I am a journalist and a qualified teacher, having completed the Program Routes in teaching Modern Greek, conducted by the Center for the Greek language. I also have worked for 20+ years as a journalist. I like walking in nature and traveling. I have been to London, Toronto, Washington D.C., Maryland, and Kuşadası; I have visited many Greek islands. I'm interested in psychology and spiritual life. I love children and their way of seeing the world. My favorite genres of books are children's and memoirs. I love teaching. It makes me happy.Me as a Teacher
As a tutor, I'm patient and encouraging yet strict. However, I don't let any rule I have set prevent us from having fun. I have worked as a Greek Second Language Tutor for the last six years after I quit my job as a journalist and a digital editor with magazines and newspapers. Since 2023, I have been back to journalism, yet teaching keeps making me happy. I give Greek lessons to English speakers of B1 level and above.My lessons & teaching style
As a language tutor, I use a variety of sources, and I love technology with all the fantastic tools it provides us these days. My favorite ones are LearningApps, and Educaplay. I also use my own YouTube videos on grammar, structure, listening, and vocabulary. I urge all students to use what they have learned at a time without any fear so that they build confidence from the beginning.My teaching material

Joanne is a fun and motivating teacher. Her lessons really help me understand the concepts of the complexities of the Greek language, which solidifies a strong foundation to continue learning this fun language. I leave each lesson encouraged and inspired to get to the next lesson.

Fantastic class! We practised my reading skills and Joanne helped me improve it tremendously. She went quite a bit overtime, but she didn't want me to stop. Thank you so much! The class is always fun and time flies like crazy with her.

An excellent lesson today working on my pronunciation. So easy to get rusty but we worked at it diligently. Joanne is a great and very patient teacher.
