About us

Your learning needs are my top priority

Γεια σας!! Welcome to my online Greek / English lessons! This is where you get to learn about me and get an idea of what I do and what you should expect from my classes and me. My name is Anna, and I am a native Greek speaker, originally from Corfu, with more than twenty years of tutoring experience. However, England has been my home for almost twenty years now giving me first-hand knowledge of the language, mindset, and the city’s unique atmosphere. 

I adopt an effective and pleasant way of teaching you Greek and lessons are taught online in English, French or Italian. Together we will explore the colloquial terms and idioms of the Greek language, as well as your favourite topics of conversation. If you are an absolute beginner, the first Greek courses will focus on the fundamentals; I will teach you how to read and understand the sounds of the Greek alphabet, to combine syllables to form words, to use the articles, and to greet in Greek:  "Kalimera". We'll have simple conversations, but as we go on, they’ll become more complicated. 

So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to learn about me, my classes and my teaching method! I offer a variety of single and / or group classes, and I commit to delivering each class with a smile and to your highest level of satisfaction!

I hope you will enjoy what you see and read!

Learn Greek the fun way and let the others say: "It's all Greek to me!"

A bit more about me...

Teaching is a passion! I teach both languages Greek & English in French, English, Italian. I enjoy learning about different cultures, and I was fortunate to grow up on a multicultural and cosmopolitan Greek island where I had the opportunity to meet and work with people from all over the world. 


Stressless and enjoyable learning! It's more than just Tutoring!

 In my twenty plus years of experience, I have been teaching Greek to people from various cultures who wanted to visit or work in Greece and English to adults and children working towards their personal goals with great results!  

Like most of us, I have personal experience with the value of learning a foreign language whether professionally or personally but also of the challenges you must deal with…  Greek can be as challenging as any other language, but you can learn to read and speak with the right approach and guidance; all it takes is patience and a desire to learn, and that’s why I am here for. To guide you and teach you throughout your learning journey.   It doesn't matter your age, education or cultural background; everyone can learn and explore the beauty of both languages.   


What does a typical lesson with me look like?

Many people would agree that living in the country where the language is spoken is the best way to learn it. Because this is not always possible, the other best option you could have would be through interactive and friendly conversations.   

My classes are relaxed, fun, friendly and tailored to your individual needs!
Let us explore through questions, chit chats, stories, videos, songs etc. the fascinating world of Greek and English languages and cultures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are your business hours?

I can work anytime that works for you and around your schedule, availability permitting. 

Do you only teach online?

Yes, my lessons are provided only online. 

Is Greek a difficult language?

While Greek may be considered challenging for some due to its different alphabet, complex grammar, and pronunciation, it is certainly learnable with dedication and practice. Many people successfully learn Greek, and your own experience may vary depending on your individual circumstances and language learning abilities. Like any language, it becomes more manageable with consistent effort and practice. 

How long will it take me to learn Greek?

It's challenging to provide a specific timeframe for learning Greek. Some people can achieve basic conversational proficiency in a few months of dedicated study, while others may take a year or more to reach that level. To achieve a high level of fluency and proficiency in reading and writing, it often takes several years of consistent effort.

Remember that language learning is a gradual process, and there may be plateaus and periods of frustration along the way. The key is to stay motivated, set achievable goals, and continue practicing regularly. Additionally, seeking out opportunities to use the language in real-life situations, such as conversations with native speakers or travel to Greece, can greatly enhance your learning experience.

How many lessons a week should I take?

As a starting point, you might consider taking 2-3 lessons per week if you have the time and resources. This allows for regular practice and progress while still accommodating other commitments. However, some learners may choose to start with one lesson per week and gradually increase the frequency as they become more comfortable with the language.

It's essential to find a balance that works for you and keeps you motivated. Regular practice and exposure to the language are crucial for language acquisition, so consistency is key. Additionally, consider your instructor's recommendations and adapt your lesson frequency based on your progress and comfort level.

How long does the lesson last?

When determining the duration of your Greek language lessons, consider your personal learning style and attention span. Shorter, more frequent lessons might be suitable for some learners, while others may prefer longer, less frequent sessions. It's also important to communicate with your language tutor to find a schedule that works for both of you and aligns with your language learning goals.

Additionally, remember that language learning isn't limited to formal lessons. Practice and exposure to Greek outside of lessons, through activities like listening to Greek music, watching Greek films, or engaging in conversations with native speakers, are also important components of language acquisition.

How many hours a day / a week do I need to study?

It's important to note that the following estimates are only general guidelines, and individual results may vary based on factors such as your learning style, prior language learning experience, and the quality of your study materials. Additionally, language learning is not just about the number of hours but also about the effectiveness of your study sessions. To make the most of your study time, consider the following tips:

  • Diversify your study methods. Combine reading, writing, listening, and speaking exercises to reinforce your skills.
  • Set clear, achievable goals. Define what you want to accomplish in your study sessions to stay motivated and focused.
  • Practice regularly. Consistency is key in language learning, so try to study a little bit each day rather than cramming all your study hours into one or two days.
  • Seek immersion opportunities. Engage with native speakers, watch Greek-language content, and expose yourself to the language as much as possible, whenever possible.
  • Use learning materials such as apps, textbooks, social media or other resources that are suitable for your level and learning style.
  • Ultimately, the number of hours you dedicate to studying Greek should align with your specific goals and what you're comfortable with while maintaining a sustainable study routine.

What books do I need to buy? Do you provide studying material?

Before purchasing any books or resources, it's a good idea to check with your Greek language tutor for specific recommendations that align with your learning goals and course curriculum. Additionally, consider your personal learning style and preferences when selecting materials to ensure they suit your needs. 

What is your way of teaching?

My way of teaching is relaxed, friendly, and conversational. I always work with my students and tailor our lessons to their individual needs. I try to make the class less stressful and as enjoyable as possible, and I use various personalised materials such as visual tools, audio, books, and short stories.   

My lessons are based on real-life situations such as “how to introduce yourself in Greek”, “order your favourite food”, “ask for directions,” and so on. As you progress, we will explore the colloquial expressions of the Greek language and the idioms, and we will discuss your favourite topics of conversation. 

Do you provide lessons for all ages and levels?

Yes, I provide lessons that are tailored to each student’s individual needs. Together, we discuss what the best approach for you is. 

I provide lessons for all levels and prepare students for the Greek language proficiency certificates of the European Union if they so wish.

Kindly note that if students are under the legal age of 18, they must have permission from a legal guardian before booking.

Can I start learning Greek as a complete beginner?

Yes, I offer Greek lessons for complete beginners starting from scratch. 

What is your approach to complete beginners?

If you are a complete beginner, the initial Greek lessons will focus on the basics; I will teach you how to read and understand the sounds of the Greek alphabet, combine syllables to formulate words, use the articles, and greet in Greek. “Kalimera”. We will have simple conversations, but as we go on, they’ll become more complicated: “Γειά σου, τι κάνεις;” (Yeah sou, ti kaneis;)   

How do I know if the tutor is suitable for me?

First, look at the tutor's availability; does it correspond to when you are usually available for lessons? Then, look at the information on their profile. 

Book a free trial lesson to get to know each other and ask questions you may have. 

During the trial lesson, the tutor will assess the student's level and discuss their teaching approach.

Can I see the tutor’s availability?

Yes, the tutor’s availability is shown on the calendar when you choose the suitable for your workshop or individual lesson.

If you can't find a convenient slot please get in touch.

What if the tutor is a no-show?

Tutors are also human beings, and unexpected circumstances or emergencies can occur to them, too. We respect your time and money, and we are always punctual, but in the event of the unexpected, we will let you know as soon as possible, explaining the reason we will not be able to make it. 

Can the tutor decline future lessons with a student?

Yes, occasionally students and tutors don't seem to be a good fit, and the tutor may not feel comfortable teaching a specific student. In this situation, the tutor has the option to decline or refuse to offer additional tuition following the trial lesson. 

 If a student believes that the tutor is not a good fit for them, they can simply refuse to schedule any additional classes with the tutor, no questions asked.

What if I cannot attend my lesson?

If, for some reason, you cannot attend your scheduled lesson and you know it in advance, it would be greatly appreciated if you would give your tutor 24 hours' notice. If this isn’t possible, the tutor will wait in the class for 15 minutes and then log off. 

What if something unexpected occurs in the last minute or just before the scheduled lesson?

Life happens and it’s normal to have unexpected circumstances that occur at the last minute, such as sickness, work, family, internet connection problems, power cuts, etc. In this case, make sure you inform your tutor as soon as possible that you won’t be able to make the lesson. 

The tutor will either cancel or reschedule your lesson, or you can check the tutor’s availability and rebook the session yourself. 

What is the earliest / latest notification for lesson booking?

The tutor can accept a lesson booking on the same day, depending on availability for that day. Double-check with the tutor before making a lesson booking, and make sure you mention the time zone you are in.

What if I cannot connect to the class?

The tutor will be waiting for you for 15 minutes to attend the class. During this time, you will be able to contact them via Skype, email, or WhatsApp, explaining the situation and trying together to find an alternative. 

How can I contact the tutor?

You can contact the tutor by email, SMS, the online contact form, or WhatsApp. Unfortunately, the tutor will not be able to take any phone calls as she may be in the middle of a class.

Are trial lessons free and can I arrange more than one?

Trial lessons are free and offered to new students. This is a good opportunity to meet and find out if you are a good match for each other.

Trial lesson: one per person.
