À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 23 Sep 2019Sujets d'intérêtJeuxFilmsArtMusiqueÉcriture
I greatly enjoy breaking words down and explaining how my language works: I really need to get a life.
I teach through context, exposing students to stories *very* early on, while sneakily increasing the amount of Greek spoken in class.
My students are encouraged to produce their own texts and utterances once they are able to read, and get trained to need me less and less. I like linguistic comparisons, capitalising on languages a learner speaks, and explaining Greek through familiar structures.

I've been teaching Greek for 7 years now, and I'm very proud of my students' fast progress and solid understanding of the language. I've learnt and taught several languages to people from many linguistic backgrounds, which enables me to tailor your classes based on your mother tongue and command of other languages.
¡Me encantaría enseñarte en español, te espero!
Мне было бы очень весело учить вас по-русски, я вас жду!

I like deconstructing Modern Greek patterns through a cross-linguistic prism. I exclusively use my own material, and a method shaped through comprehensible input, word formation, context, and etymology.
Content themes circumvent popular clichés and stereotypes about Greece, while the language is relevant and featured the way native speakers use it in real life. Use of exercises is minimal; instead, I encourage writing and speaking, after considerable exposure to oral and written input. Students get to look at Greek structures in different contexts, including various forms of art and entertainment.Mes ressources d'enseignement

Licence - Language & LinguisticsThis is an ongoing degree. As I have not completed it yet, I am attaching a recent email I received confirming my course selection for my final year. The italki confirmation email is also visible on the left. Please note that Yorgos and Georgios in Greek are the same name, in case my full name on the email confuses you.
In case you request an official proof of student status letter from my uni, I am more than happy to provide one.

Expérience professionnelle
2017 - 2022
Greek Language TeacherManaging small adult classes, often employing grecophone media such as songs and short films.
Organised a shift from textbooks to customised content, after noticing that textbook language did not correspond to real-life situations.
Directed the transition from on-site to online lessons during the pandemic, teaching all classes and designing every level's curriculum. Introduced conversational lessons that accommodated different levels, including complete beginners.
2014 - 2016
English TutorTutoring Greek pre-teens at A2-B1, guiding them through etymology, context and essay writing. Observing what Greek speakers struggled with when learning English, granted me a solid understanding of my native language.
In my current path as a Greek teacher, this has enabled me to mitigate two common challenges in teaching one's own mother tongue: comprehending intuitively-learnt structures, and seeing them through a non-native perspective.

What I really love about these lessons is that there is no book involved. It's a lot about me asking thousands of questions and Yorgos being ready with as many sources of good tailored material that answer my questions and help me remember words and structures. Memes are a golden addition!
His background in Italian language and Ancient Greek allow him to explain to me things from a different etymological perspective, adding so much richness to the lexicon I learn. He never judges and he positively reinforces all the progress you make, encouraging you to have conversations and make mistakes in order to grow. Bravo!

Ο Γιώργος είναι ένας πολύ καλός δάσκαλος. Είναι υπομονετικός και έξυπνος, και ξέρει πολύ από η γλώσσα ελληνική. Δουλεύει πολύ από τα μαθήματα για να προετοιμάζει. Ευχαριστώ Υιωργο !

Another great session with Yorgos! Yorgos' passion for linguistics and knowledge of various languages has helped immensely when breaking down and explaining various parts of the greek language. Very easy to talk to - I can recommend fully!

This was the best lesson yet with Yorgos… I think I keep saying that, but honestly, these hours spent learning with Yorgos? Just hugely powerful for my learning. On a human level, this is a splendid person. I am lucky to have found him.

Best class ever… I’m thinking I may have turned a corner and am speaking more, thanks to Yorgos. He explained a key concept that I truly understood. Before, I really hadn’t gotten it. Understanding that was the key to loosening me up and helping me speak more easily. Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ, Γιώργο μου! 😊 🎉 🎈 🎊
