My Name is Reverend Father Shimshon Temmo, and I currently serve at St Mary's Parish in Athens and St George Mission Church in Thessaloniki.
I have served as a Deacon across multiple Churches in Sydney, learning and reading the Aramaic language. I was ordained into the Priesthood and served as a Priest at St Hurmizd Cathedral, St. Mary's Parish, St George’s, St. Peters and Paul’s Parish.
While performing and fulfilling my Priesthood duties in Sydney, I commenced Theological studies at Nisibis Theological College. After completing my service in Sydney, I travelled to Greece to serve the Assyrian community in St Mary's Parish, Athens and Thessaloniki.

Me as a Teacher
While serving as a priest in Sydney, I taught the Aramaic language to students embarking on becoming fluent readers.
Upon moving to Greece, I began teaching face-to-face clergy, choir, and general parishioners the language to read during liturgical services fluently. Moreover, I also introduced the Aramaic language to the local Greek people, both academic and non-academic.
My teaching expanded online, where I currently teach Aramaic to various academic and non-academic students. Likewise, I can assist those interested in Aramaic Scripture, hymns, songs, praises or general history.
My lessons & teaching style
Always having fun and keeping it simple is the most crucial aspect of learning.
I offer a threefold structure option in my teaching style.
1) Aramaic Language:
If you want to learn the Aramaic language, we will begin with an introduction and alphabet, followed by vowels, and then passage reading.
2) Biblical studies:
Or we can explore the Holy Bible together and discover the word of God in English or Aramaic. We can examine passages and discuss Biblical verses in the Old and New Testaments.
3) Spiritual guidance:
Or else, if you are going through a rough patch in life and would like guidance, we can discuss the best path for your life and get you back on track stronger than ever.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first lesson. Reverend Shimshon Temmo is an amazing teacher, he is very experienced, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He made learning this ancient language very relatable and easy to grasp. I can’t believe I have read my first word in Aramaic already.
Thank you again.

Rev's lessons are excellent! Each lesson is structured carefully. The lesson material is always very clear and includes tasks for all abilities. This makes the lessons' pace very flexible--it is easily adapted to the pace of the learner. This helps me a lot because I feel free to choose my pace (which is not the same every lesson). No matter what my pace is I learn a lot at the end of every lesson.
Rev provides not only worksheets but also his own recordings for the pronunciations.
He is also very friendly and approachable. I can interrupt the flow to ask any question at any time during the lesson. He is always ready to listen and help. I would recommend him hundred percent.
