Rania Katsampa

Rania is one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure of working with on Italki, and in any language. Using well put together presentations, as well as books and articles she has written on Greek culture and traditions, Rania is always well prepared to discuss specific, interesting topics with me and these constitute the backbone of our lessons. Rania has also provided me with spot on film, TV drama and book recommendations suited to my interests and tastes, and these add an enjoyable out-of-the-class room dimension to our lessons, supplementing and enhancing what I am learning one-on-one with my teacher. In short, I highly recommend Rania to anyone who is learning Greek, and, particular, those who have a keen interest in Greek culture, tradition and history, subjects Rania has expert knowledge of, and has written extensively on.

Excellent pronunciation practice

Rania is an exceptional Greek teacher whose deep and nuanced knowledge of the language is matched only by her affinity for sharing it. Her lessons reflect not only linguistic expertise but also a rich cultural perspective that brings the language vividly to life. She exemplifies all the qualities of a consummate professional, always prepared, articulate, and highly responsive to her students’ needs. I highly recommend Rania to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated Greek teacher.

Rania has created a lesson plan that matches my needs as a heritage language learner. She is warm, encouraging, and obviously passionate about the material.

If your goal is to live and breathe Greek culture, Rania is the perfect choice. The problem with picking up Greek informally is that no one corrects you, and you only ever see part of the big picture. Rania’s communicative, content-rich approach makes me feel more motivated and confident about what I can achieve. I can't wait to improve my pronunciation and finally connect all the pieces. She’s an excellent teacher for foreigners living and working in Greece.
