Teaching Experience:

? am a Greek Tutor. I have been working as a tutor of the Greek language for about 10 years and have been teaching students of all ages. I have been tutoring Greek and ancient Greek intensively for the past years, with thousands of hours' teaching experience to date.
I am always open to my pupils' suggestions and I try to organise the learning session, according to their own needs and level. My lessons are always well structured according to my students' needs and expectations. Listening/speaking and reading/writing skills are developed through an interactive, productive and pleasant way.

Tutoring Approach:

Every lesson is of course different, and tailored to the tutee's requirements, but I find this approach works in the vast majority of cases. I consider grammar to be crucially important, but treat it as a means to an end and always emphasise the ways in which it can be usefully applied to translation rather than learned in isolation. At the end of the lesson we will recap all the new vocabulary and grammar which was covered, and I will typically set a manageable minute homework for the next session based on what was covered in the lesson. I believe that any tutee can excel in Greek with a little guidance and a decent amount of independent work. Above all, I strive to make my lessons fun and enjoyable. I love my subject and want all of my tutees to love it too.
