About me
I have been teaching Greek language literature (classical and modern) in high schools in Greece for over thirty years. Since 2016, I have been teaching in a Greek minority school in Turkey. All those years I have been helping my students with tutoring enforcing their knowledge of the Greek language, ancient and modern, and helping them pass difficult exams. I am also trained to teach Greek as a second language and I have certificates in e-learning education.
My main interest in life apart from my family is my students with whom I have excellent relationships. I am involved in different extracurricular projects like E twinning, Erasmus, Comenius, etc, run by the EU Committee.
I love arts, cinema, traveling, and literature. I love the internet.
I have over 35 years of experience in Greek High Schools, teaching Greek Language and Literature, ancient and modern. I am trained in teaching Greek as a Foreign/Second Language and I have been doing it since 2013. I am also trained in E-Learning and Distance Learning in various European programs. Cooperative learning is also a field I was trained in and practiced during the numerous International and European school projects that I managed since 1996.
My one-to-one private lessons are tailored to the needs, goals, and backgrounds of my students. I firmly believe that successful learning cannot be done without a calm and understanding relationship between the learner and the educator.

Before our first class, I was a bit nervous, but after a few seconds with Maria I felt a safe space where to share our common passion for learnin languages. After the class I was just jumping around the house, telling everyone how Maria was great! You can feel she has a really deep knowledge of Greek and Greece. She listens to your feedbacks and adapts the lessons to your needs. She is so passionate about her work that she answers to my questions even during the days we are not having classes. And even though I haven´t met her "personally", I can feel she is a great human being with a very warm heart! So - if you have the luck to, don´t hesitate to become her student :-)Brian

Maria is an experienced and very knowledgeable teacher. This shows clearly when she accurately anticipates your needs and prepares appropriately for your next lesson. I was already a great fan of Greece and her language and culture and Maria has helped to deepen this interest. If I were as diligent at completing my homework assignments as Maria is in preparing her lessons I would probably already be fluent in Greek. Very highly recommended.jan

My classes with Maria started out as conversation classes between teacher and student but turned out to be pleasant conversations between friends about any subject. Not only Maria helps me out when I have a grammatical or any linguistic problem in Greek, but she also talks about the etymology and the history, which is also important because learning a language is not only about learning words or grammar rules. I'm looking forward to our next conversation!Mila

Maria is fantastic! She listens very carefully to your goals and tailors the lessons to your exact needs. She is able to quickly pick up on your skill level and is very patient and encouraging. Her knowledge of the Greek language is astounding and I particularly enjoy that she can talk on a variety of subjects. It is clear that she thoroughly prepares each lesson and really, I could not recommend her enough!Kit

Maria is an experienced and knowledgable teacher, and adapts the content and methods to your background and aims. She draws on resources from a variety of sources. While she is not afraid to correct you, she is also very encouraging, and is happy to communicate outside of class time to answer any burning questions.Tom

Coming from a background in linguistics, it was refreshing to work with a tutor who had studied the same. Unbelievably kind, patient, actually gives 110% every lesson, and incredibly understanding as it comes to scheduling. Excellent experience over the past year.
