Me as a Teacher
π«‘ I'm Leonidas, a passionate Greek teacher with a Classics degree from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. My teaching philosophy is all about infusing innovation and spontaneity into the learning process. I believe that the best way to master Greek is through engaging conversations, and to keep things organized and accessible for my students, I provide all course materials in a single, meticulously crafted PDF file. Moreover, I'm a strong advocate for utilizing technology as a tool to enhance the attractiveness and effectiveness of my lessons, ensuring that each class is an exciting journey into the beauty of the Greek language and culture.
My lessons & teaching style
βοΈ In my lessons, I take a holistic approach to teaching. Beyond the convenience of having all course materials in one organized PDF file, I continuously engage my students across the four essential language modules: speaking, listening, writing, and reading. By seamlessly weaving these components together, I ensure a dynamic and engaging learning experience, keeping boredom at bay. Moreover, I prioritize active listening to my students' needs, concerns, and questions, fostering a collaborative learning environment where their feedback guides my teaching, and together, we embark on a journey of mutual growth and language mastery.

Leonidas is a very lively and engaging teacher. I had a short lesson with him and immediately booked my next one. He is patient, interesting and challenging and is willing to accommodate all my needs.

The first lesson/conversation with Leonidas went smoothly, like having a friend drop by.... Pleasant atmosphere and 10/10 for enthusiasm.
It didn't feel like a lesson at all and yet I learned a lot and received many tips... That is an art in itself, especially when it comes to the beautiful, yet difficult Greek language!
Very well organised with plenty of documentation to show and share.
I would advise everyone : try it yourself so you can definitely agree with me! :)
