek. My method has 2 aspects. It is on the one hand based on the dialectic (question - answer) where the student is acquiring the structure through active listening and repeating and on the other hand when it comes to the grammar and the syntax my method focus on the comprehension of the verb which I consider to be the central element of the phrase. If one masters the syntax of the verb all the other grammatical elements follow logically and naturally because it is the verb that dictates the environment around it. I use methods in order to easier organize my lessons. I mostly use the Patakis Method and also the click methods for the more advanced students. The rhythm of the class depends exclusively on the ability of each student. Therefore it is difficult to predict the necessary time required in order to complete to each level. But as a general line most students complete the A2 level successfully within 6 to 9 months. Since 2020 I prepare students for the greek language exams ELLNINOMATHEIA (especially in Cyprus) with nearly 100% success. My 2 golden rules for learning is comprehension of the underlying structure of the language and revision!!

Zaneta is incredible. She goes far beyond a textbook approach, although she knows the textbooks inside out and uses them whenever they are the best tool. It is difficult to do her justice because I have tried many Greek tutors and, until now, never found someone who could really get to the root of my grammar mistakes. Zaneta is the first tutor who has managed to do this. She has tailored my journey towards the B2 exams around my specific grammar weaknesses, rather than simply following a syllabus. Of course, she would be excellent at teaching someone from scratch, but what has impressed me most is her ability to work with someone who has more nuanced needs and complex underlying gaps. I genuinely have not found anyone else who can do this as well. I am also grateful for her focus on intuition, helping me understand the patterns behind the language rather than simply memorising rules. It makes learning both more enjoyable and much more likely to stick.

Zaneta is an amazing teacher! She is very supportive, clear in her explanations and always gives illustrative examples. Also, classes are in form of conversation which makes them spontaneous, interesting and relaxed.

Zaneta is an amazing teacher. With her help, I went from zero Greek to A2+ in just six months, passed both A2 and (with some luck) B1 exams. She is structured, patient, and demanding in the best possible way. Instead of simply making you memorize things, she explains the logic and connections behind the language. At first, this approach may feel slower and more challenging, but it gives you a very strong foundation that makes your progress much faster later on. She is never afraid to return to the same topics until they truly click. At the same time, she expects you to put in the work — this kind of progress is only possible if you’re ready to work together with your teacher. I’m very grateful for her approach and would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is serious about learning Greek.

I really enjoy learning Greek with Zaneta! She is always in a great mood, and our lessons really make my brain work hard 😊 I’ve already passed my B1 exam, and I’m very happy with my progress. I definitely recommend trying a lesson with Zaneta!

Όπως πάντα: Έντα τέλειο μάθημα από μια πάρα πολύ εξαιρετική δασκάλα! Μου αρέσει τόσο πολύ και κάθε φορά έχω περισσότερο κίνητρο να συνεχίσω να μαθαίνω ελληνικά!
