My name is Athanasios. I am a native Greek speaker, but I have also lived in the US and UK for a significant amount of time. Living back and forth between Greece and English-speaking countries has shaped a bilingual mind in me. Engaging in linguistics, chasing after etymological roots, and pondering over the definitions of words, are what fascinate me.
I have an interest in Biblical Greek, Greek Philosophy, and having good explanatory communication that is insightful for the student is what I consider a skill of mine.
Also, I like to bring the atmosphere of the class to a relaxed and easy feeling.
Other hobbies include web designing, writing, researching, traveling, and reading.

Moi en tant que professeur
As a teacher, I find myself functioning in the role daily with people. Whether to a Greek speaker on English or vice versa, I go to deep lengths to reach the true meaning of things and convey it to people. I've also been hosting Biblical Greek studies to people for about 4 years consecutively.
So I figured I would turn passion into a joy job.
Listening to the student and meeting them at their level, is key. The teaching comes first; getting paid is secondary. If I see progress in a student, and especially if I see joy in their eyes, that's having fun for me. And I can only achieve this effect if I prioritize tailoring myself around the student.
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
1. Learn the interests and needs of the student.
2. Keeping the class relaxed and the students at ease
3. Find where the student is at in their understanding of the language and begin teaching accordingly.
4. Adjust the teaching material around them, or create new ones for them - with personal additions.
5. Conversation practice will be plentiful and non-stressful. People learn when they have fun too.
6. Visual examples along with words, terms, and phrases are used to help with memorisation.
7. I use colloquial and informal words and expressions, to introduce them to what they will expect from the culture. Fitting in the culture can encourage a student a lot.

I had 17 hours of Greek lessons with Sakis and can wholeheartedly recommend him. The lessons are motivating, varied, and challenging in the right places. Sakis is very patient and explains everything in a friendly and understandable way. What I particularly appreciate is that the lesson content and methods are tailored exactly to my personal needs. Sakis picks up on individual questions and topics from previous lessons and continues to work on them with me. The lessons offer a good mix of grammar, reading, and practicing everyday communication. He is always responsive to questions and requests. Sakis is always optimistic and cheerful, making learning feel easy and enjoyable.
I had a lot of fun so far, made progress, and am glad to have found such a great and motivating teacher! Thank you.

Sakis is an excellent tutor. He is enthusiastic, energetic and patient. Whilst listed as a "community tutor", he is definitely professional. I thoroughly enjoy our lessons together and I can't wait for the next one!

I’ve been learning with Athanasios for a couple of months and he is an excellent teacher. With his help, I went from not even knowing the alphabet to now reading and beginning to comprehend in a short time. He is very informative, easy to talk to, and answers all my questions with patience. He makes sure that what he is teaching is relevant to me and my goals and is genuinely happy to see progress. I always look forward to our classes and I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn Greek.

Sakis is great! It was only my second class, but he got me very excited about this learning journey. He already had in the trial lesson, I just wanted to wait for a little bit before sharing my excitement. :)
