Dimitris

I chose Dimitris as my tutor as he studied Greek language and linguistics and I could not have made a better choice. Dimitris is simply an excellent tutor. He teaches the foundation of the language in a way that makes sense and allows you to construct your own sentences confidently. If I don't understand something, Dimitris can explain it in a way that not only makes sense but encourages me to ask anything further without feeling self-conscious. He is very flexible in what he teaches and often changes the lesson plan to fit my needs. When choosing a tutor, one thing you should not take for granted is their competence in how well they speak your language, so there are no language barriers. Dimitris is fluent in many languages and I'm not ashamed to admit, he speaks better English than myself. I always look forward to my lessons with him, as they are always fun, engaging and helpful. I am very grateful to him for what he has helped me achieve and I fully recommend him as a tutor.

I've been learning Greek with Dimitris for well over a year now, and with his support I've seen incredible progress. In particular, he's worked really hard to increase my vocabulary across a wide range of topic areas, as well as focus on grammatical areas where I need more practice, such as passive verb conjugations. He's used a whole range of resources with me, from written texts to videos, ensuring coverage across the four skills. Also, crucially, he's friendly and approachable, and creates a really comfortable environment to study in. I become a more confident Greek speaker with every lesson, thanks to his skilled guidance as a teacher. Would recommend him to any level of learner, from beginner to advanced.

Dimitrios is a great teacher on whom you can rely on. He teaches Greek grammar in a very clear and detailed way, while also explaining words and the contexts in which they are used, making a difference between written and spoken language. The classes with him are enjoyable, centered on conversation on a vast array of topics.

Another excellent lesson! Thank you! I would highly recommend Dimitris to anyone looking to learn Greek. I am trying to prepare for a Greek language exam, and already in a few lessons, Dimitris has helped me come up with a good plan for approaching the exam. He has also explained to me what areas I need to focus on to improve (generally, and specifically for the exam). We have spent the class time focusing on speaking practice, and have not just been mindlessly going over the exercises I did to prepare for class (like many of us did in language classes in school). Again, I would definitely recommend working with Dimitris if you are serious about trying to learn Greek!

Started stydying Modern Greek with Dimitrys from an absolute zero and in a year and a half have successfully passed a B1 exam with an excellent mark. Dimitrys knows the language from the inside and out, is extremely patient, and accomodates your learning preferences. Unlike a lot of the teachers who just know Greek thanks to being native, Dimitrys really does understand the grammatical foundations and is able to find parallels in whatever you personally understand and has a ton of experience delivering you through the toughest spots which natives don't even know exist. Anyway, if you need to learn Modern Greek, you found your man

Dimitri is an excellent language teacher. I have already been taking lessons with him for many months and anticipate I will continue for many years. I have used iTalki for over a decade across multiple languages and taken classes with over 20 teachers to find the best fit for long term commitments in each language. Dimitri is at the absolute top, not just among Greek teachers but across all of my iTalki experience. He is precise, friendly, easy to talk to, adaptable, and technologically adept. He is comfortable speaking about a range of topics from the everyday to the highly academic. His formal training allows him to explain linguistic concepts with as much detail and sophistication as you desire. He can also keep things simple if you prefer or when the moment calls for it. Over the years, I have also developed specific strategies that work best for me that Dimitri easily implemented with complete fidelity upon my request. I give him my highest recommendation!
