No matter what your goal is in learning Greek, I’m here to make the process structured, engaging, and meaningful. With a background in Translation Studies (MA, University of Portsmouth) and over 20 years of professional experience working between Greek and English, I bring both linguistic precision and cultural depth to every lesson.
Having lived and worked abroad for several years, I understand the challenges expats and heritage learners face when reconnecting with the Greek language. My lessons are fully customized to your needs, and learning style—whether you’re an adult rediscovering your roots, a parent helping your child connect with their heritage, or a learner starting from zero.Me as a Teacher
I’m a professional, full-time Greek and English teacher with over 15 years of experience helping students of all ages and backgrounds learn to communicate with confidence. I specialise in teaching expats, heritage learners, and children who want to connect more deeply with the Greek language and culture. My lessons & teaching style
- Experience a dynamic virtual classroom enriched with interactive materials — videos, quizzes, songs, and cultural activities inspired by Greek literature, history, and everyday life.
- Enjoy well-structured, personalized lessons tailored to your level, goals, and learning style — whether you’re a beginner, heritage speaker, or expat living in Greece or abroad.
- Start speaking Greek from the very first lesson, developing real communication skills you can use in daily life.
- Gain confidence and fluency at your own pace — in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere, with no homework unless you want it.My teaching material

Elena is a wonderful teacher, a real listener, informed and insightful. This was my first lesson but I get the sense her professional yet informal approach will make a big contribution to me becoming proficient in Greek. Thanks Elena!
