💫 Friendly, optimistically realistic, and endlessly curious—I’m a language lover and cultural explorer at heart! As a native Greek speaker and fluent English teacher, I specialize in making language learning feel like an adventure, blending grammar with real-life Greek culture, traditions, and modern quirks.
My passion for psychology and deep conversations means our lessons can go beyond vocabulary—we’ll explore how language and culture shapes thinking (and vice versa!). Whether you’re a beginner or polishing fluency, I’ll help you speak naturally and embrace the messy, joyful process.
P.S. Ask me about Greek coffee rituals, untranslatable words, or how to sound like a local!
Me as a Teacher
🗣️ I am happy to tailor the lesson around your needs and priorities, focusing on the things you find useful and interesting in your linguistic journey. Every student is different and unique, so I aim to create a personalized plan that includes realistic and achievable goals we can set together. :)
I encourage you to make mistakes and learn from them, while providing and repeating explanations and corrections, as many times as you need me to. I also have lots of homework and grammar/vocabulary/reading/listening/speaking practice to send, while I am always open to requests or suggestions that will optimize your learning experience. :)
My lessons & teaching style
👩🏻🏫🗨️ My teaching style is mainly based on real life conversations & scenarios, as well as important aspects of the spoken language, here in Greece. At the same time it's accommodating and quite laid back, so you can let go of all of your worries about how you might sound or how many mistakes you might be making. :)
Our lessons will be flexible, adapting to your current priorities, needs and desires.
