About Me
italki teacher since Apr 6, 2023InterestsTravelReadingFilms & TV Series
My name is Aris and I grew up in a household, where we spoke Catalan, Spanish and Greek on a daily basis. This made multilingualism the rule for me. After some time I started adding other languages to my repertoire: English, French, Russian, German, and finally Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. Yes, that’s 8 languages! Next might be Turkish, Farsi, or Ukrainian.
I have lived in Barcelona, Saint Petersburg, Graz, Rijeka, and Sarajevo so far, and I am excited to eventually expand that list. I love travelling and sincerely approaching new languages and cultures. Besides, I enjoy simply talking to people about anything from history to sports or music, if possible while drinking a cup of Turkish coffee.Me as a Teacher
I have taught languages for years now and have developed the empathy and skills needed to help others. Having learned so many languages myself, I can put into practice my own insights to offer a wholesome learning experience.
The main skill that I have acquired is the ability to listen to the other person and to grasp what he/she wants to say. I also learned when to speak so as not to interrupt the other person when he/she is into motion.
I would say that I am a patient and understanding language teacher who knows how to create a pleasant environment for learners. I try to make them feel comfortable enough to leave fear aside and grasp the nettle, that is, speaking without fear or shame!My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is flexible and entertaining yet well-structured and enriching. I try to adapt to the learner, his/her learning objectives and personality, to offer a tailored experience.
Regarding my preferences, I believe that engaging in exchanges is the best way to gain confidence in a language, and that is why I love teaching conversation courses. However, these have to be well-thought and both preceded and followed by tasks and materials. In this regard, I always try to grasp what the learner's interests are to choose the topics accordingly.
On the other hand, I am very flexible and can adapt my lessons to work on the the linguistic competences that are more relevant to each case.My teaching material

Aris is really nice and patient. I like that he tailored the session to things I could use for travel since that is my goal. He’s easy to understand and kept things interactive. He also got me back on track when I went way off topic since I have ADHD 😂

What I really like about our sessions is Aris's incredible ability to bring so many different aspects to the class: grammatical explanation but also cultural insights and comparative notions amongst other languages. Ευχαριστώ πολύ, Άρη! Τα λέμε
