Teaching Approach
Student-centered methodology.
Lessons will be tailor-made to fit your needs, goals and interests. I will do my best to present material clearly and check to make you're comfortable with the pace.
We will work together systematically to make step-by-step progress using a teaching method to suit how you learn best.
Flexible, patient, and encouraging teaching - I’m learning Greek so I know how it feels to be a language learner!
