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

Yes, my lessons are provided only online. 

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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

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;)   

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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.
