Rania Katsampa

Rania is a wonderful Greek teacher who I highly recommend! She shows her dedication and love for sharing knowledge of language and culture in every lesson. It feels great to know that I have such a caring and fun teacher on my side, ready to push me forward with each lesson. Her lessons are varied and creative (fun) but ultimately have a natural and organized progression from beginner to slightly intermediate (to avoid any gaps in learning). I have been meeting with Rania online for three months, and other native speakers have noticed my progress and confirmed that these lessons have significantly improved my speaking skills. I look forward to continuing our lessons with the goal being able to communicate in daily conversations with native speakers here in the US and when I travel to Greece. My advice to others is to not wait! I wish I had started sooner! It is so rewarding to learn new words/concepts that are then directly applied to communicating with native speakers.

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.

Rania is an encouraging and warm teacher, who has supported me through beginner Greek lessons. She is patient and always prepared with a range of exercises to practice my spoken and read Greek.

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.

With Rania as my Greek teacher my confidence in Greek is growing. She has given me strong learning tools to develop my spoken, written, and read Greek as a complete beginner.

Rania is a warm and friendly Greek teacher, who has helped me progress with beginner Greek since we started working together. She complements her language teaching with cultural insights into Greece.
