Teaching Approach
|
|
|
The way I see it, learning any language means putting yourself out there, trying to communicate a message. As children we were not afraid to make mistakes while speaking or writing so gradually we learned from experience and mastered our first language easily. So what is stopping us from learning more languages? It's the fact that as adults we become conscious of being judged when making mistakes and our self confidence is lowered. So my first goal is to teach you that this fear has no place in the learning process. Learning a language means experimenting with words until we get it right. My philosophy on learning any language is: when you are on your own, I will urge you to "Read, Read and Read"! Reading any kind of text in the target language helps with your vocabulary, grammar, spelling and diction. Then when it comes to conversationa l English that's where I come in. I will instantly help with your pronunciation , help you become more confident in speaking even when the occasional slip occurs, because it simply doesn't matter. What's important is to get your message across and build your confidence in using the language! Remember! Every human has an innate ability to speak languages! You just have to think about it as a fun activity. I will certainly do my best to keep you motivated!

Program Description
|
|
|
I have been teaching for over 15 years now and the most important lesson I have learned is that every student is unique, therefore lessons and activities have to be catered to each individual learner. There is no single recipe for successful learning. The teacher has to be imaginative, inventive and intuitive. Once we establish what motivates you in learning a language, I will make sure the program of study suits your personality, your needs and that your goals are met. To me a student-teach er relationship is always a "help me, help you" kind of relationship. One cannot exist without the other. So when a mutual respect develops between them, miracles can happen.

Teaching Experience
|
|
|
I have taught 5-7 year old pupils how to read and write simple words in either Greek or English in only ten lessons using the phonic system of learning a language. I have taught primary education students from beginners to elementary in both public and private educational establishment s and helped them achieve good marks on their Cambridge YLE exams. I have taught secondary education students how to achieve excellence in their GCSEs, and IGCSEs. I have tutored graduates and helped them with their IELTS exams as a higher university entry requirement. I have had young professionals seek help because of a upcoming promotion opportunity. Finally, there were the students who needed proofreading of their academic assignments as well as help with translations of all kinds of documents from Greek to English and vice versa.

Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
Q: What is your teaching schedule? A: "When there is a will, there's a way"! I am sure we can find a time that's best for both of us.
Q: What is your payment policy? A: I prefer Paypal. It's easy and secure. But cash or check can also come in handy!
Q: What other relevant experience makes you a more effective teacher? A: I have worked with students of all ages and different nationalities over a long period of time. I know that having experience in teaching doesn't always mean being a good teacher but if you give me a chance I am sure I can help you become a successful learner.

Cost of Lessons
|
|
|
I usually charge between 18 to 29 GBP per session when teaching in person (20 -35 EURO. Discounts available depending on the number of lessons booked and if a student is a beginner or advanced. A session can be between 45 minutes or an hour or more sometimes if there are still activities that need to be done but the price stays the same. I am sure what ever the case we can come to a fair agreement.
